NBC's 'Hannibal' adds Hugh Dancy

In the past decade or so, I’ve found myself getting more and more into many TV series. It seems as though the period has been full of so many great dramas, especially coming from cable networks like AMC, HBO, and Showtime. It’s really caused the big networks to rethink their game and step up the quality drastically. Now NBC is giving it their best shot, and basing a series off of Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter series.

According to reports, the show has just added its leading man, Hugh Dancy. Continue reading “NBC's 'Hannibal' adds Hugh Dancy” →

Elizabeth Hurley cast as "Wonder Woman" villain

Elizabeth Hurley. Oh, how I remember Elizabeth Hurley. She was a major favorite between myself and all of my friends back in her heyday, then she seemingly disappeared. Many of us have wondered where she has been, and why she hasn’t been in the spotlight in a while. That seems to be changing, however.

Hurley has revealed, via her Twitter account, that she will be taking up the villain role in the upcoming Wonder Woman TV series for NBC.

The role will be a guest-starring stint, and is said to be the role of Veronica Cale, a woman who runs a pharmaceutical company that produces a drug that gives its user strength. She plans on using that drug against Wonder Woman, who she is jealous of. The role is Hurley’s, pending some visa issues. Continue reading “Elizabeth Hurley cast as "Wonder Woman" villain” →

Adrianne Palicki takes up the role of "Wonder Woman" for NBC

Wonder Woman is one of the main staples of the DC comics universe, yet sometimes gets overlooked as such. Several years ago, Joss Whedon was hard at work trying to bring her to the big screen, in an attempt that didn’t pan out so well. This left her behind as Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman hit the golden screen.

NBC is, however, working on bringing us a new Wonder Woman TV series, and word is out that Adrianne Palicki (Friday Night Lights) will be taking up the mantle from the unforgettable Lynda Carter. Continue reading “Adrianne Palicki takes up the role of "Wonder Woman" for NBC” →

Will Ferrell taking a guest spot on "The Office," to aid Steve Carell's exit

Will Ferrell cameos are usually some of the best out there, as he seems to really run with it every time. Do you remember what you thought when he came down the stairs in WEDDING CRASHERS? I do. I, along with the rest of the theater, began cheering and laughing. Subsequently, that cameo ended up being one of the highlights of the film.

It looks like he has another high profile guest spot coming up soon, this time in the TV world. He will be joining a four episode arc at the end of the season as a way to lead up to Carell’s departure from the show.

Blu-ray Review: "Heroes," season four

Rating: 6/10
Creator:: Tim Kring
Cast: Milo Ventimiglia, Hayden Panettiere, Zachary Quinto, Jack Coleman, Masi Oka

It’s amazing to look back on NBC’s Heroes now that it is completely over and ended, and realize the ups and downs that it went through. Over its four year run, it went from being one of the highest-rated and most popular shows on television, to a passé thing that was easy to make fun of. This didn’t stop it from being a weekly tent-pole show for me throughout the entirety of its run. Continue reading “Blu-ray Review: "Heroes," season four” →

Video Interview: Ben McKenzie ("Southland")

I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t an avid fan of “The O.C.,” I watched the show religiously throughout its run. So when I was presented the opportunity to interview Ben McKenzie (Ryan Atwood on the show), I of course accepted. And it was a pleasure, because he was incredibly nice and gracious. I made the offhand comment that this was my first interview, and he loved it. After his attempt to make me nervous (jokingly), we did the interview.
