now available on dvd: world war z

October 1, 2013 No Comments

Fall season isn’t the best time to dig into the dvd queue but it’s been awhile since we looked at what might be out:

The Bling Ring (9/17) – Sofia Coppola’s latest is an interesting if not all that engaging take on the real life thieves of the rich and vacuous.
Oz the Great and Powerful (6/10) – Never quite found its ground with characters or story, but I’m game for almost any take on all things Oz.
Star Trek Into Darkness (9/10) – Not as great as the first in this reboot but still an enjoyable take on the characters and slight alt version.
This is the End (10/1) – A pretty decent take on world destruction and celebrity inside jokes, still leans a little too into the dumb humor.
World War Z (9/17) – Apparently not true to the book at all, and maybe not all that believable, but a whole lot of tense fun.

Possibly checking out: Amour (8/20), Behind the Candelabra (9/17), The Great Gatsby (8/27), Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (8/19), Identity Thief (6/4), Iron Man 3 (9/24), Killing Season (8/19), Mud (8/6), Now You See Me (9/3), On the Road (8/6), The Place Beyond the Pines (8/6), Redemption (9/24), Sharknado (9/2), Spring Breakers (7/9), Venus and Serena (7/2).

intriguing new fall tv

September 23, 2013 No Comments

As with all fall seasons there is a feeling of measured optimism about a few shows. Measured because there is just so much that can go right or wrong. I guess we have to start somewhere, here’s what’s at the top of my list:

The Blacklist (NBC) – James Spader as an evil mastermind with a plan, ok it doesn’t look revolutionary but of the new procedurals this interests me most.
Brooklyn 9-9 (Fox) – Andy Samberg might have found the right amount of funny, and a dose of Andre Braugher doesn’t hurt.
The Crazy Ones (CBS) – Sarah Michelle Geller and Robin Williams back on tv, of course it’s worth a shot.
Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD (ABC) – I think we all know I’ll watch anything made by Joss Whedon and this side take on his superheroes has great potential.
The Michael J. Fox Show (NBC) – Excited to see him back on a regular basis and we all know he’s willing to use his current medical state for good story fodder.
Trophy Wife (ABC) – This year’s new take on the mixed family and the cast lends to a lot of good potential.

And for a few other things that could be hidden gems

Almost Human (Fox) – It’s a robot partner future cop show, hmm…
Back in the Game (ABC) – So if Walter Matthau (Bad News Bears) had a daughter who started coaching little league… oh and her dad’s there (who is clearly not Walter).
Betrayal (ABC) – It’s like Revenge but maybe not as campy, maybe more like Unfaithful, I don’t know there’s some cheating and a lot of complications.
Dads (Fox) – Dubbed by many as the least funny show on the lineup, let’s hope they don’t waste Seth Green, Peter Riegert, Martin Mull, and Giovanni Ribisi.
Dracula (NBC) – A ‘unique’ take on the vampire with Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
Hostages (CBS) – Rumor has it the family gets to leave the house they’re being held hostage in to make Toni Collette kill the president in surgery.
Goldbergs (ABC) – The 80s was a great decade but I’m not sure this family comedy set then is a great one.
Ironside (NBC) – Blair Underwood is a great lead, but him in a wheelchair fighting his demons and the case of the week may not be great.
Once Upon A Time In Wonderland (ABC) – I skipped out on Once Upon a Time so not even sure I’m game for another pilot.
Lucky 7 (ABC) – Lottery winners lives are changed, I feel like I’ve seen this and it’s never done well.
The Millers (CBS) – Will Arnett, Margo Martindale and Beau Bridges in a family comedy deserve a watch.
Mom (CBS) – Anna Faris and Allison Janney as problemed mother/daughter have the potential for some laughs.
The Originals (CW) – Another spin off whose original series, The Vampire Diaries, I don’t watch.
Reign (CW) – Period drama CW style.
Sean Saves the World (NBC) – I want Sean Hayes to be in a funny show and though the advance word isn’t strong, you never know with a sitcom.
Sleepy Hollow (Fox) – Turns out a ridiculous premise has the potential to be just funny enough to be amusing and maybe even good.
Super Fun Night (ABC) – Rebel Wilson can be funny but the critics haven’t had super great things to say.
The Tomorrow People (CW) – The latest super hero drama, I think it’s like Heroes on the network that likes pretty people.
We Are Men (CBS) – Jilted and divorced men bring on the comedic intent, Tony Shalhoub, Kal Penn and Jerry O’Connell hopefully get some funny.
Welcome to the Family (NBC) – So a couple of disparate familied graduating teens get pregnant instead of their intended plans, blah blah.

And then of course there’s mid season… What are you most excited to see?

Shows mostly listed in alphabetical order stay tuned to ‘next week’s for premiere dates.

new and noteworthy tv: 9/23-9/29

September 21, 2013 No Comments

My first fall conflict, I’ll catch The Black List Saturday while I give Castle and Hostages a run…

Monday

How I Met Your Mother/2 Broke Girls/Mom/Hostages (CBS, 8/9/9:30/10pm) Season/Series Premieres – There have been moments of great humor throughout the years on HIMYM and here’s hoping the final season brings some of those, I can’t recommend Broke but I have to admit I’ve tuned in and chuckled, so here’s to hoping Mom has a few of its own with Anna Faris and Allison Janney and Hostages can extend a movie premise into a series for Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott.
The Voice/The Blacklist (NBC, 8/10pm) Season/Series Premieres – I’m out on Voice but you know, the original judges are back, then James Spader returning is always worth a look.
Black Ink Crew (VH1, 9:30pm) Season Premiere – More tattoo parlor drama.
Castle (ABC, 10pm) Season Premiere – Beckett won’t leave the show but they will undoubtedly continue to manufacture some ridiculous relationship drama.

