"Revenge" TV Review

Revenge Season 1 (2011-12)
4 Stars - Watch it on HULU or ABC
Blog Exclusive!

Every week on "Revenge" gets juicier than ever because of al the backstabbing, arson and manipulating going on in The Hamptons. sexual frustration going on it's hard to believe that the last few episodes have included romance!

Yup that's right Daniel winds up proposing to Emily Thorne (played by Emily VanCamp) and even wants her to leave Long Island, New York with him immediately after the nuptials take place. I don't blame him... the traffic sucks in New York and there is nothing to look at while sitting on the Long Island Expressway. As least by running away to Paris the two lovebirds can get to be romantic while stuck in traffic. There's nothing like watching the sun set over the Eiffel Tower while your with your hunny.

Poor guy can't win for losing; after all she doesn't really love him unconditionally. However at least Daniel's heart is still beating. Honestly, I swore that he was shot dead ever since the premiere episode alluded to it. I'm glad this is the case because series star Josh Bowman plays makes him so realistically.

An even bigger plot line is blowing up right now centering on the fragile state of Daniel Grayson's fathers billion dollar corporation. All the bad publicity swarming around the family due to a not so nice divorce between Daniel's parents Conrad and Victoria (Henry Czerny and Madeleine Stowe) is making the once solid Grayson Global buckle under the weight of so much bullshit. To make a long story short expect to see people die while others get arrested and get sent straight to Sing Sing.

The one gripe I have about the show is that it is hardly ever on for more than a few weeks at a time. There are no scheduled episodes in March. In fact "Revenge" returns April 18th so you better free up your schedules.

Boom goes the dirty bomb (Now on DVD) 4 Stars Blog Exclusive! What if you had only minutes to live? What would you think, feel and do in that short amount of time? Well Jake Gyllenhaal (Brothers) knows he has to make every second count in order to save the city of Chicago from a terrorist attack just 8 minutes in the future. As Jake finds out in "Source Code" anything is possible except failure. Army helicopter pilot Col. Colter Stevens (Gyllenhaal) awakens aboard a Chicago bound train with no memory of how he got there. Feeling confused Stevens rushes into a bathroom and looks in the mirror. What he sees is terrifying. He realizes that he’s inside somebody else's body, but before he digests this information a bomb rips through the train as easily as a knife cuts through butter. As everyone perishes Stevens is transported to a futuristic, metallic pod stowed away in a remote arctic wasteland. He’s tightly strapped into a seat that is surrounded by video monitors. In

'Collateral' Brief Film Review & Recap

'Collateral' - 2004  If you are unfamiliar with 'Collateral' , here is a quick recap/review (with minimal spoilers).  Tom Cruise portrays Vincent, a hitman with a bunch of targets to knock off. The cold and calculated Vincent contrasts perfectly with Jamie Foxx's Oscar nominated turn as Max Durocher, a gregarious cab driver. Max (the protagonist) is looking for a good payday and cash flush Vincent (the antagonist) is happy to oblige. Thus, Max begins to chauffeur Vincent around night-time Los Angeles. Morally bound Max gets his monetary wish, but unbeknownst to him, this ride comes with some significant baggage.  The tension is ratcheted up (through some great editing) shortly after the two men meet. As the victims begin to pile up, Max inadvertently finds out that Vincent is a lead-packing criminal. With this revelation, Max wants to break all ties with Vincent. Instead, he effectively becomes Vincent’s hostage and is forced to continue driving. And so, the main p

"Wonder Woman" Film Review

By -
Steel Beauty Blog exclusive! In the alpha-male dominated world of superhero pictures, a blockbuster film with a feminine touch stands out. Some may call it sacrilegious; most will call it "Wonder Woman". Israeli actress and former soldier Gal Gadot ("Justice League") plays the title character, Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. Prince is a fierce and noble Amazonian warrior born of clay and brought to life by Zeus. She reaches maturity on the female-only island of Themyscira. Strong, sexy and perfectly cast, Gadot elevates "Wonder Woman" to high art. And with a little help from CGI, Gadot seems like she was destined to swing Diana's fiery whip, wield her longsword and defend the innocent with a Captain America-esque shield from the day she was born. Misogynists everywhere will be displeased that “Wonder Woman” not only stars a woman (duh), but is also directed by a member of the fairer sex. Humor aside, Warner Bros. and DC Films made a historic move b
