Stars: David Arquette, Nancy Grace, Robert Kardashian, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: Nov. 1st, 2011 Who would of thought that Nancy Grace had more fans than David Arquette? But, alas, it is true. David Arquette and his partner Kym Johnson are the latest casualties on DANCING WITH THE STARS. Arquette lasted seven weeks and placed sixth in the competition overall. He leaves behind Ricki Lake & Derek Hough, Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy, J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff, Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke, and yes, Nancy Grace & Tristan Macmanus. The results […]Read On »

Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer: Terence Paul Winter Director: Bryan Spicer Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: October 31, 2011 Those CASTLE fans looking for the usual light-hearted banter, witty repartee and twists and turns aren’t going to like this episode. Because this one is the other side of the series featuring crime fiction author Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and his real-life muse Detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) solving crimes together. The show has always featured some heavier, more dramatic episodes – it has to, it would […]Read On »

Cast: Jason O’Mara, Christine Adams, Byron Brockmann, Shelly Conn, Stephan Lang, Simone Kessell, Landon Liborion, Allison Miller Director: Nelson McCormick Writers: Paul Grellong Network: Airs on Fox, Mondays @ 8pm Original Telecast: Oct. 31, 201 Adultery and crimes of passion … is this really what TERRA NOVA should be focusing on five episodes into its 13 episode run in the first season? I don’t think so as the show has already struggled with finding its core mythology and sustaining entertaining ideas and storylines in the first few episodes. Instead shouldn’t we be learning more about why the Sixxers are banished […]Read On »

Lee, David Zayas, James Remar, Aimee Garcia, Edward James Olmos, Colin Hanks, Mos, Billy Brown, Mariana Klaveno Writer: Scott Reynolds Director: CJ Clarkson Network: Showtime, Sundays @ 9 PM Release Date: October 30, 2011 Poor Dexter just can’t keep a friend. Either they turn out to be substantially more messed up than him (the characters played by Christian Camargo, Jaime Murray and Jimmy Smits in, respectively, Seasons 1, 2 & 3) and he has to kill them, they stop being messed up and leave (Julia Stiles’ Lumen in Season 5) […]Read On »

Stars: David Arquette, Nancy Grace, Robert Kardashian, Ricki Lake, J.R. Martinez, Hope Solo Network: ABC, airs Mondays, Tuesdays Original Telecast: October 31, 2011 It was a spooky night on DANCING WITH THE STARS. Point in case, J. R. Martinez, because of a so-so group dance, is in 4th place out of 6 couples! Say it ain’t so…oh, it is so. Team Paso (Rob Kardashian & Cheryl Burke, Hope Solo & Maks Chmerkovskiy, Ricki Lake & Derek Hough) kicked Team Tango’s (J.R. Martinez & Karina Smirnoff, David Arquette & Kym Johnson, Nancy Grace & Tristan Macmanus) butt! The couples had one […]Read On »

In tonight’s episode “The Thing You Love Most”, as Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) and Regina (Lana Parilla) go head to […]Read On »

Blu-Ray Review: ZOMBIE – 2-DISC ULTIMATE EDITION

ZOMBIE - ULTIMATE EDITION | © 2011 Blue Underground

Rating: Unrated Stars: Tisa Farrow, Ian McCulloch, Richard Johnson, Al Oliver, Auretta Gay, Olga Karalatos Writer: Elisa Briganti Director: Lucio Fulci Suggested Retail Price: $39.98 For being such a big horror fan, I have to admit I came a little late to the party in my appreciation of Italian horror master director Lucio Fulci. I knew of his movies, seen pieces of them, but never really sat down to fully embrace the filmmaker’s offbeat sensibilities and knack for unrelentingly disturbing gore. When it came to Fulci’s 1980 ZOMBIE, it was one of those films I completely overlooked it. In fact, […]Read On »

Showalter Network: The CW, Fridays @ 9 PM Original Telecast: October 28, 2011   SUPERNATURAL has done some crazy things in its time, but would an episode called “Slash Fiction” really be about what the title implies? For those unfamiliar with the term, “slash fiction” refers to fiction written by fans about a particular TV series or film or book, with the specific premise of that fiction in getting two […]Read On »

CD Review: THE THING (1982) soundtrack

THE THING soundtrack | ©2011 Buysoundtrax Records

No, we’re not talking about a stillborn prequel here, but the one and only. Jack-of-all-trades filmmaker John Carpenter had served as a writer-director-composer on all of his films until his first studio production of THE THING. It was a bigger budget that allowed Carpenter to get his composing idol Ennio Morricone to provide the director with his first “real” orchestral score. That didn’t mean that Carpenter and his “in association” collaborator Alan Howarth wouldn’t give THE THING’s soundtrack more teeth by sweetening it with the icily sharp electronics that marked the auteur’s distinctive brand of horror. The result was a […]Read On »
