Stars: Patrick Duffy, Brenda Strong, Linda Gray, Josh Henderson, Jesse Metcalfe, Jordana Brewster, Julie Gonzalo Writer: Robert Rovner Director: Jesse Bochco Network: TNT, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: March 25th, 2013 Explosive is more than one way to describe this week’s DALLAS episode “Guilt and Innocence.” Relationships implode while Ewing Enterprises is severely damaged by the destruction that almost cost the lives of many and put the lives of Pamela’s (Julie Gonzalo) and Christopher’s (Jesse Metcalfe) babies in harm’s way. Oh, but that isn’t half of it. The drama heats up between Harris (Mitch Pileggi) and his mother (Judith Light) […]Read On »

Stars: Nathan Fillion, Stana Katic, Susan Sullivan, Molly Quinn, Tamala Jones, Seamus Deaver, Jon Huertas, Penny Johnson Jerald Writer:  Terencce Paul Director: Rob Bowman Network: ABC, Monday nights, 1o p.m. Original Telecast: March 25, 2013 “The Wild Rover” starts out as your standard CASTLE episode, with light-hearted banter between Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic), a weirdly positioned stiff and the usual odd clues. But it quickly turns into something really extraordinary – namely CASTLE at it’s best. The victim is a cupcake baker found shot to death in a mixing bowl of his batter. But, lo, there’s a magic briefcase filled with $50,000 […]Read On »

On NBC’s Eric Kripke-created/Kripke and J.J. Abrams-produced REVOLUTION, the world has been without electricity for fifteen years now, which has wrought dramatic changes in the social structure.

However, Tom does have a very warm […]Read On »

On THE FOLLOWING, on Fox Monday nights at 9 PM, escaped serial killer and cult leader Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) takes pleasure in terrorizing, manipulating, destroying and otherwise playing with others, especially FBI consultant Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon). However, there is one person Joe desperately wants to believe the best of him – his eight-year-old son Joey, played by Kyle Catlett.

Gimple Director: Greg Nicotero Network: AMC, airs Sunday nights  Original Telecast: March 24, 2013 Well, THE WALKING DEAD does it once again. It manages to take a very important death and totally make it worth it, while making it heart-wrenching and heart-felt all in one. “This Sorrowful Life” is a superb episode written by Scott M. Gimple (who takes over as showrunner from Glen Mazzara next season) and directed by co-executive […]Read On »

TV Review: GLEE – Season 4 – “Guilty Pleasures”

  Writer: Russel Friend & Garrett Lerner Director: Eric Stoltz Network: Fox, airs Thursdays Original Telecast: March 24, 2013 Let’s just face it – GLEE is running on fumes. Story has become secondary, almost arbitrary and now the show feels like it only exists to sell songs and CDs. The storylines have become ridiculous during the second half of the season, the transition with the graduating glass (most of them conveniently enough in New York) and the remaining McKinley High students has been awkward and the characters continue to do things that make no sense whatsoever (Finn kissing Emma, huh?).

CD Review: GLADIATOR soundtrack

Jerry Goldsmith was arguably the greatest composer to hit Hollywood. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t capable of producing delightful cheese as much as he was a true masterworks. Case in point is his score for 1992’s GLADIATOR, an inner city boxing melodrama long forgotten in the wake of the Russell Crowe picture whose stakes were life and death. In this case, it was a TKO for Goldsmith when ROADHOUSE director Rowdy Herrington kicked his score to the curb in favor of Brad Fiedel, a composer whose electronic abilities were likely more “with it” than the veteran musical fighter. Yet […]Read On »

CD Review: HOUSE OF CARDS soundtrack

Though he’s relatively young, it seems that composer Jeff Beal has been at TV series like FAMILY LAW, ROME, UGLY BETTY and MONK with the entrenched dependability of a continuously elected senator. If that’s an apt metaphor, then it’s no wonder that HOUSE OF CARDS just might end up being Beal’s biggest hit in the medium- even if the “network” it’s on happens to be Netflix. You might also find it hard to believe that the English came up with the idea first for such a distinctly American show about a devious politician out to step up the broken ladder […]Read On »

Even by the extreme standards of outrageousness in rock ‘n’ roll history, Phil Spector’s story stands out – the man went from visionary record producer to murder suspect accused of killing his girlfriend, Lana Clarkson. David Mamet has written, produced and directed the HBO drama PHIL SPECTOR, which premieres Sunday at 9 PM. Starring Al Pacino as Spector and Helen Mirren (who took over the role when Bette Midler had to stop one week into filming due to health problems) as his attorney Linda Kenney Baden, the film deals with Spector’s first murder trial. Speaking to the press at the […]Read On »
