BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Coach Revived as 13-Episode Event Series. No, Seriously.

Hayden Fox will coach another day.

By Brandon Wolfe

Dusting off The X-Files, 24 and Twin Peaks was one thing, but here’s something no one saw coming. A deal has been struck to revive Coach, the Craig T. Nelson sitcom that ran on ABC from 1989-1997, for a 13-episode event series on NBC. Nelson will reprise his role as Hayden Fox and series creator Barry Kemp will write the new installments.

The new Coach will be a real-time sequel to the original series, picking up 18 years after the series finale to focus on the now-retired Coach Fox stepping forward to assist his adult son, who is the head coach at an Ivy League school in Pennsylvania. The new series will retain the multi-camera style employed by the original.

It has yet to be determined how many of Nelson’s original co-stars, including Jerry Van Dyke, Shelley Fabares, Bill Fagerbakke, Clare Carey and Kenneth Kimmins, will join him, but presumably at least a few will.

Man, Coach is coming back. That’s so weird. Can we revive Perfect Strangers next?

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...

Movie Review: #Vacation

Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...
