Ned is a humble pie maker. He spends his days doing normal pie-maker things like chopping fruit, making crusts, and waking murder victims to ask who killed them so that he can collect the rewards with his Pi partner Emerson Cod. The quiet life.
He is the proud (or often not-so-proud) owner of a magic finger, one that can bring a dead thing back to life with one touch and return it to corpse-hood with a second touch. If he happens to keep the dead thing alive for more than one minute, however, something else must die in its place. These are the rules. Small in number, but large in complexity. Don’t you love a show with a rulebook?
Ned goes around un-deading and re-deading people to his heart’s content until one day he brings back his childhood sweetheart, Charlotte “Chuck” Charles, and can’t bring himself to re-dead her,...

If there's one thing we learned from Thursday's (Feb. 16) episode of "The Big Bang Theory," it's to be careful of what you wish for because you just might get it. Also we learned that Sheldon (no surprise here) has no athletic talent whatsoever.
[Spoiler Alert]
Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and one of his many nemeses, Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie), both have their eyes on a recently-vacated corner office. It offers everything a CalTech scientist should probably fear: natural light and windows that open. But going against their instincts, each decide they must have it. With neither willing to back down, this ultimately means the two choose to compete for the office.
With Harvard alum Jeremy Lin showing his domination of the NBA, one might extrapolate that geniuses Sheldon and Barry could have some deftness on the basketball court too. Well, sadly, they do not. So when a one-on-one game goes nowhere, as...

Some movies simply demand repeat viewings, and a second watch often reveals new details you’d missed the first time. Here’s our pick of ten movies that deserve to be watched twice…
The vast majority of films produced are made purely for money, and this isn't really all that surprising when cash is still very much considered king in Hollywood. Nevertheless, every now and then a film comes out that commands your attention, engages your senses, and stays with you for quite sometime after it's finished.
Some call it art, others proclaim it the work of a genius and some, rather more simply, refer to it as a decent film. Either way, it doesn't really matter how you label them, one simple fact unites them all: some films are so good you have to see them at least twice, whether it's to understand the complexities of the plot, or...
