Man Vs. Wild - New Tonignt

New MAN VS. WILD Takes On New Zealand's Rugged South Island
* Episode Sneak Peeks *

-- Premiering on Discovery Channel Monday, July 18 at 9PM ET/PT --

Flinging himself out of an Air Force plane and parachuting to safety is the only way Bear Grylls can land in a remote area of New Zealand's South Island. There, he must cross the country's highest mountain
range, the 300,000 foot Southern Alps, to reach his final destination on the West Coast. An error of judgment lands him in a complex series of waterfalls, where he formulates an ingenious plan to bridge a
steep, walled ravine. In a forest saturated by more than 30 feet of rain every year, Bear's struggle to keep warm and dry for the night is relieved when he manages to start a fire in the waterlogged forest and
spots an animal to hunt in the undergrowth. Around every bend, Bear faces a new challenge in the country where the only predictable thing is the terrain's unpredictability.

PLUS, DON'T MISS!...
In case you didn't catch the premiere with Jake Gyllenhaal, that episode will repeat! You can catch it
Monday July 18 at 8pm PT (just prior to the new episode), and again on Friday July 22 at 8pm PT.

Henry's Crime Starring Keanu Reeves on DVD and Blu-Ray August 23rd

THE REAL CRIME IS NOT COMMITTING
TO YOUR DREAMS

 Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga And James Caan Star In The
Hilarious Heist Adventure On Blu-ray And DVD August 23
                                                                                                                   

He’s done the time, now he might as well do the crime.  Acclaimed indie filmmaker Malcolm Venville (44 Inch Chest) directs an all-star cast in the outrageous crime caper HENRY’S CRIME, coming to Blu-ray and DVD August 23 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

“With a terrific cast led by Keanu Reeves (The Matrix Trilogy), Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) and a splendid James Caan (Misery), HENRY’S CRIME is a fun comedy with irresistible heist and heart” (Boxoffice Magazine).  Reeves stars as Henry Torne, a wrongly accused man who winds up behind bars for a bank robbery he didn’t commit.  After befriending a charismatic lifer (Caan) in prison, Henry finds his purpose — having done the time, he decides he may as well do the crime.  But his outlandish plan to rob the very same bank spins wildly out of control, as he finds himself performing in a stage play and falling in love with the production’s seductive leading lady (Farmiga).

Featuring outstanding supporting performances from Judy Greer (Love and Other Drugs), Bill Duke (Night at the Musuem) and Peter Stormare (Constantine), HENRY’S CRIME will be available as a single-disc Blu-ray and single-disc DVD on August 23.  Prebook is July 13.

The 5th Quarter On Blu-Ray and DVD August 30th!

FROM THE ASHES OF GREAT TRAGEDY
CAN COME GREAT ACHIEVEMENT




A Triumphant Story of Family, Faith and Football,
THE 5TH QUARTER Comes to Blu-ray and DVD August 30


When a close-knit family is nearly broken by tragedy, hope is restored by their eldest son who carries the weight of victory on his shoulders in THE 5TH QUARTER, coming to Blu-ray and DVD August 30 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

A recent recipient of the Dove Foundation’s “Family-Approved” seal for all audiences over the age of twelve and in the spirit of The Blind Side, comes this inspiring true story of family, faith and football. Aidan Quinn (Legends of the Fall, A Shine of Rainbows) and Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Groundhog Day) deliver emotionally stirring performances as the mother and father of Jon Abbate, a rising football star at Wake Forest University. Their lives are suddenly shattered when the family’s youngest son, Luke, is killed in a tragic accident. Inspired by Luke’s memory, Jon courageously leads the Wake Forest team to a series of last-minute victories — leading to a thrilling climax that will “make you stand up and cheer” (NYC Movie Guru).

THE 5TH QUARTER will be available on single-disc Blu-ray and single-disc DVD in the U.S. and Canada. Pre-book is July 20.

Princess Di is Turning 50

You may or may not have heard of the controversy surrounding the most recent cover of Newsweek.You know, the one where they superimposed her image next to Kate Middleton and aged her up..


My question: Is this controversial? Do you think Newsweek should have published this?

The article in the magazine about Diana goes on a two-page hypothetical journey about what her life would have been like if the car crash never happened. Tina Brown imagines how Diana would even interact with Kate Middleton. She says it would have been difficult at first but she would have probably been "BFF" with Carole Middleton, Kate's mother. Yet, she offers this little gem, "Her edge over Kate, of course, was her own epic of princessly suffering, which would always make Diana’s story more interesting. (“Happily ever after” will never have the same allure to the press as “It all went horribly wrong.”)."


