What the hell is going on with SAMCRO this season? Gemma’s getting chummy with Sheriff Roosevelt’s wife Rita; a SAMCRO charter in Arizona is cooking up and dealing meth; both Bobby and Piney are becoming increasingly disgruntled with the way Clay is running the club; and AUSA Linc Potter is stirring up a hornet’s nest by re-opening an old murder case.

What will they think of next? Beauty pageants, that’s what. But not your ordinary pageant, oh no. Frank (Danny DeVito) has gotten himself in quite a mess after meeting a guy “in a titty bar” and becoming involved in a children’s pageant when the guy is arrested for “diddling” one of the contestants. At first, the gang doesn’t know kids are involved, so they’re quite disappointed when two little girls waltz into Paddy’s parading around in bathing suits, rather than the bombshells they were expecting. As usual, hilarity ensues.

A hauntingly beautiful and tragic tale. The artistic cinematography is breathtaking. The visuals are absolutely stunning…it’s an astounding celestial dream! The very onset of the film depicts everything in slow motion as the planet Melancholia draws closer on its collision course with Earth. As the story told in two parts continues in a gradual progression, the contrast of the two sisters and their reactions to impending death comes to a bitterly beautiful explosive end.

Love, love, absolutely love Haven! It has drama, mystery, suspense, sarcasm, dark comedy, a little blood and gore, all sprinkled heavily with some supernatural elements. “Based on renowned author Stephen King’s The Colorado Kid, the series follows former FBI agent Audrey Parker (Rose), who becomes a cop in the small town of Haven, Maine, and soon discovers the town’s many secrets, which also holds the key to unlocking the mysteries of her lost past.”

Syfy will present its first ever, two-hour Warehouse 13 season finale on Monday, October 3 from 9-11PM (ET/PT). The most successful series in Syfy’s 18-year history, Warehouse 13 follows a team of government agents who work at a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and preternatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government.

Being a southern gal, I’m always curious to see how much ‘knee slapping, hew-hawing’ stereotyping writers will try to incorporate into a series based in the southern states in order to give it some presumed authenticity. Well, Hart of Dixie does have a heaping helping of what many non-southerners think is typical about the South peppered throughout the premiere, but in all honesty, it isn’t too far off base. Despite some of the cheesy elements sprinkled into the pilot, the series is entertaining, charming, funny, and full of the best southern hospitality this side of the Mason Dixon line!

The season two finale puts you on a bit of a tilt-a-whirl of emotions. You spin around in a tizzy with all the disgustingly funny lines Sean (John Hickey) spits out, only to get jerked into another position dealing with Paul’s (Oliver Platt) neuroses about Cathy’s (Laura Linney) medical bills and his little cocaine habit. Does snorting blow on snow cause brain freeze?

Um… I had such high hopes for New Girl. I miss Damon Wayans Jr. more than I thought I would. “Kryptonite” does absolutely nothing for me. I’ve watched the episode three times and I don’t think I laughed once.

While The Playboy Club isn’t trying to emulate Mad Men (as I noted in last week’s review), it is similar to the various nighttime soaps of eras past. But that’s ok as far as I’m concerned. I loved Peyton Place, a 1960s soap, Dynasty in the 1980s and more recently, Melrose Place (the original) in the 1990s. “Soap opera stories run concurrently, intersect and lead into further developments. An individual episode of a soap opera will generally switch between several different concurrent story threads that may at times interconnect and affect one another or may run entirely independent of each other.” (www.wikipedia.org) I’d say The Playboy Club fits the criteria perfectly.

In “Heroes and Villains,” a sword-wielding vigilante kills an ex-con and triggers one mad-cap caper of an investigation. Now, this is the Castle I know and love. Most notable for its central character’s light-hearted approach to law enforcement, Castle brings back the comic relief (in more ways than one) after last week’s rather serious season opener.

The second half of “Genesis” answers a few questions I have but leaves me with quite a few more: the Sixers have an agenda (though we’re not sure what it is yet); Terra Nova isn’t exactly what it seems; and the alien scratchings aren’t alien at all.

“Tucker and Dale are two best friends on vacation at their dilapidated mountain house, who are mistaken for murderous backwoods hillbillies by a group of obnoxious, preppy college kids. When one of the students gets separated from her friends, the boys try to lend a hand, but as the misunderstanding grows, so does the body count.”

For a season premiere, the pilot is good. I was looking for more drama but then I realized this isn’t your typical reality show. If you want to know the ins and outs of what happens in a designer’s shop, this is the show for you.

Are the Crockers some kind of “trouble” slayers? The larger box Duke finds hidden on his boat contains a variety of items used to possibly stop certain types of “trouble” almost like a supernatural kit for warding off and defending oneself against a “troubled” person. But what strikes me as extremely odd is a passage in Simon’s journal telling Duke he has to “kill her.” When the page is turned, there is a photo of Audrey circa 27 years ago.

I think it’s safe to say The Vampire Diaries is the best supernatural/vampire/werewolf show on TV. Yes, even better than True Blood, the show which—to me—should still be able to claim that title.

Yes, I can affirmatively declare Sarah Addison Allen is one of my favorite authors. I’m beyond absorbed by the magic she sprinkles delicately through each of her romantic novels.

There are three storylines in this episode: Mac and Frank being plucked out of the ocean by a yacht filled with guidos and guidettes; Dennis and Dee’s wild adventures with a bunch of crazy wacked-out petty thieves; and Charlie spending a romantic evening on the beach with Rose (Mary Elizabeth Ellis), the waitress he’s been obsessed with over the seasons. What happens and how these stories come together at the end of the episode is what makes me laugh so hard, I almost pee my pants!

From Magnolia Pictures and the director of Cocaine Cowboys comes the Official Selection at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, “Limelight,” an exuberant documentary about the owner of several of New York’s hottest clubs in the 1980s: Limelight, Tunnel, Palladium and Club USA. “Limelight” offers a wild ride through this dead chapter in the history of NYC nightlife.

This is also a very special documentary — not only is it directed and produced by Martin Scorcese who recently picked up a much-deserved Emmy® for directing the season premiere of Boardwalk Empire, much of it is told in Harrison’s own words. There are also interviews with his closest friends, performances, photographs and home movies, many of which are rare and unseen footage.
