Stars: James Maslow, Meryl Davis, Candace Cameron Bure, Amy Purdy, Charlie White Network: ABC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: May 12th, 2014 It was a night to gush on DANCING WITH THE STARS. American Icon night had the judges handing out tens like hotcakes and the duos were lapping it up. Still, the biggest shock came when Olympian Charlie White & Sharna Burgess were eliminated in the ninth week and the usually lower-scoring Candace Cameron Bure & Mark Ballas got sent to the finals. It was no surprise to see Meryl Davis & Maks Chmerkovskiy earn a perfect 80 for the […]Read On »

However, when three little boys were murdered in Arkansas in May 1993, there was […]Read On »

Apart from Sam’s (Jared Padalecki) concern that the Mark of Cain may be making Dean (Jensen Ackles) a lot more bloodthirsty than is healthy, and one crack from Dean that […]Read On »

Cast: Clark Gregg, Ming-Na wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Elizabeth Henstridge, Iain De Caestecker, Bill Paxton Writer: Jeffrey Bell Director: Roxann Dawson Network: Airs on ABC Tuesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: May 6, 2014 So the penultimate episode of the first season of MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD was a last minute attempt to tie all the loose ends together before what ABC has promised to be an “explosive” season finale to the show. Obviously, this show has gone through a lot of changes and various plotlines during the course of a very tumultuous first season so an episode such […]Read On »

Stars: James Maslow, Danica McKellar,  Meryl Davis, Candace Cameron Bure, Amy Purdy, Charlie White Network: ABC, airs Mondays Original Telecast: May 5th, 2014 The wicked witch of the dance floor – DANCE MOMS‘ Abby Lee Miller –  guest judged on DANCING WITH THE STARS tonight and boy was the tension palpable, especially between Miller and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. But it was clear none of the pros were her fans. Even when she praised the pros she was met with lukewarm gratitude. Why they would bring such a highly chagrined, low-level reality TV star to a show like DWTS is beyond me. […]Read On »

GIRL ON A BICYCLE soundtrack | ©2014 Lakeshore Records

After using a groovily offbeat acoustical approach for to play the tangled LA relationships of LOVELY & AMAZING and FRIENDS WITH MONEY, American composer Craig Richey takes a trip to Paris for a more universally symphonic comedy sound for GIRL ON A BICYCLE, as an Italian tour bus driver with a sex-starved German fiancée finds himself falling for a winsome French bicyclist who passes by his route. While he wittily captures its characters’ nationalities with an accordion and mandolin, this enjoyably sweet is mostly about using lushly melodic strings for the kind of perky Francophile enchantment practiced by Alexandre Desplat […]Read On »
