SNL Scorecard: Were Three Mark Zuckerbergs a Charm?

Posted on January 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

A “cocky” Jesse Eisenberg hosted last night’s edition of Saturday Night Live , though his performance was a bit lost in the excitement from the worst kept secret of the week: The actor’s first (OK, maybe second, considering that they most likely caught up during dress rehearsal) face-to-face meeting with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, whom Eisenberg portrayed in The Social Network . But, stunt cameos aside, how did the recent Oscar nominee fare?

SNL Scorecard: Did Jim Carrey Save a Lackluster Show?

Posted on January 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

There was something odd about last night’s Jim Carrey-hosted installment of SNL . Between the promos featuring Carrey hitting on Kristen Wiig, his monologue proposal and the good-nights where Carrey emotionally thanked pretty much the entire world, it felt like the episode might have been one big Jim Carrey therapy session. The last time Carrey hosted, May 18, 1996, Carrey wasn’t too far removed from being the guy walking down the street wearing an oversized cowboy hat looking for a copy of the Rhode Island Slut . Now, we have a more mature, certainly a more damaged Carrey hosting for a second time — complicated by hosting on, well, a day that, due to current events, people did not find particularly funny. How did he do? On to the scorecard…

Who Scored Big in Week Ten of SNL’s Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player Relevancy Poll?

Posted on December 20, 2010 by | Comments Off on Who Scored Big in Week Ten of SNL’s Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player Relevancy Poll?

So… is it safe to talk about SNL again? While I was trying to get as much sleep as possible in the foxhole that I embedded myself in last night , I got the feeling that a few of you were not quite as happy with Saturday night’s show as I seemed to be. But here’s the thing: In the scorecard I did mention that (the now polarizing) Jeff Bridges was far from the best host of the season and that Saturday was also not the laugh-out-loud funniest show of the season. I’ll admit, perhaps this is a flaw with the scoring system used, but what the Bridges installment had was a plethora of sketches that received a score between six and seven. Bridges had eight “good” sketches and only four “bad.” Put it this way: if every sketch had been given a score of 6.5, it would be the top rated show of the season. Having said all of that, I still very much liked Saturday’s installment. OK, let’s get to the poll.

SNL Scorecard: Did Jeff Bridges Host the Best Show of the Year, Son?

Posted on December 19, 2010 by | Comments Off on SNL Scorecard: Did Jeff Bridges Host the Best Show of the Year, Son?

Perhaps I’m in the holiday spirit (maybe), perhaps it’s the amount of wine consumed from back-to-back holiday parties (more likely), but last night’s Jeff Bridges-hosted installment of Saturday Night Live was, well, quite great. Not the laugh-out-loud funniest show of the season, but, from top to bottom, there wasn’t a whole lot of “bad.” I mean, it was so good that the best sketch of the night was the third to last of the show. Bridges, who last co-hosted in 1983 with his brother Beau, did an admirable job as host but, more importantly, did an admirable job of not getting in the way of a cast that was obviously on a mission before they took a break for the holidays.

Saturday Night Live Scorecard: Was Paul Rudd Once Again Overshadowed by His Musical Guest?

Posted on December 12, 2010 by | Comments Off on Saturday Night Live Scorecard: Was Paul Rudd Once Again Overshadowed by His Musical Guest?

Poor Paul Rudd. Last time he hosted SNL , his performance was overshadowed by musical guest Beyoncé (and her “Single Ladies” sketch with Justin Timberlake). This time Rudd had to compete with a Beatle. After a very slow start, the Paul Rudd-hosted edition of SNL recovered into one of the most memorable but wildly unbalanced episodes of the season. Let’s be clear: Rudd did a fine job, but this was Paul McCartney’s episode. Not only did McCartney appear in three different sketches, the former Beatle got four — four! — musical segments: Performing “Jet,” “Band on the Run,” a “Day in the Life”/”Give Peace a Chance” hybrid and “Get Back.” So, how was the rest of the show that didn’t involve McCartney singing? On to the scorecard!

Jake Gyllenhaal Turns On, Tunes In, And Explodes In The New Trailer For Source Code

Posted on November 21, 2010 by | Comments Off on Jake Gyllenhaal Turns On, Tunes In, And Explodes In The New Trailer For Source Code

For those of you who just can’t get enough train-related shenanigans but are sad that Unstoppable has come and gone, Jake Gyllenhaal is ready to pick you up at the station with his new thriller Source Code . Bad news, though: there’s a bomb aboard the train and it’s going to explode. Repeatedly. It’s like Groundhog’s Day , if every day ended with bits of Andi McDowell’s charred remains flying all over Chicago.

Well That Was Quick: Malin Ackerman Replaces Lohan As Porno Queen Linda Lovelace

Posted on November 21, 2010 by | Comments Off on Well That Was Quick: Malin Ackerman Replaces Lohan As Porno Queen Linda Lovelace

A man of his word , director Matthew Wilder announced on his Facebook page that Malin Ackerman would step in for the beleaguered and be-rehabbed Lindsay Lohan in his Linda Lovelace biopic, Inferno . You might recognize her from parts in Couples Retreat , 27 Dresses , or as Silk Spectre II in the Watchmen . Based solely on her very realistic hip-pumping in the Owlship love scene, I can only conclude that Ackerman is gonna do great as the star of Deep Throat .[ TheWrap ]

Made in Dagenham’s Andrea Riseborough on Her Oscar-Season Trifecta

Posted on November 16, 2010 by | Comments Off on Made in Dagenham’s Andrea Riseborough on Her Oscar-Season Trifecta

When it rains, it pours for some young actors. Take Jessica Chastain or Gemma Arterton , who’ve spoken here recently about the flukes of scheduling that have made 2010 the busiest years of their lives. Or take Andrea Riseborough, the 29-year-old British actress who brought not one, not two, but three prestige films to this year’s Toronto Film Festival — including this week’s Made in Dagenham and breakthrough-level work opposite Sam Riley in Brighton Rock .

Who Scored Big in Week Six of SNL’s Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player Relevancy Poll?

Posted on November 16, 2010 by | Comments Off on Who Scored Big in Week Six of SNL’s Not-Ready-for-Prime-Time-Player Relevancy Poll?

OK, I’ve calmed down a bit since yesterday’s scorecard . Yes, I still thought Saturday night was a train wreck (literally! Boom!) but I’ve almost been waiting for a show to come along that was so bad it would completely upend the relevancy poll. That show was this week. No more, “well, Jay Pharoah was good but he’s too underused to be number one.” Poppycock! Pharoah’s talent (and Taran Killam to a point) really shined this week when set against a backdrop that’s mostly made of sorrow. Welcome your new SNL Overlord, Jay Pharoah.
