CHICAGO – Don’t tune in to the premiere of NBC’s “The Event” expecting answers to that oppressively-advertised question of what the title refers to, although the producers have made clear that it won’t be long before we know.

CHICAGO – “The Event,” which is one of the fall’s most highly anticipated TV shows, last week was named HollywoodChicago.com’s most promising new TV show of fall 2010 beating nine other worthy rivals.

CHICAGO – How desperate are you for laughs? If you rent all the straight-to-video comedies that come down the line, then “Fired Up” may have enough lines that hit the funny bone to warrant a rental. It’s certainly not as unbearable as some theatrical junk like “Disaster Movie” or “White Chicks,” but that’s doesn’t mean it’s worth your time.

CHICAGO – In our latest edition of HollywoodChicago.com Hookup: Film, we have 75 admit-two passes up for grabs to the Chicago screening of “Fired Up,” which stars Nicholas D’Agosto, Eric Christian Olsen, Sarah Roemer, AnnaLynne McCord (who auditioned for the “Twilight” sequel “New Moon”) and Molly Sims.
