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.

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.

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.

In the second half of this season, the chess board is shifting once again, showing us that when we strip away the lies of convenience and replace them with lies of necessity, we’re left with an interesting version of the truth. To rescue Elizabeth, the gang unites in a manner that momentarily erases previous hurts and betrayals.

Bewildered would best describe my current mental state with regards to the season finale of one of the most intriguing and diverse new shows on television. American Horror Story crosses into perplexing and often times controversial territory with its writing and story arcs, but after taunting us with so much potential of what could have happened with Vivien’s (Connie Britton) unique fraternal twins, I feel a little cheated with “Afterbirth.”

I know everyone has an opinion about the season finale of Homeland, whether you’re happy about Brody (Damian Lewis) not blowing up Vice President Walden (Jamey Sheridan), astonished at Brody killing Walker (Chris Chalk), or unhappy about not knowing who the mole is. Now we have an opportunity to hear about “Marine One” from the showrunners themselves.

Now that the freshman season of FX’s critically acclaimed series American Horror Story has come to an end, fans have the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at what went into some of our favorite episodes.

Rarely do I give six stars to an episode I’m reviewing, but “Marine One” more than deserves it. From the minute the episode begins, it’s clear we’re in for another roller coaster ride of an episode—which makes sense since we’ve been on them all season long. What an exciting season finale! “Marine One” successfully builds the tension and intrigue throughout, taking us on a series of highs and lows which had me barely breathing through key scenes and ultimately had me on the edge of my seat for the entire 90 minutes. I can’t remember the last time a series did that for me. It was thrilling, compelling, intriguing, and mesmerizing all at the same time.

Beginning January 7, Saturday Night Live brings us an impressive line-up of guest and musical stars for the new year starting with Charles Barkley and Kelly Clarkson and their return to studio 8H.

Seems everyone is vying for Viven’s twins. Even “the gays” want in on the action. But if Grandma Constance (Jessica Lange) has anything to do with it, “the fairies,” Chad (guest star Zachary Quinto) and Patrick (guest star Teddy Sears) won’t stand a chance. Who wants the child the most? Is it the house? Nora? Constance? Does the child represent evil incarnate?

All new episodes of Psych to premiere on Wednesday, February 29 at 10/9c
Dec 16 2011
For what, at times, can be ridiculous, Psych is extremely funny. I’m still enjoying the show though this is my first season watching it. Yes, I’m tardy for the party, but I say better late than never.

You know how sometimes, things don’t turn out to be exactly how you remember them? That’s exactly the case with “High School Reunion, Part 2: The Gang’s Revenge.” When Dennis (Glenn Howerton) and Dee (Kaitlin Olson) are left alone at a table during their high school reunion, they begin to formulate a plan to get back into the good graces of those who left them there. (See review of Part 1 here). Until Dennis decides seeking revenge would be much better than trying to reconnect and Dee agrees.

The funny just isn’t funny enough and I wish there were more silly office party antics. Now the baby shower in last week’s “Bad in Bed” was hilarious. We need more of that.

The season finale of Boss is appropriately called “Choose” because by the time a primary election winner is declared, lines are drawn via tough and personal choices; loyalty is demanded and only a few remain standing. Will Mayor Kane (Kelsey Grammer) retain his power hold over Chicago and if he does, what price will he have to pay?
Dec 12 2011
Levi (Luke Wilson) finally issues the SOS Amy (Laura Dern) has been waiting for and Damon (Charles Esten) grants Amy the opportunity to present her research findings at a meeting with her former group. Amy views the presentation as her ticket back to her old team. As personal and work-related conflicts hit a boiling point in ”Burn It Down”, will Levi agree to get the help he needs? Will the presentation offer Amy a way back to her old department? Or will the ever strong-willed Amy figure out an alternate way to pave her own future?

When we last saw Carrie (Claire Danes), she was in the hospital after almost being blown to bits in an explosion she was trying to prevent. Now, she’s trying to recover but her manic depression seems to have taken over. In the meantime, Sgt. Nick Brody (Damian Lewis) prepares to take his family on a trip so they can spend some quality time together before his campaign run takes over their lives.

As it sits, I probably wouldn’t recommend Hush, Hush to anyone who takes everything they read literally. It’s good for entertaining anyone above the age of 18, but skirts the line of ‘What Not to Do When Writing a Novel.’ Take that as you will.

To maximize exposure, The CW will air its new reality series REMODELED multiple times during its first two weeks, including special original airings on Tuesdays.

It’s that time of life again—you know, when you attend your high school reunion in the hopes no one will remember the stupid things you used to do and say? Well, that’s what the Gang hopes, anyway. Frank’s (Danny DeVito) going because he just wants to tag along, as usual; Dee (Kaitlin Olson) wants to show off her back sans the brace she used to wear; Dennis (Glenn Howerton) can’t wait to see the “minions” who treated him like a “golden God;” Mac (Rob McElhenney) wants to show everyone he’s an adult now instead of the class clown/drug dealer he used to be; and Charlie…well, Charlie (Charlie Day) really hasn’t changed much since high school.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I did not see this turn of events coming…well, at least not in this particular way. Tate seems truly in love with Violet; he’s willing to go to great lengths to protect her even if it means hurting her father Ben (Dylan McDermott. “Smoldering Children” also introduces us to the ghosts of Larry’s (Denis O’Hare) wife and children who are literally still smoldering with fiery embers. The special effects are nothing short of brilliant.
