There are people in this world who have left a lasting impression long after their death. One of these iconic figures who affected the world following his tragic suicide is Kurt Cobain. Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck is the first documentary about Cobain made with the cooperation of his family. From a happy child to a disturbed, lonely soul who created art only an obsessive, dismal mind can make, the documentary doesn’t pull any punches…

“Deal” is another excellent episode of #NurseJackie. Any episode that highlights Wallem’s fantastic voice is a hit in my eyes. Add to that brilliant direction by Julie Anne Robinson, Wever’s superb acting, and writer Tom Straw’s humorous dialogue, and you have a sure winner.

It’s been months since the season one finale of Bitten left viewers at the edge of their seats with Philip’s (Paul Greene) shocking death and the kidnapping of Logan’s (Michael Xavier) very pregnant significant other, Rachel (Genelle Williams). In a whopping two hour season premiere, Bitten returns with a vengeance in “Bad Blood” and “Scare Tactics,” delivering action packed story lines as well as introducing some new characters along the way.

Not all fairy tales have happy endings and Grimm is taking the road less traveled in the so-called love story of its main couple, Nick (David Giuntoli) and Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch). Relishing in the darker side of things, the ominous tone the writers and producers are taking with Grimm fascinates me. The only downside of going a bit darker is the pacing. While the intriguing Native American aspect of “Mishipeshu,” this week’s episode, intrigues me, I want the writers to focus more on the saga of the newly turned Hexenbiest Juliette and her journey into the temptations of being a powerful witch.

With a story by Dee Rees and Horton Foote, the film focuses on Smith’s transformation from a struggling young singer into “The Empress of the Blues,” one of the most successful recording artists of the 1920s and an enduring icon today.

On a very warm, sunny Tuesday morning, I drove over to West LA for a coveted sit down interview for the newly released film The Road Within all by myself. I didn’t have to share the room with other journalists (who were all sitting in the next room waiting for their turn) – it was just me sitting across from director Gren Wells, and actors Robert Patrick and Robert Sheehan. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. For those of you who know me, when I get nervous, my southern accent comes out.

Have you ever felt different or feel like you don’t belong? If so, this film shows you that you matter – maybe not to everyone, but you do matter to someone. It only takes one person to show you that are loved to make a big difference. The stories that make up The Road Within aren’t just about the illnesses plaguing our trio. The label of being normal is a stigma our society can’t seem to let go of. What is normal, anyway? The journey Vincent, Alex, and Marie embark on is both a personal and collective one. They learn about themselves through the eyes of others and also discover the ability to control and change their sometimes destructive behavior.

Nothing symbolizes maturity more than getting your first job. Regardless of what that job is and what you go on to do in life, it’s something you never forget. Mine was a paper route delivering the AM and PM editions of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. It was a great way to earn money and I was lucky because my route was all apartment buildings, making my deliveries fast and easy.

With the premiere for “The Billy and Josh Show” only weeks away and the studio breathing down their necks, Billy (Billy Crystal) and Josh (Josh Gad) continue their struggle to find the right balance for their sketch comedy. Will the two stars be able to sort out their differences, both personally and creatively, or is the show doomed to fail?

“I Am Abassin Zadran” is an exciting episode and sets up the season finale perfectly. I hope we’ll see the culmination to the Walter Taffet (guest star Jefferson Mays) story line, what happens with Martha, the close of the Northrup plot and the end of Maurice, and a resolution of what to do with Paige.

This isn’t a tear-jerker series finale, that’s for damn sure. If anything, Justified leaves its fans laughing more than anything, throwing in a gasp or two for good measure. What you thought could happen didn’t and what you hoped would happened also probably didn’t. As I’ve said numerous times throughout my reviews of this final season, Justified has become unpredictable; guess the episodes had to stay that way until the very surprising end. People die, and even hats aren’t safe in Harlan. It’s a bittersweet end but we have to say a final goodbye to Harlan County, Kentucky.

Filler episode at best, “By the Pricking of My Thumb” leaves me wanting. The tiny bit of action, both in and out of the bedroom, provides some excitement during the hour, but I must be honest, this episode is not one of my favorites.

As the conclusion to V.C. Andrew’s Dollanganger series that began with Flowers in the Attic (Flowers), Lifetime presents the final installment, Seeds of Yesterday (Seeds). Although there technically may not be any incest or children locked in attics in Seeds, this television movie has as much juicy drama as all three of its previous stories.

“Clean,” the seventh season premiere of Nurse Jackie picks up right where “Flight,” the sixth season finale left off, catching everyone up on the things Jackie (Edie Falco) did that caused her current situation.

Time is of the essence in “Hibernaculum” with strange new Wesen arriving in Portland who freeze their victims, and Hexenbiests gone wild. This week’s installment of Grimm takes us on one helluva ride where reality is becoming blurred and the past has a way of creeping up on some of our beloved characters. From Monroe (Silas Wier Mitchell) reliving the nightmare he endured in “Wesenrein” and “Tribunal,” to Captain Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz) remembering every detail of being shot and having visions of an evil from beyond, things get a bit frightening in “Hibernaculum.”

If you haven’t heard of Wayward Pines, then hold on to your sanity because this is one show that will test your nerves. Based on the book series by Blake Crouch, the 10-episode limited series of the same name, Wayward Pines, is reminiscent of shows like Twin Peaks and Happy Town which were both ominous and chilling at times. It also has elements of movies like The Village and Signs in the sense that you aren’t sure if people are who they say they are or if the things that go bump in the night are from this world. Coincidentally, the director of these two films, Oscar® and Golden Globe® nominee M. Night Shyamalan, is one of the executive producers of Wayward Pines and directs an episode.
