Back in the day, there were a lot more “woman in jeopardy” medium-budget thrillers and far fewer people questioned their underlying messages (unless the movies were made by someone like Alfred Hitchcock, in which case they were generally considered to be in some other genre). In 2015, though, when Jennifer Lopez stars in THE BOY NEXT DOOR, it’s hard not to have questions about exactly what’s being said here, especially when an end tag informs us that the story is based on real events. Lopez plays high school English teacher Claire Peterson, separated from her husband Garrett (John Corbett) for […]Read On »

Cast: Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, Kirk Acevedo, Noah Bean, Demore Barnes, Barbara Sukowa, Alisen Down Director: Jeffrey Reiner Network: Airs on SyFy, Fridays @ 9:00 P.M. Original Telecast: Jan. 17, 2015 The original 12 MONKEYS was a bit of an odd duck when it came to science fiction movies. Made in 1995, it involved a bleak view of the future where a virus of some sort had wiped out the human race and only a handful of people left remaining survive in terrible conditions barely getting by. Somehow, these few people managed to craft a way to send people back […]Read On »

Original telecast: Jan. 13, 2015 There is so much that I like about MARVEL’S AGENT CARTER that even some of the things I didn’t like about “Time & Tide” I can seem to look past. AGENT CARTER is the non-superhero, superhero show that we needed and should be airing rather than MARVEL’S AGENTS OF SHIELD that initially started as a non-superhero, superhero show when it should […]Read On »
