WEST WING creator Aaron Sorkin presents a revealing and very funny look at the backstage workings of a late-night comedy sketch show in STUDIO 60 ON THE SUNSET STRIP. The show (which is named STUDIO 60) is plummeting in the ratings and it looks like the network, NBS, might be about to axe it. In a last ditch attempt to revive STUDIO 60's fortunes, two new writers, Matt Albie (Matthew Perry) and Danny Tripp (Bradley Whitford), are brought on board by the network's new president, Jordan McDeere (Amanda Peet). Everyone involved with the show seems to be suffering from an impending sense of doom, but they have to pull together to get the show ready for its weekly Friday night time slot, providing plenty of laughs in the process. This release includes every episode from the show.

Yes, the writer is an extreme talent with The West Wing under his belt. However, having now been clearly writing for so long he's caught up in the Hollywood world of producers, writers and ratings. While I love good TV drama, I don't give a damn about the shallow, selfish, self-obsessed people this series is based on. And while I love comedy, I think I literally only laughed once (I hasten to point out as an educated man it didn't go over my head - it just wasn't funny). Can't quite believe people are giving it 5 stars.
Mulder and Scully have one less mystery to worry about - the new X-Files movie has been given its official title, according to reports. The tinseltown newshounds at Variety say Twentieth Century Fox has revealed that the new flick, which comes ten years after the first big screen adaptation of the hit TV series, will be called The X Files: I Want To Believe. Sci-fi dream team David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson have both been recruited to reprise their roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana... Read more
