Stars: Carlos PenaVega, Nick Carter, Bindi Irwin, Alek Skarlatos, Network: ABC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: Nov. 23rd, 2015 What an emotional night on DANCING WITH THE STARS: The Season Finale, part one.  Bindi Irwin’s  & Derek Hough’s Freestyle was a tear jerker with everyone ending up sobbing as she danced her little heart out in honor of her dear departed Dad. It was a lovely and tender tribute, a performance that just may have sealed the deal with audiences and garnered her the trophy. But we won’t know for sure until tomorrow night. One thing we do know is that […]Read On »

Stars: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Teach Grant, Sarah-Jane Redmond, Adam Cohen Writer: Robbie Thompson, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Thomas J. Wright Network: The CW, Wednesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: October 21, 2015 The supposed gimmick in the SUPERNATURAL Season 11 episode “Baby” is that it’s from the point of view of Dean’s (Jensen Ackles) beloved Chevy Impala. This is a decent idea as far as it goes – we’re in Season 11 of a gonzo show, no reason the car can’t have a viewpoint. Trouble is, no one seems to want to go on record, […]Read On »

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, TJ Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Boyd, Patricia Belcher, Laura Spencer, Brenda Strong, Nicholas Gonzalez, Ali Hillin Writer: Emily Silver, series created by Hart Hanson, based on the life and writings of Kathy Reichs Director: Steve Robin Network: Fox Network, Thursdays @ 8 PM Airdate: November 5, 2015 Some TV shows deal with politics brilliantly. Others don’t. Then there are those that don’t want to, and fair enough. BONES does episodes built around issues often enough that it need offer no apologies for not wanting to get into party politics. Its Season 11 episode […]Read On »

#HORROR movie poster | ©2015 IFC Midnight

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Chloe Sevigny, Timothy Hutton, Natasha Lyonne, Balthasar Getty, Taryn Manning, Stella Schnabel, Sadie Seelert, Haley Murphy, Bridget McGarry, Blue Lindberg, Mina Sundwall, Emma Adler, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Lydia Hearst Writer: Tara Subkoff Director: Tara Subkoff Distributor: IFC Midnight Release Date (theatrical & VOD): November 20, 2015 #HORROR is rightly likely to cause a stir, partly because its protagonists are twelve-year-old girls and partly because writer/director Tara Subkoff has an ear for what girls of that age sound like, especially when they’re being mean. Subkoff also displays visual style to burn, setting her story in a uniquely-structured house […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Dean Norris, Alfred Molina, Joe Cole, Michael Kelly, Zoe Graham Writer: Billy Ray, based on the screenplay for EL SECRETO DEL SUS OJOS by Juan Jose Campanella & Eduardo Sacheri Director: Billy Ray Distributor: STX Entertainment Release Date: November 20, 2015 The 2009 Argentinean film EL SECRETO DEL SUS OJOS was well-reviewed and well-respected. Now an English-language adaptation by director/screenwriter Billy Ray, SECRET IN THEIR EYES, is here, and something seems to have been lost in translation. A lot of key plot points are the same, but whether it’s due to […]Read On »

Movie Review: LEGEND

LEGEND movie poster | ©2015 Universal Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Tom Hardy, Emily Browning, David Thewlis, Christopher Eccleston, Chazz Palmintieri Writer: Brian Helgeland, based on the book THE PROFESSION OF VIOLENCE by John Pearson Director: Brian Helgeland Distributor: Universal Release Date (theatrical): November 20, 2015 As biographical gangster films go, LEGEND is good enough. This isn’t the first feature to tackle London’s notorious Kray brothers – actual brothers Gary Kemp and Martin Kemp starred in 1990’s THE KRAYS, which had a fairly different take on Ronnie and Reggie, twins from London’s East End who ruled the crime scene there in the 1960s. LEGEND, adapted by writer/director Brian […]Read On »

Stars: Carlos PenaVega, Nick Carter, Bindi Irwin, Alek Skarlatos, Network: ABC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: Nov. 16th, 2015 DANCING WITH THE STARS: The Semi Finals was a show-stopping, spectacular event as the last four couples danced their aching feet off in a last-ditch effort to grab the mirror ball trophy. In the end, no one was sent packing because Tamar Braxton, along with Val Chmerkovskiy,  had to withdraw from the competition due to illness.  The remaining four couples had three dances to perform tonight: An original dance, a trio dance and a dance off. The dance off saw Bindi Irwin […]Read On »
