SEAL TEAM, now in its third season Wednesday nights on CBS, follows the adventures of the heroic U.S. Navy SEAL Bravo Team, under the command of Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz). Former real-life Daleville, Indiana police officer Justin Melnick plays Brock, Bravo Team’s canine handler. This is Melnick’s first series role. It’s often said that Hollywood careers are built on who you know. In Melnick’s case, he got the part because of his dog Dita, a female Belgian Malinois who plays Cerberus. Cerberus, Melnick explains, is “a male dual-purpose Belgian Malinois that specializes in explosive detection and human apprehension.” Melnick and […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Ben Platt, Mena Massoud, Damian Lewis, Nina Dobrev, Scott Speedman, Jennifer Ehle Writer: Ricky Tollman Director: Ricky Tollman Distributor: Quiver Distribution Release Date: March 6, 2020 RUN THIS TOWN is an oddly structured piece that is, and yet is not, about a real-life political scandal. Set in 2013, the film, written and directed by Ricky Tollman, broadly concerns the downfall of Toronto, Canada mayor Rob Ford (played here by an unrecognizable Damian Lewis). Tollman tells the story partly from the point of view of rookie reporter Bram (Ben Platt) and partly from that of one of Ford’s […]Read On »

9-1-1: LONE STAR follows emergency services workers in Austin Texas. The 9-1-1 spinoff wraps up its first season on Monday, March 9.

THE INVISIBLE MAN Movie Poster | ©2020 Universal Pictures/Blumhouse

Rating: R Stars: Elisabeth Moss, Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid, Harriet Dyer, Michael Dorman, Oliver Jackson-Cohen Writer: Leigh Whannell, based on the novel by H.G. Wells Director: Leigh Whannell Distributor: Universal Release Date: February 28, 2020 THE INVISIBLE MAN, the latest incarnation of H.G. Wells’s influential novel, is a reasonably smart horror thriller. Director/writer Leigh Whannell has largely, albeit not completely, figured out how to avoid what would seem to be the most problematic aspect of the premise. Better, Whannell’s script sets up situations that are not prompted by anybody doing something boneheaded in the face of danger. THE INVISIBLE MAN […]Read On »
