Stars: Matt Passmore, Carlos Gomez, Kiele Sanchez, Jordan Wall, Michelle Hurd Writer: Tom Garrigus Director: Jeff Bleckner Network: A&E, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: June 3, 2012 CBS and USA have set the bar and template for the police procedural. CBS plays it straight, for the most part, while USA has a little fun with it. And A&E has found a nice middle ground with their Florida-set series THE GLADES, now entering its third season. There’s something familiar, fluffy and a bit routine about THE GLADES. It has a great cast with Matt Passmore serving as the anchor of the […]Read On »

Fox and found a way to make it the coolest high school monster show this side of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Season […]Read On »

Movie Review: SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

Stars: Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin Writers: Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock, Hossein Amini Director: Rupert Sanders Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: June 1, 2012 After Julia Roberts tore through scenery in the campy MIRROR, MIRROR early this year, prospects for the second big studio reboot of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale certainly didn’t look promising. However, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN has just the right amount of reinvention and visual panache, that it turns out to be a pretty decent movie. The story is way too familiar, which is one of its big drawbacks, but director […]Read On »

TV Review: TOUCH – Season 1 Finale – “Gyre” – Pt. 1 and 2

Stars: Kiefer Sutherland, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David Mazouz Writer: Part 1: Teleplay by Carol Barbee & Robert Levine, Story by Jonathan I. Kidd and Sonya Wilson; Part 2: Tim Kring and Rob Fresco Director: Part 1: Nelson McCormick; Part 2: Greg Beeman Network: Fox, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: May 31, 2012 The thing about TOUCH is that you get the feeling that this is the show HEROES could have been if Tim Kring (and/or his writers) hadn’t hooked into their darker sides. There’s a dark side to this show, what with the big, bad conspiracy by Aster Corps. to use Jake for its own purposes […]Read On »

DVD Review: THE RIVER – THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

THE RIVER - THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON | ©2012 ABC Studios

Stars: Bruce Greenwood, Joe Anderson, Leslie Hope, Eloise Mumford, Paul Blackthorne, Thomas Kretschmann, Daniel Zacapa, Shaun Parkes, Paulina Gaitan, Jeff Galfer Distributor: Buena Vista Home Entertainment Suggested Retail Price: $29.99 Release Date: May 22, 2012 ABC took a big chance on the found footage series THE RIVER. With only eight episodes, it was a perfect amount of time to create a mythology and tell a story without too much filler. Of course, the format didn’t hook audiences, but I suspect that had more to do with the need to see the whole series in one big eight-hour chunk. Now, THE […]Read On »

Cast: Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Nettles, John Legend, Robin Thicke Network: ABC, Thursday nights Original Telecast: June 1, 2012 In week two of ABC’s singing reality show DUETS, which pits four pros with eight amateurs for weekly duets and the chance to win a recording contract, we’re treated to more of the same which marred last week’s uneven debut. With Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Nettles (of Sugarland), John Legend and Robin Thicke – there are some great pros that are nurturing the talent. The problem still remains is the voting system. The judges give points for performance and presentation which places people […]Read On »

Joey Ramone - ...YA KNOW? | ©2012 BMG

Distributor: BMG Suggested Retail Price: $9.90 When Joey Ramone, the frontman of the groundbreaking punk pop band Ramones passed away in 2001, 11 unreleased songs found their way on the posthumous release DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME. While the songs weren’t as perfect as his days with the Ramones, they still were fun little ditties and allowed us to mourn, through music, the legacy Joey Ramone left behind. Now, almost eleven years after his death, his second posthumous release is here. Titled …YA KNOW? (because Ramone always ended his sentences with those two words), the tracks consist of demos and other […]Read On »
