SPECIAL AGENT OSO is the title of the popular Disney Junior cartoon. The show is named for its hero, a stuffed teddy bear – “Oso” is Spanish for “bear” – who works with U.N.I.Q.U.E. (the United Network for the Investigation of Quite Unusual Events). Oso’s assignments usually involve helping children in need. Sean Astin, who provides the voice of Oso (and is one of the series’ producers), is here to talk about SPECIAL AGENT OSO. He seems absolutely delighted by the performer who is walking around in a Special Agent Oso costume. “I just met my alter ego,” Sean marvels. […]Read On »

Did you ever hear the one about a bunch of horny kids heading out to a secluded, rustic getaway that will turn out to be anything but a vacation? Chances are you’re familiar with the now-hopelessly clichéd plots of horror pictures both brilliant and bad, the kind of movies whose characters always seem to be following some pre-ordained destiny of bad choices so they’ll fall into the blunt instruments, or jaws of redneck zombies, masked maniacs, werewolves, killer clowns and all of manner of Cthulu’s menagerie- of course to the strains of a relentlessly crashing orchestra. It’s exactly these well-worn […]Read On »

CD Review: STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY (2CD) soundtrack

After TREK V‘s search for God received a heretical box office response, WRATH OF KHAN director Nicolas Meyer was brought back into the captain’s chair to give the old cast a more fitting departure. Yet while it celebrated classic Trek to just about everyone’s content, THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY would also chance upon major new scoring talent in 27 year-old Cliff Eidelman, a composer who’d more than shown promise with the epic orchestral scores of MAGDALENE and TRIUMPH OF THE SPIRIT, as well as his character-oriented comedic work with CRAZY PEOPLE and DELIRIOUS. Given the chance of a scoring lifetime here, […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: Lara Pulver Talks the New Season of SHERLOCK

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN |

The literary figure Irene Adler lives up to her surname – she is the only woman ever to addle Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective Sherlock Holmes. With that sort of power, it’s no wonder the character turns up to bedazzle and bedevil Holmes in SHERLOCK, a contemporary take on the sleuth developed by writers/producers Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat for the BBC. Season Two begins nex Sunday, May 6, on PBS at 9 PM in the U.S. (Season Two previously ran on the BBC starting New Year’s Day). Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Martin Freeman as his companion, Afghan war veteran John Watson, soared […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE RAVEN

THE RAVEN | (c) 2012 Relativity Media

Rating: R Stars: John Cusack, Luke Evans, Alice Eve, Brendan Gleeson, Kevin R. McNally, Oliver Jackson-Cohen Writers: Ben Livingston & Hannah Shakespeare Director: James McTeigue Distributor: Relativity Media Release Date: April 27, 2012  There is a staple of detective police series, where some unhinged reader/viewer stages crimes described in fiction and/or film, and the author – after being ruled out as a suspect – is brought in to help with the investigation. This has been done relatively recently on BONES and CASTLE (both shows with mystery writer protagonists), the SCREAM movies, the Dirty Harry movie THE DEAD POOL, et cetera. […]Read On »

Movie Review: THE FIVE YEAR ENGAGEMENT

FIVE YEAR ENGAGMENT | © 2012 Universal Pictures

Rating: R Stars: Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Chris Pratt, Alison Brie Writer: Jason Segel & Nicholas Stoller Director: Nicholas Stoller  Distributor: Universal Studios Release Date: April 27, 2012 THE FIVE YEAR ENGAGEMENT is pretty much what you would (or have come to expect) from this particular niche of comedy. It’s almost like an R rated SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE…which is not really a comparison, but more of an origin for this type of romantic comedy. Certainly BRIDESMAIDS was a big part of the founding of this new off brand of adult comedy that pokes fun at being married, or getting married, […]Read On »

Recently in Hollywood, on a very hot day, 20th Century Fox held the World Premiere of THE THREE STOOGES at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre. If you remember the TV show THE THREE STOOGES, Larry, Curly and Moe were always finger-poking, nyuk-nyuking and woo-woo-wooing. The trend continues in this big screen release. THE THREE STOOGES, Sean Hayes (Larry), Will Sasso (Curly) and Moe (Chris Diamontopoulos) in costume, arrived in a Rickshaw to the screams of the fans that lined the street. After they got out of costume, Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamontopoulos came back down the carpet. Joining them […]Read On »

CD Review: SPEED (3,000 edition) soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER |
SPEED soundtrack | ©2012 La La Land Records

Few soundtrack labels have rejoiced in putting out the rhythmically trend-setting scores of the 80’s and 90’s like La La Land Records, their explosive beats including the killer calypso groove of James Horner’s COMMANDO, Hans Zimmer’s twangily propulsive BROKEN ARROW, Mark Mancina’s Afro-grooves in BAD BOYS and Michael Kamen’s orchestrally operatic ho ho ho’s for DIE HARD. If that soundtrack stands as the seminal action score of the 80’s, then it’s fitting that La La has marked their 200th release with the next decade’s landmark work of popcorn aggressiveness for a full-on edition of Mancina’s SPEED. Why should you buy […]Read On »
