While accepting Dr. Donald A. Reed Award at the 37th Annual Saturn Awards presented to him by longtime collaborator Roland Emmerich, writer-director-producer Dean Devlin spoke with ASSIGNMENT X about  the fourth season of LEVERAGE (airing Sunday nights on TNT) and what to expect this summer. ASSIGNMENT X: “The 10 L’il Grifters Job” is such a great concept for a LEVERAGE episode … especially with the nod to Timothy Hutton’s dad Jim Hutton who played Ellery Queen [in the 1975 TV series of the same name]. DEAN DEVLIN: Everyone in that episode got to dress up as their favorite detective, so […]Read On »

CD Review: WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT / PUSSYCAT, PUSSYCAT, I LOVE YOU soundtrack (1,000 edition)

WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT / PUSSYCAT, PUSSYCAT, I LOVE YOU soundtrack |©2011 Quartet Records

After their superb release of THE KNACK, Quartet Records continues to go shagging in the ’60’s with this double-hander release of Burt Bacharach and Lalo Schifrin, both doing their swinging thing for the love revolution for WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT and its sequel PUSSYCAT, PUSSYCAT, I LOVE YOU. Where John Barry brought a fun, smooth jazz sophistication to Soho, these scores are all about pure, playful lechery. Next to turn Woody Allen into an unlikely woman killer with the aid of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass for CASINO ROYALE, Burt Bacharach is fully on his own for his first score […]Read On »

In TNT’s new series FALLING SKIES, the survivors of an alien invasion of Earth band together to fight the marauding extraterrestrials. Sometimes, dealing with fellow humans can be almost as challenging as battling the ETs, as evidenced by the interactions between teacher-turned-freedom fighter Tom Mason, played by Noah Wyle, and experienced soldier Captain Dan Weaver, played by Will Patton. The South Carolina-born Patton has appeared in a huge amount of feature films and television series, including NO WAY OUT, 24, THE CLIENT, VR.5, REMEMBER THE TITANS and THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES, as well as many stage roles. In person, the actor […]Read On »

CD Review: ZOMBI 2 / A CAT IN THE BRAIN soundtrack

ZOMBI 2 / A CAT IN THE BRAIN soundtrack | ©2011 Beat Records

Where rock fans stateside were grooving the progressive rock of groups like Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Italian horror auteurs were using the guitar and synth vibes for far bloodier ends. And if Dario Argento was linked at the hip to the rhythmic murder operas of Goblin in DEEP RED, SUSPIRIA and DAWN OF THE DEAD, than the infinitely gorier Lucio Fulci was joined in the intestine to the creepily mod sound of Fabio Frizzi for such infamously stylish splatterfests like THE BEYOND, CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD and MANHATTAN BABY. Now Beat Records has paired Frizzi’s scores from two movies […]Read On »

WAKING NIGHTMARES by Christopher Golden | ©2011 Ace Mass Market

Writer: Christopher Golden Price: $7.99 Publisher: Ace Mass Market Paperback Original Novelist Christopher Golden began the series collectively known as THE SHADOW SAGA with OF SAINTS AND SHADOWS, published in 1994. There has been a substantial gap between the fourth tome, 2003’s THE GATHERING DARK, and the present. Now Golden has brought forth a new installment, WAKING NIGHTMARES, which should appeal equally to fans of what has come before and readers plunging into this world for the first time. Peter Octavian is a former vampire and current wizard whose successful efforts to save the world have ironically led to a […]Read On »

That said, one of the biggest problem with the film is that  it’s a film clearly geared toward children but it has no idea of how to […]Read On »

  Stars: Becki Newton, Greg Grunberg, Constance Zimmer Writer: Colleen McGuinness Director: John Scott Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: July 7, 2011 I don’t envy the writers and producers of LOVE BITES – NBC’s summer anthology series about love, romance and other dysfunctional relationship woes. It has to be hard to come up with new characters, situations and scenarios every week and then wrap them around a common theme. With established series, you have regular characters and quirks to carry you through those weeks where nothing is working. Here, outside of three recurring lead (who usually end up […]Read On »
