Cast Update 11-8-2021

With four of the last five posts being incomplete in my mind, I did a lot to ensure that this cast update would be complete so I wouldn’t have to worry too much about issue that I would have by not doing it. Well, I got it done and really need to sleep soon. I just hope that I get all that I want to done and should talk more about my blog writing addiction that I need to solve by maybe quitting all of them.

 

Here’s a paragraph worth posting in multiple blogs. This is affectively an apology. I have gone a long time in various blogs without doing movie reviews that I would like to get done. I either have not had the time or have not made the time to get them done. Well, it’s going to get even worse. I’m going to be busy throughout most of November and probably won’t have time during weekdays or weekends to see movies then outside of maybe one. During December, I will be focused on watching Christmas specials and movies for a while. I should have time in January, but with posts of these blogs being done early in the year, it could be February until you see some of the movie reviews that should be here. I’m sorry for the long and constant delays. But I thought that I would give you a heads up about this.

 

Patricia Arquette: The main star of CSI: Cyber has future projects mentioned on imdb right now. She does a lot, or at least did in the past. We’ll see what all she will do in the future regarding shows she does. A new project that I see her as doing is Severance.

 

Severance: This will be a TV show. It is set to be released in 2021. The plot is about a company that is trying to take work-life balance to a new level, according to the internet movie database. I’m unsure which network this will be on. The name might have changed to High Desert. These might be two different projects or are one in the same.

 

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 I hope that I can avoid saying things about him in a paragraph that could easily wind up outdated forever as I’ve been known for doing.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. He will be in a new film called Our Almost Completely True Story which we’ll see what comes of it.

 

Our Almost Completely True Story: I cannot make since of the plot, other than that it relates to Jewish people and leprechauns. Maybe it will make more sense later. It has no release date just yet. It does not have a trailer yet either.

 

James Van Der Beek: I see a project for him called Vampirina. 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. But I do believe that this show of his is still current.

                                                                                                                    

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-.

 

Shad Moss: After his planned movie finally disappeared from imdb since it seems not to be moving forward as a project, we finally learn of something new that he will be doing. It is F9. We’ll see if I can understand that or not.

 

F9: This is on DVD now. It is an abbreviation for Fast and the Furious 9 as there have been that many thus far. I wonder if I can get into this one first and then see any of the others later after it. There is a trailer for it. The plot relates to the younger brother of the main character being recruited for REVENGE! What else will happen? I guess that I’ll have to see then to know for sure.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEE4RO-_jug

 

Thoughts on trailer: There’s a lot going on with this that is hard to tell. Based on what little I’ve seen of these movies (never a whole one and part of a CinemaSins video on one), I was never expecting much realism from them. This magnet thing would have to bring out a third version of the sin counter. It looks like just what you would expect from this type of movie and I can’t tell if I’d like it or not yet.

 

I have not yet been able to see this movie. I hope that I can before too long. I will keep this notice in the updates unless or until I’m able to review the new one at some point in the future. Until then, you’ll have to wait. You could be waiting a while still.

Charley Koontz: He will be in something called Eat Your Heart Out. He is also now in something called Frank and Penelope. Maybe he will do more in the future or maybe not. I can only hope that he does more. But the less a person does, the less I have to cover for my blog.

 

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:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfJTMnCT7Ps

 

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.

 

Frank and Penelope: I don’t quite understand the plot of it yet. It seems like a man will fall in love with a stripper and that turns his life around somehow. The time frame of release is June of 2022. There is no trailer for this yet. I think that this is a movie.

 

Hayley Kiyoko: With no music videos that I can think of worth mentioning in this blog and all of her time being spent on music and not TV shows or movies, I don’t know if there is much to add in this section at the moment, but will keep it here for now and hope that she does something new.

 

Ted Danson: 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. It looks like he is in a show called Mr. Mayor on NBC.

 

Mr. Mayor: In this show, a wealthy businessman becomes LA’s mayor. There is a lot else to this show as well as there are more characters in the world that keep up with the whole interpersonal relationships and political world that this show is part of. It is on hiatus.

