Stars: Jason Issacs, Laura Allen, Dylan Minnette, Cherry Jones, Steve Harris, Wilmer Valderrama, BD Wong Writer: Howard Gordon & Evan Katz Director: Jeffrey Reiner Network: NBC, airs Thursday nights Original Telecast: March 15, 2012 I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical when when I heard about the premise to AWAKE and how it was going to be able to sustain itself, in two different realities, week after week. Yet, here we are in Week 3, and the show continues to stay on the right path. It’s complicated, complex, but thoroughly engaging with a plot device that brings its […]Read On »

With THE AVENGERS set to hit theaters on May 4 featuring Marvel’s greatest heroes together in one movie, the marketing machine is kicking into high gear with six brand new posters from the film.

Jackson) and The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), while Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) and even S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill (Cobie Smulders) gets some extra face time. Josh Whedon writes and directs […]Read On »

Interview: Cliff Curtis goes CIA on MISSING

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN
Cliff Curtis in MISSING - Season 1 | ©2012 ABC/Bob D'Amico

A mother in search of her kidnapped son can be formidable. A mother in that situation, who also used to be a CIA field agent, can be the proverbial unstoppable force. Certainly, that’s the case with Ashley Judd’s MISSING character Rebecca Winstone, who has raised her son Michael (Nick Eversman) alone ever since the death of Nick’s father, Rebecca’s husband and fellow CIA agent Paul Winstone (Sean Bean, see in flashbacks throughout the series). Naturally, the CIA isn’t too thrilled with the idea of one of their own, albeit retired, deploying her Agency skills around the globe. European station chief […]Read On »

At the end of “Doctor […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Willem Dafoe, Thomas Haden Church, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Bryan Cranston, Polly Walker, Daryl Sabara Writers: Andrew Stanton & Mark Andrews and Michael Chabon, based on the story “A Princess of Mars” by Edgar Rice Burroughs Director: Andrew Stanton Distributor: Walt Disney Pictures Release Date: March 9, 2012 There’s a very fine line in science-fiction/fantasy between playing it straight and lapsing into preposterous solemnity on one side and self-parody on the other. In this adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “A Princess of Mars,” director Andrew Stanton and […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: GAME CHANGE writer Danny Strong on Sarah Palin, politics and more

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN 03/09/2012

GAME CHANGE is an apt title for what happened in the 2008 election when John McCain, the Republican nominee for President of the United States of America, selected then-Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin as his running mate. Even people who see eye to eye on nothing else can agree that what followed was not quite like anything else that had ever happened on the national stage. The book GAME CHANGE by Time Magazine editor-in-chief Mark Halperin and political journalist John Heilemann encompasses the entire 2008 election, including the Democratic contest between then-Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The HBO film […]Read On »

TV Review: THE RIVER – Season 1 – “Doctor Emmet Cole”

Bruce Greenwood in THE RIVER - Season 1 - "Doctor Emmet Cole" | ©2012 ABC/Mario Perez

Stars: Bruce Greenwood, Joe Anderson, Leslie Hope, Eloise Mumford, Paul Blackthorne, Thomas Kretschmann, Daniel Zacapa, Shaun Parkes, Paulina Gaitan, Scott Michael Foster, Katie Featherston Writer: Michael Green Director: Michelle MacLaren Network: ABC, Tuesdays @ 9 PM Original Broadcast: March 7, 2012 It’s a complete shame what’s happened with THE RIVER. What started off as a promising and groundbreaking series as de-volved into an incredibly frustrating exercise in style over substance. Each week, there’s a promise of something big and major and each week, it ends up being a disappointment. Finally, a big mythology play happens with “Doctor Emmet Cole”. We […]Read On »

Exclusive Interview: THE RIVER star Paulina Gaitan goes bi-lingual

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN 03/06/2012
Paulina Gaitan in THE RIVER - Season 1 | ©2012 ABC/Bob D'Amico

Paulina Gaitan – pronounced GUY-tahn – was only nineteen years old when she filmed her role as the psychically attuned Jahel Valenzuela, daughter of the ship’s mechanic, in the ABC series THE RIVER, which airs Tuesdays at 9 PM. Although by now everyone involved in the expedition to find missing naturalist Emmet Cole (Bruce Greenwood) has a pretty good idea that deadly supernatural forces are involved, Jahel is the only one with real insight into the dangerous ways in which local mythology and reality come together. The now-twenty-year-old Gaitan, a native of Mexico City, has starred in a number of […]Read On »
