Network: Fox Original Telecast: November 30, 2011 THE X FACTOR did its second week of double eliminations during “The Top 7 Perform – Michael Jackson Tribute Week,” with one person who you expected to be booted off and another who was a complete surprise. The four people that made it through easily – Chris Rene, Melanie Amaro, Josh Krajcik, Rachel Crow. Then, came the automatic booting off of Astro. It was finally his time and surprisingly he was grateful, even as he was ushered off the stage (a complete about face from his attitude two weeks ago). This left Marcus […]Read On »

Network: Fox Original Telecast: November 30, 2011 I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. PLEASE put a moratorium on “Beatles” week and “Michael Jackson” week on these competition shows. It’s overdone. Yes, there’s a Michael Jackson Vegas Cirque du Soleil thing going on in Vegas right now, but do we really need to need more butchering of Jackson’s music? Thankfully, there weren’t a lot of obvious songs in the mix on this week’s THE X FACTOR which is now whittled down to The Top 7, but where was the singing? Once again Astro raps (yes, I get that’s all […]Read On »

Coleman Writers: Sherry Bilsing Graham, Helen Kreamer Director: Andy Ackerman Network: Fox, airs Wednesday nights Original Telecast: November 30, 2011 I did not have high hopes for I HATE MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER. The premise sounded unlikable and atrocious and  Fox hasn’t had much luck with traditional multi-camera sitcoms in decades. That said, the series took me completely by surprise. I’m not the ideal viewer of the show, but I found myself suckered in. The ensemble cast is quite good and there are some […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: Juliet Landau on DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN |
Juliet Landau in the stage production of DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA

Anyone who has been part of an acting class in the last three decades has probably encountered at least sections of John Patrick Shanley’s play DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA. Its emotion-filled confrontations and small cast make it ideal for scene study. Originally produced off-Broadway in 1984, the two-character drama concerns Danny and Roberta, two lonely and troubled people who meet in a bar in the Bronx, hook up and spend the next twenty-four hours deciding if they’d rather get closer, run away, or beat the hell out of each other. Actors Juliet Landau and Matthew J. Williamson and […]Read On »
