Cast Update 8-3-2019

Well, there is now a new person in this update as is going to happen from time to time. I think that there might be a lot more people added at once if I do cast updates in my Elementary blog as I believe I will. This time, I’ll adding an alumni from CSI: Miami. You may not get that whole cast in this blog, but you might get it in both this blog and my blog about Elementary, with posts in that blog explaining why.

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. There is another project she’ll be in called The Bell Jar. She is in something new called Otherhood. I wonder what that’s about. There’s also a project she’s doing called The Act. She does a lot.

Toy Story 4: This long awaited installment is in theaters now. This is the fourth movie in the Toy Story franchise. A road trip, new story named forky, and reuniting with Bo Peep from earlier installments all play an important part of this movie. A review of this movie now follows.

Movie Name: Toy Story 4. Rating- G. Noteworthiness- After a long gap between the first two Toy Story films, a third one was made and now this one is out. Description- Bonnie’s gang of toys go on a road trip with a new toy who is experiencing an identity crisis. While there, they find Bo Peep, who had been given away before. CSI: Cyber Alumni in it- Patricia Arquette plays the mother of one of the new kids that appear in this show. Pros- It seems to be funnier than all of the previous Toy Story movies. The plots and subplots all worked for the most part. Cons- There seemed to be too much going on in it at once. Parts didn’t seem to be resolved. Note to Parents- A character could be said to be suicidal near the start of this movie and these tendencies are played for laughs. One of the type of toys seen in a lot of this is creepy in many ways. Recommendation- I say that this is a very good film and worth watching. IMDB Ranking: 8.3 My Grade: A.

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.

Otherhood: It seems like it will be a Netflix movie so I doubt that I’ll be able to see it in the long run. It is a comedy about mothers going to visit their sons. If there is a trailer, I’ll put it in here. Otherwise, you’ll see it in these updated until it has a score on imdb. It is on Netflix now.


Thoughts on trailer: This could be good, but I’m not sure that it would avoid clichés that you tend to see in movies like this. I’ve seen Bad Moms. Is this really just going to be like a different sort of movie like it? Well, I can’t tell. But it will probably be acceptable and have its moments, but not be something you’d regret seeing.

Speaking of not seeing this, since this is on Netflix, I will not be able to see the movie at all so I won’t be able to watch it. Since it is out already, I will be removing this from my blog posts as a result and this is the last you will see of this.

The Act: This has a release date of March 20, 2019, meaning that is it out now. In it, a girl has a toxic relationship with her mother. The girl is trying to escape from it. This will be a Hulu TV series so I’m probably not going to be able to watch it at any point. I can only hope otherwise. There is now a trailer to this show.


Thoughts on trailer: This looks like quite a terrible story. Making matters worse, I think that it is based on events that actually happened. Patricia is playing the villain of the story by the looks of it. She seems to be making her child suffer in various ways. This looks like it is kind of disturbing and I might be okay not watching it as it looks too gruesome in many different ways. This is already available now for anyone who wants to watch it.

Peter MacNicol: I can’t find much ever, if anything, for this actor. I hope that I can avoid saying things about him in a paragraph that could easily wind up outdated forever as I’ve been known for doing. So I came up with this one until the next project he’s in.

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. 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. I don’t know what else to say about that. He’s also doing something called Belvedere: Destiny, which might be a video game of some sort, but I can’t find out more information about it right now. He’s also going to be something called Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

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. I have no idea if this is still on or will be coming back at some point. Does anyone know if this is still around?


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 was able to see an episode of this so enjoy a review:

Review: Status- Possibly still on the Disney channel. Why I’ve seen it- I watched it so I could review it for this blog. Noteworthiness- This is based on a book series. Description- A vampire girl and her family move from Transylvania to the human world and we see a bunch of adventures with her new friends and family. Notable People- James Van Der Beek plays the father of the main character. Pros- The show largely works and is different enough to make it seem unlike most of the other kid’s shows. Cons- Not all of it makes sense or seems like it needs to be there. There should be more education stuff in there than there is. Note to Parents- With this intentionally targeted for kids, you do not have to worry about much in it. Whether or not you think there could be issues with the theme of this involving vampires might be the only problem I can think of about why someone would not want kids seeing this. Recommendation- I’d put this at a toss-up. There is not much wrong with it as long as you care about shows for kids. My Viewing Habits- I only saw this once and might not see it again. Prediction- I don’t care enough to put something in here. Reception: good. Grade: B-.

