Interview: Josh Hartnett on Showtime’s “Penny Dreadful”

April 30, 2014 Jeff Pfeiffer

An overall sense of mystery has pervaded Showtime’s new psychological horror series Penny Dreadful, premiering Sunday, and that is probably fitting. The eight-episode Victorian-era series is set in 1891 London and focuses on some of the scariest characters in literature, including Dracula, Dorian Gray, and Dr. Frankenstein and his creature. Bringing the gruesomeness and horror to life is an eclectic cast that includes Josh Hartnett, Eva Green and Timothy Dalton. The show is created, written and executive produced by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, Gladiator), and also executive produced by Sam Mendes (Skyfall). “As the show sort of settles […]

Dance Moms Girl Talk recap: What we had was a girl party … sort of

April 29, 2014 Lori Acken

Well, Dance Moms nation, those of you who predicted last week that this week’s Girl Talk special was going to be a little, er, shall we say … stagey? You called it. I was really, really hoping for the dress-up version of a slumber party where we were all in the same room telling secrets and giggling and eating junk food and calling Candy Apple boy dancers and singing into hair brushes. No moms. No Abby. No such luck. • RELATED: Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller on Dancing with the Stars May 5 We’re doing this several kids at […]

April 29, 2014 Lori Acken

Jack Bauer’s back, 24 fans — and he has another burgeoning global disaster on his hands. When last we saw him in 24’s 2010 series finale, Kiefer Sutherland’s rogue U.S. agent was on the run, aided by his loyal comrade, acting CTU chief Chloe O’Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub), who ordered the drone tracking his every move shut down as the final clock ran out. Now a new countdown begins as the much-anticipated 24: Live Another Day begins its 12-episode run this month. Yes, that theoretically means two hours per episode this time, but the show’s producers promise that Live Another […]

Interview with Brett Dalton of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” Part 2

April 29, 2014 Gerry Strauss

We recently had an engaging conversation with Brett Dalton from Marvel’s  Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (Tuesdays at 8pm ET on ABC) who discussed everything from his love for comic books to where the series is headed. Here’s part 2 of our Q&A with Dalton who plays Agent Grant Ward. With the exception of Clark Gregg’s Agent Coulson, who appeared in several Marvel films, most of your show’s core characters were created specifically for the TV show. Has it been liberating to help create new personalities and stories, as opposed to adapting or continuing the legacies of characters that fans had already […]

New True Tori Tonight. And Tori Cheated On Hubby #1. Surprised?

April 29, 2014 Kellie Freeze

Just as I guessed after last week’s juicy True Tori tease…this week’s episode reveals that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott cheated on their previous souses with each other! Given that Tori and Dean married each other a few weeks after Tori’s divorce to hubby #1 was finalized, it seemed pretty obvious that there was some marital infidelity involved. If Dean (and Tori) has already been shown to be a cheater, is it any surprise that there’d be cheating again? Once you’re okay with flexible fidelity, don’t be surprised when the same flexibility is leveraged against you. Lifetime has shared a […]

VOD Spotlight: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

April 29, 2014 Meredith Ennis

As director of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Ben Stiller (who also stars in the title role) wanted to keep everything as realistic as possible, even when filming Walter’s fantasy life. This led to shooting in locations as varied as New York City and Iceland. In New York, Stiller chose to shoot the epic chase between Walter and Ted in the live-wire dynamics of a typical crowded day in the city. To simulate Walter and Ted flying and bounding through Manhattan on makeshift skates and skis, Stiller and costar Adam Scott were placed in a mobile rig that suspended […]
