Rating: R Stars: Beau Mirchoff, Ron Perlman, Giancarlo Esposito, Corey Lange, Titus Welliver, Halston Sage, Ron Eldard, Michael Eklund, Kieran Lange Writer: Greg Francis Director: Greg Francis Distributor: XLerator Media Release Date: theatrical, VOD & iTunes December 5, 2014 POKER NIGHT straddles several genres, two of which are so seldom paired that this aspect is a pleasure – the cop film and the anthology film. Not that POKER NIGHT is a straight anthology; in fact, here the framing device is the main story, with a number of vignettes spicing it up and making good use of the supporting cast. Another […]Read On »

In ONCE UPON A TIME IN WONDERLAND, ABC Thursdays at 8 PM, Sophie Lowe’s character Alice and Peter Gadiot’s character Cyrus, the Genie of the Lamp, are in love. They’re also on the run from both the Red Queen (Emma Rigby) and ALADDIN’s magician Jafar (Naveen Andrews). While WONDERLAND very likely marks the first time Alice and the Genie have been a couple, it turns out this isn’t the first time English actor Gadiot [pronounced “Gad-ee-oh”) has had a go-round with ALADDIN material. At a party thrown by ABC for the Television Critics Association, Gadiot explains how it is he […]Read On »

Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Elizabeth Mitchell, Zak Orth, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito, Stephen Collins Writer: Anne Cofell Saunders, Matt Pitts Director: Omar Madha Network: Airs on NBC, Wednesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Nov. 6, 2013 One question I found myself asking during the latest episode of REVOLUTION, entitled “The Patriot Act,” was why hasn’t Miles’ (Billy Burke) hand healed at this point? Everyone else that has had injuries have made remarkable recoveries. Rachel (Elizabeth Mitchell) had both a broken thumb and an arrow to the shoulder and shows no ill will from it. That chick that has been […]Read On »

Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Zak Orth, Elizabeth Mitchell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito, Stephen Collins Writer: Paul Grellong Director: Steve Boyum Network: Airs on NBC, Wednesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Oct. 30, 2013 There were times during REVOLUTION’s latest episode, “Dead Man Walking,” that I had a familiar feeling that the show was once-again delving back into the old format of the eternal battle of a group of rebels taking up arms against a more powerful entity. That same formula that dragged down the show big time in the first season. However, the whole aspect of Monroe (David Lyons) finally […]Read On »

TV Review: REVOLUTION – SEASON 2 – “One Riot, One Ranger”

ak Orth as Aaron Pittman, Elizabeth Mitchell as Rachel Matheson in REVOLUTION "One Riot, One Ranger" | (c) 2013 Felicia Graham/NBC

Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Zak Orth, Elizabeth Mitchell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito, Stephen Collins Writer: David Rambo, Ben Englund Director: Frederick E. G. Toye Network: Airs on NBC, Wednesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Oct. 23, 2013 The role of Monroe (David Lyons) on the second season of REVOLUTION is an interesting one. He’s a man that has a lot of talents – killing, ruthlessness and no remorse. While on the surface his addition to the group in Texas is one filled with rage and a quest for revenge, they need him. They need his unique talents. That creates […]Read On »

TV Review: REVOLUTION – SEASON 2 – “Patriot Games”

Neville (Giancarlo Esposito) gears up to do some dirty work on REVOLUTION "Patriot Games" | (c) 2013 Felicia Graham/NBC

Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Zak Orth, Elizabeth Mitchell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito Writer: David Rambo Director: Helen Shaver Network: Airs on NBC, Wednesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Oct. 16, 2013 I guess at this point the question has to be asked as to how deep down the rabbit hole does the Patriot group go on REVOLUTION? In “Patriot Games” we saw that those calling themselves the U.S. government has their hands in pretty much every cookie jar going throughout the former country that crumbled after the lights went out. They are obviously making nice with the people in […]Read On »

Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Zak Orth, Elizabeth Mitchell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito Writer: David Rambo Director: Helen Shaver Network: Airs on NBC, Wednesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Oct. 9, 2013 It is pretty safe to assume that whoever is claiming to be the U.S. government on REVOLUTION isn’t all that they are cracked up to be. In the amusingly titled “Love Story” we learn that the so-called government has been paying the crazy child molester turned cult leader, Titus, to scare the town of Texas where Rachel, Miles and crew have been holding up since after the bombs […]Read On »

Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Zak Orth, Elizabeth Mitchell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito Writer: Paul Grellong Director: Phil Sgriccia Network: Airs on NBC, Wednesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Oct. 2, 2013 Well they have certainly have flipped the tables in the second season of REVOLUTION. Gone is the tired war between the rebels and the Monroe (David Lyons) militia and now we are seeing a variety of storylines going for multiple characters and shockingly, extremely shocking, they are all pretty good. First, who knew that a piece of pool tile could be so damn handy? But Monroe sure knew […]Read On »
