Stars: Jamie Campbell Bower, Joseph Fiennes, Eva Green, Claire Forlani Writer: Louise Fox & Chris Chibnall Director: Jeremy Podeswa Network: Starz, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 15th, 2010 I had someone complaining to me this week that they wanted CAMELOT to be more like SPARTACUS and less like THE TUDORS. I took offense to that since I really enjoy the series, and find it to be a nice balance of action, plot, and character to keep me interested and to keep the story moving forward at a nice pace. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love SPARTACUS, but I […]Read On »

Stars: Jeremy Irons, François Arnaud, Holliday Grainger, Colm Feore, David Oakes, Derek Jacobi, Joanne Whalley Writer: Neil Jordan Director: Simon Cellan Jones Network: Showtime, airs Sunday nights Original Telecast: April 10th, 2010 THE BORGIAS got off to such a promising start with the two hour premiere on Showtime, that I was a little bit concerned where the series would go from there. So much history involving the world’s “first” crime family still has to be covered, but it just depends on how writer Neil Jordan decides to tackle it. The third episode, “The Moor” still adds more pieces to the […]Read On »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – Season 6 – “My Heart Will Go On”

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, Samantha Ferris Director: Philip Sgriccia Writer: Eric C. Charmelo Network: The CW, airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 One of the things that cracks me up about SUPERNATURAL is that it either panders to its hardcore audience (mostly females) or loves to rub their face in the stuff they love. This week in “My Heart Will Go On” it was the latter as the show took as many jabs at James Cameron’s TITANIC as possible including a nasty swipe at Celine Dion. You’d think after the blockbuster events of the […]Read On »

TV Review: FRINGE – Season 3 – “Lysergic Acid Diethlamide”

Bell and Walter race to save Olivia in FRINGE - Season 3 - "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" | ©2011 Fox

Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole Director: Joe Chappelle Writers: Jeff Pinkner, J.H. Wyman, Avika Goldman Network: Fox, airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 This was certainly an interesting episode of FRINGE. A tripping Peter (Joshua Jackson), a tripping Broyles (Lance Reddick), cartoons, the Twin Towers, a dead fat guy doing a dance in a tub of ice, zombies, animated birds flying and bubbles were just some of the highlights. Yeah, the comedy was fast and furious, but it did the job in progressing the whole William Bell trapped in Olivia’s (Anna Torv) body. […]Read On »

Smith Director: Wendey Stanzler Network: The CW, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: April 14th, 2010 THE VAMPIRE DIARIES ramps up towards the season finale with the latest episode “The Last Dance” and everything heads towards a collision of monstrous proportions. So Alaric (Matt Davis) is now possessed by Klaus which is a curious thing. He possesses all of Klaus’ powers like compelling powers over others including other vampires, and he seems to have some extra strength. On […]Read On »

CD Review: DOCTOR WHO: SERIES 5 – Original Soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER 04/17/2011

Where some other hugely popular sci-fi series are basically stuck in time and space, DOCTOR WHO is blessed by its ability to jump all over the two in an English phone booth. That’s been a particular mitzvah to composer Murray Gold since he jumped aboard the TARDIS’ sassy reboot so many series ago. Now the CD hand strikes 5 with a two-disc compilation that continues to show off WHO scoring as the Gold standard when it comes to some of the most delightfully inventive TV scoring in any one’s universe, music that mostly packs a rambunctious sense of joy to […]Read On »

CD Review: MEGAFORCE soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER
MEGAFORCE Soundtrack | ©2011 Buysoundtrax

Sure there’s THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, but Barry Bostwick’s most outrageous exercise in retro-camp might just be 1982’s MEGAFORCE, a proto-G.I. JOE exercise in souped-up spandex do-gooding, blessed with extra oh-so ’80’s musical oomph by composer Jerrold Immel. Immel had the macho sound of TV scoring down with the likes of HARRY O and POLICE WOMAN when America’s first line of motorized defense came knocking at his studio in the tight-fitted form of Bostwick as “Ace” Hunter. Immel rose to the not-too-serious challenge with the rocking synth pads that any connoisseur of the decade’s action cheese would dig- “dated” […]Read On »

HENRYS CRIME poster | ©2011 Moving Pictures Film and Television

Rating: R Stars: Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga, James Caan, Peter Stormare, Bill Duke, Judy Greer, Fisher Stevens Writers: Sacha Gervasi & David N. White, story by Stephen Hamel and Sacha Gervasi Director: Malcolm Venville Distributor: Moving Pictures Film and Television/Mimran Schur Release Date: April 15, 2011 HENRY’S CRIME puts together two elements audiences don’t see every day: bank robbery and a stage production of Anton Chekhov’s THE CHERRY ORCHARD. The tone is gentle, slightly deadpan and droll and the pace is measured, starting slow, but delivering delightful results. Keanu Reeves plays Henry, a Buffalo, N.Y. toll booth operator gamely trying […]Read On »

TV Review: SMALLVILLE – Season 10 – “Kent”

Starring: Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman Writer: Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders from a story by Genevieve Sparling Director: Jeannot Szwarc Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 With five episodes left of the entire series run of SMALLVILLE, it looks like every episode is counting. With “Kent,” it turns out to be a particularly emotional and strong Season 10 entry that pays off the alternate universe story points we previously saw in “Luthor” where Clark Kent (Tom Welling) was raised by Lionel Luthor and became a super baddie. Clark Luthor (or AltClark […]Read On »

TV Review: BONES – Season 6 – “The Truth in the Myth”

By RACHEL REITSLEFF 04/15/2011
David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel in BONES - Season 6 - "The Truth in the Myth" | ©2011 Fox/Ray Mickshaw

Stars: David Boreanaz, Emily Deschanel, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley, Ryan Cartwright Writers: Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley Director: Chad Lowe Network: Fox, Thursdays @ 9 PM Airdate: April 14, 2011 On occasion, BONES resembles an older Fox series involving the FBI, namely THE X-FILES. One of the primary differences between the two shows is that on X-FILES, the explanation was almost always otherworldly, whereas on BONES, no matter how weird the clues, the culprit will turn out to be as human as the investigators. Even with this caveat (if it’s a spoiler to say […]Read On »
