Interview: Matthew McConaughey talks HBO’s True Detective

January 6, 2014 Lori Acken

Ask Matthew McConaughey what convinced him to tackle his first ever television series, HBO’s True Detective, and he offers up two things: the sheer power of screenwriter Nic Pizzolatto’s scripts and the chance to start some drama with his longtime pal Woody Harrelson … if only onscreen. “This is the third time we’ve worked together and it’s the first time not in a comedy, which I was really excited about,” says McConaughey. “The thing about Woody and I is that personally we’re such good friends that if he starts something, I end it. If I start something, he ends it. […]

“Killer Women”: Tricia Helfer kicks butt as a no-nonsense Texas Ranger

January 6, 2014 Barb Oates

Of all the notorious lawmen who patrol the violent Texas frontier, none are more storied than the Texas Rangers. But being one of the first female rangers in this elite squad isn’t going to stop ballsy, badass Molly Parker (Tricia Helfer). Molly is committed to finding the truth and seeing justice served. Killer Women is from executive producer Sofía Vergara (Modern Family). She’s sore, dirty and tired after days of intense filming, but Tricia Helfer is comfortably at home in the role of Texas Ranger Molly Parker in ABC’s new crime drama Killer Women. The 5’10” self-described tomboy has been […]

5 Things To Love About Justified Season 5

January 5, 2014 StayTuned Staff

Justified Season 5 is upon us, and while it is indeed sad that Elmore Leonard won’t be around to enjoy it with us, the writers and producers have given us plenty of reasons to rejoice in returning to Harlan County, Ky., to follow the exploits of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant). The three episodes the network has sent out for preview contain the same laconic charm mixed with brutal violence that has been the show’s hallmark. Here are five reasons I already love Justified Season 5: 1) Guest Stars Galore: What’s so cool about the roster of guest stars […]

January 3, 2014 Barb Oates

Fans have a love hate relationship going with Emma Hill on The Following, Joe Carroll’s (James Purefoy) most devoted follower. Valorie Curry, who plays the infamous Emma Hill, gives us some insight into her character and what to expect when it comes to Season 2 of The Following. Prepare yourself, as Curry says Season 2 of The Following is going to be even more shocking! The series returns on FOX with a special preview immediately after the Jan. 19 NFC championship game, and then it moves to its regular timeslot on Mondays beginning Jan. 27. The Following’s memorable season finale […]

Interview: Billy Campbell of Syfy’s “Helix”

January 2, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

“I kind of think of this show as a mashup of The Andromeda Strain, John Carpenter’s The Thing and The Walking Dead,” Billy Campbell tells me of his new Syfy series Helix, premiering Jan. 10. Prior to the interview, watching the pilot, that is almost exactly what I thought about this 13-episode thriller (except, for me, parts of the show called to mind 28 Days Later more so than The Walking Dead). Helix does indeed combine classic sci-fi elements from those titles — a disease outbreak, a group of people at a fairly claustrophobic, remote Arctic outpost, and, eventually, at […]

We talk The Walking Dead Season 4 with Greg Nicotero!

December 31, 2013 Lori Acken

[SPOLIER ALERT: If you are not caught up on the first half of The Walking Dead Season 4 and do not wish to know what has happened to that point, please read no further.] Has it kept you up nights, Walking Dead fans — wondering what will become of Rick Grimes and Co. now that Hershel’s lost his head, The Governor’s a goner and the Grimes gang is splintered, grieving and on the run? Or maybe you’re pondering Carol’s sudden advantage, what with her car, her food, her weapons and her meds — even if Tyreese doesn’t know it was she […]

December 27, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

Having just completed its run in the U.K. — where it was Britain’s highest-rated television drama in 2013 — Downton Abbey Season 4 now makes its way across the pond starting Jan. 5 on PBS and airing eight weeks. Fans know that Season 3 ended with Matthew Crawley lying dead on a country road next to his overturned roadster, leaving behind his wife, Mary (Michelle Dockery), and their newborn baby boy. On top of this, the family still grieves over the death in childbirth of Sybil, Mary’s youngest sister, who also left a baby behind. Season 4 begins six months […]

7 Questions With Jackson Pace of Showtime’s “Homeland”

December 14, 2013 StayTuned Staff

People have strong opinions about Homeland, the explosive drama that will wrap its third season on Showtime at 9pm Sunday, and they often lead to disagreements. But one aspect that has yet to come under fire is the performance of Jackson Pace, the 13-year-old actor who plays Chris Brody, confused son of returned soldier/marked terrorist Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis). Pace took time to answer our “7 Questions,” telling us about his future career plans, and how being on Homeland has affected his worldview. 1) You’re at a magazine rack and can only pick three titles. Which ones do you choose? […]

Scandal recap – “A Door Marked Exit”

December 13, 2013 Sterling Silver

Scandal Recap – “A Door Marked Exit” Intensity-wise, the episode took a step back compared to last week’s episode. However, “A Door Marked Exit” found a way to tie up loose ends while setting the stage for some of next season’s plot lines. It began where the last episode left off, with Vice President Sally Langston (Kate Burton) still in shock over the murder of her husband, Daniel Douglas (Jack Coleman). Her thoughts drifted between the fight and the aftermath as she tried to conceptualize what had happened. She called Cyrus Beane (Jeff Perry), who hired Quinn Perkins (Lindsay Dwyer) […]

Sons of Anarchy recap: “A Mother’s Work”

December 12, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Perhaps there are many occasions when a Sons of Anarchy recap just can’t do justice to what it’s describing. I’ll go ahead and tell you all the things that happened in the Season 6 finale, but it can’t match the power of seeing it. But be warned, this is going to hurt, and probably make you mad and want to go into a Jax-like rage of spitting out your words then yelling uncontrollably for a sentence or two then kicking something. Tara (Maggie Siff) is the subject of everyone’s curiosity, with most of the club assuming she had cut a […]
