So pretty much the entire movie was new to me. I had a vague idea from my mother as to what the movie was about, but I had no clue as to the complete storylines of the book. I was completely sucked […]Read On »

Tyler Hoechlin and Jill Wagner in TEEN WOLF - Season 1 - "Formality" | ©2011 MTV

Stars: Tyler Posey, Crystal Reed, Dylan O’Brien, Tyler Hoechlin, Holland Roden, Colton Haynes, Linden Ashby, JR Bourne Writer: Monica Macer Director: Russell Mulcahy Network: MTV, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: August 8, 2011 The problem with having 12 episodes to tell a complex story is that some times 12 episodes isn’t enough. Ironically, there are many shows that have short seasons, some even shorter (eight and ten), that have no idea how to make those episodes count (even padding them with episodes that literally stop the story cold). Thankfully, that isn’t the case with TEEN WOLF – a series that’s […]Read On »

It’s more about the strategy of combat and little victories and less about full-out weekly alien/human war. After all, the series began AFTER the aliens had already wiped out most of earth with only a small […]Read On »

Currently in development are possible TV iterations of THE INCREDIBLE HULK and AKA JESSICA JONES. “We’re extremely excited about having Marvel in the fold,” says Lee. “With AKA JESSICA JONES and THE HULK, we hopefully have great choices to look at when they come around.” Lee also adds that he would be a hero to his kids if THE HULK works out. “If we got […]Read On »

CD review: BLACK DEVIL DOLL original soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER 08/06/2011

It’s one thing to take off old school musical exploitation, but it’s another to actually get the groove down to the point where you think you’ve just stumbled upon some beat-up soundtrack LP found under the seat of a filth-encrusted grindhouse theater, circa 1975 Times Square. While Adrian Young perfectly nailed this Blaxploitation vibe for BLACK DYNAMITE, Giallos Flame’s score for the infinitely more sordid BLACK DEVIL DOLL goes way beyond the Afro rhythms to completely nail the sound of Italo horror. Of course, with a name like that, or a credit list that includes MURDER SET-PIECES, PSYCHO HOLOCAUST and […]Read On »

CD review: HORRIBLE BOSSES soundtrack

HORRIBLE BOSSES soundtrack | ©2011 Madison Gate Records

Whether you’re a suave con artist, a trash-talking teen, or a harassed member of the man cave, there’s no better way to strut your stuff than with balls-out music- whether the stylings are the retro Vegas swing of OCEANS 11, SUPERBAD’s 70’s Motown funk or the blues rock of HORRIBLE BOSSES. Where that film’s composer may have played it cleverly cute for HOP’s Easter bunny in his last comedy score, it’s all about R-rated rhythmic raunch for BOSSES. With a grooving dream team consisting of such musicians as The Dave Matthews Band’s Stefan Lessard, Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready and frequent […]Read On »

TCA 2011: Fox addresses recent GLEE controversy, spin-off status and Season 3

With GLEE entering Season 3, controversy has dogged the Fox show in the last few weeks. Some of it stems with co-creator Ryan Murphy talking about writing three of the show’s primary leads off the show (Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith) at the end of this season by having them graduating, but failing to mention he was quietly developing a spin-off for them. It all blew up in everyone’s face, with tons of back-pedaling, and at today’s Summer 2011 Television Critics Association executive session, Fox Entertainment President Kevin Reilly spoke about it from the network perspective. “The public nature […]Read On »
