September 27, 2013 Lori Acken

Bewitching Hour: Julia Ormond And Jenna Dewan-Tatum Play Magical Mother And Daughter in Lifetime’s “Witches of East End.” Joanna Beauchamp is the fiercely protective single mom of two beautiful daughters — sexy, saucy bartender Freya and sweet-natured librarian Ingrid. Though the girls are grown, Joanna has good reason to keep them close. After all, she has given birth to and buried them a dozen times over the course of several centuries and she isn’t eager to do either again. See, the Beauchamp women are witches cursed to repeat a seemingly unbreakable cycle of birth and death, and Joanna is desperate […]

Sons of Anarchy recap: Poenitentia

September 25, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Throughout six seasons, there have been plenty of shocking, disturbing deaths on Sons of Anarchy. The ones that spring to my mind are the innocents: Opie’s wife Donna, the Irish couple that adopted Abel, Tig’s daughter, the nurse who turns out to be Lee Toric’s sister. This episode adds yet another to that list and forever alters the way we view Toric (Donal Logue). As he’s waiting in his hotel room for the DA (CCH Pounder) to show up for their meeting, he gets a little paranoid and has his gun at the ready. Then when the hooker he was […]

Boardwalk Empire recap: “Acres of Diamonds”

September 23, 2013 Matthew Grimm

Upon his introduction last week in HBO’s Boardwalk Empire, Jeffrey Wright’s erudite, scheming and not-a-little-Satan-y Trinidadian Harlem strongman Dr. Narcisse dropped a few sulfurous hints of something ugly and untoward about his racial attitudes. With last night’s episode, we began to see his Machiavellian character and motivation coalesce, even wrapped in the finest suits and Biblical citations. Ep. 39: Inside the Episode After a depraved incident involving his Caucasian wrangler of talent for his entertainment racket, now dead, his wife, now dead, and chief enforcer of newly legit AC nightclub operator Chalky White, Dunn (Eric LaRay Harvey), still alive, Narcisse […]

“The Watsons Go to Birmingham” a moving family film

September 20, 2013 Jeff Pfeiffer

This week marked the 50th anniversary remembrance of the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala. — a notorious, racially motivated crime that killed four little girls and helped gain support for the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. That event marks a pivotal scene in the Hallmark Channel original movie The Watsons Go to Birmingham, premiering Sept. 20 at 8pm ET. The film, based on the Newbery Honor-winning book by Christopher Paul Curtis, also touches on other key civil rights moments from 1963 that we are commemorating this year, including the Birmingham marches and […]

When is series finale of Dexter? How will Dexter end?

September 19, 2013 StayTuned Staff

When is series finale of Dexter? It’s Sunday, Sept. 22 at 9pm ET/PT on Showtime. But let’s start at the beginning … In the Disney version of the fairy tale Pinocchio, the little wooden puppet can become a real live boy if he overcomes his penchant for lying, and shows the noble human traits of bravery and self-sacrifice. It takes awhile, but Pinocchio finally gets it right. A similar desire to become truly human has been a part of Dexter since the first episode. Dexter (Michael C. Hall) has always believed that he lacks the human emotions that allow for […]

Sons of Anarchy recap: “One One Six”

September 18, 2013 StayTuned Staff

Well, we’ve had a week to digest the awful climax of last week’s premiere, in which a young boy shot up a school, but as we start this episode, the characters finally find out. And it’s not just some lead story to shake your head over on the evening news — this one has personal connections to the SAMCRO and consequences. The boy, Matthew, is the son of the girlfriend of Arcadio (Dave Navarro), one of Nero’s (Jimmy Smits) loyal henchmen. And the gun he used belonged to Arcadio, after he bought it from, yes, Jax and company. Let the […]
