The Wedding Planner.” This is a chance to explore the backstory of Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) while also bringing her grifter father Jack Burton (Gary Cole) back into the picture for another guest appearance.

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Vic Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Bonita Friedericy Writers: Amanda Kate Shuman, Nicholas Wootton Director: Robert Duncan McNeill Network: NBC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: April 11, 2011 Season four of CHUCK has been filled with so many double crosses and “are they bad or are they not bad” scenarios that “Vs. The Family Volkoff” is the final straw. Just be rehashing these familiar themes, it comes off as incredibly annoying as it runs this familiar back and forth into the ground. In the last first […]Read On »

Blu-ray Review: TANGLED

TANGLED - DVD and Blu-ray

Rating: PG Voices: Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy Writers: Dan Fogelman, based on the story by Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm Directors: Nathan Greno & Byron Howard Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures Disney has had a rough patch when it comes to their own homegrown animated films especially when they’re competing in-house with the magicians at Pixar (who, up until this point, can do no wrong). It’s been frustrating to watch Disney fumble the ball time and again, but thankfully with their 50th animated feature film TANGLED, they got it all right. Originally called RAPUNZEL, the film had the potential stigma […]Read On »

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Vic Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Bonita Friedericy Writers: Phil Klemmer Director:  Kevin Mock Network: NBC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: March 14, 2011 Even though CHUCK has been primarily focused on the search for Chuck’s mom (which he found) and villainous Volkoff (Timothy Dalton), Season 4 also set up a rather strange series of guest spots this year with various CIA agents working at the Buy More named Greta. Summer Glau, Stacy Kiebler and Isaiah Mustafa have all played Greta at some point. And with […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: Ryan McPartlin is Awesome on CHUCK

On NBC’s CHUCK, now in its fourth season on Mondays at 8 PM, Zachary Levi may play the title spy with Intersect-given superpowers, but it’s Chuck’s brother-in-law Devon Woodcomb, played by Ryan McPartlin, who is nicknamed – without irony – Captain Awesome. There’s good reason for this: Devon is the perfect doctor, friend, boyfriend-turned-husband and now dad to baby Clara (Chuck’s niece). He’s also pretty awesome in appearance, which the other characters remark upon with regularity. Chicago native McPartlin seems to take everything in stride as easily as Devon does, sounding happy and relaxed as he talks about the character […]Read On »

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Vic Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Bonita Friedericy Writers: Henry Alonso Myers, Craig DiGregorio Director: Frederick E.O. Toye Network: NBC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 28, 2011 Is Vivian Volkoff (Lauren Cohan) good or evil? That’s the big question CHUCK offers up in “Vs. The First Bank of Evil.” While Chuck (Zachary Levi) spent the first four seasons looking for his mom and dad, it thankfully didn’t send him over the deep end – it just made him a spy. However, after the events of […]Read On »

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Vic Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Bonita Friedericy Writers: Rafe Judkins, Lauren LeFranc Director: Patrick Norris Network: NBC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 21, 2011 First off, it’s nice that CHUCK hasn’t completely abandoned the Alexei Volkoff (Timothy Dalton) Big Bad storyline that wrapped up with “The Push Mix” a few weeks ago. Given there is still half a season to go, to send off Volkoff to prison without a fight (or some other kind of twist) would be unfair to say the least. With […]Read On »

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Vic Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Bonita Friedericy Writers: Nicholas Wootton Director: Paul Marks Network: NBC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 14, 2011 I’m pretty sure I have a new favorite episode from Season 4 of CHUCK and that’s “Vs. The Cat Squad.” The set-up is a simple – Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) doesn’t have anyone she can invite to her and Chuck’s (Zachary Levi) engagement party, so he does a little digging and finds out she was part of a CIA super-group of sexy spies […]Read On »
