Charlie’s Angels 2011 – Premier

Charlie’s Angels 2011 – Premier

Although I have been a strong supporter and promoter for the 2011 re-imagining of Charlie’s Angels, I will not lie and say that I wasn’t worried that it would turn out to be a stinker. I am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised that the pacing, action and story was done in a way to keep me interested from beginning to end. This may not be your...

Game of Thrones – Premier

Game of Thrones – Premier

The highly anticipated Game of Thrones on HBO has premiered and it is everything that I expected and more. The high production value, superb acting and amazing costumes are just the tip of the iceberg for this show as we are given some really adult setup to what will be a cluster-f*ck of amazing proportions as the season progresses. The show was candy for my...

Boardwalk Empire – Premiere

Boardwalk Empire – Premiere

With the high-pitched 1920’s era tunes blaring, the dress of the day in full effect and a sea of pink faces scattered across the narrow streets of Atlantic City, Boardwalk Empire blazes across the screen in a scorching premier only worthy of the HBO family of shows. Steve Buscemi (everybody’s favorite supporting actor) is the lead in this new series...

Southland – a fresh take on Police Drama

Southland – a fresh take on Police Drama

This isn’t The Shield, Law and Order or CSI, this is a dramatic take on the everyday lives of a handful of LAPD Cops and the atrocities they face in a gang nation. Southland offers nothing new in terms of police drama but that shouldn’t be a reason to avoid watching it as I found it to be a very well shot, well acted bit of television. Like most of these...
