Rating: R Stars: Anna Paquin, J. Smith-Cameron, Mark Ruffalo, Jeannie Berlin, Matt Damon, Jean Reno, Matthew Broderick, Kieran Culkin, Hina Abdullah, Allison Janney, Jonathan Hadary Writer: Kenneth Lonergan Director: Kenneth Lonergan Distributor: Fox Searchlight Release Date: September 30, 2011 Seventeen-year-olds tend to act without thinking often. But what if an action may have catastrophic, irrevocable consequences? How to take responsibility for this without wrecking the lives of everyone in sight? This is a tough issue even for adults – for high school student Lisa Cohen (Anna Paquin), it’s practically unbearable. In MARGARET, the trouble starts when Lisa, a Manhattan dweller, […]Read On »

Steven Moffat, who was already on the DOCTOR WHO writing staff, took the reins as DOCTOR WHO show runner and producer in 2010. He brought in Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor and created the character of Amy Pond played by Karen Gillan. One of Moffat’s most convoluted contributions to WHO has been the character of River Song (Alex Kingston) who is the daughter of a companion and the future lover of The Doctor himself. As the sixth season continues more is uncovered about Rivers’ past and it all ends with a wedding (or at least the finale’s title implies […]Read On »

I seem to remember that Corden is friends with Matt […]Read On »

Interview: SUPERNATURAL star Misha Collins elevates his character to a higher being

Big spoiler for those who didn’t see last week’s season premiere of SUPERNATURAL – the angel Castiel, played by Misha Collins, is really not himself. In the Season Six finale, Castiel opened Purgatory and ingested all the souls of creatures within, making himself big-G God. As we learned in the Season Seven opener, “Meet the New Boss,” that kind of diet just doesn’t agree with an angel, either physiologically or ethically, and Cass wound up vomiting most of the souls back from whence they came. Unfortunately, a few really bad ones, the Leviathans, stuck around and have taken control of […]Read On »

Cast: Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, Antonio Reid, Cheryl Cole, Nicole Scherzinger Network: Fox, airs on Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Telecast: Sept. 28, 2011 A quick recap of what you know about THE X FACTOR: Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell returned together, a pompous British dude with a Barney-colored Polo is the host, they kicked off Cheryl Cole as a judge despite the fact that she’s a better judge than Nicole Scherzinger, it has just as many freaks, losers and bad singers as AMERICAN IDOL and, yes, it is just another copy of all the other singing/talent shows we’ve grown to […]Read On »

Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas Writer: Andrew W. Marlowe, David Amann Director: Jeff Bleckner Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: September 26, 2011 This is your classic CASTLE episode – a little flirting between Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Becket (Stana Katic), a family issue with Castle’s daughter Alexis (Molly Quinn), and his mom Martha (Susan Sullivan) doing something weird that oddly complements the case that Castle and Beckett are working. Fair warning – the opening scenes are pretty gross. The victim – a complete no-goodnik name Tyler Faris (James Ferris) – […]Read On »

Wyman & Jeff Pinkner, story by Jeff Pinkner & J.H. Wyman & Akiva Goldsman Director: Joe Chappelle Network: Fox, Fridays @ 9 PM Original Telecast: September 23, 2011 Where the heck is Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson)? Most of the characters aren’t wondering about this, as – since the end of last season – he never existed in either universe. At the outset of the season four premiere of FRINGE, “Neither Here Nor There,”  “our” Observer (Michael Cerveris), though, […]Read On »

With FRINGE heading into Season 4, ASSIGNMENT X recently spoke with executive producer J.H. Wyman about what to expect with the series return (it premieres tonight on Fox). Thankfully, he doesn’t offer any huge spoilers, but hinted at the direction the series will be going in with the absence of now non-existent Peter (Joshua Jackson) weighing heavily on Walter (John Noble) and Olivia (Anna Torv) as they continue to explore Fringe science (both Over Here and Over There). Here’s what he had to say. ASSIGNMENT X: It’s a given that Peter will be back, correct? J.H. WYMAN: You’re going to […]Read On »
