In the second part of our two-part interview with BONES executive producer/creator Hart Hanson, who developed the series based on the mystery novels written by real-life forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, he talks about actors who direct, why he’s unlikely to use misleading semantics again and whether he has plans for a final episode. Fellow BONES executive producer Barry Josephson provides a story about Reichs’ visit to the set during the filming of the pilot episode. ASSIGNMENT X: David Boreanaz is directing more episodes. How does that work? Does he come in and say, “I’d like to direct one,” and you […]Read On »

TV Review: CAMELOT – Season 1 – “Lady of the Lake”

Eva Green in CAMELOT - Season 1 - "Lady of the Lake" | ©2010 Ka Productins Ltd. / T5 Camelot Productions Inc.

Stars: Jamie Campbell Bower, Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Claire Forlani Writer: Louise Fox & Chris Chibnall Director: Jeremy Podeswa Network: Starz, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 15th, 2010 I had someone complaining to me this week that they wanted CAMELOT to be more like SPARTACUS and less like THE TUDORS. I took offense to that since I really enjoy the series, and find it to be a nice balance of action, plot, and character to keep me interested and to keep the story moving forward at a nice pace. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love SPARTACUS, but I […]Read On »

TV Review: THE BORGIAS – Season 1 – “The Moor”

Stars: Jeremy Irons, François Arnaud, Holliday Grainger, Colm Feore, David Oakes, Derek Jacobi, Joanne Whalley Writer: Neil Jordan Director: Simon Cellan Jones Network: Showtime, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: April 10th, 2010 THE BORGIAS got off to such a promising start with the two hour premiere on Showtime, that I was a little bit concerned where the series would go from there. So much history involving the world’s “first” crime family still has to be covered, but it just depends on how writer Neil Jordan decides to tackle it. The third episode, “The Moor” still adds more pieces to the […]Read On »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – Season 6 – “My Heart Will Go On”

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, Samantha Ferris Director: Philip Sgriccia Writer: Eric C. Charmelo Network: The CW, airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 One of the things that cracks me up about SUPERNATURAL is that it either panders to its hardcore audience (mostly females) or loves to rub their face in the stuff they love. This week in “My Heart Will Go On” it was the latter as the show took as many jabs at James Cameron’s TITANIC as possible including a nasty swipe at Celine Dion. You’d think after the blockbuster events of the […]Read On »

TV Review: FRINGE – Season 3 – “Lysergic Acid Diethlamide”

Bell and Walter race to save Olivia in FRINGE - Season 3 - "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" | ©2011 Fox

Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole Director: Joe Chappelle Writers: Jeff Pinkner, J.H. Wyman, Avika Goldman Network: Fox, airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 This was certainly an interesting episode of FRINGE. A tripping Peter (Joshua Jackson), a tripping Broyles (Lance Reddick), cartoons, the Twin Towers, a dead fat guy doing a dance in a tub of ice, zombies, animated birds flying and bubbles were just some of the highlights. Yeah, the comedy was fast and furious, but it did the job in progressing the whole William Bell trapped in Olivia’s (Anna Torv) body. […]Read On »

So Alaric (Matt Davis) is now possessed by Klaus which is a curious thing. He possesses all of Klaus’ powers like compelling powers over others including other vampires, and he seems to have some extra strength. On […]Read On »

The Dork Side: Donald Trump is not running for president (we hope)

By SONIA MANSFIELD 04/17/2011

I don’t believe that Donald Trump is really running for president. If he was he would have already launched a reality show in which people compete to be his running mate. I think we can all agree that Gary Busey would totally win that one. Still, when people talk about Donald Trump running for president I cringe. Why? Because people are saying they would actually vote for him. Normally, something this ridiculous would make me laugh out loud like the time my friend tried to convince me that McDonald’s oatmeal is healthy – except I live in the state that […]Read On »

In HBO’s eagerly anticipated new series GAME OF THRONES (which debuts tonight), based on George R.R. Martin’s novels about the mythical land of Westeros, many clans vie for power in a medieval setting – the Lannister family is among the most dominant forces in the story. Peter Dinklage plays Tyrion Lannister, one of that bloodline’s complex scions. Dinklage talks with us about his adventures in Martin’s fantastical yet oh-so-human terrain. ASSIGNMENT X: Were you a fan of George R.R. Martin’s books before you become involved? PETER DINKLAGE: Yeah. I read the first one and I loved it, and that was […]Read On »
