In USA’s NECESSARY ROUGHNESS, Wednesdays at 10 PM, psychotherapist Dan Santino (Callie Thorne) finds herself drawn into the world of professional sports when she’s asked to treat star wide receiver Terrence “T.K.” King, played by Mehcad Brooks. NECESSARY ROUGHNESS represents some job security for the Texas-born Brooks, who played the ill-fated Eggs on Season Two of HBO’s TRUE BLOOD. He then portrayed a lawyer in ABC’s THE DEEP END, which ran for thirteen episodes, and then played both the teen version and the adult version of a high school jock turned U.S. soldier in Afghanistan in MY GENERATION, which was […]Read On »

Finally, the Season 6 AMERICA’S GOT TALENT Semi Finals are here! Twelve acts performed on AGT tonight hoping for a shot at the finals. Five will go through tomorrow night and for the other seven the journey comes to an end for good. Most of the acts stepped it up and deemed themselves worthy of their semi finals placement. However, others botched it completely. In particular, Sandou Trio Russian Bar went way off the deep end with their act and practically threw away their chances of moving on in the competition. What were they thinking? They got to the semi […]Read On »

Surprisingly enough, that isn’t even touched on in the new episode “Past Imperfect.” There are elements of the evil Warehouse crew about in this episode, but they take a back seat to a re-visiting of Myka […]Read On »

The title of Syfy’s  Monday night series ALPHAS refers to individuals who have a variety of unusual mental abilities.

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER |

With scores often bordering on the impossibly lush and melodic, Roque Banos has been composing Hollywood-worthy scores in his Spanish homeland for the better part of thirteen years. And while the likes of the cop-mocking TORRENTE series, the dance rhythms of SALOME and the swashbuckling ALATRISTE are yet to be discovered outside of foreign score cineastes’ ears, Banos’ talents have nonetheless, and thankfully reached our shores with the boiling crime sound of Ben Kingsley’s SEXY BEAST and Christian Bale’s Theremin-inspired mental breakdown in THE MACHINIST. For a composer whose work sings with thematic elegance, Banos’ scores have also graced the […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Ryan Kwanten, Maeve Darmody, Patrick Brammall, Toby Schmitz, David Webb Writer: Leon Ford Director: Leon Ford Distributor: Indomina Releasing Release Date (U.S.): August 19, 2011 GRIFF THE INVISIBLE is liable to remind people of SUPER, KICK-ASS, SPECIAL, et al, in that it’s about a fellow in a superhero costume who wants to fight crime, but lacks superpowers. The movie is set in Australia and has two major twists. One, a la SPECIAL, is that Griff (Ryan Kwanten) believes he does have superpowers. The other really big twist is that, apart from the police worrying a little bit […]Read On »
