Regnier Director: Sergio Mimica-Gazzan Network: TNT, airs Sunday Nights Original Telecast: July 14, 2013 Finally, FALLING SKIES is righting the ship.  After spending most of this season meandering through the aftermath of a genocidal alien invasion that somehow no longer seems scary enough, “The Pickett Line” went darker, added a real sense of danger to the proceedings, and in the process made a lot of […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Anthony Hopkins, Byung Hun Lee, Mary-Louise Parker, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Neal McDonough, Brian Cox Writers: Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber, based on characters created by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner Director: Dean Parisot Distributor: Summit Entertainment Release Date: July 19, 2012 One of the main thoughts one has while watching RED 2 is that Helen Mirren is awesome. This isn’t exactly news, but every moment she’s onscreen here, firing two guns simultaneously as if she’s in a Quentin Tarantino shoot-‘em-up with an expression that says, yes, this is going just as she […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE CONJURING

Rating: R Stars: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor Writers: Chad Hayes & Carey W. Hayes Director: James Wan Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: July 19, 2013 THE CONJURING is a bit of an oddity. It is undeniably scary, yet takes what feels like a lot of time out to do some very on-the-nose bits about faith and marriage. It’s a bit like if THE EXORCIST was remade by one of those “this is good for you” religious TV channels. Ed and Lorraine Warren (played here by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, respectively) were a real-life married couple […]Read On »

By PETER BROWN 07/16/2013

Apparently Fox will be offering a limited edition PREDATOR Blu-ray at San Diego Comic-Con that “officially” begins this Thursday but the floor opens Wednesday night for those people that want to scoop up some cool swag or comics before the panels and absolute madness begins. So Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is creating a booth dedicated specifically to the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic. At booth #3528 you can get your photo taken with a 3-D camera and then be transformed into a customized figurine that features the Predator holding a fan’s severed head. Naturally, this is going to be a huge hit. […]Read On »

WOULD YOU RATHER | ©2013 IFC Midnight

No such possibilities exist in WOULD YOU RATHER, where a “game” of choices quickly escalates into mutilation and murder. The set-up: Iris (Brittany Snow), hard-working but broke, is desperate to save her depressed brother, who will die if he doesn’t get very […]Read On »

So put your feet up, grab some popcorn and check out this week’s selections.

But THE HOST is actually quite a bit better than the previous series she is more known […]Read On »

The cast of SIBERIA | (c) 2013 NBC

Cast: Joyce Giraud, Johnny Wactor, Neeko Skervin, Natalie Scheetz, Sam Dobbins, Esther Anderson, Anne-Marie Mueschke, Jonathon Buckley, Victoria Emilie Hill Writer: Matthew Arnold Director: Matthew Arnold Network: NBC, airs Mondays @ 10 p.m. Original Telecast: July 8, 2013 SIBERIA continued to play the faux reality show game quite well in the second episode although it is clear in “A Question of Reality,” which is obviously a pun here, that this is a scripted series in case there were still doubters (which, I doubt – my own pun). The focus of the second episode was the fallout over the death of […]Read On »
