Stars: Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath, Sam Huntington, Mark Pellegrino, Kristen Hager, Terry Kinney Writers: Jeremy Carver & Anna Fricke Director: Adam Kane Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: April 11, 2011 BEING HUMAN ends its first season on a note of suitable completion, if not genius. It flips around who gets to be the hero of the piece from its British forerunner to somewhat tamer effect, but still generates enough good will for the main characters to keep us invested in their challenges, both separate and shared. After the previous episode culminated in vampire leader Bishop (Mark Pellegrino) staking […]Read On »

Most filmmakers are lucky to have one major franchise to their name in their career, but Wes Craven has managed to have two with A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and the SCREAM movies to his name. Throw in THE HILLS HAVE EYES and LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT (which have both been remade from his seminal 1970s films) and the director has proven to be one of horror’s continual masters and a force to be reckoned with.   With SCRE4M (aka SCREAM 4), Craven returns for the fourth go-around to the venerable horror franchise that started in 1996 and has […]Read On »

This simple premise is executed beautifully by writer Virgil Williams and director Adam Arkin.

Rating: E10 Distributor: LucasArts Suggested Retail Price: $49.99 (Wii, PS3, XBOX),  $29.99 (PC, PSP, DS), $39.99 (Nintendo 3DS) One of the greatest contributions to the STAR WARS franchise was the creation of the LEGO STAR WARS video games. Taking the entire six films and re-creating the environments and storylines in a kid-friendly LEGO world was absolutely a work of genius. Addictive game play and a really heightened sense of the worlds George Lucas created made this one of the best video games of the last decade. Now, we’re treated to LEGO STAR WARS III: THE CLONE WARS which brings the […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Patrick Dempsey, Scott Foley, Lance Henriksen, Matt Keeslar, Jenny McCarthy, Emily Mortimer, Parker Posey, Deon Richmond, Patrick Warburton Writer: Ehren Kruger Director: Wes Craven Distributor: Lionsgate Suggested Retail Price: $19.99 After two really good films, the SCREAM franchise took a huge nosedive with 2000’s virtually unwatchable SCREAM 3. A very lazy film (when you compare it to the ambitions screenwriter Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven were going for in SCREAM 2), SCREAM 3 is a hodge podge of unfunny comedy, crazy back story and very few actual scares. Williamson is nowhere […]Read On »

AMC’s new series THE KILLING, airing Sundays, is based on the hit Danish series FORBRYDELSEN, which follows not only the detectives investigating the murder of a young woman, but also the crime’s effect on the community. Bill Campbell (THE ROCKETEER, THE 4400, ONCE AND AGAIN) plays mayoral candidate Darren Richmond, whose campaign and perhaps personal life are impacted by the situation. Sitting down in a hotel restaurant in Pasadena at the winter Television Critics Association press tour, Campbell talks about his new gig – and about his occasional need to leave Hollywood behind and literally go out to sea. ASSIGNMENT […]Read On »