 

Review: Mr. Mayor: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I had to see it to review for my CSI: Cyber blog. Description- A wealthy man wants to impress his daughter and runs for mayor of LA, an election that he unexpectedly wins, thrusting him into a new world of politics. Notable People- Ted Danson, from Cheers, Becker, CSI, CSI: Cyber, and The Good Place, is the main character. Tina Fey from Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock, who also created Unbreakable Kimmi Schmidt and Great News, is the creator of this show. Bobby Monahan, also from Saturday Night Live, is a character on this show as well. Holly Hunter, from movies, is on the show. Pros- It seems like it is a pretty decent show. Cons- It does not have an original premise. Note to Parents- This could be a risky thing to let your kids watch as at least one episode focused on legalizing pot. I’d say to be careful with letting your kids see this. Recommendation- Toss-up. My Viewing Habits- I’ve seen the pilot, but am unsure yet if I will see any more of this over time. Prediction- It has been renewed for season 2 set to air next season. Reception: mixed. Grade: C.

 

Anthony E Zuiker: After all of this time wondering if the creator of one of TV’s longest running franchises is ever going to work again, I see him listed as the producer in a project. He is set to help make something called Spearfinger. And there is good news in that he will have involvement in CSI: Vegas so his franchise remains in his hands.

 

Spearfinger: This has no release date at this time. I think that it will be a movie. It is about a Native American legend regarding a woman with sharp fingers who would like to frighten people. There might need to be more to the plot than that, so we will see for sure what will happen with this project later as more information becomes available.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21st anniversary of the franchise. It is airing on CBS at 10/9 Central on Wednesdays. It is pretty good in some cases.

 

CSI: Vegas: Show Description- This is a continuation of the original CSI, largely focusing on a new team, but also bringing back people from the original team returning. Behind the Scenes- This has a lot of the original cast returning, including William Petersen, Jorja Fox, and Wallace Langham. It is also created by the same franchise creator as the four previous shows, Anthony E Zuiker. My Thoughts- I felt that this was quite a good show and worth keeping up with. Long Term Prospects- I don’t know if this is going to last now. You’d think that it would, but the main thing against it right now is whether or not it is just a short term plan in the end. Where to Find- On CBS at 10/9 Central on Wednesdays

Carol Mendelsohn: I will tell you about anything she is a producer of since I want to see something in these updates for her. I have no idea if there is something that she will be in, but I plan to keep track of what’s going on with her in the off chance that she does appear in something new.

 

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.

 

William Petersen: He hasn’t done much outside of CSI in the world of television or movies as far as I can tell. I think that he’s busy with stage work, the likes of which I will never see, probably. It turns out that he’s starring in an important new series in terms of both this blog and other things. He is currently in the show of CSI: Vegas.

 

CSI: Vegas: Not much is known or could be known about this right now other than the fact that it is going to be a new part of the CSI franchise after five years without a franchise in around the 21st anniversary of the franchise. It is airing on CBS at 10/9 Central on Wednesdays. It is pretty good in some cases.

David Caruso: This CSI: Miami actor has done nothing in terms of acting for movies on TV since the show ended. This is because he is retired from acting. I’ll still keep him in the updates in case there is a change and he does wind up doing something notable in the future.

 

Gary Sinise: He has projects in the works like No Better Place to Die. He will also appear in something called Zarrar. That’s all that I seem him doing right now currently. I guess we’ll see in the future what else he might be able to do. He’ll also be in Joe Bell.

 

No Better Place to Die: This movie is about part of a battle during World War II. It has no release date or trailer at the moment. To date, Gary’s role is the only one that is in the movie right now and even his is just rumored so we’ll see what happens.

 

Zarrar: This is a Pakistan based movie from what I can tell and I won’t know for sure what else to say about it as it seems strange what information I can gather from it thus far. There is no release date for this yet, but hopefully there will be at some point in time.

 

Joe Bell: This has been released in some way in theaters, but not the ones that I was able to see, as far as I know. This is on DVD now. It is about a man dealing with his bullied gay son’s death. And it is a true story, which is sad.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZsRjigfXiw

 

Thoughts on trailer: This seems like it could be inspiring in some ways to some people. I wouldn’t know what it would be like until I see it, if I do. It seems sad because of course it would be. I hope that it doesn’t get to be too preachy, but hopefully it can work out.

 

Blah, blah, blah, I haven’t been able to watch this yet, blah, blah, blah, it could be a while before I can see it, blah, blah, blah, I won’t even know for a while if my local video store will have this or not when I do check for it later so wait to see if it is there then.

 

Anthony LaPaglia: I don’t know much else he could be doing as that doesn’t show up right now. Maybe he will do more or maybe not. One can only hope that he does more, but maybe he doesn’t need to. He’ll be in something called Nitram that will hopefully come out at some point in the US. He’ll be in Florida Man. He’ll be in Antibody Heat.

