On NBC’s new series THE BLACKLIST, Mondays at 10 PM, James Spader plays former Federal agent-turned-international criminal Raymond “Red” Reddington, who comes in from the cold and offers the FBI intelligence on all his crooked cohorts – but only if rookie FBI agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) is assigned to be his handler. No one knows why Red is so interested in Liz’s career, least of all Liz herself.

In Lifetime’s new series WITCHES OF EAST END, Sundays at 10 PM, Madchen Amick plays Wendy Beauchamp, one of the title characters. The playful Wendy, who has nine lives and can shapeshift into a black cat, senses danger for her more straitlaced sister Joanna (Julia Ormond).

ABOUT TIME movie poster | ©2013 Universal Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Domhnall Gleeson, Rachel McAdams, Bill Nighy, Lydia Wilson, Lindsay Duncan, Tom Hollander Writer: Richard Curtis Director: Richard Curtis Distributor: Universal Release Date: November 1, 2013 There are moments – long stretches, even – when ABOUT TIME seems as though it’s perhaps too pleasant for its own good. It’s always agreeable and amusing – except when for its effective moments of melancholy and there are the trials and travails of dealing with life and love and time travel, but mostly, it’s a movie that urges us to live as though every day is worth experiencing twice, which is […]Read On »

Rating: PG Stars (voices): Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, Amy Poehler, George Takei, Colm Meaney, Keith David, Jimmy Hayward Writers: Scott Mosier and Jimmy Hayward, story by David I. Stern & John J. Strauss Director: Jimmy Hayward Distributor: Relativity Media Release Date: November 1, 2013 On the surface, FREE BIRDS is one more animated feature about talking animals putting aside their differences to save themselves and each other – yes, at this point, it constitutes an entire genre. However, it’s hard to tell if the makers of FREE BIRDS are intentionally putting out messages here, or if the whole thing is […]Read On »

Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Zak Orth, Elizabeth Mitchell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito, Stephen Collins Writer: Paul Grellong Director: Steve Boyum Network: Airs on NBC, Wednesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Oct. 30, 2013 There were times during REVOLUTION’s latest episode, “Dead Man Walking,” that I had a familiar feeling that the show was once-again delving back into the old format of the eternal battle of a group of rebels taking up arms against a more powerful entity. That same formula that dragged down the show big time in the first season. However, the whole aspect of Monroe (David Lyons) finally […]Read On »

Stars: Donald Pleasence, Jamie Lee Curtis, P.J. Souls, Nancy Loomis Writer: John Carpenter and Debra Hill Director: John Carpenter Release Date: September 24, 2013 Distributor: Anchor Bay Suggested Retail Price: $34.99  At this point, the big question is, do we need another HALLOWEEN special edition? Every five years, there’s a new anniversary edition, and while there are improvements each time, is it worth shelling out another $30 bucks to own it? For people who don’t love Carpenter’s original, I would say, it’s probably not, but for fans, each time it comes out, I can’t help but getting another copy for […]Read On »

Paramount Pictures recently held the Los Angeles Premiere of JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Fans were across from where I was and the electronic press, besides lining the streets of Hollywood. Before the stars arrived girls dressed as Candy Stripers in a white and red uniforms carrying candy trays walked the carpet and gave none of us candy! Bringing out this beanbag-throwing thing with a hole in it the Candy Stripers entertained themselves throwing beanbags through the hole. These were set up in various places. Right before the stars and guests started to arrive […]Read On »
