by Jaclyn Abergas on January 24th, 2012 | Reality TV, TV News
When it comes to boxing, the spotlight is always on the boxers. They are, after all, the ones who get beaten for a living. But there's another person who's also made the same sacrifices, possesses the same amount (if not more) of dedication and commitment to achieving their ultimate goal: the trainer.

Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao, the boxing pride of the Philippines, has proven to fans and critics, in the boxing ring, why he is a boxing champion. A lot of people know about him and his family through media. But few people really know the man behind the champion, his Read More

The Golden Globe awards really accentuate the seismic shift in the television landscape over the last decade. Many of the television shows up for the various awards came from premium networks that were once known solely for broadcasting movies, such as HBO and Showtime.

Of the five nominees, two were on premium networks, which is two more than NBC and CBS Read More

Angry Boys Update

by Kaitlin on January 11th, 2012 | Comedy
We're two weeks in with HBO's new comedy series, Angry Boys, and so far, so good. I need to keep reminding myself that it is not Summer Heights High, and although there are similarities (as to be expected with the same creative team and similar concept), it is a completely different show that is exploring a completely different theme.

After four half-hour episodes (two last week and two this past Sunday), we've finally been introduced to all six of Chris Lilley's characters. As luck would have it (and perhaps deliberately to keep viewers watching), the character I was most looking Read More
