Distributor: Comedy Central Suggested Retail Price: $57.99 (Blu-ray), $49.99 (DVD) Release Date: March 27, 2012 It’s shocking to think SOUTH PARK has been on the air for fifteen seasons and still going strong. Yet, here is the SOUTH PARK – THE COMPLETE FIFTEENTH SEASON to remind viewers that the series, regardless of its ups and downs, is still one of the most potent and funny sources of topical animated satire. Now on Blu-ray, the 14 episodes provide a snapshot at what creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone do best – make sharp, skewered and funny observations about society (with a […]Read On »

This rebirth feels like it started with DEADWOOD, which was one of the roughest shows on TV, not only in language but also in tone and levels of violence.

Stars: Matt Passmore, Carlos Gomez, Kiele Sanchez, Jordan Wall, Michelle Hurd Writer: Tom Garrigus Director: Jeff Bleckner Network: A&E, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: June 3, 2012 CBS and USA have set the bar and template for the police procedural. CBS plays it straight, for the most part, while USA has a little fun with it. And A&E has found a nice middle ground with their Florida-set series THE GLADES, now entering its third season. There’s something familiar, fluffy and a bit routine about THE GLADES. It has a great cast with Matt Passmore serving as the anchor of the […]Read On »

Fox and found a way to make it the coolest high school monster show this side of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Season […]Read On »

Stars: Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin Writers: Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock, Hossein Amini Director: Rupert Sanders Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: June 1, 2012 After Julia Roberts tore through scenery in the campy MIRROR, MIRROR early this year, prospects for the second big studio reboot of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale certainly didn’t look promising. However, SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN has just the right amount of reinvention and visual panache, that it turns out to be a pretty decent movie. The story is way too familiar, which is one of its big drawbacks, but director […]Read On »

Kidd and Sonya Wilson; Part 2: Tim Kring and Rob Fresco Director: Part 1: Nelson McCormick; Part 2: Greg Beeman Network: Fox, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: May 31, 2012 The thing about TOUCH is that you get the feeling that this is the show HEROES could have been if Tim Kring (and/or his writers) hadn’t hooked into their darker sides. There’s a dark side to this show, what with the big, bad conspiracy by Aster Corps. to use Jake for its own purposes […]Read On »