Pose: This is airing now on FX yet could be ending its first season already. I don’t know for sure what might be happening. 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. I doubt that I will ever be able to watch it. I don’t think that I’d want to anyways.


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. Why do people care who wears what when?

Belvedere: Destiny: This is set for release sometime in 2018. I don’t have a plot for it yet and it only mentions one person in the cast right now. I don’t think that I know the format that this will be. It says video on imdb, making me think it will be a video game. But I do not yet know what this is until more details are revealed. It could be out now, but I don’t know yet for sure.

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot: This has a release date of October 15, 2019. The characters in this movie seek to prevent another reboot from being made. I’ll have to watch more of the films of these characters in the future, possibly. There is a trailer of this now.

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg74gGSzeYY (note that this is a red band trailer)

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like a dumb comedy, but I do like some of those at times. We’ll see if I’ll like this enough to see other movies in the universe or not. I know that based on the CinemaSins video Everything Wrong with Star Wars: A New Hope, I’m not sure that I can like Kevin Smith’s style of humor or not. I still might watch the other movies even if I don’t like this. Maybe this will be like other movies like it. I won’t regret seeing it or ever want to watch it again. Maybe this will work or maybe not. Also, isn’t the idea of one of these characters having a child very similar to what happened in the newest Dumb and Dumber movie that came out a while back?

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. It also looks like he will be in a film called In Broad Daylight that I don’t know much else.

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

In Broad Daylight: This has no trailer or plot yet. But this TV movie has already aired. I have no idea what network this aired on. I see no choice but to remove it from updates as there’s not much else that can be said about this.

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. He is also going to be in a TV movie called Work Mom. A new thing that I see him mentioned in is Hollywood Fringe, a movie of some sort. He will also be in something called Eat Your Heart Out.

Captain Black: 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 been released now. I’m going to remove it from future updates, even though I’m not sure that it’s on DVD yet at all. Despite it being taken from these updates, I will include a trailer for it and thoughts on it.


Thoughts on trailer: This looks it could be questionable in terms of quality. It looks like an independent films and I haven’t liked many of those. Maybe it is could be good, but it just looks like someone trying to be a superhero, but not even in a more interesting way like I saw in the movie Kick Ass.

Work Mom: I have no idea what network this might air on. There is not a trailer for it, although I wouldn’t expect there to be one. It has an unknown release date at the moment. At least I know that the plot relates to a person hiring their unemployed mother at a place of some sort. It could be good or strange. At least it sounds like a nice attempt at a comedy. I don’t see this on imdb anymore so this might not be moving forward as a project anymore.

Hollywood Fringe: This movie doesn’t have a release date or trailer yet. The plot is about married actors putting on a play about their own lack of success in Hollywood. The plot sounds like it could use some work on. But I guess that I hope to see whatever becomes of it, if anything. I just know I don’t like having the same thing in here with no real update.

Eat Your Heart Out: This has an unknown date of release at the moment. The plot will be a bit complicated as someone literally gave his heart away and needs to get it back in order to marry someone else. Seems strange, but I might like it. Still, it is a short and I don’t know how I’d be able to watch any of those. There’s a trailer for it now:


Thoughts on trailer: This looks kind of weird, but I guess that it works as an idea of what they can do with a film like this. I don’t know why a heart would be in pieces and can only hope that the cat didn’t eat any of them. I guess I’ll see if I can see what the short film is like if I’m able to see it.

Hayley Kiyoko: With her not having much to talk about for a while, I might as well just talk about her music videos. I won’t know how old each of these are, but I will say one in every new post until she can find some long term project to mention instead or I stop trying to find new ones to share.


Thoughts on video: This seems a little bit strange, although I’m not sure if there is such a thing as a normal music video. The song seemed pretty good. As for the rest of the video, I’m not sure why they needed to waste so much time leading into it. The meaning of the song doesn’t seem hard to decipher. She’s looking for her true love, but hasn’t found her yet. I don’t know what this seemingly wiccan thing has to do with anything.

I don’t know if Hayley reads this blog of mine or not. I doubt it, but it is possible. All I know is that if she wants me to help promote her music videos, all she has to do is do a new one at least once a month. Then, I will include a link to it in my blog. I can’t promise that I’ll say something good about it. But I’ll be able to promote it.

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 season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. He will also be in Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men. It looks like he might also be in a show called Untitled Ted Danson Project. He could just call it The Ted Project a la Mindy Kaling.

