Few shows need less endorsement or introduction than the original Prime Suspect with Helen Mirren. First airing at the beginning of the '90s, and running through to 2006, the span of time will be immediately misleading to American audiences. The show ran as "series," which went from two to four hours, with great gaps between the airing of one series and the next. Playing more like installments of … [Read more...]
The season is kicking off well for FOX, even if I'm questioning the decision to keep Fringe going... that's just me, I'm sure. I'm loving New Girl, and the new season of Raising Hope has been keeping that show going in solid fashion (notice how they changed the opening credits like I told them to). At any rate, here are some behind-the-scenes looks at the shows for you. Keep tuning … [Read more...]
I suppose there is some chance that a person might just be opposed to anything that presents itself as a political thriller/drama, but barring a genre-bias, I don't suppose people need a lot of convincing beyond learning the cast of The Ides of March. George Clooney is certainly enough of a draw, and Ryan Gosling picks up pretty well where he leaves off. Of course, I was actually referring to … [Read more...]
Speaking of Hung. Here's one for you that looks... interesting. Actually, it looks a little crazy, but I'm interested to see exactly where Thomas Jane goes with this. I MELT WITH YOU will be available on Magnolia On-Demand November 4 followed by its theatrical release on December 9th Richard (Thomas Jane), Ron (Jeremy Piven), Jonathan (Rob Lowe) and Tim (Christian McKay) are old college … [Read more...]

A new "show" is coming your way via Facebook, and you could see parts of "yourself" in the show... sort of. Check this one out. Frankly, I don't get it, but what do you think? WARNER BROS.

Hung is kicking off its third season this Sunday, and I wanted to make sure you all got notice of the fact.

If the Houser Brothers of Rockstar Games, the creative team behind the famous (or infamous depending on how prude you are) Grand Theft Auto series, relented and allowed a film version of the GTA series to be produced, and if they somehow maintained enough control over the project to inject some artistic fortitude into it and make it more than yet another Hollywood cash-in on a popular video game … [Read more...]
I have to tell you, as odd as it may sound, I'm not really a guy who needs his TV shows in HD. A Blu-Ray release might be different, because you're bound to get some cool special features, but as far the show itself being in HD, I could take it or leave it. Now, when it comes to Star Trek: The Next Generation, that might be a different story. I'm not absolutely sure it's a different story, but it … [Read more...]
ABC's Suburgatory is a show that, whatever else it may manage, is going to have a lot of critics talking. A lot of them are going to love it, and I suspect a lot of viewers will as well, but a lot of them are going to wonder what the hell anyone could see in it. Either way, this is not a show that is going to slip past without comment. On the other hand, it's also a show that may be in too … [Read more...]

It's a … [Read more...]
This one looks surprisingly good actually, though... different. Especially considering it's Heigl... that could just be me. Katherine Heigl brings Stephanie Plum - the popular heroine of Janet Evanovich's worldwide best-selling seventeen-book mystery series - to vibrant life in Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment's ONE FOR THE MONEY. A proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl, Stephanie … [Read more...]
The sit-com market is an especially tricky game these days, and Whitney is an effort that seems to be trying largely to go back to a construct that used to capture people in droves, mixed with a somewhat updated sense of humor. It has certain Mad About You feel to things, but we're watching a different couple, in a different age. These are people who grew up with Seinfeld, and their friends are … [Read more...]
