'The Last Man on Earth' represents the best in new television

By Jake Smasal and Lindsey Ramon | Mar. 20, 2015

Will Forte’s new sitcom, “The Last Man on Earth,” focuses on the new, post-apocalyptic life of Phil Miller, the last living man on Earth, as he attempts to survive and thrive in his new surroundings. It’s also one of the best new shows on television this spring. Will Forte is a comedic mastermind, and unhinging him to do all of the things we would do if we were trapped in the world alone is solid gold. However, it’s not just Forte that makes the show great; everything from setting to script conspires and aspires to make “The Last Man on Earth” worthy of praise.

Gibson piles on the gore in ‘Apocalypto’

By Joe Pudas and Lindsey Ramon | Dec. 10, 2006

After his DUI arrest and subsequent anti-Semitic rage this summer, Mel Gibson eclipsed Tom Cruise as America's preeminent crazy male celebrity. It's now impossible to discuss his movies, particularly everyone's favorite religious snuff film, ""The Passion of the Christ,"" without discussing the increasingly enigmatic man behind them, especially since his latest offerings have been so personal in nature. Gibson throws himself even further out there with ""Apocalypto,"" his much-ballyhooed epic set in 16th century Mayan civilization, and while the results are certainly not for everyone, it is a flawed but furiously entertaining adrenaline rush of a movie.