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. It will end after this upcoming season.

Review: The Good Place: Status- Currently on hiatus. It will return in the fall. 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- Its upcoming season will be its last. 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.

Everything I Ever Wanted to Tell My Daughter about Men: This has no release date yet and does not have a plot yet either. If I had to guess, I’d say that the name of the movie sums up enough of what you’d think the plot would be about. So we’ll see what happens in this later in the future. I don’t see this on imdb anymore so it might not be moving forward as a project.

Untitled Ted Danson Project: This looks like a remake of The Mayor from not to long ago. In this show, a wealthy businessman becomes LA’s mayor. This is totally not inspired by something like Trump. This has no release date yet. I’d have to imagine that something could come of this real soon after The Good Place ends.

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’s also working on something new called Prism.

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.

Prism: This looks like a pilot for NBC. Nothing is certain yet about when or if it will air. It has no release date yet. I do hope that something comes of it and we’ll probably find out by May whether or not this will see the light of day. The plot is about investigations of murder told through different perspectives. One would guess that it is a new murder in each new episode. There are talks that this could wind up on Netflix if anything comes of this at all.

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.

Bebe Neuwirth: She’s had a recurring bit on Blue Bloods and may show up on it from time to time. There are other minor things that she has done. It appears that she will be in a new movie called Modern Persuasion. We’ll see what else she might be in later.

Modern Persuasion: This movie has an unknown release date at this time. The plot is about a woman’s ex-boyfriend hiring her company which forces her to deal with various things in her life. I don’t know yet what role Bebe will play in this.

John Noble: I don’t yet know if I’ll review some of what he does in my Elementary blog when the show is on hiatus like I did with True to the Game. But he has a lot of projects in the work, so I might as well get to mentioning all of them. One is called Silencio. Another is called Nameless. A different one is called Stream. Yet another is called Guardians of Luna. I wonder if they’ll all get made. He’s also in something new called Call Waiting.

Silencio: This looks like it will be Mexican and might not be in American theaters. It has a plot mentioned of someone looking for a powerful stone. It has a DVD release time frame of November 2019. I hope to review it when it is out on DVD. I just hope that I can review it in my Elementary blog before it comes back and when it isn’t during Lent. I have no idea if this is still coming out soon or not and it might only be on blu ray and not DVD.

Nameless: This could be interesting. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The plot relates to lost souls facing struggles with their past. It seems like it could be a good film, but it is hard to tell or know yet for sure. It seems like it could be good.

Stream: In this movie, telepathy is made possible, but it could have unforeseen outcomes. This seems like a possible basic premise for Downsizing with a different element of sci-fi used instead. There is not yet a trailer and there’s no release date yet. It only lists his role as rumored, so the movie could wind up happening, but not have him in it.

Guardians of Luna: This plot might be hard to keep track of. So there are werewolves that are part of a cursed town and there’s a war on humans potentially. It has no release date yet nor a trailer. But it does sound pretty interesting.

Call Waiting: This is has no plot listed yet. It’s year of release is 2019. I guess that we will find out later what will happen with this and what the plot of this short might be. Until then, I guess we’ll just wait and see what will happen with it.

Desmond Harrington: Here’s another actor from Elementary that I’m putting in this blog now. What is he doing now in life? Well, he is set to appear in a movie called Butterfly in the Typewriter, which I’ll explain in the next paragraph.

Butterfly in the Typewriter: I can’t tell yet if this is based off of a true story or not. I do know that it is about the struggles of an author to bring a comedy story to life. It has an unknown release date at this time. I guess we’ll see what comes of it later.

William Petersen: He hasn’t done much outside of CSI in the world of television or movies, but it looks like he is working on a project called Hurt People. He is a producer of this and not an actor of it. We will find out if he acts in something again.

Hurt People: Not much is known about this at the time. It is listed as a TV movie. It has no release date or trailer. It doesn’t look like it has a plot either. I can only guess what it will be about as a result. I guess we’ll see what, if anything, becomes of this.

David Caruso: This CSI: Miami actor has apparently done nothing in terms of acting for movies on TV since the show ended. Thus, there are no projects of his to keep track of. He must be making a good living from the residual checks from his show.

I’ve decided to keep a note here about the show Elementary until the show is over. I hope that this is not too tedious in any way. I will make a note for sure when the show is over and I’ll make sure that the two actors from it are no longer mentioned in this blog.
