Album Review: Foo Fighters – MEDIUM RARE (Record Day 2011 Exclusive)

By CARL CORTEZ 04/26/2011
Foo Fighters - MEDIUM RARE | ©2011 RCA

Distributor: RCA Suggested Retail Price: $16.99 With the Foo Fighters newest album WASTING LIGHT now in stores, it’s nice to see the band also support local record stores with Record Store Day 2011 and the exclusive release MEDIUM RARE. Essentially a compilation of various cover songs the Foo Fighters have done throughout their career (studio and live tracks), the release was a coveted item for collectors and is now netting as high as $60.00 from some unscrupulous resellers. MEDIUM RARE really proves how versatile the band is as musicians and for David Grohl as a singer. In many ways, the […]Read On »

TV Review: MEDIUM – Season 7 – “Me Without You” – Series Finale

It’s so hard to wrap up a long-running series, be faithful to the core values of it and still satisfy fan expectations. It’s even harder when your series comes to an end quicker than you would have liked or expected.

The latter is the case of MEDIUM. It only made it through a half-season this year before CBS pulled the plug after seven years (five of those were spent on NBC, two on CBS).

This at least gave creator Glenn Gordon Caron time to craft an actual finale, rather than leaving the show on a limbo note.

Patricia Arquette, Maria Lark, Sofia Vasselleva, Miranda Carabello and Jake Weber in MEDIUM - Season Six | &copy 2009 CBS

MEDIUM revolves not only around the fact that Allison Dubois (Patricia Arquette) is psychic, but that she has a family. For seven seasons, the audience has watched the Dubois daughters – sensitive Ariel, forthright Bridget and little Marie – grow up on camera. Likewise, actresses Sofia Vassilieva (Ariel), now eighteen, Maria Lark (Bridget), now thirteen, and identical twins Madison and Miranda Carabello (sharing the role of Marie), now eight, have spent a significant portion of their lives acting in the Dubois household. The long-running MEDIUM airs its final new episode tonight on CBS. This interview was conducted while it was […]Read On »

For seven years on MEDIUM, Allison Dubois, played by Patricia Arquette, has seen and heard dead people, an ability she’s used to help the Phoenix, Arizona district attorney’s office. Her three young daughters all share some version of her gift. The only person in the household who doesn’t have psychic qualities is husband and father Joe Dubois, played by Jake Weber. Joe may at times be bewildered, skeptical or even totally exasperated, but he is unshakably loyal and loving, attributes that have had the character rated in multiple polls as one of the best spouses on TV. MEDIUM spent five […]Read On »

Larson Director: David Leitch Distributor: Universal Pictures Release Date: May 3, 2024 THE FALL GUY director David Leitch has been helming action movies for a while now.

One is the pre-wedding interactions of a bride-to-be and her besties prior to the big day. The other is the big threat of the open ocean, including sharks. We begin with British couple Meg (Hiftu Quasem) and Kayla (Natalie Mitson), who are happy together until they are assaulted in a […]Read On »

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Ian Foreman, Helena Howard, Lindsey Jordan, Danielle Deadwyler, Fred Durst Writer: Jane Schoenbrun Director: Jane Schoenbrun Distributor: A24 Release Date: May 3, 2024 I SAW THE TV GLOW is dreamy and quasi-surreal. It opens with a shot of a dark street, where half the asphalt is covered in blue, pink and purple blacklight markings, and half is just black. The symbolism sets the stage for what is to come. Writer/director Jane Schoenbrun’s stated topics here include identity and television fandom – not “let’s go to Comic-Con and celebrate our favorite shows, plural” fandom, […]Read On »
