Cast: Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver, Samantha Ferris Director: Philip Sgriccia Writer: Eric C. Charmelo Network: The CW, airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 One of the things that cracks me up about SUPERNATURAL is that it either panders to its hardcore audience (mostly females) or loves to rub their face in the stuff they love. This week in “My Heart Will Go On” it was the latter as the show took as many jabs at James Cameron’s TITANIC as possible including a nasty swipe at Celine Dion. You’d think after the blockbuster events of the […]Read On »

Bell and Walter race to save Olivia in FRINGE - Season 3 - "Lysergic Acid Diethylamide" | ©2011 Fox

Cast: Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole Director: Joe Chappelle Writers: Jeff Pinkner, J.H. Wyman, Avika Goldman Network: Fox, airs Fridays Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 This was certainly an interesting episode of FRINGE. A tripping Peter (Joshua Jackson), a tripping Broyles (Lance Reddick), cartoons, the Twin Towers, a dead fat guy doing a dance in a tub of ice, zombies, animated birds flying and bubbles were just some of the highlights. Yeah, the comedy was fast and furious, but it did the job in progressing the whole William Bell trapped in Olivia’s (Anna Torv) body. […]Read On »

The Dork Side: Donald Trump is not running for president (we hope)

I don’t believe that Donald Trump is really running for president. If he was he would have already launched a reality show in which people compete to be his running mate. I think we can all agree that Gary Busey would totally win that one. Still, when people talk about Donald Trump running for president I cringe. Why? Because people are saying they would actually vote for him. Normally, something this ridiculous would make me laugh out loud like the time my friend tried to convince me that McDonald’s oatmeal is healthy – except I live in the state that […]Read On »

In HBO’s eagerly anticipated new series GAME OF THRONES (which debuts tonight), based on George R.R. Martin’s novels about the mythical land of Westeros, many clans vie for power in a medieval setting – the Lannister family is among the most dominant forces in the story. Peter Dinklage plays Tyrion Lannister, one of that bloodline’s complex scions. Dinklage talks with us about his adventures in Martin’s fantastical yet oh-so-human terrain. ASSIGNMENT X: Were you a fan of George R.R. Martin’s books before you become involved? PETER DINKLAGE: Yeah. I read the first one and I loved it, and that was […]Read On »

CD Review: DOCTOR WHO: SERIES 5 – Original Soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER |
DOCTOR WHO: SERIES 5 soundtrack | ©2011 Silva Screen Records

Where some other hugely popular sci-fi series are basically stuck in time and space, DOCTOR WHO is blessed by its ability to jump all over the two in an English phone booth. That’s been a particular mitzvah to composer Murray Gold since he jumped aboard the TARDIS’ sassy reboot so many series ago. Now the CD hand strikes 5 with a two-disc compilation that continues to show off WHO scoring as the Gold standard when it comes to some of the most delightfully inventive TV scoring in any one’s universe, music that mostly packs a rambunctious sense of joy to […]Read On »

CD Review: MEGAFORCE soundtrack

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER |
MEGAFORCE Soundtrack | ©2011 Buysoundtrax

Sure there’s THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, but Barry Bostwick’s most outrageous exercise in retro-camp might just be 1982’s MEGAFORCE, a proto-G.I. JOE exercise in souped-up spandex do-gooding, blessed with extra oh-so ’80’s musical oomph by composer Jerrold Immel. Immel had the macho sound of TV scoring down with the likes of HARRY O and POLICE WOMAN when America’s first line of motorized defense came knocking at his studio in the tight-fitted form of Bostwick as “Ace” Hunter. Immel rose to the not-too-serious challenge with the rocking synth pads that any connoisseur of the decade’s action cheese would dig- “dated” […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga, James Caan, Peter Stormare, Bill Duke, Judy Greer, Fisher Stevens Writers: Sacha Gervasi & David N. White, story by Stephen Hamel and Sacha Gervasi Director: Malcolm Venville Distributor: Moving Pictures Film and Television/Mimran Schur Release Date: April 15, 2011 HENRY’S CRIME puts together two elements audiences don’t see every day: bank robbery and a stage production of Anton Chekhov’s THE CHERRY ORCHARD. The tone is gentle, slightly deadpan and droll and the pace is measured, starting slow, but delivering delightful results. Keanu Reeves plays Henry, a Buffalo, N.Y. toll booth operator gamely trying […]Read On »

In CBS’s new Friday-night fairly lighthearted action series CHAOS, a team of four CIA agents often buck their bureaucratic bosses in order to cut through the red tape and just save people who need saving. Tim Blake Nelson (O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU?, SYRIANA, THE INCREDIBLE HULK as an actor, THE GREY ZONE as writer/director) plays Casey Malick, the group’s sarcastic “human weapon,” who has the fighting skills of Ethan Hunt, a ninja and River Tam all rolled into one average-looking guy. Nelson talks to ASSIGNMENT X about playing an Agency battler, plus his other current projects. ASSIGNMENT X: Does […]Read On »

TV Review: SMALLVILLE – Season 10 – “Kent”

By DON E. PETERSON |

Starring: Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, Cassidy Freeman Writer: Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders from a story by Genevieve Sparling Director: Jeannot Szwarc Network: The CW, airs Friday nights Original Telecast: April 15, 2011 With five episodes left of the entire series run of SMALLVILLE, it looks like every episode is counting. With “Kent,” it turns out to be a particularly emotional and strong Season 10 entry that pays off the alternate universe story points we previously saw in “Luthor” where Clark Kent (Tom Welling) was raised by Lionel Luthor and became a super baddie. Clark Luthor (or AltClark […]Read On »
