Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole, Blair Brown Writers: Monica Owusu-Breen, Allsion Schapker Director: Thomas Yatsko Network: Fox, airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 29, 2011 Do you believe in fate? We’ve been given a lot of science and experiments on FRINGE but we finally have the first glimpse of fate playing a role on the show in “The Last Sam Weiss.” Olivia (Anna Torv) has a connection to the machine. Not just any connection, but a connection that will allow her to help Peter (Joshua Jackson) enter the machine to control it. And this has […]Read On »

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, Amber Benson Director: John Showalter Writers: Adam Glass Network: The CW, Airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 29, 2011 “Jefferson Starships … because they are horrible and hard to kill.” – Dean (Jensen Ackles) in SUPERNATURAL “Mommy Dearest” Dean had some great one-liners in “Mommy Dearest” on SUPERNATURAL this week. One of my other favorites was when he found out Castiel (Misha Collins) didn’t have any powers he said “Without your powers, you’re like a baby in a trench coat.” Hilarious. The Jefferson Starships line refers to Dean naming the hybrid creatures […]Read On »

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver Writers: Andrew Dabb, Daniel Loflin, Jackson Stewart Director: Guy Norman Bee Network: The CW, Airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 22, 2011 “You know what that is? Authenticity.” – Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) in SUPERNATURAL “Frontierland” I guess it was only a matter of time before we got an Old West version of SUPERNATURAL. Given we have had a monster movie episode, future timeline episodes, going into the ’70s and ’80s episodes and alternate universe episodes, the Old West was fair game. “Frontierland” focuses on Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) […]Read On »

DYLAN DOG - DEAD OF NIGHT movie poster | ©2011 Freestyle Releasing

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Brandon Routh, Anita Briem, Sam Huntington, Peter Stormare, Taye Diggs Writers: Thomas Dean Donnelly & Joshua Oppenheimer, based on the graphic novels created by Tiziano Sclavi Director: Kevin Munroe Distributor: Freestyle Releasing Release Date: April 29, 2011 There’s nothing really wrong with DYLAN DOG: DEAD OF NIGHT as far as it goes. Unfortunately, the movie is coming out after about five million TV series and several other film franchises with more or less the same premise. Once the initial specific memory wears off, viewers may find themselves trying to remind which episode of BUFFY featured Brandon Routh […]Read On »

TV Review: SMALLVILLE – Season 10 – “Dominion”

By DON E. PETERSON 04/30/2011
Callum Blue in SMALLVILLE - Season 10 - "Dominion" | ©2011 The CW/Jack Rowand

Starring: Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman Writer: John Chisholm Director: Justin Hartley Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 29, 2011 Sadly, SMALLVILLE’s recent winning streak of episodes as it heads to its series finale was disrupted by “Dominion.” What should have been a powerful episode, instead turns out lukewarm treading on territory we’ve seen countless times before in films like 300 and GLADIATOR. The idea is a cool one though as Clark (Tom Welling) and Oliver (Justin Hartley) travel to the Phantom Zone to find out why one of the Zoners had managed to […]Read On »

It has Vin Diesel returning. It has Dwayne Johnson joining the cast. It has Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson’s character beating the expletive deleted out of each other. It […]Read On »

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Michael Grant Terry, Iyal Podell Writer: Keith Foglesong Director: Francois Velle Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Airdate: April 28, 2011 On BONES, our heroine Temperance Brennan (Emily Deschanel) is known for speaking her mind. Indeed, by now, all of her friends expect this of her. However, they don’t always expect it of each other, much less themselves. “The Pinocchio in the Planter” takes a playful, in-character look at just how much honesty is a good thing vs. how much exceeds everyone’s comfort levels. The subject […]Read On »

AMERICAN IDOL recap: (Surprise) Casey Abrams is sent packing (again)

Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson Network: Fox, airs Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Airdate: April 28, 2011 I guess two times is not a charm on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL, because Casey Abrams, who was saved from elimination earlier in the season and thrived for a number of weeks, got the boot on the show in what is probably a surprise. Maybe it wasn’t a fluke the first time he got the lowest amount of votes. Maybe the IDOL voters are more fickle than I give them credit for. I thought he did pretty […]Read On »

TV Review: SOUTH PARK – Season 15 – “HUMANCENTiPAD” – Season Premiere

SOUTH PARK - Season 15 - "HUMANCENTiPAD" | ©2011 Comedy Central

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: April 27, 2011 It’s impossible to know where SOUTH PARK creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are going to go next. Each half season can go from brilliant to uninspired within a week’s time, but the joy of the show is the surprise and anticipation of what they’re going to skewer and spoof next. With their Season 15 premiere (yes, Season 15), they hijack the premise from the cult horror movie THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE and graft it on to the current technological innovations that Steve Jobs […]Read On »