 

Nitram: This may be out in foreign countries. This movie is based on the true event of the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. I have no idea right now when or if it will be in the US. Maybe it could be good as a movie, even while covering a serious topic. I am keeping this in the updates for now and we’ll see if it comes out in the future in America. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DK9RUl1BV4

 

Thoughts on trailer: This does not look interesting at all. The plot description seems much better than what the trailer seems to offer. The trailer isn’t helped by the very dull version of Chopsticks done in the background throughout nearly the whole trailer. I can’t make sense of what this is about or why someone would be so cruel.

 

Florida Man: This is a TV show set for release sometime in 2022. It’s about a former cop who returns to Florida and gets a case that winds up lasting way longer than you’d think that it should be. I’m unsure what network it will be on or if it will be in America or not. I can only hope that I can see it, or maybe not given my lack of time for things.

 

Antibody Heat: This is a comedy about the pandemic because that storyline hasn’t been done to death after production on shows resumed. Didn’t Connecting try this already? Anyways, it has no release date or trailer just yet.

 

Laurence Fishburne: He has a recurring role in Black-ish. But that’s not worthy of its own section in this blog as it is not a starring role. He’ll be in a TV movie called Rendlesham. He’ll be in another thing called Blacksmith. He’ll also be in All the Old Knives. Yet another thing he’ll be in is Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. More things that he is doing are The School for Good and Evil and something called Bronzeville that might be on now. He’ll also be in John Wick Chapter 4, Sneaks, and MacGruber.

 

Rendlesham: This has no release date just yet. The plot relates to probably aliens in the 80s in England. I have no idea what network it might air on just yet. Hopefully, I will find out more about this in the future. We’ll see if this really is aliens or is something else entirely.

 

Blacksmith: This has an unknown release date. In it, a man becomes a fugitive when his lab is destroyed. Hopefully, more will be revealed beyond that in the future and I hope that we’ll find out more then in the future. It could be cool if it is made and comes out.

 

All the Old Knives: The release date is unknown at the time. It is about two federal agents and ex-lovers who have to look back on a six year ago mission to see what might have happened to another agent. It seems like it could be interesting.

 

Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: This is set to air sometime in 2022. It looks like it would be a kid’s show based off of these characters and would be animated. There is not much else to say about this as I don’t know what network or streaming service this will be on yet and too much of this is still unknown at the moment.

 

The School for Good and Evil: In this planned movie, boys are girls are taken to a place and trained to be either heroes or villains. It is set for release in 2022. It looks like it will be done in a sort of anime style. This could be interesting or could be generic.

 

Bronzeville: This seems to be out now. But I don’t know much about it. I do not even know a plot. I don’t know what network or streaming service this is on. But I do know that it has Laurence as one of the actors in the movie at this point.

 

John Wick Chapter 4: This has nothing much revealed about it other than being a film in this series. I have no idea what this series is about. I only know that it exists. This is set to be released on May 27, 2022. Maybe I’ll have to do more research into this franchise now and if I’ll even be able to see the first three movies if I even like the fourth one. (Of course, I have to make sure that I don’t judge a movie too much if I haven’t seen over movies in the franchise first, as I had that issue initially with The Bourne Supremacy, having not seen the first movie in the franchise when I saw it.)

 

Sneaks: In this animated movie, we see to see sneakers try to return to their owners. The release date is unknown. What else is there to say about this for now? I have no idea, but hope that we will see a lot more of this in the future.

 

MacGruber: This will be on Peacock, a streaming service. It has no release date yet. This is based on a Saturday Night Live sketch which is a parody of MacGyver. I wasn’t sure how they got a whole movie out of it and now they are doing a whole show? There is a trailer for this that I will talk about:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLoO-BAn4mo

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, this isn’t as good a trailer as I would like to have for this. It might be a good show or as good as the show can be given what it is normally like. I can’t say too much about this, but hopefully it won’t be too weird.

 

Adam Rodriguez: We’ll see what all he might do in the future. He is currently set to do two different things. One of them is Ordinary Joe. The other one is A Christmas Proposal. I hope that these turn out to be good, if I can see them at all.

