The second season of Being Human kicks off on Syfy on January 16th, and the show delivered well enough the first season to warrant some real excitement when it comes to how things will continue on. It's becoming increasingly rare that British translations work out, and this one has been a welcome surprise. To help kick things off, I have a couple of very cool clips, and an interview with the … [Read more...]
So, Prime Suspect is premiering tonight, and I've got an interview for you with Tim Griffin who stars as Augie Blando. It was one of the most interesting interviews I've conducted in quite a while, and I don't think I ever actually asked him a question. Unfortunately, due to some technical issues, the first half of the interview is lost to the aether, and it wasn't until he called me back that … [Read more...]
I hope you're all ready for tomorrow's premiere of New Girl at 9/8 Central on FOX. If you need more info, catch the review here. Zooey Deschanel was on a press call recently that I got to take part in, and if her ability to charm a group of interviewers is any judge, the show just might make quite a splash. Really, make sure you tune in. The interview was rather interesting, and something about … [Read more...]
Syfy's Haven has largely been a surprise for me. A lot of shows have tried to bring the creepy to television in the last few years, and none of them managed much success. Worse, putting Stephen King works on film is always tricky, and more often than not results in something fairly goofy. Actually, Haven is pretty goofy, but it's a catchy sort of goofy, and it keeps pulling me in. Emily … [Read more...]
Jeri Ryan is making her mark on television these days, from guest spots on some of my favorite shows, to Body of Proof, and tonight you'll get a chance to see her on an all-new episode of Syfy's Warehouse 13. Warehouse 13, part of Syfy's Powerful Mondays, has been putting together a lot of fun since it first kicked off, and is still sticking true to the Go Big, or Go Home theory of wacky … [Read more...]
If you follow me at all, you probably know that I am something of a nut for reality competition shows. "Nut," because they have some appeal to me, regardless of what the particular subject is and/or whether or not it is anything I would watch a "regular" show about. I have no real interest in becoming a chef, and don't watch cooking shows, but I watch all the various shows that put chefs in … [Read more...]
Well, Falling Skies has launched, and the debut ratings were impressive. If you're like me, you took a shine to the character John Pope, and there is a lot of him coming up in the show, and with some interesting spins. Pope is played by Colin Cunningham, and I got a chance to talk to him recently about the show, shows generally, and his character. It was a great conversation, and I hope that … [Read more...]
ABC's Shark Tank is between seasons at the moment, though I'm glad to see it still showing up on Friday nights, but it's getting a third season in the fall. The show had me as a fan long before it ever aired, because I had already been hooked by the British and Canadian versions for years. The show of entrepreneurial hopefuls, and the Sharks (Dragons in the other incarnations) who may or may not … [Read more...]
Nathan Fillion has fans from so many places by now that anything he does is guaranteed to draw a pretty sizable crowd. He's part of the upcoming Green Lantern extravaganza, which not only includes the major theatrical release, but Green Lantern: Emerald Knights which hits on Blu-Ray, DVD, On Demand, and Download June 7th. The last Green Lantern animated release was impressive to say the least, … [Read more...]
I Am Number Four is just about to hit stores, and star Dianna Agron chatted about the film recently. Well, largely she chatted about her spare time, guys, and fashion, but you know how it goes. The Glee star has some lofty goals, and simple tastes. Check out the interview below. Was it fun to leave the Glee gang behind for some big-screen action with your new movie, I Am Number Four? It was … [Read more...]
Hitting stores on May 24th, Gnomeo & Juliet is a great family film that is sure to entertain. I'll have a review of the release for you shortly, and I can tell you that the film was much better than I expected (for what you can glean from that information), but I have a couple of things to share first. Emily Blunt and Elton John share some thoughts on the movie, and I also have a very cool … [Read more...]
The buzz is heating up for The X Factor, and Simon Cowell took part in another Q & A to explore the show. Despite the fact that the premiere of the show is quite a ways away, the audition circuit is in full swing, and since a lot of people are doing a lot of not so positive talking about Idol, attention is turning to the future. Check it out below, and then find several teaser clips at the … [Read more...]
Sanctuary, Syfy's surprise (to me) hit returns with new episodes April 15th, and the show has recently been picked up for a fourth season. I say surprise, by the way, only because the show plays fast and loose with just how wild it is going to be, and how strange the events that unfold will become, and that doesn't often sell well, even for sci-fi. When last we saw our crew, they were in a city at … [Read more...]
Christian Slater will be taking yet another shot at television with Breaking In on FOX. The show premieres on April 6th, and I will have something more like a review shortly, because if the pilot is truly a workable representation, then I'm going to be a fan of this one. I got a chance to talk with him about the show on a Q & A Press call recently, and he was great to talk to. Hints of the … [Read more...]
That's right. The Flash Mob itself, simply as entity, now has a television show, and Howie Mandel is the host. Mobbed premieres tonight, and the show basically attacks people with Flash Mobs. People have something they want to tell people, and they've decided that the way to do it is to surprise them with hundreds of people dancing and singing. How do you turn that into a show? Well, you get … [Read more...]
Tangled Directors Nathan Greno and Byron Howard took part in a very cool virtual roundtable interview recently, and they managed to cover a lot of subjects while interviewers got a chance to catch some of the special features. I'll be getting you a lot of great stuff related to this release in the coming days, but for now check out what the directors had to say about their film. Q - … [Read more...]
