In THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, now in its second season on the CW (airing Thursdays at 8 PM), most of the bloodsuckers are deadly serious. Stefan (Paul Wesley) constantly grapples with his determination not to kill despite his instincts, as well as protecting his mortal love Elena (Nina Dobrev), whose vampire doppelganger and ancestress Katherine (also Dobrev) is determined to win Stefan back. Then there’s Stefan’s brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder), who has bouts of homicidal behavior when not making plays for both Elena and Katherine. But in the midst of all this is Candice Accola’s Caroline, Elena’s high-school bestie who just […]Read On »

VAMPIRE CIRCUS - Blu-ray | ©2011 Synapse Films

Cast: Adrienne Corri, Laurence Payne, Thorley Walters, John Moulder-Brown, Lynne Frederick, Anthony Corlan, David Prowse Writer: Judson Kinberg Director: Robert Young Distributor: Synapse Films Suggested Retail Price: $29.95 It’s a shame that British production company Hammer Films hasn’t received its due with more special re-releases on Blu-ray and DVD. Movies have certainly come out (Anchor Bay did a nice job in the early days of DVD), but rarely does Hammer get the deluxe treatment it deserves. Thankfully, the recent Blu-ray/DVD combo of VAMPIRE CIRCUS remedies some of that as Synapse Films takes this classic circus horror film and delivers an […]Read On »

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver Director: David Barrett Writers: Daniel Loflin Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: February 11, 2011 This was the type of episode on SUPERNATURAL that separates this show from the rest of the schlock that is on television at the moment. Where most shows might bypass or gloss over the fact that one of its major characters was a soulless, brutal creature hunter for a year, SUPERNATURAL does it in style and capitalizes on this aspect of its characters in order to provide great storytelling and further the mythology of […]Read On »

iCast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver Director: Philip Sgriccia Writer: Adam Glass Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: February 4, 2011 I’m very happy that SUPERNATURAL is back. No other show on TV makes me laugh and keeps my interest as much as this show does. And “Like a Virgin” had ample amounts of comedy and compelling storytelling. This episode had two purposes for overall mythology and second half of SUPERNATURAL. One, provide a follow up to Sam (Jared Padalecki) getting his soul back into his body. And two, introducing what I believe will be […]Read On »

On BEING HUMAN, a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost share a house and their mutual yet disparate attempts to achieve something like the title condition. The actors playing the series’ two principal vampires, Sam Witwer as roommate Aidan and Mark Pellegrino as police lieutenant (and Aidan’s sire) Bishop, likewise share a few things, like a background in cult hits. Pellegrino was the quasi-saintly Jacob (Pellegrino jokingly refers to him as “diet Jesus”) on LOST, the Earthly incarnation of Lucifer on SUPERNATURAL, Rita’s violent ex-husband on DEXTER; Witwer also appeared on DEXTER, as well as being Davis Bloome, aka Doomsday, […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: LET ME IN director Matt Reeves takes on the dark side of adolescence

By CARL CORTEZ 02/02/2011

One of the scariest things about the horror film LET ME IN, which is about a bullied young boy Owen (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who befriends vampire girl Abby (Chloe Moretz), is that it’s a remake of the excellent Swedish film LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. To tackle such a perfect film for American audiences could have been a suicide mission for any other filmmaker. However, writer-director Matt Reeves managed to take the seeds that made the original film so perfect and translate it beautifully with LET ME IN (which hits DVD and Blu-ray his week). The CLOVERFIELD helmer spoke with ASSIGNMENT […]Read On »

Hot damn, I love Death. SUPERNATURAL has made a living on creating compelling characters that return to the show time and time again to either aid or hinder the Winchester brothers. Crowley (Mark Sheppard) being one of the all-time greats and the main thrust of the season (so far) this year.
