Rating: R Stars: Kelly McLaren, Courtney Foxworthy, Demetrius Sager, Caleb Courtney, Caleb Debattista, Darren Wayne Evans Writer: Scott Di Lalla Director: Scott Di Lalla Distributor: RLJ Entertainment Home Video Release Date: November 19, 2013 I AM ZOZO has one big plus going in for older horror films fans and/or fans of older horror films: unlike every other ultra-low-budget movie (horror and other) in what feels like forever, director/writer Scott Di Lalla decided to shoot his narrative feature debut on actual film. Yes, it’s Super 8mm, but it looks surprisingly good. Moreover, it has a look that harks back to the […]Read On »

Sheppard, Osric Chau, Alaina Huffman, Ashton Holmes, Tanya Clarke Writer: Robert Berens, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Rob Spera Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: November 12, 2013 SUPERNATURAL inches the seasonal arc forward with “Heaven Can’t Wait,” an episode that plants hints of what is to come. Mostly, “Heaven” is a mixture of comedy, with Castiel is now calling himself Steve and working diligently at a gas station convenience store, and mild angst, with Castiel still not knowing why Dean (Jensen Ackles) sent him away and […]Read On »

CD Review: THE MIRACLE WORKER (Limited Edition) soundtrack

Helen Keller remains the most famous special needs student in history, her struggle to the light after being looked at as being blind, deaf and dumb guided to the light by the miraculous efforts of her teacher Annie Sullivan. With Keller’s valiant lessons in living fully first detailed in her book, then seen on stage in William Gibson’s play, it was only natural that Hollywood would afford a completely sensory version of struggle with Arthur Penn’s Oscar-winning 1962 adaptation of THE MIRACLE WORKER. One of its biggest challenges was given to Laurence Rosenthal, who had to conjure the sound of […]Read On »

MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD, ABC Tuesday nights at 8 PM, deals with the team of non-superpowered folks who assist, investigate and otherwise deal with things pertaining to superheroes in the universe of THE AVENGERS. The series, created by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, brings back Agent Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg), somehow resurrected – we don’t know quite how yet, but it’s clear Coulson himself has been misled – after his death in AVENGERS as the team leader. Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) is the most experienced agent after Coulson, Ward (Brett Dalton) is muscle, Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and […]Read On »

Stars: Leah Remini, Corbin Bleu, Bill Engvall, Amber Riley, Jack Osbourne, Network: ABC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: Nov. 18th, 2013 Never before have fans carried a contestant quite like they are carrying Bill Engvall on DANCING WITH THE STARS. He has placed last nearly every single week in the last eight weeks and he has escaped elimination time and time again while higher scoring and more competent dancers have left the ballroom. At this point they should just give him the trophy, it seems to be what the people want! However, based on scores Amber Riley & Derek Hough are […]Read On »

CD Review: THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY (Limited Edition) soundtrack

THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY soundtrack | ©2013 Kritzerland

Sure Alfred Newman is known for towering, drama-filled epics like THE ROBE and HOW THE WEST WAS WON. But I have to confess that I’m even more game for the legendary composer’s far frothier stuff. It seems that Newman was just as prolific, if unsung with sweet, jazzy comedy, an effervescent touch for orchestra and brass that Kritzerland is finally giving a chance to shine with such confections as TAKE CARE OF MY LITTLE GIRL and THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH. Now THE PLEASURE OF HIS COMPANY is all ours for Newman’s 1961 score, whose wedding bells herald Fred Astaire’s arrival […]Read On »

CD Review: PLANES and TURBO soundtracks

PLANES soundtrack | ©2013 Walt Disney Records

Mark Mancina has a long history of scoring talking animals for The Mouse House, from his arrangements on Hans Zimmer’s THE LION KING to his own adventurous score to TARZAN and BROTHER BEAR. However, his new, exhilarating work for a little plane that could flies far more in the spirit of TOP GUN and REMEMBER THE TITANS than a reincarnated bruin. With noble trumpets, rock-military rhythm, a rousing chorus and a sweepingly courageous orchestra, one might easily expect the underdog team entering a Midwestern stadium for the big game they somehow made it to. It’s a propulsive, flesh and blood […]Read On »

CD Review: THE GRANDMASTER soundtrack

THE GRANDMASTER soundtrack | ©2013 Lakeshore Records

If anything, Wong Kar-Wai’s movies are about the lack of movement, an overrated auteur reputation built on languid pacing and dreamily unreadable characters. All of this makes his choice to make a high-kicking Ip Man picture all the more surprising, and for once interesting. As expected, THE GRANDMASTER comes across as the artsiest Hong Kong chopsocky movie ever made, a stunning visual poetry that often beats down the always-spectacular action choreography by MATRIX master Yuen Woo-Ping. That leaves two musical martial artists named Shigeru Umebayashi and Nathaniel Mechaly to really do the heavy lifting when it comes to conveying physical […]Read On »
