No More Zombies, Give Darabont Money for 'Fahrenheit 451'

Even though I didn't like Frank Darabont's The Mist much at all I would definitely rather see him tackle his long-gestating take on Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" rather than see him write and direct a series adaptation of the Image Comics graphic novel series "The Walking Dead" for AMC. When will audiences get enough of [...]

TV Review: Tonight's 'True Blood', Episode 2.01 'Nothing but the Blood'

Photo: HBO Last year I reviewed the first five episodes of HBO's vampire drama "True Blood" and due to an unfortunate miscommunication I didn't receive screeners of the final seven episodes, which meant the reviewing stopped there.

Ugh, Doesn't Look Like Season Four of 'Heroes' is For Me

Nope, not a movie story, but "Heroes" is an acceptable campfire topic around these parts and a new bit of casting news popped up at The Hollywood Reporter that didn't get me too excited for the next season. Word has it, Robert Knepper, who played Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell on Fox's "Prison Break," is set to [...]

Ten More Pics from HBO's Second Season of 'True Blood'

I finally started catching up with the first season of "True Blood" watching episode six, "Cold Ground," and episode seven, "Burning House of Love," and I was quickly reminded of how much I enjoy the back-and-forth between Tara and Lafayette (Rutina Wesley and Nelsan Ellis)... especially Tara's swearing. "Cold Ground" wasn't necessarily a great episode, [...]
