Stars: Jamie Campbell Bower, Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Claire Forlani Writer: Sarah Phelps & Terry Cafolla Director: Stefan Schwartz Network: Starz, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 29th, 2010 “Justice” is an interesting episode of CAMELOT. It’s one of the first times we get to see King Arthur (Jamie Campbell Bower) rule without the counsel or advice of Merlin (Joseph Fiennes). Since Merlin has returned from his journey to fetch the king a new sword, and used his magic which cost the lives of both the swordsmith and his daughter; he’s gone a bit round the bend. This is the […]Read On »

On Fox’s FRINGE, which has its third-season finale tonight at 9 PM – it will be back for a fourth season – the agents of the government’s Fringe Division answer to Lance Reddick’s stern but humane Phillip Broyles. This has been true both in our own universe and the alternate universe, although alternate Broyles perished helping this world’s Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) escape the government and get back home. Baltimore, Maryland native Reddick (previously a regular on THE WIRE and Matthew Abbadon on LOST) says he’s been having a great time as both Broyles, something he elaborates on in this […]Read On »

Stars: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder Writer: Caroline Dries & Mike Daniels, Developed by Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec, Based on the book by L.J. Smith Director: Paul M. Sommers Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: May 5th, 2010 There’s one more episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, but this really felt like a season finale to me. The writers are going the way of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER season four, and the last episode will probably be a resolution episode from all of the fallout of this season. “The Sun Also Rises” is a well-crafted episode that […]Read On »

Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson Network: Fox, Airs Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Telecast: May 5, 2011 Last night, I posed the question if anything could prevent Jacob Lusk from going home this week on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL. The answer is no. As he was sent home finally after being in the bottom three for the past three or four weeks on the show. It was only a matter of time in my opinion as there was a reason he was in the bottom for a number of weeks – he had gotten […]Read On »

Stars: Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, Ian Somerhalder Writer: Andrew Chambliss & Brian Young, Developed by Kevin Williamson & Julie Plec, Based on the book by L.J. Smith Director: J. Miller Tobin Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: April 28th, 2010 The latest episode of THE VAMPIRE DIARIES has such a CRASH, BOOM, BANG ending I was blown away with the amount of danger they could put almost every character in. “The Last Day” doesn’t even bother with getting up a head of steam as it races the series and the characters towards the inevitable confrontation with Klauss (Joseph […]Read On »

Writer: Trey Parker Director: Trey Parker Network: Comedy Central, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: May 4, 2011 Every once and awhile, SOUTH PARK will tackle a topic that just doesn’t quite hit the mark and “Funnybot” is one of them. When the Jimmy and the special education class put on the 1st Annual Comedy Awards, trouble erupts when Germany is named the least funny people. They get so incensed, they build a robot that tells vulgar jokes to prove the world wrong. Of course, the robot is terrible, but everyone loves him anyway, until it decides the biggest joke on […]Read On »

TV Review: AMERICAN IDOL – Season 10 – “The Top 5 Perform”

AMERICAN IDOL: Final 5: Clockwise from top L: James Durbin, Lauren Alaina, Jacob Lusk, Scotty McCreery and Hayley Reinhart | ©2011 Fox/Michael Becker

Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson Network: Fox, Airs Wednesdays and Thursdays Original Telecast: May 4, 2011 Who is in it to win on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL? So Randy Jackson just loves to repeat the same crap over and over again. I know, you’re shocked. You’ve never heard that before, I’m sure. The first couple of seasons it was all about “pitchy.” Later, it was “dawg” and “keeping it real” and “yo yo yo.” This season it is “Who is in it to win it!?” My God, if I hear him say it […]Read On »

CD Review: HANNA original soundtrack by The Chemical Brothers

HANNA original soundtrack | ©2011 The Chemical Brothers

It’s appropriate that a killer kid who represents the feared future of America’s fighting forces also is given a beat by The Chemical Brothers (aka Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons), the industrial-electronica trance band whose pernicious influence on such rock chord n’ computer bleep scores represent all that’s unholy about the future of movie scoring to old-school score fans. So it’s almost a small wonder that it’s taken the duo this long to do their first true movie score with HANNA, not that much of it truly hits to picture anyway. Yet this wash of beats and atmospheres is completely […]Read On »
