Haven’t talked much about this year’s Idol. The talent is probably the best they have had in years, but I still hate the theme weeks. I don’t get the whole Casey Abrams or Paul McDonald thing. My pick for this year is the howdy doody, Tom Hank’s love child Scotty. Here’s a recap from this […]
Archer’s Cheryl/Carol Gets A Particularly Twisted Showcase Episode!
This week’s episode of Archer [FX, Thursdays, 10/9C], El Secuestro, is built around the character of Cheryl/Carol, dim bulb secretary to the self-involved head of ISIS, Malory Archer. It’s an episode packed with unexpected delights and a juicy secret or two.
Preview of WonderCon this Weekend!
WonderCon in San Francisco is almost upon us and I will do my best to be your roving reporter on site. Since I will be trying to pay attention to the Panels and will be attempting a few interviews, there will be no real-time tweeting, but I hope to be able to provide in-depth coverage […]
New Concept Art From Pixar’s Brave!
When Disney/Pixar sends you concept art from an upcoming film, you pretty much have to take a good look at it. When it comes from a story that takes place in a Celtic region – like the Scottish Highlands, here – and it looks as cool as this, well, you’ve just got to share. Check […]
Judy Greer Spills The Beans On Being Archer’s Cheryl/Carol!
Judy Greer is all over the place lately. Besides playing the fluctuatingly named Cheryl/Carol on Archer [FX, Thursdays, 10/9C], she’s one of four leads on the unusual CBS sitcom Mad Love; appeared in half a dozen movies in 2010, and has three more coming out this year. Recently, I had the opportunity to take part […]
TNT Releases Explosive New Trailer For Falling Skies!
TNT’s new trailer for Falling Skies – premiering on Sunday, June 19th at 9/8C – includes a good look at two different types of aliens including multi-legged type referred to as a ‘skitterer.’ I have a feeling that this series will turn out to be what V should have been. Check out the press release following the […]
This Week HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel Tackles The Biggest Issues In College Sports!
We rarely cover sports at Eclipse, but as NCAA basketball’s Final Four approaches, there has been renewed debate in the press [and elsewhere] about the multi-billion dollar business that is college sports – and how, outside of a university education, that business is built on an unpaid workforce. On Wednesday, March 30, at 10/9C, HBO […]

Michelle’s CinemaCon Adventure Day 1, Thor! Captain America! and More!
I’m in Las Vegas this week attending The Official Convention of The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), also known as CinemaCon. This is a week when Hollywood comes together with Theater owners to pat each other on the back and say “Job well done…” We also get a glance at what new technology and […]
Body Of Proof Proves Beyond A Doubt That Dana Delaney Is A Genuine TV Star!
The premiere of ABC’s new series, Body of Proof [Tuesdays, 10/9C], presents as a procedural in which a crusty former neurosurgeon becomes a crusader medical examiner – a female Quincy, so to speak, but with fewer social graces and more intrusiveness. The situations which come up in the pilot are ludicrous but Delaney’s presence and […]
Trailer: Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe
USA Network has released a trailer for Burn Notice: The Fall of Sam Axe. Set before Sam retired from the Navy SEALs, it exploits Bruce Campbell’s unique charm most groovily, indeed. There are explosions, quips and even a bit of snogging – and a particularly sneaky insertion of Campbell’s best nickname. Burn Notice: The Fall […]
