Spoiler below: THEY KILLED DALE!!!!! End spoiler. “18 Miles Out,” last week’s episode of AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” was directed by the typically reliable Ernest Dickerson, though I still had a problem with the episode. It had nothing to do with Dickerson or his directoral chops; those were always top-notch. No, what bothered me was […]
According to Deadline, Netflix is considering bringing back “Terra Nova,” the time travel series recently cancelled by Fox. My problem with this idea is that “Terra Nova” wasn’t that entertaining to begin with, and extremely expensive to produce, so I am a bit dubious about this one. Besides, any television series that can have time […]
Louie C.K. is a funny comedian. He has this self-depreciating manner that sometimes makes his (more often than not) bawdy material entertaining. That being said, his series, “Louie” is a bit of a downer. I have been watching it on Neflix, and the first five or six episodes started promisingly, but a very moralistic tone […]
Sony’s upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man’s” main baddie is The Lizard, who was never one of my favorite villains in the Spider-man canon (I have never really thought why, though it probably has something to do with him being little more than The Hulk, with scales). If the film makers weren’t going to go with Mysterio, […]
According to Vulture, Frank Darabont’s “L.A. Noir” has cast Milo Ventimiglia as the lead. That being said, they still want Jon Bernthal for another role, which isn’t great news for “The Walking Dead” because Frank Darabont is known to really like working with Bernthal.
I have always assumed that the question of whether or not there would be a reboot of Space: 1999 was more a question of when, than if because, if television or feature films have taught us anything, it’s that updating something that already exists is easier than spending the time, money and effort to actually […]
Here are a few concept pics, courtesy of io9, of the upcoming series Space 2099. Being concept pics, they work only as an introduction to what the re-imagining of the series will be like, yet even a relatively limited capacity as that they offer a glimpse into what Jace Hall, the producer of the upcoming […]
Yesterday’s return of “The Walking Dead” to AMC made cable ratings history, earning more than 7 million viewers. That being said, I am a bit torn. While I am glad to hear of it’s success–Heck, any show with zombies on a consistent basis I am glad to know is successful–though I still can’t quite get […]
Space: 1999 is being rebooted, if Deadline is accurate. I don’t know if Gerry Anderson will be involved, though I hope that he is. Anyone that has followed my blog knows that I have been following this project, in its various forms, since its inception, and I am glad to hear that there will potentially […]
J.J. Abrams (Lost, Alcatraz) and Eric Kripke (Supernatural) have an upcoming show on NBC called “Revolution,” about a world that is forced to exist without power because of some unspecified event. That Abrams and Kripe are working together is impressive, though Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Cowboys And Aliens) directing the pilot episode […]
