After the last episode of CHUCK, where our intrepid titular character (Zachary Levi) had the Intersect scrambled by his double crossing spy mother (Linda Hamilton), we get an episode focused on Chuck trying to get the Intersect back online. With “The Fear of Death,” CHUCK finds the show finding its comedic rhythm again and opening the story up even wider than before. The episode is aided by guest star Rob Riggle who plays the hilarious agent Jim Rye. He’s a master at psy-ops, and understands what it will take to repair Chuck’s Intersect in his brain (namely fear). However, everything […]Read On »

Robert Englund, aka Freddy Krueger himself, plays Dr. Stanley Wheelwright, the creator of toxin that creates waking nightmares in “Vs. The Aisle of Terror,” another great episode of the spy series CHUCK that adds a more beefed up role for Linda Hamilton as Chuck’s mom Mary and a return guest spot for Morgan Fairchild as Captain Awesome’s mom.

Let’s get back to the toxin first. Englund is a scientist who has created the toxin and wants to put it out on the open market. Mary who claims she is deep undercover as Frost, wants to meet up with Chuck so he can purchase the toxin for the C.I.A. and get it off the market.

Someone behind-the-scenes at CHUCK must have been paying attention to how much the quality control had been suffering the last couple of weeks and made some drastic changes that got the show back on track. With “Vs. The Couch” we get a Casey-centric episode which finally gives the under-utilized Adam Baldwin some cool stuff to do after being sidelined the last couple of weeks as his character had an “injury.”

In the new series BRILLIANT MINDS, premiering on NBC Monday, September 23, with episodes then available for streaming on Peacock, Zachary Quinto stars as cranky but gifted New York neurosurgeon Oliver Wolf. BRILLIANT MINDS creator/executive producer Michael Grassi explains that the show was originally entitled WOLF but, due to Quinto’s past genre work (HEROES, AMERICAN HORROR STORY, STAR TREK, NOS4A2), prospective viewers thought it might be a show about a werewolf. The name was briefly changed to DR. WOLF, but that just made people think “Werewolf doctor. That’s not us.” Grassi has a lot of genre credits himself, having been […]Read On »

DALILAND movie poster | ©2023 Magnolia Pictures

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Ben Kingsley, Barbara Sukowa, Christopher Briney, Rupert Graves, Alexander Beyer, Andreja Pejic, Suki Waterhouse, Ezra Miller, Avital Lvova, Mark McKenna, Zachary Nachbar-Seckel Writer: John C. Walsh Director: Mary Harron Distributor: Magnolia Pictures Release Date: June 9, 2023 Most of DALILAND is set in 1974, and the film has a very ‘70s pop feel. It’s glossy, fun to look at, and full of gossip, but also short on substance. This is not quite what we’d expect from a movie about the famous surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, played here by Ben Kingsley. A prologue and epilogue is set […]Read On »
