Stars: Britt Robertson, Thomas Dekker, Shelley Henning, Phoebe Tonkin, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Louis Hunter, Natasha Henstridge, Gale Harold, Ashley Crow Writer: Andrew Miller, Based on the book by L.J. Smith Director: Liz Friedlander Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: September 15, 2010 So THE SECRET CIRCLE and the show right before it on The CW, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES seem to be a really good fit for each other. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone since they are both based on book series by L.J. Smith. THE SECRET CIRCLE was described to me as THE CRAFT the […]Read On »

The CW has a new series based on a series of books by novelist L.J. Smith and produced/show-run by Kevin Williamson, about secret supernatural goings-on in a small town. No, it’s not THE VAMPIRE DIARIES (which has all of those attributes, except newness, as it’s going into Season Three) – it’s THE SECRET CIRCLE. Brittany Robertson plays Cassie Blake, a young woman who is forced by tragedy to move back to her family’s home town, where she discovers that she and many of her new neighbors are witches, able to tap into innate magical powers. Thomas Dekker (TERMINATOR: THE SARAH […]Read On »

Stars: Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, Maya Rudolph Writer: Emily Spivey Director: James Griffiths Network: NBC, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: September 14, 2011 It’s been a tough road for NBC the last couple of years what with mergers and executive turnovers, but the new comedy UP ALL NIGHT could potentially turn things around. A clever comedy that’s hinged on a familiar concept (parents of a newborn must cope with their new baby-filled life) is elevated with the excellent casting of Christina Applegate and Will Arnett. Additionally it has the rich pedigree of former SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE writer Emily Spivey who […]Read On »

Stars: Hank Azaria, Kathryn Hahn, Mo Mandel, Al Madrigal, Natasha Leggero, Anthony Head, Joe Lo Truglio Writers: John Enbom & Chris Niel Director: Todd Holland Network: NBC, Wednesdays @ 9:30 PM Airdate: September 14, 2011 The U.S.networks continually make American versions of shows that do well in their home countries, with Great Britain being a favorite venue for acquiring fare for adaptation. On the successful end, there’s THE OFFICE. On the other end, there’s COUPLING. FREE AGENTS is somewhere on this scale, but it starts out with a lot of promise. Not only does it have a great cast, led […]Read On »

CD Review: Lindsey Buckingham – SEEDS WE SOW

By A.C. FERRANTE
Lindsey Buckingham - SEEDS WE SOW | ©2011 Buckingham Records

Distributor: Buckingham Records Suggested Retail Price: $9.99 When Lindsey Buckingham joined Fleetwood Mac in 1974 (with Stevie Nicks), the end result was a transformation of a rock solid band into a pop music powerhouse. Buckingham was an expert and visionary musical architect who had a vision that not even the band probably fully grasped at the time and his contributions resulted in some of the finest pop songs ever (I defy you no to start singing along to “Go Your Own Way” when it comes on the radio). While Buckingham still tours with Mac, the band hasn’t released a new […]Read On »

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT Season Six is over! Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr. is the official winner of AGT Season Six. With a huge parade of acts performing tonight so much was going on at times I forgot why we were there. Def Leppard, One Republic, and Jackie Evancho all sang their hearts out in a prelude to the big announcement. Def Leppard certainly proved that they are still one of the best heavy metal bands of all time. Rock on! Ironically, when the final four acts got the chance to perform with their favorite famous counterparts during the season finale, they […]Read On »

AMERICA’S GOT TALENT’s finals are finished! It’s all over. And now America will chose the winner of AGT Season Six. The last four acts have completed their AGT journey and now all they can do is wait ‘til tomorrow to see the results. Their destiny awaits them, although there is a really good chance that all four acts will win. Not necessarily the coveted AGT award, but an award to a fruitful and rewarding future of doing what they already do so very, very well. Sadly, it looks as though PopLyfe will be counting on just that tomorrow night. Their […]Read On »

After the first two episodes that were wildly uneven, Episode Three dubbed “Blood Vessels” finds the series almost finding the right balance between the horror and the comedy elements of the series. It even, potentially has a story happening that sort […]Read On »
