TV News: FX Orders New Ryan Murphy Limited Series FEUD To Air in 2017

TV News: FX Orders New Ryan Murphy Limited Series <i>FEUD</i> To Air in 2017 1

The first installment of Feud stars Jessica Lange and Susan Sarandon and tells the story of the legendary rivalry between two of the greatest movie stars of all time—Joan Crawford (Lange) and Bette Davis (Sarandon), and how they came together in 1962 to collaborate on a picture each hoped would revive their careers. The result, the critically acclaimed and box office smash What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? ultimately received five Academy Awards nominations and became a cult classic. But for its leads, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, the real horror was working together. The pilot is based in part on the script “Best Actress” by Jaffe Cohen and Michael Zam which Murphy purchased. Murphy will direct several episodes of the series.

TV News: Discovery Channel's <i>SONIC SEA</i>, Narrated by Rachel McAdams, Premieres May 19 10

SONIC SEA travels beneath the ocean’s surface to uncover the damaging consequences of increased ocean noise pollution and what can be done to stop it. Narrated by Academy® Award-nominated actress Rachel McAdams and featuring interviews with marine ecologists, ocean life experts, and wildlife activists, including Grammy Award-winning musician, human rights and environmental activist Sting, SONIC SEA highlights how noise from a range of man-made sources has affected whales in recent years, including the mass stranding of whales around the planet. The film uncovers how better ship design, speed limits for large ships, quieter methods for underwater resource exploration, and exclusion zones for sonar training can work to reduce the noise in our oceans and stop the deaths of our ocean’s beloved creatures, as long as society has “the political will to solve it.”

Grimm – “The Taming of the Wu” Review. Were-Wu of Portland.

<i>Grimm</i> – “The Taming of the Wu” Review. Were-Wu of Portland. 11

The title of my review pays homage to Warren Zevon’s song, “Werewolves of London,” as it runs through my mind. Yes, ladies and gents, what we’ve seen happening to our beloved Sgt. Wu (Reggie Lee) these past few episodes finally comes to light for all to see – Wu is a werewolf. “Taming of the Wu” doesn’t just deal with Wu’s transformation after being scratched by an infected Blutbad in “Lycanthropia;” it also delves a bit deeper into the group known as “Black Claw,” and the lengths they are willing to go in order to get certain people on their side. The interesting part of the entire episode is how the young and quite impetuous Diana (Hannah R. Lloyd) behaves when things don’t go her way. Talk about temper tantrums!

<i>Penny Dreadful</i> – “The Day Tennyson Died” Review. Fresh Wonders and Diabolical Secrets. 12

Scattered throughout the Arctic, Africa, London, and the New Mexico Territory, our beloved anti-heroes return to the screen after ten long months. As the title of season three’s premiere suggests, the poet Lord Alfred Tennyson has died. Vanessa (Eva Green), however, is unaware of such news as she has entombed herself in her own wearisome malaise. Some time has passed since the traumatizing events that took place in the season two finale, “And They Were Enemies,” and with all her friends dispersed, Vanessa is unable to lift herself from her doldrums. “The Day Tennyson Died” is layered with five stories dealing with Vanessa, Sir Malcolm (Timothy Dalton), Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett), Victor Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway), and John Clare (Rory Kinnear). Each story reveals something much bigger that lies ahead this season.

To be frank, “Good to the Bone” isn’t for the squeamish. If you have any qualms with sound effects involving slurping and/or regurgitating noises, you may find yourself gagging a little as this Wesen story unfolds. Once again, another crime has been committed involving Wesen. It seems Portland is overrun with Wesen that somehow manage to find themselves involved in illegal activity. Did the writers forget that humans still exist in the world? I’m all for introducing new Wesen but now they’ve taken one of my favorite people, Sgt Wu. (Reggie Lee) and have transformed him into something non-human. Wu-Wolf.
