The Vampire Diaries 3.21 Review: "Before Sunset"
By John Keegan
I'm not sure what I was expecting coming into this episode, but whatever it was, what we got was not it. And I mean that in a generally good way. Alaric's first actions as Esther's vampire assassin were just about as brutal as it gets, and things definitely look to be changing in Mystic Falls. (Which only makes the official fourth season pickup all the better!)

"Common Law:" A Fresh Take on the Partner Dynamic
By Jamie Ruby
I have to be honest, when I first saw the promo for Common Law, I wasn't sure that it would be something I would watch. Don't get me wrong, it looked good and of course funny, but the promo didn't hook me. Then I watched the pilot and my whole outlook changed. Common Law is not just another detective drama, it offers a fresh new take on the partner dynamic.

Once Upon a Time 1.20 Review: "The Stranger"
By John Keegan and Edmund Boys
With three episodes left in the season, the time has come for “Once Upon A Time” to start resolving some of its mysteries. After “The Stranger”, I only hope they step up their game in the final two. I get the sense the producers expected the events depicted here to be revelatory. Instead, I found them predictable and underwhelming. What makes this a shame is that, just as Robert Carlyle suffered through some sub-par episodes, this one wasted a fine performance from Tony Amendola as Geppetto.

By Daniel Denehy
Every once in a long while a movie comes along that is of such quality that you feel the need to applaud when the credits roll; a movie that to share the details of which would feel like a crime, because you would be robbing the potential viewer of the amazement that could be had. Cabin in the Woods is one of those movies. Given the state of this movie, and my wish not to be criminal, what will be discussed hereafter will reveal no story from the movie that has not already been revealed in the trailers. Trust me; it is that sort of movie.

Eureka 5.3 Review: "Force Quit"
By John Keegan and Gregg Wright
As the final part of a three-episode saga, "Force Quit" has the task of resolving the "Matrix" situation completely and getting everything back to normal. And in addition, it also effectively wraps up the arc that began with the second half of season 4, when Senator Wen first arrived on the scene and the Astraeus project was commissioned. In that respect, the episode, and this 3-part arc, have been relatively successful. I still think that it's a bit of a let-down that the Astraeus's grand voyage ended up amounting to little more than a plot to kidnap Eureka scientists, in the aim of furthering their perpetually ambiguous goals.

By John Keegan and Henry Tran
This felt like a really odd season finale. I expected this given what occurred in the previous episode, and is so often the case with this show, it delivered pretty much on what was promised. The episode's title of "The Dream Team" has sports connotations to myself personally, and the plot eerily follows suit in that way. It's more of an all-star highlights approach of most of the little subplots that have been building throughout this season.

Michael Ealy Stars in "Common Law"
By Jamie Ruby
On May 11th USA will premiere its new original series Common Law. The series follows two detectives, Travis Marks, played by Michael Ealy, and Wes Mitchell (Warren Kole), whose problems are each other. The two constantly bicker and try to outdo the other, and it ends up causing problems at work. Instead of firing the two, their boss decides it's time to intervene by forcing them into couples' therapy. LAPD's best must learn to get along if they want to keep working cases in the robbery-homicide division.
Michael Ealy is probably best known for his breakout role in Barbershop and its sequel, as well as starring in the film Think Like a Man, which is currently number one at the box office.
The actor recently talked to the media about his new series, his comedic side, and more.
