Movie Mayhem – The November Man
For a long time, August was Hollywood’s dumping ground for mediocre to outright crappy movies that didn’t fit properly enough into any other season’s structure. They weren’t spectacular enough for summer, they weren’t high-caliber (aka Oscar-worthy) enough for fall, and they weren’t fun enough for spring. These were movies whose execution (whether in writing, direction, […]

Chaos Television Awards 2014 – Part 3
Read Part One and Part Two of the 2014 Chaos Television Awards Revitalization Award: Once Upon A Time A lot of shows go through what is known as the sophomore slump — their first season was so good, that it is almost impossible for the second season to live up to the expectations, and on […]

Chaos Television Awards 2014 – Part 2
Read Part 1 of the 2014 Chaos Television Awards. Series that should have been better: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was the show I was most excited about this past season. Because of how well-made the films all are (and how well-crafted all of DC’s television programs have been), I thought the […]

The Emmy’s are just a few minutes away, which means it’s time for Chaos breeds Chaos to give out its annual awards for the best and worst of the 2013-2014 televisions season.

Movie Mayhem – When the Game Stands Tall
As with any long-running streak, whether good or bad, the run must always come to an end. It’s inevitable; nothing lasts forever. What matters most, both during and after a lengthy streak, is in how you deal with the effects of that streak and what values can be learned from having participated, either as a […]

Movie Mayhem — Let’s Be Cops
Fish out of water stories go back for centuries, continuously putting characters in situations that they are unfamiliar — and in most cases, uncomfortable — with. They have an inherent capacity for both comedic gold and dramatic tension by opening a character’s eyes to who they really are deep down and giving them a chance […]

Teach a Man To Fish…
This blog post is actually a few days late — I wanted to post this on Monday — but I had to play major catch-up early this week and I had a long day of networking yesterday, so the post got relegated to the back-back burner. But now that I’ve got caught up on a […]

Carpe Diem – RIP Robin Williams
One of the categories I have on this blogs television awards is the award for a show that’s gone too soon. This year, I was going to give that award to The Crazy Ones, and now there’s an even bigger reason to honor that show with such an accolade, as of around noon today, prolific […]

Movie Mayhem — Into the Storm
When I first saw the teaser trailer for Into the Storm, my very first thought after it ended was, “Only on Syfy.” With people flying into “the suck zone” (and holding onto others right next to them who aren’t), planes getting tossed around the tarmac of an airport, and a tornado getting lit on fire, […]