Brown is no fortune teller. I find it hard to believe that Diana and Kate wouldn't bond over mutual distrust of the paparazzi. They both contribute extensively to charities. Kate and William asked that in lieu of wedding gifts, they created a Wedding Charity Fund that ultimately raised over a million pounds.

Floating on the wave of Diana's fame comes news of a book called Untold Story: A Novel by Monica Ali. It explores a world where she never died, instead, she faked her own death by drowning. User reviews put it on the fence but I'm curious enough to wonder how a famous princess can get accustomed to living in a rural Pennsylvania town called Kensington.

Reawakening From Hibernation to Find I am Sad & Bitter



My favorite beautiful, blonde hunk of eye candy, James Bond himself, Daniel Craig is married. Ughhhhhhhhh. Possible reasons?

A. He actually really loves Rachel Weisz (The Lovely Bones, The Constant Gardener) and really does want to make her happy. (Psht, yea right. I will *NEVER* believe this. ;( )
B. She's pregnant!

Just think about it. They've only been seen together for the past few months. They recently shot a movie together; the super long hours on set, the months spent preparing and anticipating the role and ultimately having to portray a convincing married couple. The passion of it all! The chemistry!

It took 4 years for Darren Aronofsky to propose when he did in 2005 and less than a year later, her son Henry was born. I'm sensing a pattern here.

Science Channel's Breakout Series Oddities Premieres April 9th At 10:00PM

Premieres April 9 at 10:00PM (ET/PT)

SCIENCE CHANNEL'S BREAKOUT SERIES ODDITIES TAKES VIEWERS SHOPPING AT THE MARKET OF THE MYSTERIOUS AND THE MACABRE

-"Pawn Stars" Meets "The Addams Family" with the Premiere of ODDITIES Season Two on Saturday, April 9 at 10:00 PM ET/PT on Science Channel-

Where can you go when you're in dire need of a used straight jacket? What if you just have to have a two-headed cat or a book bound with human flesh to make your living room complete? There's only one emporium sublimely weird enough to carry these bizarre items and countless more - Obscura Antiques and Oddities in New York's East Village. Science Channel's breakout series, ODDITIES, follows Obscura's proprietors, Mike and Evan, as well as an assortment of hilariously-unique patrons who are even more outlandish than the merchandise. The second season of ODDITIES premieres Saturday, April 9, at 10:00 PM ET/PT.

Obscura is renowned for having some of the rarest and most-eccentric antique pieces found anywhere - from circus sideshow props, to shocking natural anomalies, to oddball items dabbling in the occult. Aficionados of the unusual from throughout the U.S. and beyond know that Obscura is the only place to purchase their next treasure - or sell their own abnormal assets. Mike, Evan and consultant Ryan serve as the ringmasters for this one-of-a-kind experience that's part swap meet and part cult rally.

"At Science Channel, we make it our goal to 'own weird' on television," said Debbie Adler Myers, executive vice president and general manager of Science Channel. "Obscura might be the most fascinatingly bizarre place I have ever been, and ODDITIES takes viewers through the looking glass for an incredibly entertaining look at one of the most unique subcultures anywhere."

The premiere of ODDITIES season two is literally "lights-out," as the store is visited by a circus performer known for his bizarre appetite. Within minutes of entering Obscura, he begins unscrewing and eating the store's lightbulbs. Freakish finds for season two include a shrunken head, the body of a half alligator/half boy, a Tibetan trumpet made of a human femur, and a cow...with two heads, six legs and two tails.

ODDITIES is produced for Science Channel by Leftfield Picture Bernadette McDaid is vice president of production and executive producer for Science Channel. David George, Brent Montgomery and Colby Gaines are executive producers for Leftfield Pictures

Lea Michele Under Fire Yet Again!

Lea Michele of Glee is once again under fire from parent groups for March's sexy Cosmopolitan cover.

Really!? Give me a break.  She is a 25 year old woman who stars on a very popular TV show.  So why are the parent in an uproar? Good friggin question!

While I find it very entertaining and love watching it too, it is totally inappropriate, full of sexual situations, prejudice, and a slew of colorful one liners. Last season the show dealt with homosexuality, under age drinking, teen pregnancy, lying, stealing and cheating (not very kid friendly material is it!?)

