DVD: Hiya, Kids!! A '50s Saturday Morning Date Released: May 6th, 2008 Saturday mornings these days aren't what they used to be. "Hiya, Kids!!" is a compendium of 22 TV shows from the 1950s, several of them pioneering in their content matter and style.

I vaguely remember the '80s so the return of American Gladiator to the screen presents me with a nauseating wave of nostalgia that I want to boogie board to the fullest. Then again, I vaguely remember the '70s and the relaunch of the Bionic Woman left a lot to be desired. But hey, we live in America, and with enough boobies and violence, American Gladiator could have the required recipe for success. Friday 8:00pm Flash......

When Basic Instinct 2 and Flicka came out last year and flopped right out of the gate, it didn't scare Hollywood away from continuing to remake classic movies. Here are just a few remakes coming at you that will probably also avoid (with the year they're due to be released): The 39 Steps (2009) Adventures in Babysitting (2008) The Birds (2009) Conan the Barbarian (2008) Deathrace 3000 (2008) Escape from New York (2009) The......
