When GRIMM’s second season was nearing its conclusion, things were looking up for Portland, Oregon veterinarian Juliette Silverton, played by Bitsie Tulloch. After a long bout of amnesia about her boyfriend, police detective Nick Burkhardt (played by David Giuntoli), Juliette recovered her memories and found out that the secret Nick had been keeping from her was that he’s a Grimm – someone who can see and must sometimes combat Wesen, fairytale creatures who can look human but have hidden identities and appearances. Juliette also recovered from her sexual obsession with Nick’s police captain, Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz), who is half-supernatural […]Read On »

Kelly Hu as China White in ARROW "Identity" | (c) 2013 Jack Rowand/The CW

Stars:  Stephen Amell, Katie Cassidy, Paul Blackthorne, Susanna Thompson, Colin Salmon, Willa Holland, David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards, Manu Bennett, Colton Haynes, Celina Jade, Summer Glau Writer: Ben Sokolowski & Beth Schwartz Director: Nick Copus Network: The CW, airs Wednesday Nights Original Telecast: October 16, 2013 I’m starting to think that ARROW’s creators hosted some focus groups at the end of last season and the fact that their show’s hero actually shoots people with arrows went over pretty poorly with test audiences in Grand Rapids or something.  Generally I’m supportive of their decision to tone down Oliver Queen’s (Stephen Amell’s) […]Read On »

Ali, Michael Chernus, Corey Johnson, Max Martini, Chris Mulkey, Yul Vasquez, David Warshofsky Writer: Billy Ray, based on the book A CAPTAIN’S DUTY: SOMALI PIRATES, NAVY SEALS, AND DANGEROUS DAYS AT SEA by Richard Phillips with Stephen Talty Director: Paul Greengrass Distributor: Columbia Pictures Release Date: October 11, 2013 Even before Johnny Depp repeatedly set sail under the Disney flag, sea-going piracy in the popular imagination tends toward the sword-wielding, rum-swilling skull-and-crossbones proud individualists. Modern-day piracy is neither colorful nor romantic, but simply a scary, deadly business. […]Read On »

Stars: Michael Sheen, Lizzy Caplan, Beau Bridges, Caitlin FitzGerald, Nicholas D’Agosto, Teddy Sears Writer: Michelle Ashford, series created by Michelle Ashford, based on the nonfiction book by Thomas Maier Director: John Madden Network: Showtime, Sundays @ 10 PM Original Airdate: September 29, 2013 There’s a nice duality in the title of MASTERS OF SEX.

Johnson (Lizzy Caplan), who were real-life pioneers in researching and writing about human sexuality. Then there’s Masters himself, who is “of Sex” the way, say, the […]Read On »

CD Review: DESPICABLE ME 2 and THE SMURFS 2 soundtracks

By DANIEL SCHWEIGER 09/29/2013
DESPICABLE ME 2 soundtrack | ©2013 Universal Records

Perhaps there’s just a natural, festive spirit of his country’s carnival celebrations that’s in the musical genes of Brazilian composer Heitor Pereira. Rapidly making a name for himself in family-friendly scoring, Pereira’s work for the likes of CURIOUS GEORGE, BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA and THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD comes across as being just plain “nice” in the most fun, melodic description of that word as possible – especially when dealing with a cartoon supervillain on the mend, or munchkins with playfully bad attitudes for two sequel scores that actually improve on Pereira’s original, bouncy work. Having shown sympathy for Mr. […]Read On »
