CD Review: Christian Kane – THE HOUSE RULES

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN
Christian Kane - THE HOUSE RULES

Distributor: Bigger Picture Group/Outlaw Saints Music Suggested Retail Price: $13.99 Although THE HOUSE RULES is his first major label release, Christian Kane has been around a good while now as a singer/songwriter. Those familiar with his music via live performance and/or independently-produced earlier records can testify that he is consistently passionate, entertaining and smooth on the ears. Good news: THE HOUSE RULES adds big-league production value to the tracks without in any way diluting Kane’s essential sound or sense of fun. Produced by Bob Ezrin and Jimmie Lee Sloas, both of whom do double-duty as musicians on the album, THE […]Read On »

That’s where T-Bag figures in. “The character T-Bag breaks out of Fox River prison and our guys chase him,” confirms executive producer Nick Santora, but says don’t expect to see a PRISON […]Read On »

While speaking at the Winter TCA press tour in Pasadena, CA, MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE star Ray Romano spoke glibly about what his wife thinks of his new role. “Every time she sees me doing a kissing scene, she says, ‘this is bullsh*t, we have enough money,’” he says. On a more serious note, he says MEN OF A CERTAIN AGE, which returns in the summer, has both a strong female and male audience. “It’s not just a guy show,” says Romano. “The women are strong characters on the show too. The guys are real, so it’s not just […]Read On »

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN

The best films of 2010, in the opinion of this reviewer (who still has to catch up with THE FIGHTER, WINTER’S BONE and several other acclaimed releases): THE SOCIAL NETWORK Normally, people working with computers is one of the most boring things that can be put on screen. Director David Fincher, writer Aaron Sorkin and an across-the-board brilliant cast headed up by Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake leave the computers in the background and illustrate the dynamics of friendship and ambition in a way that is remarkably compelling and universal. The fact that the film is about the […]Read On »
