Stars: Delroy Lindo, Billy Lush, Matt Lauria, Jennifer Beals, Jason Clarke, Devin Kelley and Todd Williams Writers:  Christal Henry Director: Michael Offer Network: Fox, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: April 19, 2011 Is anyone else out there realizing what a great show THE CHICAGO CODE is? Sure, we’ve been pounding the pavement proclaiming what a brilliant and entertaining show this is, but why is the praise so hard to come by with the rest of mainstream media? THE CHICAGO CODE, week after week, has proven to be a show that’s smart, well-written and engrossing. It doesn’t do things the easy […]Read On »

The Wedding Planner.” This is a chance to explore the backstory of Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) while also bringing her grifter father Jack Burton (Gary Cole) back into the picture for another guest appearance.

TV Review: CAMELOT – Season 1 – “Lady of the Lake”

Eva Green in CAMELOT - Season 1 - "Lady of the Lake" | ©2010 Ka Productins Ltd. / T5 Camelot Productions Inc.

Stars: Jamie Campbell Bower, Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Claire Forlani Writer: Louise Fox & Chris Chibnall Director: Jeremy Podeswa Network: Starz, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 15th, 2010 I had someone complaining to me this week that they wanted CAMELOT to be more like SPARTACUS and less like THE TUDORS. I took offense to that since I really enjoy the series, and find it to be a nice balance of action, plot, and character to keep me interested and to keep the story moving forward at a nice pace. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love SPARTACUS, but I […]Read On »

TV Review: THE BORGIAS – Season 1 – “The Moor”

Stars: Jeremy Irons, François Arnaud, Holliday Grainger, Colm Feore, David Oakes, Derek Jacobi, Joanne Whalley Writer: Neil Jordan Director: Simon Cellan Jones Network: Showtime, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: April 10th, 2010 THE BORGIAS got off to such a promising start with the two hour premiere on Showtime, that I was a little bit concerned where the series would go from there. So much history involving the world’s “first” crime family still has to be covered, but it just depends on how writer Neil Jordan decides to tackle it. The third episode, “The Moor” still adds more pieces to the […]Read On »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – Season 6 – “My Heart Will Go On”

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, Samantha Ferris Director: Philip Sgriccia Writer: Eric C. Charmelo Network: The CW, airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 One of the things that cracks me up about SUPERNATURAL is that it either panders to its hardcore audience (mostly females) or loves to rub their face in the stuff they love. This week in “My Heart Will Go On” it was the latter as the show took as many jabs at James Cameron’s TITANIC as possible including a nasty swipe at Celine Dion. You’d think after the blockbuster events of the […]Read On »

TV Review: FRINGE – Season 3 – “Lysergic Acid Diethlamide”

Bell and Walter race to save Olivia in FRINGE - Season 3 - "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" | ©2011 Fox

Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole Director: Joe Chappelle Writers: Jeff Pinkner, J.H. Wyman, Avika Goldman Network: Fox, airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 This was certainly an interesting episode of FRINGE. A tripping Peter (Joshua Jackson), a tripping Broyles (Lance Reddick), cartoons, the Twin Towers, a dead fat guy doing a dance in a tub of ice, zombies, animated birds flying and bubbles were just some of the highlights. Yeah, the comedy was fast and furious, but it did the job in progressing the whole William Bell trapped in Olivia’s (Anna Torv) body. […]Read On »

So Alaric (Matt Davis) is now possessed by Klaus which is a curious thing. He possesses all of Klaus’ powers like compelling powers over others including other vampires, and he seems to have some extra strength. On […]Read On »
