However, in “Truth,” both Ryan (Elijah Wood) and his girlfriend Amanda (Allison Mack) wind up miserable, and the situation is played for drama rather than laughs. In bed, Ryan confesses to Amanda that he loves her, while Wilfred shows up in […]Read On »

Stars:  Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn Writer: George Mastras Director: George Mastras Network: AMC, airs Sunday Nights Original Telecast: August 12, 2012 “Dead Freight” is BREAKING BAD’s most plot-heavy episode this season, as it details Walt, (Bryan Cranston), Jesse, (Aaron Paul), and Mike’s (Jonathan Banks’s) complicated plan to heist methylamine from a freight train to support their burgeoning drug business.  Despite a shocking climax, however, the episode’s focus on exposition related to heist-planning leaves “Dead Freight” without the emotional punch of previous episodes.  Still, the build-up to the heist is entertaining, and having the absolute certain knowledge that the […]Read On »

HELL ON WHEELS - Season 2 Key Art | ©2012 AMC

With “Viva La Mexico,” HELL ON WHEELS makes its end of summer return. This gritty and entertaining Western series is a great filler for the void left in anybody’s life by Deadwood. The langue isn’t as rough as Deadwood, but the production value, writing, and characters are engaging. I’m not a huge fan of westerns in particular, […]Read On »

I think that’s the biggest revelation of “An Evil Within”  is that Claudia (Allison Scagliotti) with the help of […]Read On »

CD Review: ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 / DARK STAR soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER
ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 soundtrack | ©2012 Buysoundtrax Records

Buysoundtrax has had varied luck when re-performing cult score favorites, especially ones done with then state-of-the-art keyboards like THE BOUNTY  and LEGEND. So if you’re attempting to replicate such a distinctive sound, who better to get then a composer who helped create an unrepeatable sound in the first place? That’s the reason why Alan Howarth, the musician best know for being “in association” with John Carpenter on such genre favorites as HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH and PRINCE OF DARKNESS (the real deals of which are available through Buysoundtrax’s site on Howarth’s AHI label) has had the best success […]Read On »