 Believe me! I get it. I love it too. But.....this is not a kid's show! The problem is that Glee appeals to the 14-45 age group and is unfortunately in the 8:00 a.m. timeslot.  This means, way too many parents who want to watch the show are watching it with their still awake children.  Parents, you should be parenting! 

Lea Michele is not Disney Channels Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus or any other now slutty Disney star. She is a 25 year old woman, starring on an adult TV Show.

Get a grip. Stop blaming celebrities for your short comings as parents and more importantly stop watching shows like Glee and True Blood with your children. 

Like check out this message from a mom:

“I think Lea Michele is sending the wrong message. She plays such a ‘good girl’ on ‘Glee’ and a lot of kids look up to her persona. Then she poses very provocatively on two magazine covers which makes my almost-13-year-old son very confused and offended,” said New York mom Kim Trefcer. “ I find it frustrating as a parent who is trying to teach right from wrong to their kids and then you have things like this happen which is showing middle schoolers things like sex sells and all that goes along with that.”


Umm....if you are trying to do the right thing and show your child right from wrong, is Glee the show with morals? Is Glee a show parents and children can watch together. No! It isn't! It is a well written, very funny, often provocative show peppered with fun, song and dance numbers. Just because the show is about a Glee club doesn't mean your child should be watching it, especially if your child is offended or confused by a picture on the cover of a woman's magazine.

Well, that is how I "C" it!

Kristen Stewart On Vogue!

When I was a teen I brought Vogue every month! It's weird to think back now because I was so not into fashion and still could care less about labels or the latest fad. It cost an arm and a leg for a teen not working back then but it was the must have for me. Seventeen was never my thing!

It seems to have come full circle for me with Kristen on the cover. She is the quintessential girl! The typical girl. She is me back in the day. Well, without the perfection of her face. I felt awkward, odd, uncomfortable in my skin, which is what she appears to be to me.

Having Kristen on the cover if I were a teenager would have been the ultimate! She was how I felt about myself.  She looks amazing but we all know she feels awkward and dorky. Exactly how I felt as a teen buying Vogue every month! You rock Kristen!

Beverly Hills, CA – Jan. 17, 2011 – Australian film and TV actor Liam McIntyre has excelled at a grueling and rigorous audition process to claim the title role in the second season of Starz’ hit franchise, “Spartacus,” Starz, LLC, President and CEO Chris Albrecht announced today.

McIntyre takes over the role of the Thracian warrior sold into slavery in the Roman Republic city of Capua – where he rises to become the champion of the city – before leading the slave revolt that ended Season 1. The part was played in the first season of “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” by Andy Whitfield, who was forced to leave the show in order due to health issues. Whitfield gave his blessing to the recasting.

“Since no one can really replace Andy, we realized that we should instead find an actor who can truly lead ‘Spartacus’ forward,” Albrecht notes. “It was important to us to have Andy endorse the idea of recasting this part, which he did in the same heroic manner that he’s dealt with his whole ordeal. And that, coupled with our fortune in finding a young actor with the gladiator credentials and the acting ability of Liam, makes it easier for us to keep this hit franchise going.”

Liam McIntyre made his mark in his native Australia on such series as “Neighbours,” and “Rush.” He also appeared in the HBO mini-series “The Pacific.” He recently completed his first feature starring role in the independent film Frozen Moments. McIntyre is currently in New Zealand, getting himself into gladiator shape in order to take on that iconic role. Production on the series is slated to resume by Spring of 2011.

From the time “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” debuted on Starz in January, 2010, it established itself as an epic production with rich storytelling and visuals unlike anything seen previously on any TV show. Audiences responded immediately, making it the most-watched premiere in Starz’ history, and making the show the most watched cable program on nearly two-thirds of the Fridays it aired original episodes. Also starring John Hannah as Batiatus, Lucy Lawless as Lucretia, Peter Mensah as Doctore, Manu Bennett as Crixus and Viva Bianca as Ilythia, “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” was one of the most talked-about and best-loved TV shows of 2010. Season 2 of the series finds Spartacus and his fellow gladiators now out of Capua and engaged in the massive slave rebellion against Roman society that has echoed through time.

Personally, I am sad to know that Andy Whitfield will not be Spartacus, however, I fully support Starz as they continue the show with another actor.

We have to wait a while for Season 2 but at least we have God's of the Arena starting this Friday on Starz to hold us over.
