Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Fiona Gubelmann, Dorian Brown, Chris Klein, James Remar, Mary Steenburgen, Kristen Schaal Writers: Reed Agnew & Eli Jorne, series created by Jason Gann & Adam Zwar, adapted for American television by David Zuckerman Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: September 5, 2013 WILFRED is a very unpredictable show – it’s not like this series about a man who sees his neighbor’s dog as a man in a dog suit is playing by any kind of rule book – but if there is one thing we could absolutely count on, it was […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Vin Diesel, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista, Bokeem Woodbine, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Gerard Funk Writer: David Twohy, based on characters created by Ken Wheat & Jim Wheat Director: David Twohy Distributor: Universal Release Date: September 6, 2013 In 2000, David Twohy directed PITCH BLACK, a nifty bit of sci-fi/action/horror, from a story by Ken Wheat & Jim Wheat (all three share screenplay credit), which introduced Vin Diesel’s character Richard B. Riddick. Riddick can see in the dark, a handy talent when stranded on a planet where monsters come out at night. The Writer/director then […]Read On »

TV Review: LUTHER – Series 3 – “Episodes 1-4”

Idris Elba in LUTHER - Series 3 | ©2013 BBC

Stars: Idris Elba, Sienna Guillory, Warren Brown, David O’Hara, Ruth Wilson, Dermot Crowley, Nikki Amuka-Bird Writer: Neil Cross Director: Sam Miller Network: BBC America, Tuesday-Friday 10 PM Airdates: September 3-6, 2013 Reportedly, Season 3 of LUTHER is its last. This is a crying shame, since Idris Elba inhabits London police detective John Luther with the kind of intensity that makes the world disappear while we’re watching. Most American shows about police who are this tortured wind up looking a little silly, but here, largely because of Elba’s perfect performance and also because we know how profoundly Luther has transgressed, it […]Read On »

Aaron Paul in Season 5 - "Rabid Dog" - BREAKING BAD | ©2013 AMC/Ursula Coyote

Stars:  Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk Writer: Sam Catlin Director: Sam Catlin Network: AMC, airs Sunday Nights Original Telecast: September 1, 2013 The latest BREAKING BAD episode “Rabid Dog” concerns itself entirely with the question of what action Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) will take next.  Specifically, now that he’s finally seen through Walt’s (Bryan Cranston) mask and knows what kind of person is hiding behind it, what is he actually prepared to do to bring Walt down?  And while the answer to that question seems pretty straightforward at the beginning of […]Read On »

Stars:  Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk Writer: Gennifer Hutchison Director: Michael Slovis Network: AMC, airs Sunday Nights Original Telecast: August 25, 2013 As BREAKING BAD marches towards it’s conclusion, we’re seeing all the secrets its characters were hiding from one another come to light at an ever-quickening pace.  In one way, it’s very satisfying.  Great writing and the talents of these great actors have made their characters’ reactions to the horrible truths they’re learning incredibly memorable.  And yet, in “Confessions” there’s still something that feels obligatory about getting all these reveals […]Read On »

Movie Review: GETAWAY

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Ethan Hawke, Selena Gomez, Rebecca Budig Writers: Sean Finegan and Gregg Maxwell Parker Director: Courtney Solomon Distributor: Warner Bros. Release Date: August 30, 2013 Given most of its nearly wall-to-wall action, the primary reason for the existence of GETAWAY would seem to be a series of car stunts and crashes that are fairly breathtaking. Furthermore, while a lot of films are shot in Bulgaria, GETAWAY is actually set there, which gives us some fresh cityscapes that haven’t been photographed into monotony and also allows at least non-Bulgarian viewers to suspend disbelief about some police procedures (or lack […]Read On »

TV Review: WILFRED – Season 3 – “Stagnation”

By RACHEL REITSLEFF 08/25/2013
Jason Gann and Elijah Wood in WILFRED - Season 3 - "Stagnation" | ©2013 FX/Prashant Gupta

Stars: Elijah Wood, Jason Gann, Dorian Brown, Kristen Schaal, Chris Klein Writer: Jason Gann, series created by Jason Gann & Adam Zwar, adapted for American television by David Zuckerman Director: Randall Einhorn Network: FX, Thursdays @ 10 PM Airdate: August 22, 2013 WILFRED can be gross and weird and a bunch of other stuff. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s just startling. However, “Stagnation,” an episode that combines rape jokes, eugenics and dog breeding is a bridge too far for this reviewer. Ryan (Elijah Wood) is getting enough in rent from boarder Anne (Kristen Schaal) that he’s not inspired to get […]Read On »

EVIDENCE movie poster | ©2013 Image

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Stephen Moyer, Radha Mitchell, Torrey DeVitto, Caitlin Stasey, Harry Lennix, Svetlana Metkina, Dale Dickey, Nolan Gerard Funk, Albert Kuo, Barak Hardley Writer: John Swetnam Director: Olatunde Osunsanmi Distributor: RLJ/Image Entertainment Release Date: theatrical, July 19, 2013; home video, August 20, 2013 Whether their preferred fare is SAW, DOWNTON ABBEY or documentaries on the genetic engineering of wheat, one thing that unites virtually all viewers is intolerance of glitchy video. This sets up an immediate challenge within EVIDENCE, which is not just a found footage thriller, but a found damaged footage thriller. This turns out to be […]Read On »

Based on the first in a series by author Cassandra Clare, the film […]Read On »

Stars:  Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk Writer: Thomas Schnauz Director: Michelle MacLaren Network: AMC, airs Sunday Nights Original Telecast: August 18, 2013 If there were any doubts as to where Skyler’s loyalties belong in the looming showdown between Walt and Hank, “Buried” removed them completely, and did so in a way that made you believe, with Skyler’s help, Walt could actually get away with all his crimes, (whatever getting away with it means when you’re dying of terminal cancer).  But just as one door has opened for Walt, another one is […]Read On »
