I’m back and I survived last weekend’s big San Francisco Adventure known as WonderCon 2010. Friday was all about opening day and comic books, Saturday was all about pop culture the day started with spending an hour in the Press Room with the cast of ABC’s new spooky show Happy Town. We sat down with […]

TELEVISION: BOOM[!] Go Its Ratings So ABC Gives Castle Third Season!
For each of its last two episodes [a two-parter guest starring Dana Delaney], ABC’s Castle [Mondays, 10/9C] has chalked up double-digit ratings increases resulting in the show being renewed for 2010-11. The two-episode arc had Kate Beckett [Stana Katic] and Richard Castle [Nathan Fillion] being joined by FBI profiler Jordan Shaw [Delaney] when a […]
TELEVISION REVIEW: V – Welcome to the War: Is It Getting Intense in Here or Is It Just Me?
It’s been a while since we saw an original episode of V and, after a better-than-average clip show to bring us up to date, the series returns this evening [ABC, 10/9C]. Welcome to the War picks up with a number of plot threads that were left dangling off the proverbial cliff way back before the […]
TELEVISION: Dana Delaney Sparks Explosive New Castle!
When ABC’s Castle [tonight, 10/9C] premiered last season, it was a clever twist on the veteran detective/amateur sleuth kind of series. It introduced a wit and charm that felt very much like classic series like Moonlighting and Murder, She Wrote, but with a fresh twist – the detective is veteran police detective Kate Beckett; the […]
TELEVISION Review: FlashForward Returns with Shocking Revelations!
When ABC’s FlashForward returns tomorrow [8/7], it comes with a much quicker pace and some staggering revelations – hence the episode title, Revelation Zero. After a surprisingly brief recap, things almost explode as we learn, in short order, why Lloyd [Jack Davenport] was kidnapped; how Mark [Joseph Fiennes] manages to remember the fuzzy parts of […]
FlashForward Part One, Season One DVD is not worth your money. Michelle’s Review
FlashFoward is one of those high concept shows that I was initially excited for, but then let me down. I tried watching the first few episodes when they originally aired but could not get into it. The pacing was too slow, it took forever to establish the characters and it’s way too serious. I decided […]
TELEVISION: V – Previously on V – V: The Arrival Provides Crash Course on what Has Gone Before!

MOVIES/TELEVISION: Oscar® History Is Made – Bigelow Wins!
Movie history has just been made. First, Kathryn Bigelow won the Academy Award® for Directing and moments later, another Oscar® for Best Film – she was a producer on The Hurt Locker, not just the director. Fellow nominee, James Cameron, was one of the first to stand – leading to a full on standing ovation […]
MOVIES: If I Picked The Oscars®!
It’s that wonderful time of the year when The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences hands out the most famous awards in the world [yes, even more well-known than the Nobel Prize]. Despite a drop-off in indie film production, it’s been a pretty good year for movies and the box office reflects that – […]
TELEVISION: Confused? You Won’t Be After Tonight’s Premiere of Lost!
No, I haven’t seen anything more than the almost new footage-free spots that ABC has been airing for the much anticipated final season premiere of Lost [ABC, 9/8C – Recap at 8/7C] – or the collections of soundbites from the cast members – all content-free but talking about such things as the show’s legacy and […]
TELEVISION: Lost’s Final Sunset on the Beach Screening Set for January 30th!
As the beginning of the end approaches for ABC’s Lost [Tuesdays, 9/8C], the now traditional practice of holding an advance screening on the sandy beach of Waikiki comes to an end as well [though I’m not sure I’d want to party with this guy…].
