There is a lot to talk about in this
introduction. For one, I don’t know if I ever told you that Living Biblically
was airing in place of 9JKL. Only it seems that Living Biblically is cancelled.
And 9JKL is cancelled as well. There will be two shows starting this early
summer season. Scorpion is replaced now by Elementary. That means that the blog
updates of that blog will be back to where they were on Thursdays. You won’t
have to read this blog for updates for that anymore, at least not for the near
future.
I am planning on adding something to
this blog in future posts in order to make up for what I can’t say here anymore
relating to Elementary. Expect something starting in the very next post. In
terms of schedule changes, Criminal Minds will be replaced by Code Black. Soon,
we will know for sure what all will be different on CBS next season. Also, on
the CW, Legends of Tomorrow is done for the season and is replaced by the rest
of Supergirl’s current season. It was on hiatus, but now it is back. Yet
another scheduling note is that Celebrity Undercover Boss will be taking the
place of MacGyver for the start of the summer season in the schedule.
Patricia
Arquette: The main star of CSI: Cyber has future projects mentioned on imdb
right now. There is a pretty notable sequel in the work that she is doing.
While we don’t know what role she might have in the movie, it looks like she
will be lending her voice talent to that of Toy Story 4. Another role
that I found her in is a project called High Life. If that wasn’t
enough, there will be yet another project she’ll be in called The Bell Jar.
I see another new project of hers called Escape at Dannamora. I also
have more of an update on the movie Permanent.
Toy
Story 4: I still don’t know what to make of this movie. Most of us probably
found the idea of Toy Story 3 to be ridiculous, but loved the movie when we saw
it in the end. Fourth installments of movies tend to get intense hatred from
critics and fans. I’ll let you know my thought eventually when I’m able to see
it. But its release date is a long ways off. It is set for release on June
21st, 2019.
Permanent: This actually came out on
DVD fairly recently. I’m not sure how I missed the date when it came out,
but I saw it at the video store and felt that I should get it as soon as I can.
So I rented it. A review now follows.
Movie Name: Permanent. Rating: PG-13. Description-
A girl tries to fit into her new town in a movie set in the past. CSI: Cyber
Alumni in it- Patricia Arquette plays the mother of the main character. Pros-
It is different enough and makes a good enough story on trying to fit in with
people. Cons- It is far too weird. It is too focused on hair for a lot of the
plot. It isn’t funny and you can tell that they were trying to be. A lot of it
didn’t make sense and winds up being lost due to it not being focused on like
it should be. Note to Parents- There is a lot of foul and sexual language with
other sexual moments, but no nudity is in this. Recommendation- Don’t bother
with it. IMDB Ranking: 5.4. My Grade: D-.
High
Life: This movie is listed as in the preproduction stage on imdb. It appears to
be about a woman and her father who are isolated and living in deep space. It
does not have a specific date mentioned, but it should be coming out in 2018.
I hope that it comes out as it sounds good and interesting. I don’t see this on
imdb anymore so this might not be going forward as a project anymore.
The
Bell Jar: This movie is about a person dealing with mental illness. It says
that it is both comedy and drama so it might be like 50 First Dates. I’ll let
you know when/if it has an actual release date or trailer. It no longer has a
year of release mentioned. It was going to be out in 2018, but now is an
unknown year. We’ll see what all changes in the future.
Escape
at Dannamora: This is a TV show that is set from release sometime in 2018.
It will air on the Showtime network. It is about a romance that an employee
gains for two inmates that she then want to help escape. I don’t know how I
feel about that. I also don’t know how or if I could see it.
Peter
MacNicol: It appears that nothing new is mentioned with him anymore. It doesn’t
even mention him being part of Tangled. I don’t understand what is going on
here since different news sources mention him with Tangled, even though the
news sources that imdb uses tend to be a bit questionable and don’t always
relate to the actor who whoever I’m looking up. I guess that we’ll wait and see
what projects, if any, he winds up doing in the future. I’m not sure if he is doing
something. You might catch him in the show Veep, but it seems like he’s limited
to guest roles on it and nothing yet too important. He
was on a recent episode of The Big Bang Theory. I might talk about that episode
randomly in the future, or I might not.
James
Van Der Beek: A new project in the future for this actor is something called What
Would Diplo Do? You can read more about that in the next paragraph. I see a
new project for him called Vampirina. I see him in a new TV show called Pose
that I’ll get to. He’s also in a new movie called Downsizing. I won’t
know for sure about how long some of his shows will last so I hope that I’m not
always talking about them when or if they aren’t on anymore.
