One of my favorite premieres this year was followed up by a dud that was only beaten out for the bottom spot by the?Rosewood?premiere. Thankfully, Jamie Alexander’s team-up with Sullivan Stapleton was back to its impressive self in the third episode, as Taylor Shaw/Doe and Kurt Weller found themselves butting heads and chasing bank robbers….
In the Bradley Cooper film that the new CBS show is based on, Eddie Morra (Cooper) has mostly used the NZT drug for his own personal gain. In the show starring Jake McDorman as Brian Finch, the FBI and Morra (now a senator) have strong-armed Finch into using his newly-unlocked mental capacity to help them…
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: a crew of new medical residents invade an overworked hospital to learn from?the most qualified doctors around, but are forced to overcome said doctor’s idiosyncrasies and each other.

“Are you not sacrificing the greater good for the sake of your dignity and self-esteem?”– Bruce Wayne If you’re looking for a light-hearted (mostly) take on DC superheroes, go check out?The Flash. If you’re looking for a creative reimagining of Batman’s origins with humor, panache, and deep meanings that just might critique our society today,…
Watching?the second episode of FOX’s?Minority Report,?you quickly discover that the creators have a desire to feed us piecemeal sections of the backstory and overall mythos. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen if the banter between detectives Vega and Blake (Meagan Good and Wilmer Valderrama) and the cases solved thanks to precog Dash (Stark Sands) are…
Adam Sandler’s schtick is well-practiced. Whether it’s?Grown Ups, 42?or whatever other Happy Madison Productions flick he is pumping out, we haven’t seen much new material over the last decade. Still,?periodically, Sandler chooses to show us his depth, whether it’s in a live action film or something like?Hotel Transylvania 2. Yeah, I said it. Count Dracula’s…
