Surprisingly I don't actually have a lot to say about this one. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is certainly a unique book concept, but as a movie simply an exercise in the melodramatic. Rather, I should say a glorious exercise in the melodramatic. As another tid-bit of background about your reviewer, I love melodramas. I find them supremely entertaining, and even sometimes moving. This melodrama leads more towards the prior.

Now that the tectonic shifts presented in the premiere have been tossed to the audience, it's time for the writers to start exploring what this new status quo actually means. As it turns out, some of the changes are less extreme than originally thought, but it still represents an opportunity for the show to gain a fresh perspective. Despite everything that has happened, of course, it would be foolish to ignore the one constant: the amazing chemistry between Annie and Auggie.

In an unusual move for "White Collar", the season premiere was only the first part of what can be thought of as the show's first two-part premiere. Needless to say, I'm very happy with this change in the normal status quo, and I hope it represents a trend. If the final moments of the episode are anything to go by, then this may very well be the case. The previous season had a few more problems than I'd like, particularly in regards to the main story arcs, so I'm curious to see if this season improves on the last.

Burn Notice 6.4 Review: "Under the Gun"

When the death of a major character is teased in a show’s trailer, it’s often a desperate attempt to raise flagging interest. This time, “Burn Notice” decides to put Sam Axe “Under the Gun,” and it doesn’t really have the desired effect. While giving Bruce Campbell the spotlight is always good value, the result is a generic episode that nudges the plot forward in fits and starts, much like the Charger through most of this.

It almost goes without saying, but this was definitely the most difficult "Eureka" review I've ever had to write. My deep fondness for the show demands a very careful approach to writing the review for what is very likely the very last "Eureka" episode that will ever air. I've spent many lines in the past few reviews lamenting the weaknesses of the fifth season and the unfortunate replacement of the final, six-episode season with only a single episode. But "Eureka" is now over. Was the finale a fitting and satisfying send-off to this beloved sci-fi show?

For all of its tries at showing the epic scope of its stories, "Falling Skies" seems to have trouble with the minor details. I would normally be one to ignore these kinds of things, but they add up in the face of an episode that keeps the skitters, mechs, and alien overlords completely off-screen (for obvious budgetary concerns), thus limiting the threats our heroes must face. An amazing amount of coincidental events pop up yet again in this episode, with the sudden reappearances of two past characters who were thought to be out of the big picture.

Exclusive Interview with Connor Jessup of Falling Skies
Interview by Jamie Ruby
Written by Jamie Ruby
Falling Skies, which recently entered its second season on TNT, focuses on the lives of the survivors of an alien invasion, the Second Mass resistance group, made up of both soldiers and civilians. They are led by Captain Weaver (Will Patton) and unlikely leader Tom Mason (Noah Wyle), former college professor and father of three.
Last season the aliens kidnapped many of the children and "harnessed" them, putting them under their control. Some of the children who were harnessed, including Mason's middle son, Ben, were rescued. The harness, however, could not be completely removed from Ben's spine.
The actor who plays Ben Mason, Connor Jessup, recently talked to Jamie Ruby of SciFi Vision about season two in an exclusive interview.

Some might think that having Alan Ball, the current showrunner for the series, write an episode would be a positive development. Unfortunately, this is "True Blood", and all it does is reinforce the notion that Ball has lost sight of what made the series good in the first place. As others have said time and again, "True Blood" has descended into "fang opera", not unlike "Dark Shadows" and "Twilight" before it.

Walt's audacious murder of Gus Fring in last season's finale guaranteed his family's safety. After all, the drug kingpin threatened to kill everyone close to Walt and Walt couldn't allow that to happen. With Gus out of the way, though, the transformation of Walt from meek chemistry teacher to "Heisenberg" is now complete.
