For a movie that’s about evolution, it’s fitting that Patrick Doyle, a composer once renowned for the classical orchestral sound of HENRY IV and DEAD AGAIN, would essentially turn himself into a master primate of the new Hollywood action sound- a similar jump up the blockbuster studio ladder that he took earlier this summer with THOR. But as with that thoroughly entertaining film and superhero score, the transfiguration of Doyle’s trademarked sound with pulsing electronic and orchestral rhythms is very much a good, if not pretty great thing, especially for the command and conquer goals of Caesar in RISE OF […]Read On »

Cast: John Getz, Frances McDormand, Dan Hedaya, Samm-Art Williams, M. Emmet Walsh Writers: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen Director: Joel Coen Distributor: MGM Home Entertainment Suggested Retail Price: $19.99 As the Coen Brothers have gained popularity over the years with their surprise hits FARGO, OH BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and TRUE GRIT, many forget they had humble beginnings in 1984 with their gem of debut BLOOD SIMPLE. A film noir homage mixed with their familiar dark humor, BLOOD SIMPLE shows the brothers Joel and Ethan Coen already firmly in control of their filmmaking identity. There’s crackling […]Read On »

Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Fiona Gubelmann, Dorian Brown, Chris Klein, Gabriella Pession Writers: Sivert Glarum & Michael Jamin, series created by Jason Gann & Adam Zwar, adapted for American television by David Zuckerman Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: September 1, 2011 In WILFRED, a lot of things are in flux a lot of the time, including everyone’s motives and emotions. That’s probably to be expected when the show is about a young man who sees his neighbor’s dog as an Australian fellow in a dog suit. It’s easy to accept that Wilfred (Jason Gann), […]Read On »

CD Review: BEING HUMAN soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER |
BEING HUMAN soundtrack | ©2011 Silva Screen Records

For this horror take on THREE’S COMPANY, a ghost, a vampire and a werewolf try their hand at co-habitation with results that would have made mincemeat out of Mr. Roper in the BBC series BEING HUMAN. Yet composer Richard Wells (EVIL ALIENS, THE MUTANT CHRONICLES) music goes a long way towards aurally convincing us of BBC’s oddball high concept, taking a straight-laced approach to this series’ growing supernatural friendship in Series 1 & 2, while also giving its ties that bind a particular mournfulness that comes with being undead. The cues within offer visceral shocks and eerie abstractness, while a […]Read On »

Dr. Zoidberg and the Professor in FUTURAMA - Season 6B - "Tip of the Zoidberg" | Futurama TM and ©2011 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. All Rights Reserved

Stars (voices): Billy West, Katey Sagal, John Di Maggio, Tress MacNeille, Maurice LaMarche Network: Comedy Central, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: August 18, 2011 Original, funny, and interesting, it seems like the writers heard our cry that we were fed up with the bland FUTURAMA versions of old classics.  This week, in “The Tip of the Zoidberg” they actually made up a storyline from scratch.  It’s also a great back story that explains a good deal, and does so with some hilarious lines. The show starts off with Dr. Zoidberg (voiced by Billy West) treating the crew of the Planet […]Read On »

Stars: Eddie McClintock, Joanne Kelly, Saul Rubinek, Genelle Williams, Allison Scagliotti, Aaron Ashmore, Jaime Murray, Ashley Williams Writer: Benjamin Raab & Deric A. Hughes  Director: Chris Fisher Network: Syfy, Mondays @ 9 PM Airdate: August 29, 2011 With only 3 episodes left of the season past this point, WAREHOUSE 13 definitely raises the stakes this week with, “The 40th Floor.” The whole subplot with the anti-Warehouse squad seems to be boiling to a head that is just about to completely explode. Sally Stukowski (Ashley Williams) at the point the episode starts has been kidnapping Regents, (the overseers of Warehouse 13…think […]Read On »

Mark Sheppard is one of television’s reigning kings of returning characters. As CW’s SUPERNATURAL fans know, Sheppard’s character Crowley was also King of Hell for awhile, though he got demoted and then almost smote when angel Castiel (Misha Collins) ascended to godhood in the Season Six finale. The London-born Sheppard will be back in SUPERNATURAL’s upcoming seventh season and recently returned as Jim Sterling in the summer finale LEVERAGE. Right now, though, he’s talking about Crowley, who started out as a Crossroads Demon – or did he? The British-born Sheppard has some interesting theories about this – but he’s wary […]Read On »
