Is 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' In The Midst Of A Robot Revolution?
Kimmy Schmidt is a cult survivor full of hope and optimism — she starts a new life in New York City and makes some quirky friends along the way. What she and her friends don't realize, however, is that their world is gradually being taken over by robots. Or, at least, this is the case according to a fan theory.

10 Spy Comedies That Are Sure to Make You Want to Be a Secret Agent
This past weekend I was finally able to sit down and watch 'The Man From U.N.C.L.E.', and I have to say I couldn't have been happier with my movie selection. As I was watching, I started thinking about all the other spy films that I've seen over the years, specifically all the comedic films in the spy/secret agent genre, and I thought I'd put together a little list of some of the best, because maybe you're looking for a good spy comedy to fill your evening.

Aren't We All Just a Little Minion at Heart?
In 1937, Walt Disney pioneered a path for animation to join the ever-growing collection of feature films to showcase in cinemas across the world. Since then there have been critical and commercial successes as well as those that have fallen flat and failed to meet expectations. Animation studios have come and gone, but if we limit our frame of reference to just the last 15 years we've seen some great films come from the titan studios like:

'The Big Bang Theory' Vs. 'The IT Crowd': Which Nerd Sitcom Is Better?
Here in the US, people are now embracing nerd culture all thanks to shows like The Big Bang Theory. In the UK, one can argue The IT Crowd (starring Chris O'Dowd and Richard Ayoade) did the same for them. Both comedy series have nerds and geeks at center stage, and both have become immensely popular. The It Crowd has even reached a loyal following in the US. The question is: Which geeky show is better? This can be analyzed by looking at the plots, characters, and humor of both shows.

Life Isn't So Bad Compared To Those On 'Shameless'
First of all let me state that I really didn't think I was going to like this show based off what I knew, which was that it was about a deadbeat, alcoholic father with a bunch of kids and that was it. I finally gave it a chance and it took watching the first two episodes and one shocking scene that got me hooked. I have now spent the past two weeks watching Shameless every day after I get home from work.

Silent Cinema: A Night of Laurel & Hardy
Growing up Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy were always staples in our home. When my mother was little she had spent hour after hour at her Aunty Jessie's watching old Laurel and Hardy films and developed a love for them, so naturally they were a huge part of me and my brother's life. There has always been something I have found oddly comforting about the two men on screen; whether it is Ollie's black bowler hat or the goofy look on Stan's face as he begins to sob, whenever I sit back and watch them the world instantly seems like a better place. Sadly their's is a kind of humour that you just don't see anymore so when I heard that The Festival Theatre was screening "A Night of Laurel & Hardy" with a live pianist accompaniment I jumped at the chance to buy tickets and organised a mother-daughter date.
