Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly C. Quinn, Jon Huertas, Seamus Dever, Tamala Jones Writer: Elizabeth Davis Director: David Barrett Network: ABC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: March 21, 2011 After nearly dying in each other’s arms twice in the CASTLE two-parter where we last left author Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion) and homicide cop Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), this episode is back to business as usual, but in the good kind of way. It’s got the charm, some of the silliness and the warmth that make this whodunit so engaging. In “One Life to Lose,” the head writer […]Read On »

A drug kingpin is caught by the police who soon discover the reason he had a bag full of cash was to pay a ransom on his 7-year old son who was kidnapped. From […]Read On »

Those who were expected to wow us – Sugar Ray Leonard – only mildly amused us and those who were expected to flail and flop on the dance floor – Kirstie Alley – came out fighting! Who would have thought the “original” Karate Kid Ralph Macchio had such showmanship and grace? Macchio leads the pack […]Read On »

TV Review: FRINGE – Season 3 – “Stowaway”

Anna Torv in FRINGE - Season 3- "Stowaway" | ©2011 Fox/Liane Hentscher

Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole Writers: Danielle Dispaltro from a story by J.H. Wyman, Jeff Pinkner and Akiva Goldsman Director: Charles Beeson Network: Fox, airs Fridays Original Telecast: March 18, 2011 “Stowaway” was certainly a bi-polar episode of FRINGE. On one hand we had the invasion of William Bell into the body of Olivia (Anna Torv), where we had epic reactions from Peter (Joshua Jackson), who of course is in love with her and in a relationship, and a number of buddy comedy moments with Walter (John Noble). On the other hand, we had […]Read On »

Movie Review: PAUL

PAUL movie poster | ©2011 Universal Pictures

Stars: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Seth Rogen, Jason Bateman, Sigourney Weaver, Bill Hader, Kristen Wigg Writers: Simon Pegg & Nick Frost Director: Greg Mottola Distributor: Universal Release Date: March 17, 2010 It’s rare a comedy comes around that’s as delightfully original and laugh-out loud funny as PAUL. Written by Nick Frost and Simon Pegg (who have previously teamed up as actors in SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ), it’s a very meta-take on what would happen if two geeky nubs came across an actual alien while traveling cross-country in America. In this case, those nubs are English – Graeme […]Read On »

Movie Review: LIMITLESS

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN
LIMITLESS poster | ©2011 Relativity

Rating: R Stars: Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, Robert De Niro, Anna Friel, Andrew Howard, Johnny Whitworth Writer: Leslie Dixon, based on the novel THE DARK FIELDS by Alan Glynn Director: Neil Burger Distributor: Relativity Release Date: March 18, 2011 There are (and will continue to be) a lot of science fiction thrillers that desperately want to be smart and snappy. LIMITLESS is the movie that those are trying to be. There is only one genre twist here, but it informs pretty much everything else that happens, which gives the movie a sound foundation. What makes LIMITLESS work so well, though, […]Read On »

THE LINCOLN LAWYER movie poster | ©2011 Lionsgate

Rating: R Stars: Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, Josh Lucas, John Leguizamo, Michael Pena, Bob Gunton, Frances Fisher, Bryan Cranston, William H. Macy Writer: John Romano, based on the novel by Michael Connelly Director: Brad Furman Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: March 18, 2011 THE LINCOLN LAWYER, adapted from L.A. noir mystery master Michael Connelly’s novel, comes to the screen as a thoroughly enjoyable courtroom drama, with plenty of twists and fake-outs. Although the movie doesn’t get maximum mileage out of the central notion that its protagonist uses the inside of his Lincoln Continental as his law office, director Brad […]Read On »

Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Michael Grant Terry Writer: Karine Rosenthal Director: David Boreanaz Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Airdate: March 17, 2011 BONES often goes back and forth between humor and drama, crime-solving and personal issues, and relationship progress and reversals. In “The Blackout in the Blizzard,” which is almost a bottle episode – there is one scene in an alley – couples get a little closer while everybody has to figure out how to get things done in the middle of a blizzard-induced power outage. While Booth (David […]Read On »

Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson Network: Fox, airs Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Telecast: March 18, 2011 An hour is way too long for these results shows on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL. This is nothing new, I’ve been saying it for years, but just to prove a point instead of just giving us a half hour where the results are distributed and maybe we have one performance, we have all of this crap that was given last night during the results show: A bad medley. An even worse Ford car commercial. A recap of […]Read On »
