Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spirdakos, Giancarlo Esposito, Zak Orth, David Lyons, Tim Guinee, Elizabeth Mitchell, Graham Rogers, Daniella Alonso Writer: Jim Barnes Director: Charles Beeson Network: NBC, airs Mondays @ 10 p.m. Original Telecast: Nov. 19, 2012 Everything that is wrong with REVOLUTION can be summed up in the episode “Kashmir.” Not only did NBC give viewers of the show another empty promise in delivering the confrontation between Monroe (David Lyons) and Miles (Billy Burke), it gave us an entire episode that literally did nothing but move the gang from Point A to Point B with yet more mean, nasty […]Read On »

Rating: PG Stars (voices): Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher, Jude Law, Dakota Goyo Writer: David Lindsay-Abaire, based on the short film and book by William Joyce Director: Peter Ramsey Distributor: DreamWorks Animation SKG RISE OF THE GUARDIANS is a 3D animated feature that brushes off the hoarfrost from notions like the importance of a child’s sense of wonder and makes something entertaining and even sometimes moving from it. Scripted by David Lindsay-Abaire from William Joyce’s short film and novel, RISE OF THE GUARDIANS actually feels like a fairytale, the kind that used to enthrall most of us […]Read On »

In Season 7 of DEXTER, on Showtime Sundays at 9 PM, Jason Gedrick plays George Novikov, manager of the Miami strip club the Fox Hole, which is owned by the Russian mob. George is busy making life difficult for any number of people right now, especially Detective Joey Quinn (Desmond Harrington) and even George’s boss Isaak Sirko (Ray Stevenson). Gedrick came to public attention in heroic roles, like the lead in IRON EAGLE and firefighter Krizminski in BACKDRAFT. Lately, though, he’s played more unsavory types. Talking at a party thrown poolside at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in celebration of the […]Read On »

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, TJ Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Pej Vahdat, Kevin G. Schmidt, Roberta Valderrama, Brad William Henke Writer: Pat Charles, series created by Hart Hanson, based on the life and writings of Kathy Reichs Director: Tim Southam Network: Fox, Mondays @ 8 PM Airdate: November 19, 2012 It’s hard for BONES to sneak a march on us in the romance department, and in fact, we catch on a bit quicker than perhaps we’re meant to in “The Bod in the Pod.” Still, considering that most viewers won’t have picked up on the clues […]Read On »

Honestly, I expected this episode to be a complete disaster – as we see many of McKinley […]Read On »

Album Review: Marshall Crenshaw – I DON’T SEE YOU LAUGHING NOW E.P.

By A.C. FERRANTE 11/23/2012
Marshall Crenshaw - I DON'T SEE YOU LAUGHING NOW | ©2012 Marshall Crenshaw

There’s no denying the power of Marshall Crenshaw’s power pop. With his 1982 self-titled debut album he brought a sense of rock and roll purpose with his catchy lyrics and crystal clean vocals. From “There She Goes Again” to “Whenever You’re On My Mind”, his music was in many ways out of place with the early 1980s synth movement. Which makes his music although the more timeless today. Throughout countless exceptional albums and just as many labels, he’s weathered the musical storm and found the best way to do business in the modern age is to get back to basics. […]Read On »

As James Bond gun-barrels hell-bent into the 21st century with his 23rd film SKYFALL, 007’s owners have continued to re-shape their iconic 50 year-old bread-and-Broccoli character into a spy who’s far more a part of a believable BOURNE universe, as opposed the stylish wisecracker who duked it out with evil industrialists aboard super tankers and space stations. While that gallows humor is still very much part of Bond’s DNA, the character has achieved a real-world level of brute force and inner turmoil unheard of in his past incarnations. But even before the real world makeover that’s best been personified by […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson, Adrianne Palicki, Isabel Lucas, Connor Cruise, Jeffrey Dean Morgan Writers: Carl Ellsworth and Jeremy Passmore, based on the screenplay by Kevin Reynolds and John Milius, story by Kevin Reynolds Director: Dan Bradley Distributor: FilmDistrict Release Date: November 21, 2012 Whether you remember director John Milius’ 1984 RED DAWN as a bona fide classic, a camp entertainment or a WTF bit of paramilitary fantasy, the new remake stands up poorly. In the original, a handful of teenagers come together as a rebel unit that fights against the Russian occupation of the United […]Read On »
