Most were able to adjust easily which again makes this season the most competitive in DANCING WITH THE STARS history. Six out of the nine couples are in the top three positions! And any of those six couples has a chance at winning. […]Read On »

LEGO STAR WARS III - THE CLONE WARS | ©2011 LucasArts

Rating: E10 Distributor: LucasArts Suggested Retail Price: $49.99 (Wii, PS3, XBOX),  $29.99 (PC, PSP, DS), $39.99 (Nintendo 3DS) One of the greatest contributions to the STAR WARS franchise was the creation of the LEGO STAR WARS video games. Taking the entire six films and re-creating the environments and storylines in a kid-friendly LEGO world was absolutely a work of genius. Addictive game play and a really heightened sense of the worlds George Lucas created made this one of the best video games of the last decade. Now, we’re treated to LEGO STAR WARS III: THE CLONE WARS which brings the […]Read On »

SCREAM 3 Blu-ray | ©2011 Lionsgate

Rating: R Stars: David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Patrick Dempsey, Scott Foley, Lance Henriksen, Matt Keeslar, Jenny McCarthy, Emily Mortimer, Parker Posey, Deon Richmond, Patrick Warburton Writer: Ehren Kruger Director: Wes Craven Distributor: Lionsgate Suggested Retail Price: $19.99 After two really good films, the SCREAM franchise took a huge nosedive with 2000’s virtually unwatchable SCREAM 3. A very lazy film (when you compare it to the ambitions screenwriter Kevin Williamson and Wes Craven were going for in SCREAM 2), SCREAM 3 is a hodge podge of unfunny comedy, crazy back story and very few actual scares. Williamson is nowhere […]Read On »

On ABC’s hit Monday night series CASTLE, currently in its third season and already renewed for a fourth, Nathan Fillion plays wealthy, successful mystery novelist Richard “Rick” Castle, who gains inspiration for his new heroine Nikki Heat by following around and helping, exasperating and flirting with NYPD detective Kate Beckett, portrayed by Stana Katic. CASTLE was created by Andrew W. Marlowe, who serves as show runner and executive producer (with Laurie Zaks). In this exclusive interview, we talk with Marlowe about all things CASTLE. ASSIGNMENT X: What was the genesis of CASTLE? ANDREW W. MARLOWE: Well, I was primarily a […]Read On »

CD Review: JANE EYRE soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER 04/09/2011
JANE EYRE soundtrack | ©2011 Sony

Such composers as Bernard Herrmann, John Williams and Richard Harvey have dared to see what lies hidden in the stone walls of Edward Rochester’s keep in the twenty and counting EYRE adaptations that have been done for film and television over the last ninety or so years. Now it’s Dario Marianelli’s turn to light the candle and venture through the dauntingly gloomy halls and wind-swept moors in this beautifully done, if somewhat still-life production that takes a more realistic approach to Charlotte Bronte’s now-eternal 1847 story of female oppression and empowerment. With the shining light radiating from Marianelli’s Oscar for […]Read On »

CD Review: SUCKER PUNCH soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER
Sucker Punch soundtrack | © 2011 WaterTower Music

Music has always been a driving force for Zack Snyder’s gloriously insane, slo-mo’d visual style and now it’s a fabulous female fighting force of the mind that transforms a standard collection of pop-rock-alt. hits into something as gloriously insane, and powerful as a giant sword-swinging samurai. It’s doubtful if the Eurythmics, Bjork, Grace Slick or The Beatles could imagine any slight cobwebs on their work being dunked into a blazingly cool remix firebath. What emerges from the transformed likes of “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This),” “Army of Me” and “White Rabbit” are mini rock operas with a new, electrifying […]Read On »

TANGLED - DVD and Blu-ray

Rating: PG Voices: Mandy Moore, Zachary Levi, Donna Murphy Writers: Dan Fogelman, based on the story by Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm Directors: Nathan Greno & Byron Howard Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures Disney has had a rough patch when it comes to their own homegrown animated films especially when they’re competing in-house with the magicians at Pixar (who, up until this point, can do no wrong). It’s been frustrating to watch Disney fumble the ball time and again, but thankfully with their 50th animated feature film TANGLED, they got it all right. Originally called RAPUNZEL, the film had the potential stigma […]Read On »

Movie Review: YOUR HIGHNESS

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN

Rating: R Stars: Danny McBride, James Franco, Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel, Justin Theroux, Charles Dance, Rasmus Hardiker, Toby Jones, Damian Lewis Writers: Danny McBride & Ben Best Director: David Gordon Green Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: April 8, 2011 YOUR HIGHNESS tries to straddle the treacherous territory between MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL and the original CLASH OF THE TITANS. As might be imagined, that’s an easier feat to describe than to accomplish. The ambitious task is hindered by the fact that the screenplay by star Danny McBride & Ben Best relies more on genital humor, homosexual panic and […]Read On »
