Go Into the Light, Peg. Review: Shameless – “Parenthood” @SHO_Kareem @SHO_Shameless

  • 8 mins to read

Sometimes, Shameless pulls some real surprises, and “Parenthood” does a good job of it. Not only does Sheila (Joan Cusack) have a hand in Peg’s (Louise Fletcher) death, but Lip (Jeremy Allen White) leaves home when Fiona (Emily Rossum) tells him it’s “school or leave.” She and Lip had made a pact to finish high school, but he gets expelled because of his antics. Mickey Milkovich (Noel Fisher) wants to kill Frank (William H. Macy) after Frank catches Ian (Cameron Monaghan) and Mickey doing the nasty in the Kash and Grab; and Steve/Jimmy (Justin Chatwin) will try anything to get Fiona back.

Movie Review: Disney’s “John Carter” – A Fantastical Sci-Fi Adventure You Don’t Want To Miss! #JohnCarter

John Carter blew my expectations out of the water! The 3D effects are amazing and the action is stupendous! John Carter captivates and entertains from the moment it starts to its very cryptic ending! Rarely has a movie, especially of this genre and length, had me so enthralled. This is a fantastic movie filled with adventure, drama, action, flying ships, laughter, and yes, romance…but not in the conventional way.

When I found out a conference call with Grimm’s David Giuntoli and Sasha Roiz was scheduled, I immediately put myself on the list of participants.

In my opinion, each is a terrific actor and both have a wonderful sense of humor. So, in order for you to understand what ‘Grimmstinks’ and ‘Renardisms’ are, and to find out what’s in store for everyone in the second half of the season, read on.

Review: #JustifedFX “The Man Behind The Curtain” (We ain’t in Kansas, Dorothy and the Wizard sends a Weasel)

What I enjoy most about “The Man Behind The Curtain” is we don’t really get to see the real man behind the curtain. We meet Sammy, the son of the man who calls the shots from Detroit who, in turn, controls Quarles. We also get a glimpse of how Quarles is treated while in Detroit yet, he’s the “swinging dick” (so to speak) in Harlan because he’s the city-slicker in the fancy suits. I love the multifaceted puzzle we are presented with: Arlo calling after his “late wife” up in Noble’s Hollar; Boyd banking with Limehouse for firsthand information; Raylan sleeping in a rented room above a local dive bar (what the…); and Quarles taking orders from his weasel step-brother.

Yesterday, February 27, 2012, Jason Isaacs, the star of NBC’S new intriguing drama, Awake, was kind enough to answer questions about the show and his role as Detective Michael Britten. Awake follows Britten’s life after he finds himself living in two different realities following a car crash: one where his teen son, Rex (Dylan Minnette, Saving Grace), dies in the crash and his wife, Hannah (Laura Allen, Terriers) survives; and the other where Hannah dies, leaving Michael and Rex to pick up the pieces.

I love me some good ballroom and Latin dancing and was excited to hear the announcement of the cast for Season 14 of Dancing with the Stars. As usual, there are stars I recognize and a few I don’t. Sorry, I’m not so much into sports and opera. Anyway, the live two-hour event begins Monday, March 19, 2012 at 8/7c on ABC and the first Dancing with the Stars: Result Show will air Tuesday, March 27. Without further ado, here is the list of stars, along with their professional partners.

Rehearsals for “Marilyn: The Musical” get underway; Eileen (Angelica Huston) finds a way to finance the show; and Karen (Katherine McPhee) receives help from an unusual source. The title, “The Cost of Art,” seems to have quite a few meanings relative to the episode—the literal cost of the painting Eileen has to sell, the emotional toll selling the painting to finance the musical takes, and the lengths to which the actors, director and producer will go to make a musical great.

On a one-to-ten scale, the suspense in “18 Miles Out” is at a 15. I thought for sure Rick was meeting his end, not to mention Shane finding himself trapped by Walkers with no way out. Talk about being on the edge of your seat!

Movie: BERNIE – starring Jack Black (Dark comedy based on true story of Asst. Funeral Director in Texas)

Based on a true story: In the tiny, rural town of Carthage, TX, assistant funeral director Bernie Tiede was one of the town’s most beloved residents. He taught Sunday school, sang in the church choir and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Everyone loved and appreciated Bernie, so it came as no surprise when he befriended Marjorie Nugent, an affluent widow who was as well known for her sour attitude as her fortune. The people of Carthage were shocked when it was reported that Marjorie Nugent had been dead for some time, and Bernie Tiede was being charged with the murder.

What do you get when you mix a popular, careful, smart criminal with a con artist like Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), then stir in an undercover, FBI-sanctioned sting operation and add a pinch of Yankee Stadium? Magic. Tim DeKay’s directorial debut with “Stealing Home” not only adds emotional resonance to the weekly crime caper, but moves the story of Neal’s pending commutation hearing along with the easy pacing of a seasoned director.

Review: #JustifiedFX “When the Guns Come Out” (Not too many guns but plenty of thugs, whores, and pimps)

Trust your gut instincts. I should have trusted mine about Winona (Natalie Zea) wanting to high-tail it out of town. Not only has Winona been gone for weeks, everyone and their mothers seem to know she’d already checked out of the relationship with Raylan (Timothy Olyphant). I wish I would have put two and two together from the first episode when a State Trooper had to find Winona to tell her Raylan had been shot. Was I so blind? Too blind to see what’s in front of me because I was wishing and hoping Raylan had found some semblance of normalcy with Winona? So what else am I missing that I may have been temporarily blind to previously?