Tuesday

Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD/The Goldbergs/Trophy Wife/Lucky 7 (ABC, 8/9/9:30/10pm) Series Premieres – Cautiously optimistic for any Joss Whedon show as these agents protect us, less optimistic for 80s flashback sitcom and the latest lottery winners but sandwiched in there is Malin Akerman and Bradley Whitford bringing some potential funny to family life.
NCIS/NCIS: Los Angeles/Person of Interest (CBS, 8/9/10pm) Season Premieres – Yup, I’m out on these.
Income Property (HGTV, 9pm) Season Premiere – Basement apartment anyone?
Fangasm (Syfy, 10pm) Series Premiere – Fans become roomies to get ready to embody their, I don’t want to say, geeky Comikaze culture.

Wednesday

The Middle/Back in the Game/Modern Family/Nashville (ABC, 8/8:30/9/10pm) Season/Series Premieres – The return of some family funnies around a new take on the Bad News Bears, followed by a show that I dug starting last season but I somehow have 19 saved on my TiVo.
Revolution (NBC 8pm) Season Premiere – The power of the power, not so much for me.
Criminal Minds/CSI (CBS, 9/10pm) Season Premieres – Crimes and killers, fortunately for me another pass.

Thursday

The Big Bang Theory/The Crazy Ones/ Two and a Half Men/Elementary (CBS, 8/9/9:30/10pm) Season/Series Premieres – I am still enjoying the expanded cast on this show, have my fingers crossed for the return of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Robin Williams, skip the men but am back for more Sherlock and Watson cases.
Parks & Recreation/The Michael J. Fox Show/Parenthood (NBC, 8pm) Season/Series Premieres – Was loving MJF on Good Wife but here’s a return to comedic form in what I hope is a nice pairing with P&R followed by more Braverman drama.
Glee (Fox, 9pm) Season Premiere – The show must go on.
Grey’s Anatomy (ABC, 9pm) Season Premiere – What ridiculous drama must these hospital employees survive next?

Friday

Masterchef (Fox, 8pm) Season Premiere – Junior edition.
Undercover Boss/Hawaii Five-0/Blue Bloods (CBS, 8/9/10pm) Season Premieres – Let’s pretend I don’t watch these on Friday just because I have too busy a social life.
Dateline (NBC, 9pm) Season Premiere – It’s newsy.

Saturday

48 hours (CBS, 10pm) Season Premiere – It’s newsy.
Saturday Night Live (NBC, 11:29) Season Premiere – Tina Fey and Arcade Fire.

Sunday

60 Minutes/The Amazing Race/The Good Wife/The Mentalist (CBS, 7/8/9/10pm) Season Premieres – Newsy, and then I skip the Race which peeps enjoy but tune back for Wife and Mental.
Once Upon a Time/Revenge/Betrayal (ABC, 8/9/10pm) Season/Series Premieres – I’m anticipating dropping Betrayal like I did the two earlier shows, but worth a look.
The Simpsons/Bobs Burgers/The Family Guy/American Dad (Fox, 8/8:30/9/9:30pm) Season Premieres – Animation domination.
Instant Mom (Nick, 8:30pm) Series Premiere – Tia Mowry returns to sitcom form as a new step mom.
Breaking Bad (9pm) Series Finale – Apparently people are into this show which wraps its run tonight.
Homeland/Masters of Sex (Show, 9/10pm) Season/Series Premieres – Another drama joins the lineup with a look at early sex researchers.
Eric & Jessie (E!, 10pm) Series Premiere – Eric Decker and his fiance…

returning fall favorites

September 17, 2013 No Comments

Some new stuff is a’coming but before we get caught up in the new shiny things here are some of the tried and true that I’m most looking forward to:

The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 9/26) – This show is still good for a chuckle and the upping of the gal pals doesn’t hurt.
Elementary (CBS, 9/26) – Sherlock and Watson in a new modern day slant, I dig them and it.
The Good Wife (CBS, 9/29) – Still one of my fave dramas, balancing good characters and story.
Grimm (NBC, 10/25) – Ghoul of the week in a fairy tale kind of way kept me coming back.
Hart of Dixie (CW) – Our big city doctor may not be all that revolutionary but sometimes you need a cute small town show.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia/The League (FXX) – So wrong they’re right.
Luther (BBCA) – Ok this is basically already done but I love some Luther.
The Mentalist (CBS, 9/29) – Slightly odd no longer fake psychic still keeps me intrigued.
The Middle (ABC, 9/25) – Good ole middle American family comedy, under the radar but worth a look and a laugh.
The Mindy Project/New Girl (Fox, 9/17) – These ladies and their supporting casts both got a good stride last year.
Parenthood (NBC, 9/26) – The Braverman’s are always getting into some trouble or another, but I just want them all to be happy.
Parks & Recreation (NBC, 9/26) – When they’re on, this might be my favorite comedy on tv.
Sons of Anarchy (Fx, 9/10) – Damn those MC guys can’t just chillax, lots of drama and conflict and lack of impulse control, all in the name of trying to make something or other right.
The Walking Dead (AMC, 10/13) – Zombie fun and what’s the right choice in the new world order?

Honorable Mention (aka still on the TiVo): Bones (Fox), Castle (ABC, 9/23) How I Met Your Mother (CBS, 9/23), Modern Family (ABC, 9/25).

What are you most looking forward to?

Tuesday

Dads/Brooklyn Nine-Nine/New Girl/The Mindy Project (Fox, 8/8:30/9/9:30pm) Series/Season Premieres – Supposedly one of the worst new shows (offensive and not funny?) and then one with potential Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher make policing funny followed by two shows that found their stride last season.
