Sheppard, Osric Chau, Ty Olsson, Liane Balaban, Amanda Tapping, Vincent Gale, Tyler Johnston Writer: Jenny Klein, series created by Eric Kripke Director: Robert Singer Network: The CW, Wednesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: January 16, 2013 SUPERNATURAL comes roaring back from its winter break with a zippy catch-up montage set to Bob Seger’s “Katmandu,” and then launched into “Torn and Frayed,” which is how Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Castiel (Misha Collins) all feel, what with the brothers relatively estranged and Cass trying to cope with urges he doesn’t […]Read On »

Stephen Amell as The Arrow in "Trust But Verify" | (c) 2013 Jack Rowand/The CW

Stars:  Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy, Paul Blackthorne, Colin Donnell, Susanna Thompson, Colin Salmon, Willa Holland, David Ramsey Writer:  Gabrielle Stanton Director: Nick Copus Network: The CW, airs Wednesday Nights Original Telecast: January 23, 2013 After meandering a bit with last week’s episode, “Trust but Verify” gets ARROW back on track in a big way with a taught, filler-free episode that juggles four satisfying storylines with remarkable agility. The main story concerns a gang of criminals on a deadly armored car robbery spree.  This, quite reasonably, attracts the attention of Oliver Queen, (Stephen Amell), and John Diggle, (David Ramsey), who, as […]Read On »

Movie Review: HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS

HANSEL & GRETEL WITCH HUNTERS |(c) 2013 Paramount Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Jeremy Renner, Gemma Arterton, Famke Janssen, Pihla Viitala,Thomas Mann, Peter Stormare Writers: Tommy Wirkola and D.W. Harper Director: Tommy Wirkola Distributor: Paramount Release Date: January 25, 2013 There are a lot of good ideas in HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS, not the least of which was having Tommy Wirkola direct and co-write (with D.W. Harper). Wirkola’s previous film, the Norwegian-language Nazi zombie movie DEAD SNOW, displayed some of the antic spirit of Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD movies. The trouble is that some of the elements in HANSEL & GRETEL require a different sort of tone, and this […]Read On »

Nathan Fillion as Castle in CASTLE | (c) 2013 ABC/PETER "HOPPER" STONE

Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer:  Jason Wilborn Director: Bill Roe Network: ABC, Monday nights, 10 p.m. Original Telecast: January 21, 2013 It’s business as usual on CASTLE this week with a charming, but not terribly deep episode, “Death Gone Crazy,” featuring a soft-core video porn king getting strangled with a really expensive bra in the ladies’ room at the video launch party. Unusually, this one is pretty much all about the case. Okay, Esposito (Jon Huertas) gets friendly with one of the suspects, Scarlett Jones (Kelly Hu) – they have so […]Read On »

Stars: Kevin Bacon, James Purefoy, Natalie Zea, Shawn Ashmore, Jeananne Goossen, Billy Brown Writers: Kevin Williamson Director: Marcos Siega Network: Airs on Fox, Mondays @ 9 p.m. Original Telecast: Jan. 21, 2013 Having watched every episode of the excellent Fox series 24, I wasn’t sure how THE FOLLOWING might follow in its footsteps (if at all) or if it would be an altogether new series. Turns out from the initial “Pilot” episode, it will be a bit of both. First off, THE FOLLOWING appears it won’t be for the faint of heart. There were literally dead bodies everywhere in the […]Read On »

TV Review – THE CARRIE DIARIES – Season 1 – “Lie With Me”

By PAMELA HARLAND 01/22/2013
AnnaSophia Robb as Carrie in THE CARRIE DIARIES "Lie With Me" | (c) 2013 Craig Blankenhorn/The CW

Stars: AnnaSophia Robb, Austin Butler, Ellen Wong, Katie Findlay, Stefania Owen, Brendan Dooling, Chloe Bridges, Freema Agyeman, Matthew Letscher Writer: Amy B. Harris Director: Alfonso Gomez-Rejon Network: The CW Original Telecast: Jan. 21st, 2013 Sadly, it’s not getting any better. Week two of THE CARRIE DIARIES is as hopeless and lacking in authenticity as the show’s pilot last week.  To say this week’s episode “Lie with Me” did nothing to salvage the show’s integrity is like saying that Carrie Bradshaw kinda likes her Manolo Blahniks. Still puzzling more than annoying, the show is written across the board for a nonexistent […]Read On »

Hook (Colin O’Donaghue) and falling over the city limits line so that she no longer remembers that she and the rest of Storybrooke are the […]Read On »

Executive producer J.J. Abrams, who co-created FRINGE with fellow e.p.s Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, stopped by a party thrown by Fox for the Television Critics Association to give his thoughts on the show’s close – and answer a couple of STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS questions while he was there. ASSIGNMENT X: After directing the second […]Read On »
