Stars: Randy Jackson, Keith Urban, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Ryan Seacrest Network: Airs on Fox, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 pm Original Telecast: April 3, 2013 They finally are giving us something new on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL, in classic rock night. Finally, after slugging our way through yet another rotten Beatles night and other bad themes, this is something I think most everyone can get behind. But even though they could compress the show into one hour, we still have two hours of TV to sit through meaning lots of filler, which I will not be […]Read On »

Greenberg & Wendy Mericle Director: Nick Copus Network: The CW, airs Wednesday Nights Original Telecast: March 27, 2013 ARROW gets dark this week.  In the past ARROW had softened the edges around its rough premise, (a vigilante targets people whose names appear on a list and forces them to confess their assumed crimes to the authorities or face pointy, pointy death).  Usually this darkness was kept at bay by sprinkling in some comic […]Read On »

EMPEROR soundtrack | ©2013 Lakeshore Records

The weight of history can be as dramatic as it is romantic, a counterpoint explored in any number of classical films, and symphonically lush scores that have dealt with the West’s awakening to the war-torn East. Now, that majestic sound has been robustly picked up by British composer Alex Heffes for EMPEROR, the new film from director Peter Webber (“Girl with the Pearl Earing”) that contrasts General MacArthur’s postwar search for the guilt, or innocence of the country’s god-ruler Hirohito with a military investigator’s desperate quest to determine if his Japanese fiancé has survived his nation’s bombing of her motherland […]Read On »

The structure is certainly brave and director Derek Cianfrance, who wrote the screenplay with Ben Coccio and Darius Marder, has a gift for naturalism. Naturalism, however, isn’t the same […]Read On »