What
Would Diplo Do?: This is currently out now as of this update. It will be
based off of the life of DJ Diplo, whoever that is. It is air on Viceland,
whatever network that is. I don’t know or care much about it. It has a trailer
now.
Thoughts
on trailer: This is kind of what I was expecting from the trailer: a bunch of
random, meaningless scenes that are somehow going to promote the show. This
doesn’t make me more interested in it and seems to only make me glad that I
won’t be able to watch it anyways. That’s not to say that it was that bad a
trailer, but they should have tried harder than they did.
This
would be the point where I would do a review of the show, but I can’t as I’m
not able to see it. I don’t think that I’ll be interested in it anyways. I
don’t know if I’ll care and I don’t know when it will air on Viceland. If you
care about it, then please watch and if not, then just ignore it.
Vampirina:
This is a show about a young vampire girl who has to adjust after a move. It is
an animated Disney Junior show as vampires are a thing that kids should be
educated about in some way. It is out now. I would review if I could see
cable so if you want to review it, just comment on this post and I’ll use what
you say as a review.
Pose: This is set to start airing on June
3, 2018. It will air on FX. The plot for it mentioned on imdb sounds really
confusing and I believe that it relates to transgender issues in some way. It
actually has a trailer now.
Thoughts on trailer: This doesn’t seem
any good or interesting to me. It just seems like it is another lame attempt to
get people interested in the fashion industry. I don’t even know for sure if
the transgender stuff that might be in here is in here. But I don’t care about
the fashion industry and this looks lame and vague.
Downsizing: This is on DVD now. Sorry
that it took so long to review it. I would have had this done by the previous
post, only I wasn’t able to rent it then as all the copies of it were out,
taken by other people to watch. Well, now I’m finally able to review it and I
will take it out of these updates as a result.
Movie Name: Downsizing. Rating- R.
Description- A man has problems with his life and he thinks that shrinking
himself could help. CSI: Cyber Alumni in it- James Van Der Beek. I missed
whatever role he played as it must have been so minor. Pros- This has good
social commentary on class and other things. The plot is fairly
straightforward. Cons- It can be hard to understand at times. Not all of it
makes sense. Things don’t seem to be resolved entirely. They could have done
more with special effects. Note to Parents- There is a lot of penis in this.
The f word is used a lot in one scene and shows up elsewhere as well. Recommendation-
Take it or leave it. I fell better having rented it than I would have if I
bought this. IMDB Ranking: 5.7. My Grade: C.
Shad
Moss: After all this time I’ve been doing updates, I was beginning to be
concerned that I’d never find something for him. Well, he finally has a project
in the works. It is called Superstition: The Rule of 3’s. That’s the
only new project that I see him in right now, although I’m more than glad that
he’s finally doing something.
Superstition:
The Rule of 3’s: This is a thriller movie on the belief that death occurs in
threes. I have no idea what role Shad will end up playing in the film. The
status of the film is listed as filming. It has no release date or
trailer just yet.
Charley
Koontz: It appears that he, for sure, is appearing in Captain Black. I’m
not sure what else he is doing and this could wind up with a random rating on
imdb by the posting of this update or the next update. In fact, when the new
year starts, I may have to amend any shows or movies with no known release date
even if they were set to be released in 2016. I’ll never understand what
happens with some of those films.
Captain
Black: It does not have a release date or trailer just yet. It is about a man
who has an interest in a comic character and gets in some sort of relationship
he shouldn’t have. Also, I need to work on writing my own original taglines for
movies so that I’m not just copying what someone else has written (although I
don’t think that I’m doing that). It has an unknown release date at this
time.
Hayley Kiyoko: She is on some sort of
TV show called Five Points. It will be on facebook watch. What is that?
Facebook does TV now? I wish that I knew more about it, but if I don’t hear
much soon, I may have to cut it from the updates in hopes that something else
will come along. Speaking of that, it appears that she has done at least one
new music video called Curious. I should talk about it next.
Five
Points: I know absolutely nothing about this thus far. It is a TV show, but I
don’t know which network it might air on. I guess that we’ll see what happens
regarding this as I don’t see much about it just yet. It may be out already,
but I’ll keep it in the updates for now until I can learn more about it. Since
it is a TV show, I’d keep it in this updates for as long as I know the show
lasts.
