Advance Review: #Justified “The Gunfighter” (Revenge, New Players, and the Pee-Pee Dance?)
After being shot, Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) is definitely off his game. With Boyd (Walton Goggins) finally within reach of getting his revenge on Dickie (Jeremy Davies) for shooting his beloved Ava (Joelle Carter); the new player Robert Quarles (Neal McDonough) shaking up the Dixie Mafia like he’s churning butter; and Ava showing some serious gumption in Boyd’s stead, it’s getting down and dirty in Harlan.

Guest Editorial: Spartacus: Vengeance (The New Man in the Arena – Liam McIntyre)
In 2010, Starz released the ultra-ambitious 13-episode series Spartacus: Blood and Sand, which was based on the gladiator revolt led by a slave named Spartacus in ancient Rome. The show quickly garnered a cult-like following among fans of historical fiction and action. Full of blood, sex, and violence, the show was both astonishing and revolutionary, somewhat in the vein of films like 300, but also very unique in the limits it pushed.

Advance Review: Lost Girl, “It’s a Fae, Fae, Fae World” (“…like the 4th of July in my mouth!”) #LostGirl @Syfy
Lost Girl has me spellbound! It’s sexy, engaging, funny, and absolutely entertaining; with fresh characters we don’t see much of on television. Lost Girl is about a young woman named Bo (Anna Silk). Bo is a tall, dark haired, sexy loner with a killer kiss. She doesn’t know it yet, but she is part of an ancient race of supernatural beings known as the Fae and she is a Succubus who feeds off sexual energy. Lost Girl is a colorful mix of supernatural drama, light and dark comedy, with a little sex appeal to spice up your Monday nights!

TV News: E!’s “Fashion Police” Expands to One Hour This March
I’m going to say it up front — I love Fashion Police! Besides being a fan of fashion, I love Joan Rivers’ unique brand of humor. Each week, I get some good old fashioned belly laughs on Friday night as I watch Joan, Kelly Osborne, Giuliana Ranic and George Kossiopolis offer up their unapologetic critiques of fashion and pop culture to their fans.

A Bud Bonfire, A Taser-Proof Thug and New “Jobs” for Everyone. Review: Shameless – “Summertime”
What can I say about the second season premiere of Shameless other than I absolutely loved it! The Gallaghers are back and at the top of their game – conning everyone around them. Their bad behavior is as essential as their love for one another. Frank (William H. Macy) reaches a new all-time low; darling Fiona (Emily Rossum) deals with Steve’s (Justin Chatwin) departure; Debby (Emma Kenney) is running an illegal daycare center; Lip (Jeremy Allen White) is in a fight club and selling weed out of an old ice cream truck; and Ian (Cameron Monaghan), who’s still in the closet for the most part, is serious about going to West Point.

Review: The Vampire Diaries “The New Deal” (Who’s in the Locked Coffin?)
The return of The Vampire Diaries has finally come and I was super excited to see what the writers had in store for us. Only, I’m slightly disappointed there was no major breakthrough in the storyline we were left with last year. Yes, it was great to see the characters again and fall into the world of Mystic Falls, Virginia, but I think “The New Deal” is a filler episode—and not a great one at that.

Exclusive Interview – Part 2: Walter Salles and the Beat Museum Keep the Spirit of the Beats Alive – The Filming and Cast of On The Road
In Part 2 of my exclusive interview with Jerry Cimino and Walter Salles, we focus more on the film itself. Specifically, can a film based on a book set in the 1950s and published in 1957 remain relevant in today’s world? Will the book’s themes, translated into film, resonate well with audiences? Initially, I focused the discussion on the relevance of the Beats in today’s world but it was inevitable we would end up exploring the process and expectations that come from interpreting a book into film, as well as talking about the film and cast.

Exclusive Interview! Walter Salles and the Beat Museum Keep the Spirit of the Beats Alive – The Keeping of a Secret: Part 1
Jerry Cimino, director and founder of San Francisco’s Beat Museum, had been searching for a car, specifically a Hudson, for over five years to add to the Museum’s collection but when he finally found it, he had to keep his excitement hushed for a whole year as the vehicle came to him via a film project that was still in progress. It was the ’49 Hudson used in Walter Salles’ On The Road, one of the most anticipated films of 2012.
