Exclusive Movie Trailer: "The Last Circus" 1

Written and directed by Álex de la Iglesia, The Last Circus has received many accolades from media and print reporters alike. According to Variety, “Cult status is assured.” From the Village Voice, “Makes Pan’s Labyrinth look like Sesame Street.”And from Harry Knowles at AICN, “BRILLIANT. A GREAT FILM. A searing, intimate work riffing on Hitchcock, DePalma, Fellini, the Universal Monster films and German Expressionism.” You can’t get higher praise than that. A winner at the 2010 Venice Film Festival, The Last Circus opens at theaters this weekend.

Review: #WilfredFX , Season 1, Ep 10 "Isolation" (Won't you be my neighbor?) 2

Jenna thinks Ryan’s been on vacation because his blinds are closed and she hasn’t seen him in three days. Wilfred seems a bit perturbed by Ryan’s absence, thinking he’s avoiding him. And why does Ryan think he has to impress his neighbors? What’s the moral – be kind to your neighbors because never know when you’ll need them? And don’t get hand-jobs from heroin-addled bums…just don’t… period.

Review: #WilfredFX , Season 1, Ep 9 "Compassion" ("everybody's a little coo-coo") 3

While I enjoyed “Compassion,” it was a bit lackluster for me. I think Mary Steenburgen did a fantastic job of being the kooky mom but overall, the episode had only a few moments of ‘ha ha’ and not the usual ‘LOL! OMG! WTF!’ Of course, this episode has a grander purpose so I’ll excuse the shortage of guffaws.

Review: Rescue Me, S7, E6 - "344" 4

“344” is rife with dramatic dialogue which rivets me to my seat, intently listening to each conversation. While there aren’t as many comedic scenes as usual this week, that’s ok. Rescue Me is, after all, a very dark show. Tommy is extremely affected by a visit to Ground Zero, which manifests itself in several different ways.

What an interesting storyline this week. A sex offender is found murdered on a job site. And the laughs just continue on. “Sure you don’t want to just cover him up and call it a day?”

Finally, things come to a head with Ashley and her parents. It’s about time this kid is put in her place. Speaking of kids — Oh. My. God. If my kids were as bad as Teresa’s, I’d shoot myself! All they have to do is pose for pictures for Teresa’s newest cookbook, “Fabulicious,” and everyone can go home. But no. They have to cry and fuss. Teresa is really wearing rose-colored glasses if she thinks her girls are good.

“Roots” keeps me rooted to my seat! Mysterious disappearances, decades old family drama, greed, jealousy, humor, and sex – what more could you ask for? It’s also the first Twitter-integrated episode. As Audrey gets closer to Chris, Nathan is left alone in the barn…And who is Evi calling after Duke declines her offer to run away to Mexico?

TV News: TNT Renews "Leverage" for a Fifth Season 15

It’s not surprising to me that TNT has renewed its fast-paced drama Leverage. It grows in viewership each season, and rightfully so. It’s a modern day Robin Hood, if you will, and who doesn’t love stories that involve taking from the rich and giving to the poor. Especially in this day and age when so many people are struggling to keep their heads above water. Leverage is such a fun show and I couldn’t be happier.

TV News and Clip: Like to Be Scared? FX Wants You to "Let Them In" 16

I don’t know about you, but I’m scared – just from watching the “clues” FX has been sending about its new fall series, American Horror Story. So I can’t wait to watch the series which premieres Wednesday, October 5 at 10:00 pm ET/PT. I mean, who doesn’t love a good thriller? Remember how scared you were when you first saw Friday the 13th or Scream? Now fans are getting a chance to be just as scared as the characters on the show, simply by letting FX in.

Review: #WilfredFX , Season 1, Ep. 8 "Anger" (Dead Rats, Possessed Dogs, and 20 yr old lies) 18

Ryan is having a recurring dream about his childhood dog Sneakers; Wilfred vies for Kristen’s attention after Ryan mentions she hates him – and what says “I adore you” better than a dead rodent? And has Sneakers come back to avenge his death? I love the little morality lessons that are peppered into each episode of Wilfred.

As one of my favorite shows this summer, I was very happy to hear the news today that USA has renewed Suits for a second season. From the very first episode, I was hooked, and in my Advance Review of the new series, wrote “Suits grabbed me from the opening scene and kept me interested and amused throughout the entire hour. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The writing is sharp and witty and the characters perfectly acted. While the show has a serious undertone to it, it’s lighthearted enough to make this a very pleasant and enjoyable show, fitting perfectly into USA’s network of characters.” I think I hit the proverbial nail right on the head.

I don’t want to ruin the fun you’ll have watching everyone’s plans come to fruition. I will tell you it involves getting dirt on Keppler, a free-for-all at a bar between the cops and the firefighters, figuring out the name of the guy Mike slept with and confronting him, and an award-winning performance by Callie Thorne for delivering the blows that end Tommy’s suspension. You just can’t keep a good man down. Wait. Did I say ‘good?’

Review: White Collar, S3, E10 - "Countdown" - Mid-Season Finale 24

White Collar draws taut the strings of anticipation in a tensely-wrought, well-played mid-season finale. “Countdown” reminds us just who these lead characters are – “Gotham City’s finest Cop and Robber” – while at the same time forcing each man to decide who they want to be. And the way everything comes together at the end of this episode is going to make waiting for the winter premiere excruciating.