Curious: This is already out now
as of this update. There’s not much to do expect to link to the video online
and have me list my thoughts about it. At least it’s good knowing that Hayley
is a singer and that’s why I don’t see her in movies a lot.
Thoughts on it: I’m not entirely sure
what to make of all this. Perhaps this is for people who are bi-curious. The
plot of the video seems to be a bit strange and I don’t know why Hayley has to
be partly undressed for any of this. Why are women in music videos often shown
in less clothing than they should be? The song seems to work well enough for
the most part. The video is strange, but I guess most of them are.
Ted
Danson: He is appearing on The Good Place on NBC. Surely his time off of
TV means that he could be doing movies in the meantime, but we’ll see if that
happens soon or not. It looks like he is doing more now that I can finally see.
He is appearing in the upcoming ninth season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It
seems like he might be in every episode of it too. It looks like he’s also
appearing in a movie called Hearts Beat Loud.
The
Good Place: This is an NBC comedy. It is an afterlife based comedy. Ted appears
on it in a supporting role. He plays a person who designed the section of the
good place for the main characters, although it is possible he made mistakes.
Review: The
Good Place: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- In order to
review this for this blog, I watched it. Description- A comedy, a woman finds
out that she is dead, but in the good place. The main problem: she’s not
supposed to be there. Notable People- Ted Danson, who was in many shows in the
past, among them Cheers, CSI, and CSI: Cyber, is a character on the show.
Kristen Bell, who did many movies and Veronica Mars, is the main character.
Pros- The show is different and interesting. It tries to keep religion out of
it so as to not offend anyone. Cons- The idea of things going wrong with the
good place in death is a bit hard to believe. It lacks a certain amount of
charm that you would want it to have. It doesn’t seem as funny as it could be.
Note to Parents- This is borderline is terms of what is acceptable to let your
kids watch or not. Recommendation- I say that you should watch this if you can
because it is pretty good. Prediction- It might last a while, but I’m not sure
yet if it will last long. Reception: positive. Grade: B.
Curb
Your Enthusiasm: This show has been rebooted and is back with new episodes. It
is on right now on HBO. I don’t know the timeslot and don’t know if I can
watch it. Hopefully I can get someone to do a guest review for it, but that
seems unlikely since that hasn’t happened before with other shows. Of course,
if I could borrow a copy that someone that I know has, then I could just watch
it on my own. But I don’t think that will happen without doing more research.
Hearts Beat Loud: The plot relates to a
father and daughter forming a musical duo before she leaves for college. It
sounds cool and hopefully will be good. I just don’t know much about it yet.
While it has a score on imdb, it says that it won’t be out in theaters in the
US until June 8, 2018. I guess we’ll have to wait until then before this
gets a full review or even later until it is on DVD. I hope to see it soon. It
actually has a trailer now.
Thoughts on trailer: This looks like it
could be good or it could be somewhat questionable. It might be an independent
film. I should like those, but they are often less than what other films are. I
hope that I’m able to see it and I hope that I like it. I would say that this
might be a fun film and hope that it is. I mean, it doesn’t look bad.
Anthony
E Zuiker: It would appear that for now there are no future projects in the work
for this franchise creator. He might be working on some sort of project that we
don’t know of just yet. But there is nothing known to the public yet. There is
nothing new to report.
Carol
Mendelsohn: There is a new project in store for this writer as of this update.
I’m not sure where it is in terms of happening versus not happening. I will
tell you about anything she is a producer of since I want to see something in
these updates for her. She has a project in the works called Witchblade.
We’ll have to see what happens regarding that. She also has a new project
called Chiefs which could be a TV movie or show.
Witchblade:
This is based off of a comic book. From what I can tell, it is in the magical
girls genre, although it might have only one girl whose power comes from an
object. I should hopefully have a plot description of it in the future. The
release date is unknown at this particular time.
Chiefs:
I hope that this becomes a show because it sounds interesting. Even if it is
just a movie, I’d still like to see it. There are three female police officers
who are hunting a serial killer. Just as long as they could be good and not
sexy (sexy wouldn’t hurt, just don’t make them sex obsessed), this should be
what I look for in a good show. Now it doesn’t have a release date yet.
This sounds like the best of her potential projects thus far.
Ann
Donahue: There’s no new information about this writer. I’m sure that she’ll
probably find something, but I’m not sure when. As of this month, there are
still no new updates regarding this writer. I hope that she does something.
There is nothing new to report.
