DVD Tuesday: Long Live the New Flesh in Cronenberg's Vidoedrome | Movie News | 5/7/2008
DVD Tuesday: Videodrome, reality TV and the temple of the new flesh -- David Cronenberg saw it all!All hail Mike Judge's Idiocracy (2006): Every time my mind is boggled by the depths to which some new reality TV show has sunk, I can't help but remember the most popular show of Judge's dystopian future: "Ow, My Balls!" Really says it all, doesn't it? But much though I'm amused by Idiocracy, David Cronenberg's Videodrome (1983) really blows my mind (pace Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home, a... read more be the first to leave a comment
300 Patients | TV Show Recaps | 12/7/2007
As we celebrated the landmark 300th outing of ER tonight with a rare episode directed by series executive producer John Wells, I was thrilled to see the powerhouse acting of Maura Tierney and Goran Visnjic as the centerpiece of the episode. For those of us who have been fans since that very first episode 14 years ago (is that even possible?), it is gratifying to see this show still telling compelling, heartfelt stories about characters that we care about. I haven’t always liked where the... read more be the first to leave a comment
DVD Tuesday: James Woods... Good/Bad/Psycho Cop | Movie News | 11/12/2007
DVD Tuesday: Good Cop/Bad Cop/Psycho Cop — James Woods is all three in this pre-L.A. Confidential James Ellroy thriller.I was reading James Ellroy's Hollywood Nocturnes over the weekend and wondering why the success of L.A. Confidential (1997) did nothing to raise the profile of Cop (1988), a brutal little thriller based on his Blood on the Moon. I couldn't come up with a theory, but this week I decided to do my bit. Cop opened with no fanfare, but I was already a James Woods fan (I don't... read more be the first to leave a comment

Shark creator Ian Biederman has signed a two-year deal with 20th Century Fox TV to continue on as show-runner for the hit drama and develop new projects. Heralding Biederman's success, 20th Century president Dana Walden tells Variety, "Ian has created a larger-than-life character in Sebastian Stark that... captured the imagination of the amazing Jimmy Woods, a feature actor who'd never done a television series. The result was the year's most-watched new drama."Looking ahead to Shark's Season 2,... read more be the first to leave a comment
May 17, 2007: The Honeymoon Is Over | TV Show Recaps | 5/18/2007
I say what I am about to say as a huge fan of television and, in particular, ER. I am ready for a break. I am actually relieved that this television season is coming to an end, because I really don't think I can take any more. I am officially emotionally spent. Tonight alone, I endured the highs of Jim asking Pam out for a real date on The Office and the lows of Burke breaking Christina's impenetrable heart on Grey’s Anatomy. By the time 10 pm rolled around, I was primed and ready. Or so... read more be the first to leave a comment
The Back Nine: Any Other Keepers? | Matt Roush | 10/17/2006
ABC's Brothers & Sisters has joined the charmed, and so far rather tiny, circle of new fall series rewarded with what is known as "the back nine," as in a full-series renewal taking the original order of 13 episodes to 22 (sometimes expanded further for true breakthrough shows). At the moment, only three other shows have this honor: ABC's delightful Ugly Betty and two speculative fantasies that defied the odds to capture an early following: NBC's intriguing Heroes and, to the surprise of... read more be the first to leave a comment
Who would've thought? ... | Matt Roush | 9/29/2006
Question: Who would've thought? According to preliminary ratings, Grey's Anatomy sacked CSI. Although the network still had fewer total viewers for the night according to the ratings, I bet the folks over at ABC are throwing a party right now. But how long will it last? Do you think those ratings are just a reflection of the anticipation from last season? Given the type of show GA is compared to CSI, there would've been more anticipation, right? So now that the show has premiered, is the... read more be the first to leave a comment
24 Exclusive: Look Who's Returning! | Today's News: Our Take | 8/9/2006
Just got off the phone with my 24 mole and he/she informs me that Eric Balfour has signed on to reprise his Season 1 role as independent CTU contractor Milo Pressman. My spy wouldn't say how Milo would be re-introduced, but he'll be sticking around for a while: Balfour will be credited as a series regular. (If you need a refresher on who Milo is, click here.)In other 24 news, former Star Trek: Deep Space Nine doc Alexander Siddig is joining the cast as one of the evildoers behind the big Season... read more be the first to leave a comment
Press Tour Diary: CBS Day 1 | Today's News: Our Take | 7/16/2006
Fresh Diet Raspberry Snapple? Check. Fully charged Dell laptop? Check. Leftover Vicodin from last year's root-canal crisis, just in case? Check. OK, let's do this, people. EXECUTIVE SESSION 9:08 am: I spy Eye president Nina Tassler embracing a reporter prior to walking on stage. Is that ethical? Oh, wait, this is coming from someone who reserves judgment on a show until after the tie-in swag is delivered.9:14 am: Stop the presses! In her opening remarks, Tassler drops a bombshell: "It's [been]... read more be the first to leave a comment
Your constant bashing of ER ... | Matt Roush | 2/20/2006
Question: Your constant bashing of ER and its "mediocrity" gives me the impression that you really haven't even given yourself the possibility of liking the show this season, maybe due to disillusionment with the last couple of seasons. John Leguizamo's Doctor Clemente has been one of the best (or at least most enjoyable) new characters on TV this season, bringing comedic relief to a cast clearly in need of it. You can cynically brush off Cynthia Nixon's and James Woods's guest roles... read more be the first to leave a comment
