Food Network Star winner Damaris Phillips tells us about her new show ‘Southern at Heart’

October 29, 2013 Lori Acken

En route to her Food Network Star Season 9 victory, Kentucky-born culinary instructor Damaris Phillips won over the judges and viewers alike with her quirky Southern charm and heart-on-her-sleeve openness. So when Phillips looked positively subdued during the live season finale — and even after she was declared the winner — fans of her sunny style couldn’t help but wonder what was going through her mind. In a word, says Phillips, nothing. “I just wanted to shut my eyes,” Phillips recalls. “I was like, ‘I’ll just close my eyes and when it happens I’ll know if I won or not […]

Boardwalk Empire Season 4 Episode 8 recap: ‘The Old Ship of Zion’

October 28, 2013 Matthew Grimm

Dunn Purnsley (Erik LaRay Harvey) came to Atlantic City seeking whatever main chance the city’s rough underworld might afford him. It initially ran him afoul of the boss of the city’s African-American ward, Chalky White (Michael K. Williams). Chalky, like all men of dubious trade, saw value in Dunn’s skills and the zeal with which he employed them, but the cloud looming over all seekers of the main chance, as Chalky finally discovered on last night’s Boardwalk Empire, is that they are by nature narcissists and serving themselves will trump all commitment to anything greater, which means their course of […]

The Walking Dead Season 4 episode 3 recap: ‘Isolation’

October 27, 2013 Lori Acken

The prison is a complicated place these days. Just a few episodes back, the populace was divided neatly in two — Grimes gang and not‚ and only at night. Now people are isolated because they are sick … and sicker still. The young and still healthy are over here. The grown and still healthy are over there. Pods of people everywhere, kept from one another as best they can manage. It’s no longer about who is outsider and who is not. It’s about who is harboring a killer in his or her bloodstream. And if anyone is not. After three […]

It Takes A Choir: Gareth Malone heals wounded hearts through song on USA Network

October 26, 2013 Lori Acken

UPDATE: USA Network has postponed It Takes a Choir until 2014. “I think there’s a raw power when you hear a group of people singing as one,” says British choirmaster Gareth Malone. “And if you’re in the same room as them, then it’s absolutely thrilling.” He should know. A lifelong music devotee, Malone earned national fame in his homeland — and a much-deserved BAFTA award — for the BBC series The Choir, which chronicled the dapper director transforming downtrodden Brits through the power of communal song. Now Malone has taken his mission stateside in USA Network’s uplifting new series It […]
