Dance Moms cancer special recap: Dance Moms Cares

January 14, 2014 Lori Acken

Yes, I know. I told you I’d be skipping school this week, but it’s the Dance Moms cancer special and I’m a breast cancer survivor, myself, so I can hardly bail out on this one, now can I? Plus, it was actually a feel-good episode, despite its serious subject matter, so let’s celebrate that, too. We start out at Abby’s house, where she is having a chat with her 86-year-old mom Maryen Lorrain Miller, who looks lovely given her serious health issues. Abby tells her that the girls are off to Starbound in Atlantic City because it’s a benefit for […]

VOD Spotlight: Building the Landscapes of “Riddick”

January 14, 2014 Meredith Ennis

Vin Diesel returns for his third go-round as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy. The film picks up some years after the events of the previous film, The Chronicles of Riddick, with Riddick left for dead on a sun-scorched planet and forced to defend himself from an alien race of predators. Though Riddick required many visual effects, it was important to the production team to not have the entire film shot on green screen. Indeed, they wanted sets that could anchor the actors in their environment. Production designer Joseph Nemec designed the […]

January 13, 2014 Barb Oates

Magician Andrew Mayne helps people get even using magic in his humorous “OMG, how did he do that” series Don’t Trust Andrew Mayne. In our interview with Andrew Mayne, the prankster didn’t reveal his secrets but did give us insights on his 13-episode new series that debuts Monday, Jan. 13 at 10pm.

TCA: Bill Lawrence thinks FOX’s Surviving Jack “is gonna work”

January 13, 2014 StayTuned Staff

Bill Lawrence kept saying during the Television Critics Association press tour panel for FOX’s new Surviving Jack, “I think this show’s gonna work.” Often he was saying it for purposes of holding court, making sure silences never grew awkward, until it became something of a recurring gag similar to one you might see in a Lawrence-produced show like Scrubs or Cougar Town. But it was also, despite the silliness of the occasion, something he was obviously serious about. Surviving Jack is another autobiographical effort from co-creator Justin Halpern, who gave the world @#$% My Dad Says. Not that he’s proud […]
