Some years are certainly more interesting than others when in comes to TV fare. And 1990 certainly had a number of memorable TV escapades, for better or worse. It didn’t seem right to shine a spotlight on a young Sandra Bullock’s ill-fated starring stint in a TV adaptation of Working Girl. Then again, that wasn’t as big a bomb as the one that executive producer Steven Bochco dropped when he combined a gritty police-procedural drama with almost-laughable musical numbers in a show called Cop Rock. While those may be amusing binge-watch exercises, there are plenty of others that are also … Continue reading →

The 1990′s introduced the world to Quentin Tarantino, saw the creation of the Nc-17 rating, and began the slow call toward fully computer animated films. It began the slow (still slow) movement toward a more diverse industry, with the first African-American director earning an Oscar nomination (John Singleton for “Boyz in the Hood”). And the year after one of the greatest years in the history of film, 1995 came plodding along, trying to keep up. So, for the first definitive list of 2015, we are going to look back 20 years at a year that, at first glance, doesn’t look so hot. It’s ripe with flops, but it’s also full of debuts, trailblazing beginnings, and better films than it gets credit for. But, the caveat still stands: this is not a “best of” list. In fact, there are a lot of bad movies on this list. But, they are movies that made a cultural impact,...

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how an episode of Saturday Night Live is done. Was it perfect? No, but compared to a lot of what we’ve seen this season, it was downright awards-worthy. Here’s hoping we see a lot more of the lovely Ms. Melissa McCarthy on SNL. The actress, who next graces our movie screens in June’s The Heat opposite Sandra Bullock (a dream team if there ever was one), infused the show with a much-needed energy, giving it her all, even when that all meant face-planting on the sticky stage floor.

Oh, that Sandra Bullock. So crafty. So discreet. So, what else is she hiding? To be honest, it's hard to top today's twin bombshells that: (1) she filed for divorce five days ago from "Bombshell" expert Jesse James; and (2) she adopted a baby boy three months ago. But we efforted, and came up with some other Bullock tidbits that may have eluded your radar: She Owes It All to The Facts of Life: Or, rather, she owes it all to Jo, aka Nancy McKeon. See, in late 1989, McKeon dropped out of Working Girl, a high-profile TV spinoff of the hit film of the same name. Bullock, who only had a handful of credits at the time, heard about the opening, auditioned—and got her big break. A...

Sandra Bullock is one of the world's most popular, most recognizable and longest-lasting movie stars. She arrived on July 26, 1964, as Sandra Annette Bullock, the daughter of opera singer Helga Meyer and voice coach and Pentagon contractor John Bullock. Though she was born in Arlington, Virginia, Bullock actually grew up in Nuremberg, Germany, where she first dipped her toes in the entertainment waters by studying vocal arts and ballet dancing, and appearing (briefly) in some of her mother's shows. She returned to the States in the mid-70's, attending high school and then going to college at East Carolina University in North Carolina, but she exited before graduation in order to chase her acting dream. It wasn't long before Bullock -- initially based in New York City -- started to find work. She landed a role in the back-door pilot Bionic Showdown: The Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman...

As a Best Actress and Worst Actress nominee, Bullock continues on a divergent career path.

For seven long years, she was the girl in that failed movie/ TV show that you vaguely recognized. In 1994, she took the bus ride from hell with Keanu Reeves and became America's new sweetheart. Now, after a decade and a half as the A-list star of various chick-flick hits, Sandra Bullock has begun a new stage of her career: Oscar nominee.
Oddly enough, Bullock's sweet success was made bitter by another distinction: a Razzie nomination for Worst Actress. Being simultaneously nominated as the best and worst at your job is something truly rare. Yet, for Bullock, such a dichotomy seems oddly appropriate.
"I could not begin to tell you about the plot of the movie, because we'd be here for one hour and 35 minutes. I literally can't.
