I'd rather have a Windy City Heat 2 but the The Hammer will have to suffice. | Photo courtesy of Hammer the Movie I've been a devoted fan of Adam Carolla since his early days on Loveline so don't expect any objectivity in my coverage of The Hammer. I've been waiting to see this movie since it played at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival and tomorrow it finally hits theaters. Even non-fans of the......

8:00pm Prison Break FOX - This is a show for teenage boys: enjoy the season premiere kids. 9:00pm Most Honorable Son PBS/KCET - Bio of the first Japanese-American war hero. 9:00pm K-Ville FOX - Series premiere. I much prefer Anthony Anderson as a villain (Antwon Mitchell from "The Shield") rather than a cop.

Grindhouse The week begins with a John Hayes double feature. In Grave of the Vampire, legendary vampire Kroft awakens and rapes a woman in a graveyard. The resulting child doesn't need milk. He needs… blood! This is paired with Jailbait Babysitter, which stars Therese Pare as a teenager who's turned out by an older prostitute (Lydia Wagner).

We expect everyone to be glamorous, exhilarated, appropriately humble, and fabulously ON. Since we're in LA, we know some winners already, even tho the local broadcast is......

A mid-season series on Oxygen didn't sound promising to us until we read the NY Times review that compared it — favorably! — to AbFab. Two 40-ish women leave their suburban lives and enroll as college freshmen. Cringeworthy at first, it gets increasingly debauched and insane, then mellows out to loopy — and cringeworthy again. The show's stars/creators, Christen Sussin (left) and Carrie Aisley, are veterans of LA's classic comedy hothouse the Groundlings. So......

With HBO's summer fare off the air, we've had a hole in our Sunday TV viewing. That all changes this Sunday when Larry David, Cheryl Hines and the rest of the wacky LA characters in their lives return for the 5th season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. To celebrate Larry's neurotic revival, we're giving away 3 copies of the complete season 4 DVD collection. All you've got to do is answer a question about one......
