Michael Chiklis: TV Guide News
Movie News: New "Bond Girl" Revealed, and More | Today's News: Our Take | 1/8/2008
Following in the footsteps of such sexpots as Jane Seymour, Kim Basinger and Halle Berry, Hitman hottie Olga Kurylenko has been cast as the Bond girl in the upcoming, as-yet-untitled 007 flick.... Michael Chiklis will play the U.S. Secretary of Defense in Eagle Eye, the Shia LaBeouf terrorist thriller.... Skeet Ulrich will star opposite Matt Dillon in Armored, about a Brinks-truck heist.... On Monday night, the Broadcast Film Critics Association named No Country for Old Men the year's best...

SAG Goes Mad for Men | Roush Dispatch | 12/20/2007
I suppose I could dwell on the fact that a major Hollywood guild has once again ignored the very existence of TV's finest acting ensemble, Friday Night Lights in favor of the mugging and posturing on Boston Legal. As they'd say on another SAG favorite, Grey's Anatomy: Seriously? Is it wrong to want to form our own picket line?Also: What's up with snubbing Pushing Daisies and its fantastical cast?And yet the Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations, announced Thursday morning, did shower...

Exclusive: Chiklis Assumes Control of The Shield! | Ausiello Report | 12/19/2007
Det. Mackey may've survived the writers' strike, but will he live through The Shield's finale? That's the question plaguing fans now that FX's blistering cop drama has wrapped production on its 13-episode swan song (to air in '08). Not surprisingly, the show's top cop, Michael Chiklis, offered a few clues about his alter ego's ultimate fate when I ran into him last week in New York. He did, however, open up about saying goodbye to Mackey, why the final episodes rank among the drama's best ever,...

June 5, 2007: Spanish Practices | The Shield | 6/6/2007
Man, what a season. Can't the final season just start next week? Or can't we just fast-forward to March 2008 right now? (Leave Christmas in just for the heck of it.)Again, The Shield threw me for a loop. I was expecting either Shane or a member of the Mackey family to bite the big one and none of them did. I was expecting Vic to get his job back, but not by exposing the Mexican mob, and I certainly didn't expect him to walk out of his hearing. As I've said before, the twists and turns are what...

May 29, 2007: Recoil | The Shield | 5/30/2007
I know it's probably bad to start off a blog about this week's episode by saying I can't wait for next week's. But it's true. The last time I remember anticipating a finale as much as this one it was the final episode of Cheers. And this is just a season finale. I mean, jeez, my heart. My poor, tired heart. I know my heart can't wait until 11:05 pm/ET next week for it to be over. It gets a workout each week and I'm sure the ticker is a little exhausted at this point. Then again, we get to wait...

May 22, 2007: The Math of the Wrath | The Shield | 5/23/2007
With only three episodes left in this season, this week we get our setup episode for the final two. Dialogue-heavy and bloodshed-light, we get some more insight into Shane and the Armenians and find out that Hernan is not dead after all. Shanes in the middle of this gas-station murder and is talking to the daughter of the Armenian mob boss. Shanes talking to her like she doesnt know anything, but clearly shes more on her game than he thinks. And soon she might be in...

May 15, 2007: Shane Wises Up | The Shield | 5/16/2007
All talk and no action. That's usually not our buddy Vic Mackey. But last week, I clearly heard him say to Shane: "If I see you again, I will kill you." Vic saw him again and Shane is still walkin' and talkin' as far as I can see. I mean, I hoped it would happen. I hoped Vic would pull up to Shane and pop him one, but I also knew it couldn't happen that easily. Shane's no dummy, we all knew that. I always considered Vic to be the more cunning of the two, but Shane has really upped his game this...

May 1, 2007: Haunts | The Shield | 5/2/2007
I wish I had the time to go back to the beginning of this series and watch the whole thing from the start again. I'd love to see the point where Shane's life started spiraling out of control. Maybe it was the money train, or hitting Tavon over the head, or even all the way back to the first episode when the strike team killed a cop. There's got to be a dozen other moments as well, but whatever moment it is, one thing is for certain: Shane has no control over what happens now. This whole season...

April 24, 2007: The New Guy | The Shield | 4/25/2007
A big hearty handshake (well, not from Shane) goes out to Alex O'Loughlin, aka Detective Kevin Hiatt, as he begins his tour of duty in Farmington. Boy, he has no clue what he's being thrown into! This was a nice semi-setup episode to get us ready for what we saw in the preview. For the first time this season, chasing Lem's killer wasn't No. 1 on the list. We saw new drama unfold and even got back to the slaughterhouse briefly, while the Lem situation still stewed in the background a bit. Of...

April 17, 2007: Maybe He Didn't Do It | The Shield | 4/18/2007
"He killed Lem. Don't you remember his body, his face? You think you could just forget that, huh? Don't you think he deserves to die for what he did?"Those words, screamed at Shane Vendrell by Vic Mackey, helped mold a scene that had to be the most powerful one of the entire series. Wow! You knew Vic was going to do something harsh to Guardo if he found him, but wow! I mean, wow! I know I'm saying that word a lot right now, but that one word — wow! — really sums up the boldness, the...

April 10, 2007: I Framed a Guilty Man | The Shield | 4/11/2007
So the fact that Forest Whitaker wasnt going to be around after this episode was not a well-kept secret at all, but I wasnt expecting the situation between him and Vic to go down like this. I think I was somehow expecting Kavanaugh to get a surprise beating or take a bullet, although then again, hes too smart for that. But it seems like he wasnt smart enough to realize that no one plays both sides quite like Vic Mackey. Jons downfall of course was when he started...

April 3, 2007: I Hung My Head | The Shield | 4/4/2007
I thought of many ways to begin my first blog for The Shield, and I think the best way is for you all to join me in saying two words: hell, yeah! Honestly, I've never been this excited for a new season of a show. I certainly haven't watched every show in existence, but of the ones I have, this might be the only one without a misstep somewhere along the way. So, you'll have to pardon me if my emotions get the best of me at points. What can I say, I'm excited! But first, before we chat, a moment...

March 29, 2007: Welcome Back! | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 3/30/2007
Can you believe it's been more than a month since the last new CSI episode? So what better way to rekindle my CSI flame than to give me an unusually high amount of bloody gore! This episode certainly was one of the more gruesome in recent memory. Six young showgirls all tied up with their throats slashed and a full half hour at least at the crime scene. It was kind of creepy, too. The gang doesn't usually come across victims that are still alive, so when the one girl reached out from under the...

The Shield Finale Scoop! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 6/15/2004
Last week on FX's The Shield, Lem freaked out and pulled an unbelievable stunt. Cracking under pressure, he burnt up most of the Strike Team's "retirement fund" ? aka their stolen Armenian money-train loot ? in the furnace! Admit it: You thought Vic Mackey (Michael Chiklis) and Co. might whack him Sopranos-style, right then and there. Well, in tonight's season finale at 10 pm/ET, Shield fans will learn Lem's fate after the guys fought over that cash. Can't wait? Read our revealing interview ...
