Showalter Network: The CW, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Airdate: October 8, 2013 Just in case any SUPERNATURAL fans were worried, rest assured that Season 9 gets off to a crazier than a bag of WINNIE THE POOH heffalumps and woozles, with Sam (Jared Padalecki), Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Castiel (Misha Collins) all having their own separate bizarre adventures. And wow, is Sam going to be angry (and – oh nooooo – probably sulky) […]Read On »

The Horseman was/is one of […]Read On »

CBGB | (c) 2013 XLrator Media

Rating: R Stars: Alan Rickman, Malin Akerman, Justin Bartha, Richard de Klerk, Johnny Galecki, Ashley Greene, Rupert Grint, Taylor Hawkins, Stana Katic, Donal Logue, Joel David Moore, Freddy Rodriguez, Mickey Sumner, Bradley Whitford, Josh Zuckerman, Peter Vack Writers: Jody Savin & Randall Miller Director: Randall Miller Distributor: XLrator Media Release Date: October 11, 2013 The movie CBGB is something like its depiction of club proprietor Hillel “Hilly” Krystal, played here by Alan Rickman. It is sweet-natured and a lot of fun, but would prefer not to sweat the small stuff. It’s not that CBGB is short on details – in […]Read On »

CD Review: WILLARD soundtrack

WILLARD soundtrack | ©2013 La La Land Records

Squeaking, clawing, skittering and doing the polka? These are but some of the musical approximations of being both rat and human screwball that Shirley Walker conjures in her beyond brilliant score for one of the last decade’s most unexpected cult pleasures. As an orchestrator for such macabre Danny Elfman efforts as BATMAN RETURNS and NIGHTBREED, Shirley Walker got to demonstrate a talent for black humor and eccentric orchestrations, seizing upon her abilities for the BATMAN animated series and the hilariously gore-licious FINAL DESTINATION series. It was that gross-out franchise’s creators Glen Morgan and James Wong who had the brilliant idea […]Read On »

Movie Review: CAPTAIN PHILLIPS

CAPTAIN PHILLIPS | (c) 2013 Columbia Pictures

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Tom Hanks, Barkhad Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahman, Faysal Ahmed, Mahat M. Ali, Michael Chernus, Corey Johnson, Max Martini, Chris Mulkey, Yul Vasquez, David Warshofsky Writer: Billy Ray, based on the book A CAPTAIN’S DUTY: SOMALI PIRATES, NAVY SEALS, AND DANGEROUS DAYS AT SEA by Richard Phillips with Stephen Talty Director: Paul Greengrass Distributor: Columbia Pictures Release Date: October 11, 2013 Even before Johnny Depp repeatedly set sail under the Disney flag, sea-going piracy in the popular imagination tends toward the sword-wielding, rum-swilling skull-and-crossbones proud individualists. Modern-day piracy is neither colorful nor romantic, but simply a scary, deadly business. […]Read On »

Movie Review: ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN |
ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE | (c) 2013 Radius-TWC

Rating: R Stars: Amber Heard, Anson Mount, Whitney Able, Michael Welch, Edwin Hodge, Aaron Himelstein, Luke Grimes, Melissa Price, Adam Powell Writer: Jacob Forman Director: Jonathan Levine Distributor: Radius-TWC Release Date: October 11, 2013 ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE turns out to be a movie with something on its mind. To say exactly what that is, however, risks spoiling the ending. Once we’re at the ending, there’s plenty to talk about. The movie is worthy of discussion – perhaps even thesis papers – but there’s no way of even implying why without examining it as a whole, which shouldn’t […]Read On »

It was revived in 1992, and now writers/producers Phil Klemmer & Greg Berlanti […]Read On »

Aaron (Zak Orth) runs for his life on REVOLUTION "Love Story" | (c) 2013 Felicia Graham/NBC

Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Zak Orth, Elizabeth Mitchell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito Writer: David Rambo Director: Helen Shaver Network: Airs on NBC, Wednesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Oct. 9, 2013 It is pretty safe to assume that whoever is claiming to be the U.S. government on REVOLUTION isn’t all that they are cracked up to be. In the amusingly titled “Love Story” we learn that the so-called government has been paying the crazy child molester turned cult leader, Titus, to scare the town of Texas where Rachel, Miles and crew have been holding up since after the bombs […]Read On »

Cast: Billy Burke, Tracy Spiridakos, Zak Orth, Elizabeth Mitchell, David Lyons, Giancarlo Esposito Writer: Paul Grellong Director: Phil Sgriccia Network: Airs on NBC, Wednesdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: Oct. 2, 2013 Well they have certainly have flipped the tables in the second season of REVOLUTION. Gone is the tired war between the rebels and the Monroe (David Lyons) militia and now we are seeing a variety of storylines going for multiple characters and shockingly, extremely shocking, they are all pretty good. First, who knew that a piece of pool tile could be so damn handy? But Monroe sure knew […]Read On »

CD Review: AFRICA soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER |
AFRICA soundtrack | ©2013 Silva Screen Records

Along with their DR. WHO soundtracks, Silva Screen has seemingly cornered the world market on the music of BBC nature documentaries. Where some of these entries dumbed down animal behavior into the stuff of Carl Stalling antics amidst more noble-minded orchestral grandeur, AFRICA‘s vast, stylistic continent shows why this is the land mass where two-legged intelligence began. Taking on thee task of chronicling every life form and landscape is Sarah Class, a composer whose documentary-filled resume understandably landed her the job with the likes of MYSTERY OF THE WOLF and THE MEERKATS There’s an exceptional level of writing, and elemental […]Read On »
