Rating: Not Rated Stars: Tommie-Amber Pirrie, Sara Allen, Celina Sinden, Munro Chambers, Chad James Connell, Patrick Garrow, Joey Coleman, Aaron Ashmore, Rossif Sutherland Writer: Alyson M. Richards Director: Pat Mills Distributor: Quiver Distribution Release Date: May 21, 2021 THE RETREAT is billed as a “lesbian slasher.” This needs some clarification. Lesbians aren’t initiating any slashing (this film is all about LGBTQ people as heroes, not villains); moreover, most horror fans won’t consider this a slasher in the regular sense. There’s a cabin in the woods, where couple Connor (Chad Connell) and Scott (Munro Chambers) are optimistically moving in. Their first […]Read On »

In Part Two of our exclusive interview with Syfy Channel’s WAREHOUSE 13 show runner Jack Kenny, he talks about writing for the actors and deepening the characters. ASSIGNMENT X: Is Agent Steve Jinks, played by Aaron Ashmore, getting a romantic relationship? JACK KENNY: He runs into his ex on a case. His ex is a U.S. Marshal and Charlie Weber plays him.

It doesn’t feel gay or straight – it’s just, they have relationship trouble the way anybody has relationship trouble, and they just play it out, and you go, “Oh, I wish they could make […]Read On »

In WAREHOUSE 13, a seemingly dull government facility in the middle of South Dakota contains an infinity of wonders within. This is the Warehouse, where powerful artifacts are stored. When an artifact is discovered to be missing or making mischief in the outside world, Warehouse agents Pete Latimer, played by Eddie McClintock, and Myka Bering, played by Joanne Kelly, are sent to retrieve them. On screen, the Warehouse is run by Artie Nielsen, played by Saul Rubinek, but behind the scenes, WAREHOUSE 13 is presided over by show runner Jack Kenny (creator of TITUS, writer/executive producer on CAROLINE IN THE […]Read On »

The title of THE FOLLOWING refers to the homicidal acolyte of brilliant serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy), who currently seems to be in dire straits, with his young son Joey (Kyle Catlett) taken away from him by the Feds, who are also close to storming his location. Former FBI profiler Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon) has been brought in to help with capturing Carroll – he did it before, after all. Hardy has his own good kind of follower, FBI Special Agent Mike Weston, played by Shawn Ashmore. Mike admires Ryan, even when he thinks the older lawman is being […]Read On »

Brian J. Smith and Allison Scagliotti in WAREHOUSE 13 - Season 4 - "Endless Wonder" | ©2012 Syfy/Ken Woroner

Stars: Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Genelle Williams, Allison Scagliotti, Aaron Ashmore, Jaime Murray, Ashley Williams, Kate Mulgrew, Alessandra Torresani Writer: Bob Goodman      Director: Michael McMurray   Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: Sept 10, 2012 “Endless Wonder” once again walks that line for me with WAREHOUSE 13, where I’m entertained, but I’m not entirely certain I’m loving what I’m seeing. Again there’s a lot of jokey kind of dumb humor back and forth between the characters, even though what they are facing is life threatening and very serious. Which this could be argued that the humor […]Read On »

Stars: Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Genelle Williams, Allison Scagliotti, Aaron Ashmore, Jaime Murray, Ashley Williams, Kate Mulgrew, Alessandra Torresani Writer: Benjamin Raab & Deric A. Hughes      Director: Chris Fisher Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: Aug 27, 2012 I like ALICE IN WONDERLAND in pretty much any form you can find it, from “The Looking Glass Wars” to Disney’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND to ultra violent video games; I’m always up for things Alice.  So I am pleased that WAREHOUSE 13 returns to the Alice Liddell (Niamh Wilson) storyline from a previous episode. She’s such a nice […]Read On »

In “No Pain, No Gain”, however, I have to say that the episode was well done, and all of the more comedic moments really work well and […]Read On »

TV Review: WAREHOUSE 13 – Season 4 – “There’s Always a Downside”

By SEAN ELLIOTT 08/28/2012

Stars: Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Genelle Williams, Allison Scagliotti, Aaron Ashmore, Jaime Murray, Ashley Williams, Kate Mulgrew, Alessandra Torresani Writer: Drew Z. Greenberg    Director: Constantine Makris Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: Aug 13, 2012 I have such conflicting emotions where WAREHOUSE 13 is concerned. I like the series for the most part, and now that we’re in the fourth season there is a style and rhythm all it’s own for this show. (and now you hear the ‘but’ coming) However, I’m just not sure what this series is trying to be. When it started out […]Read On »
