In the episode “The Prisoner in the Pipe,” their daughter […]Read On »

ABC’s freshman hit ONCE UPON A TIME, Sundays at 8 PM, is unlike anything else currently on television.

Due to the curse, the inhabitants have no memory of their former selves and don’t realize that […]Read On »

Orci and Matt Pitts Director: David Moxness Network: Fox, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 6, 2012 After last week’s monster-of-the week storytelling detour with the sluggish “Nothing As It Seems,” FRINGE returns to the backbone of its storytelling greatness with the excellent Lincoln (Seth Gabel) episode “Everything In Its Right Place.” After feeling shafted by Olivia (Anna Torv) forgetting any of the advances they made in their relationship, Lincoln feels it’s time he got […]Read On »

Cast: Ryan Seacrest, Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson Network: Fox, airs Wednesdays and Thursdays @ 8 p.m. Original Telecast: April 5, 2012 It was decision time once again on the world’s greatest karaoke competition, AMERICAN IDOL. But who was it? Well by now, you know that DeAndre Brackensick was given the boot from the show, leaving seven in the competition. But things aren’t looking good for Elise Testone and Hollie Cavanaugh who were also in the bottom three. Funny, I’ve been railing on DeAndre all year because I didn’t get what the judges loved so much about him. Glad […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Brian Geraghty, Alice Eve, Josh Peck Writer: Chris Sparling, story by David Brooks & Chris Sparling Director: David Brooks Distributor: IFC Midnight Release Date: April 6, 2012 At the beginning of ATM, we have genuine curiosity about what we’re seeing. By the end of the movie, we get an explanation and realize that there was the potential for a good thriller here. However, what we get in the middle is one of those horror thrillers where the main characters behave in such counter-intuitive ways that we lose patience with them. It’s a freezing cold night as an […]Read On »
