Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez Network:  Fox, airs Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Original Telecast: March 3, 2011 Not sure what I can say that I haven’t already said about the Top-24 performance on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL. Over the past two nights in my two reviews, I gave my opinion on who I thought America would choose (not who I want, but who they’d choose) including from the girls: Pia Toscano, Naima Adedapo, Thia Megia, Lauren Alaina and Ashthon Jones. From the boys: Jacob Lusk, James Durbin, Casey Abrams, Scotty McCreery and Stefano Langone. […]Read On »

CD Review: PUPPETMASTER: THE SOUNDTRACK COLLECTION Box Set(2,000 edition)

Wrapping up a year of stupendous box sets that were dedicated to the highfallutin’ likes of Alex North’s SPARTACUS, Dennis McCarthy’s ST- TNG and all that is Tim Burton and Danny Elfman, there’s something gleefully wrong about getting a five-disc set dedicated to the scores that have accompanied the films of Andre Toulon’s unstoppable marionette avengers- the figures who will likely be the most iconic creations of exploitation king Charles Band. Yet Blade, Pinhead, Leech Woman and their unstrung ilk have inspired worthy thrills from such composers as Richard Band, Jeff Walton, John Massari, Peter Bernstein and Robert Alpert, whose […]Read On »

Blu-ray Review: BAMBI – Diamond Edition

By CARL CORTEZ
BAMBI DIAMOND EDITION | © 2011 Walt Disney Home Entertainment

Suggested Retail Price: $39.99 Release Date: March 1, 2011 As modern day children’s films continually shoot for bigger, better and eye-strain inducing 3D, there’s something to be said for simplicity. BAMBI, the fifth full length animated film from Walt Disney Studios and originally released in 1942, has stood the test of time with its beautiful hand-drawn animation and the elegant beauty in creating a forest and woodland creatures that still resonate today. I’m not arguing that artistry doesn’t go into CGI animated features or even the occasional hand-drawn animated film that slips through the cracks -–but with Walt Disney (the […]Read On »

CD Review: THE YOUNG RIDERS soundtrack (1200 edition)

Whether it’s ROAR or THE CAPE, television has unabashedly turned every big screen hit from BRAVEHEART to BATMAN into show’s whose themes were just discernable enough to avoid legal outrage. Such was the case of this YOUNG GUNS-esque adventure that ran from 1989 to 1992. The concept here was to turn teen outlaws into equally hot Pony Express riders, whose saddles would be filled by the likes of Stephen Baldwin and Josh Brolin. Another growing talent would be John Debney, who was sowing his musical oats on such movie spin-off shows as FAME and POLICE ACADEMY before taking on RIDERS […]Read On »

CD Review: FIRST BLOOD soundtrack

FIRST BLOOD soundtrack | © 2011 Intrada Records

This might not be the first time that Jerry Goldsmith’s inimitable action score has been released, but it likely won’t get better than Intrada’s “ultimate” edition, whose two CD’s feature FIRST BLOOD’s original cues and composer-sequenced soundtrack album. While Goldsmith would grow with Rambo’s transformation into a muscle-packed fighting machine, perhaps none of the composers’ three scores for the series packed the vulnerability, and even dare say tenderness, of a character that started off as a killable human being. It doesn’t take long for this mournful trumpet and guitar compassion to give way to Goldsmith’s way with the gracefully pounding […]Read On »

Stars: Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Seacrest Network: Fox, airs Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays Original Telecast: March 2, 2011 So last night was a mixture of good and very bad on the greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL. But tonight the chicks are in the spotlight and as we have seen in the prior episodes, after you separate about five out of the men, the women have the most talent this year. So I am going in expecting big things and a much better overall performance from the ladies. Bah, you don’t care what else I say, so let’s get […]Read On »

By RACHEL REITSLEFF

Stars: Sam Witwer, Meaghan Rath, Sam Huntington, Mark Pellegrino, Gianpaolo Venuta, Alison Louder, Angela Galuppo, Vincent LeClerc Writers: Jeremy Carver & Anna Fricke Director: Jeremy Chechik Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: February 28, 2011 Ah, there it is. Like Aidan’s fang poking out from under his lower lip, the U.S. version of BEING HUMAN finally finds a personality of its own with a plot thread not seen (at least in the first season) of the U.K. version, as werewolf Josh is roped into going back home to see his parents. These loving, well-educated, upper-middle-class, politically correct folks think […]Read On »

TV Review: V – Season 2 – “Uneasy Lies the Hand”

Joel Gretsch and Elizabeth Mitchell in V - Season 2 - "Uneasy Lies the Hand" | ©2011 ABC/Jack Rowand

Stars: Elizabeth Mitchell, Morris Chestnut, Joel Gretsch, Logan Huffman, Laura Vandervoort, Morena Baccarin, Scott Wolf, Charles Mesure Writer: Cameron Litvack, Gregg Hurwitz Director: Jeff Woolnough Network: ABC, airs Tuesday nights Original Telecast: March 1, 2011 Maybe I’ve been wanting V to turn itself around so badly,  that I completely overlooked how campy it’s become. With “Uneasy Lies the Hand”, the show has somehow devolved into a silly soap opera with hokey dialogue, ridiculous reaction shots and a wholly unbelievable romantic hook-up that was worth it only to see Elizabeth Mitchell (who plays FBI agent Erica Evans) undressed and sporting a […]Read On »
