After one and a half seasons on GLEE, actress Dianna Agron her life has become a well-oiled machine. Playing Quinn, the former head Cheerio, her character has been pregnant, lost her high school love, found her voice, lost her latest high school love and is now back to being an emotionally conflicted teenager. Agron has been enjoying all facets of the GLEE workout – singing, acting, dancing – and even managed to work in a movie (I AM NUMBER FOUR, currently in theaters) during her summer hiatus from the show. With her time so tight, ASSIGNMENT X caught up with […]Read On »

Stars: David Lyons, Keith David, Summer Glau, James Frain, Jennifer Ferrin, Ryan Wynott, Dorian Missick, Martin Klebba, Tom Noonan, Glenn Fitzgerald, Ileana Douglas Writers: Toni Graphia & Robbie Thompson Director: Roxann Dawson Network: NBC, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: February 21, 2011 In the first episode of THE CAPE’s two-parter “The Lich,” the creative team tried a bit too hard for Thirties-style creepiness and wound up with something that didn’t quite work. In the second half, writers Toni Graphia & Robbie Thompson and director Roxann Dawson go instead for ALICE IN WONDERLAND-esque trippiness, with better results. The trippiness is mostly […]Read On »

TV Review: CHUCK – Season 4 – “Vs. The Masquerade”

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez, Vic Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Bonita Friedericy Writers: Rafe Judkins, Lauren LeFranc Director: Patrick Norris Network: NBC, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 21, 2011 First off, it’s nice that CHUCK hasn’t completely abandoned the Alexei Volkoff (Timothy Dalton) Big Bad storyline that wrapped up with “The Push Mix” a few weeks ago. Given there is still half a season to go, to send off Volkoff to prison without a fight (or some other kind of twist) would be unfair to say the least. With […]Read On »

TV Review: THE CHICAGO CODE – Season 1 – “Gillis, Chase and Baby Face”

Stars: Delroy Lindo, Billy Lush, Matt Lauria, Jennifer Beals, Jason Clarke, Devin Kelley and Todd Williams Writers: Davey Holmes Director:  Guy Ferland Network: Fox, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 21, 2011 I didn’t expect THE CHICAGO CODE to stay on the creative high of its first two episodes, so the good, not great,  “Gillis, Chase and Baby Face” was no surprise. However, it doesn’t mean the episode didn’t deliver. It’s a solid hour, better than most procedurals – I’ll give it that. However, when you’re trying to establish an over-riding arc that’s going to linger throughout the season, there […]Read On »

Stars: Lucy Lawless, John Hannah, Peter Mensah, Dustin Clare, Jaime Murray Writer: Brent Fletcher, Created by Steven S. DeKnight Director: John Fawcett Network: STARZ, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: February 18th, 2010 This is the next to last episode of SPARTACUS: GODS OF THE ARENA, and it is appropriately named “Reckoning”. Everything has been building towards this episode where it really hits the fan (appropriate since this is almost the end of the series). I called it a few episodes ago, that Titus (Jeffrey Thomas) coming back to the House of Batiatus to act as the head of the household, […]Read On »

TV Review: SUPERNATURAL – SEASON 6 – “Mannequin 3: The Reckoning”

Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Jim Beaver, Misha Collins Writers: Eric. C. Charmelo, Nicole Snyder Director: Jennot Szwarc Network: The CW, airs Fridays Original Telecast: February 18, 2010 I mean really, what other show, besides SUPERNATURAL could get away with the title of this week’s episode of “Mannequin 3: The Reckoning”? I wonder how many viewers of the show, and for the matter readers of this article, realize that MANNEQUIN was a terrible ’80s movie starring Andrew McCarthy and a young Kim Cattrall. It scared the crap out of me. No, not because it is a horror movie (in fact, […]Read On »

Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole Writers: Glen Whitman, Robert Chiapetta Directors: Thomas Yatsko Network: Fox, airs Fridays Original Telecast: February 18, 2010 “Ghosts, that’s where you draw the line?” – Peter (Joshua Jackson) on FRINGE “6B” Is love strong enough to cross universes? Can one husband from one universe and one wife from another be in the exact same time having lost their partners and then somehow cross the streams to see each other? That was the idea behind “6B” on FRINGE this week, another relatively non-eventful creature-of-the-week episode, however, essential in mending the […]Read On »

As the months and episodes keep ticking to the finale of SMALLVILLE after ten seasons, the show continues to explore what it takes to get Clark Kent (Tom Welling) to transform from mild-mannered farmboy to Man of Steel. While at this winter’s CW TCA session, ASSIGNMENT X caught up with SMALLVILLE executive producer Brian Wayne Peterson to chat about the show’s forthcoming end and get some teases about what’s to come. [Note, this interview was conducted before the series returned from winter hiatus and before it was recently announced that Michael Rosenbaum was going to return as Lex Luthor for […]Read On »

Movie Review: UNKNOWN

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN
UNKNOWN movie poster | ©2011 Warner Bros.

Rating: R Stars: Liam Neeson, Diane Kruger, January Jones, Aidan Quinn, Bruno Ganz, Frank Langella Writers: Oliver Butcher & Stephen Cornwell, based on the novel by Didier van Cauwelaert Director: Jaume Collet-Serra Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: February 18, 2011 Director Jaume Collet-Serra helmed 2009’s ORPHAN, which had a truly “Holy bananas!” plot twist that was fairly unforeseeable. UNKNOWN likewise hinges on a big plot twist and, although this one is easier to guess before it is revealed, it’s also a better movie. This is largely because UNKNOWN is a perfectly decent action thriller even once we and our hero […]Read On »

Caruso Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures Release Date: February 18, 2011 Stop me if you’ve heard this: super-powered teenager attends high school and tries to pass for normal, but a combination of human and otherworldly forces cause the teen’s otherness to surface. In terms of the spine of I AM NUMBER FOUR, you can skip past CARRIE and jump straight to SMALLVILLE, especially […]Read On »
