Greatest TV Pilots: Felicity
J.J. Abrams knows how to write a pilot, and it all started here with Felicity, the story of a girl who decides to chuck her dad’s life plan of Stanford and medical school, all in order to go to New York and make her own decisions. That’s right, before Hannah Horvath sat in a restaurant to be told she was getting cut off by her parents, Felicity Porter suffered the same fate, and was the original NYC gal trying on her own to become an artist—except dealing with it much younger, and much less nakedly (it’s perfectly quaint now to watch the scene where Felicity’s RA walks in on her on—oh my gosh—her nightgown!).

Matt Reeves talks ‘Cloverfield 2’
Matt Reeves has only made two feature films so far but in my opinion, they were both incredible.

Employing a pseudo-documentary handheld camera style, director Matt Reeves created a remarkable and […] More
