By ABBIE BERNSTEIN | 03/09/2012
SILENT HOUSE poster | ©2012 Open Road

Rating: R Stars: Elizabeth Olsen, Adam Trese, Eric Sheffer Stevens, Julia Taylor Ross Writer: Laura Lau, based on the Gustavo Hernandez film LA CASA MUDA Directors: Chris Kentis & Laura Lau Distributor: Open Road Films Release Date: March 9, 2012 SILENT HOUSE is advertised as being made in one continuous 85-minute take. If true, this is a wonderful feat of economic filmmaking, but it has strangely little bearing on the movie’s overall effect. Because the action moves from inside the title structure to outside and back again, the immediacy that the single moving take should provide dissipates somewhat. Directors Chris […]Read On »

GAME CHANGE is an apt title for what happened in the 2008 election when John McCain, the Republican nominee for President of the United States of America, selected then-Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin as his running mate. Even people who see eye to eye on nothing else can agree that what followed was not quite like anything else that had ever happened on the national stage. The book GAME CHANGE by Time Magazine editor-in-chief Mark Halperin and political journalist John Heilemann encompasses the entire 2008 election, including the Democratic contest between then-Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The HBO film […]Read On »

Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson Network: Fox, airs Wednesdays and Thursdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: March 8, 2012 It was an hour long elimination that should have been 15 minutes on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL. Well I lost the pool on when J.Lo would first sell herself out on IDOL during Season 11. I figured it was going to be a music video … instead it was a music video of an advertisement for one of her products. The other came nearly immediately after with a make-up ad featuring J.Lo. They also […]Read On »

Stars: Bruce Greenwood, Joe Anderson, Leslie Hope, Eloise Mumford, Paul Blackthorne, Thomas Kretschmann, Daniel Zacapa, Shaun Parkes, Paulina Gaitan, Scott Michael Foster, Katie Featherston Writer: Michael Green Director: Michelle MacLaren Network: ABC, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Broadcast: March 7, 2012 It’s a complete shame what’s happened with THE RIVER. What started off as a promising and groundbreaking series as de-volved into an incredibly frustrating exercise in style over substance. Each week, there’s a promise of something big and major and each week, it ends up being a disappointment. Finally, a big mythology play happens with “Doctor Emmet Cole”. We […]Read On »

Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson Network: Fox, airs Wednesdays and Thursdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: March 7, 2012 So it has been 400 episodes of awesome karaoke on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL. Sigh. This is depressing considering I probably have reviewed maybe 250 of these episodes. Anyway, this week the guys are taking on Stevie Wonder while the girls are taking on Whitney Houston. Oh because IDOL wouldn’t want to needlessly cash in on the tragedy of her death or something … wait, this is IDOL all they do is cash in […]Read On »

Stars: Christian Slater, Megan Mullally, Bret Harrison, Alphonso McAuley, Erin Richards, Jennifer Irwin, Odette Annable Writer: Adam F. Goldberg Director: Seth Gordon Network: Fox, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: March 7, 2012 One of the most promising new comedies last Spring was the Christian Slater starrer BREAKING IN on Fox. It’s a series that focused on a security firm run by the brash, unpredictable and enigma-like Oz (Slater) and the wacky employees he has. The series struggled throughout the seven episodes to find the right balance and tone. While I appreciated what the series did, it didn’t bowl me over […]Read On »
