Stars: Gavin DeGraw, Donald Driver, Roshon Fegan, Melissa Gilbert, Katherine Jenkins, Gladys Knight, William Levy, Maria Menounos, Martina Navratilova, Sherri Shepard, Jack Wagner, Jaleel White Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: March 26th, 2012 And so the DANCING WITH THE STARS contenders break away from the pack. This week showed us just who has got what it takes and who does not. However, this isn’t rocket science here.  Most of those who did well last week, continued to do so this week and those who did just all right the first week, didn’t do so great the second week.

The last episode of season four aired in October of 2010, and the show JUST finally came back. Of course there was plenty of rumors as to what was going to happen when the series returned. The speculation alone of what […]Read On »

Thank goodness for Jason Segel – a self-professed Muppets fans who along with fellow screenwriter […]Read On »

Wyman Network: Fox, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: March 24, 2012 It’s time for more big revelations in the first FRINGE episode after a month long hiatus. “A Short Story About Love” shores up the relationship between Olivia (Anna Torv) and Peter (Joshua Jackson) in surprising (and not so surprising ways). The focal point of the investigative story is a man named Anson Carr (Michael Massee). His face is severely burned, yet he has the desire to be loved. […]Read On »

CD Review: THERE BE DRAGONS soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER
THERE BE DRAGONS soundtrack | ©2012 Varese Sarabande Records

It’s no easy task scoring a movie as singularly over the top, in that romantic 1930’s kind of way as Roland Joffe’s THERE BE DRAGONS, a film whose overly passionate intentions managed to turn the Spanish Civil War into a soap opera. Even an accomplished musician can slip from the dramatic into the maudlin when given this kind of florid scope to accompany, as could be heard in the over-emphatic score by the film’s original composer Stephen Warbeck during DRAGON‘s brief theatrical run last year. Thankfully, the producers’ commitment to salvage one aspect of the film afterward turns out to […]Read On »

CD Review: HAUNTED OR HUMORED soundtrack

HAUNTED OR HUMORED soundtrack | ©2012 Christopher Young

Few composers have been as diligent about getting their work out there as Christopher Young, whether his music accompanied blockbusters, unreleased indies, concert pieces, shorts, or scores that weren’t used at all. Based on dozens of albums and promos, Young has been one very busy man over the decades. Yet even his most obscure releases have shown the same dedication to quality and creativity, no matter the project’s music budget or studio politics. Now Young’s relentless musical drive has inspired his own record label to put these scores onto, beginning with the compilation HAUNTED OR HUMORED. As a composer whose […]Read On »

TV Review: THE VAMPIRE DIARIES – Season 3 – “1912”

By SEAN ELLIOTT
Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley in THE VAMPIRE DIARIES - Season 3 - "1912" | ©2012 The CW/Bob Mahoney

Stars: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder Writer: Julie Plec & Elisabeth Finch, Based on the book by L.J. Smith Director: John Behring  Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: March 15, 2012 THE VAMPIRE DIARIES has a habit of giving audiences slam bang endings when they take breaks, and really strong episodes to kick off the show when it returns. That is why the return from a break episode “1912” is so perplexing to me. It just wasn’t good. It was boring, and there was little or nothing going on besides a few minor revelations that really don’t […]Read On »