 

Ordinary Joe: This is airing now on NBC at 10/9 Central on Mondays. It is about a man who makes a choice and we see his choice in three different timelines. Will this work where Awake didn’t? (I’m not saying that Awake was bad, it just didn’t get good ratings.) Enjoy this review of it:

 

Ordinary Joe: Show Description- We see three different timelines of the life of one man. It is not that much of a supernatural or science fiction show as it is a regular show done with parallel timelines at once. Behind the Scenes- This has Adam Rodriguez from CSI: Miami, among other things. This is based on something called The Format. This was originally written as a pilot back in 2006 before being revived. It was also delayed due to covid related shutdowns such as the originally filming and airing of the show in question. My Thoughts- The show is pretty interesting and it seems simple enough to keep the three timelines separate. It can be confusing at times, but I like it. I give it three out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- This has low ratings so it might not last. Where to Find- On NBC at 10/9 Central on Mondays

 

A Christmas Proposal: This is set to come out sometime in 2021. I don’t have a plot for this yet or a trailer. I’m guessing that this is going to air on Hallmark, but don’t know this for sure if that will happen. It does say that it is a TV movie.

 

Melina Kanakaredes: She will be in a movie called Wake. That is all that I see her in at the moment. She has done a lot of TV roles, be it main or recurring, so I hope to see more of her in the future. Until then, I’ll report what I know of what she’s done.

 

Wake: This has an unknown release date at this moment. Its main focus is on a lie of some sort that tore people apart. Something interesting must happen beyond that. I just don’t yet know what that will be. I look forward to seeing it, hopefully.

 

Marianne Jean-Baptiste: She has acted a lot ever since Without a Trace ended. I’ll see through time what else she appears in. She will be in something called Boxing Day. She’ll also be in Rumble Through the Dark.

 

Boxing Day: This is set for release on December 3, 2021, presumably in either November or December. It is a movie inspired by a person’s life as he introduces his fiancĂ©e to his family and learns of the life that she left behind. One wonders if this will be like most Hallmark Christmas movies supposedly are, even though this does not appear to be a Hallmark Christmas movie. The release is said to be a UK one.

 

Rumble Through the Dark: I can’t make as much sense out of the plot even after reading it on imbd as it seems to relate to someone trying to save the home of his foster mother and perhaps his family too. It has no release date at this moment.

 

Kristen Bell: She is doing a whole lot still. Let’s see if I can cover all of what’s she’s done since The Good Place ended. She is in a TV show called Central Park. She will also be in a reboot of Gossip Girl. She’ll also be in Queenpins. Yet another thing she is doing is Do, Re, & Mi, a TV show. She will also be in The Woman in the House. And one last thing that I see now is called Molly and the Moon. She will be in Ultra City Smiths as well. She should also be in The People We Hate at the Wedding. She’s also hosting the game show Family Game Fight.

 

Central Park: This is an adult animated show on Apple TV about people who live and work in Central Park and save both it and the world. It is available now. I don’t think that there is too much else to say about it, other than that it’s by the same creators as Bob’s Burgers and even seems to have the same animation style in it too.

 

Gossip Girl: This is an HBO Max reboot. I never understood the appeal of that show back then and am perfectly fine not seeing this on cable or anywhere else. I do not know if I know anyone whom I could borrow the original series from, although I will not rule that out. Also, didn’t they reveal who Gossip Girl was? Is there going to be a new person doing that in the reboot or are we just expected to forget what’s been revealed in this show already? This is streaming now.

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhsV1gPVJMQ

 

Thoughts on trailer: Well, it seems like there are some aspects that could be interesting to me, but most of this is not something that I care for. I never liked the idea of the original show, but never actually gave it a chance in the end. This seems like it is focused too much on sex and other aspects of life that I’m just not that interested in seeing on this show that I wouldn’t care to watch anyways. It’s a good thing, then, that I won’t be able to see it.

 

Enjoy this review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPQ4nuIe0ck

 

Queenpins: In this movie, there is a coupon scam that housewives want to run. This is out now. I don’t think that there is too much else to say, outside of the fact that it doesn’t seem that original a premise to me just yet, given the plots of Good Girls and In the Dark. But it could be good and worth watching. We’ll see. There is a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vYErV9vmL0

 

Thoughts on trailer: I’m not entirely sure what this type of movie is supposed to be. Is it a comedy? One would think so. But there’s enough of a dramatic part to it that it could put the rest of the comedy aspects on edge if you would. I didn’t know that this was a true story. I would guess that they got caught. I think that it could be interesting to see if I am able to see it. Also, maybe my criticism of its lack of originality was unjust if this is based on something that actually happened. I have no idea when or if I’ll be able to see this, but this will remain in the updates for now.

 

Do, Re, & Mi: This is a kid’s show about bird friends who live in a music based world, it seems. I’m not entirely sure what network it will air on, if it even airs on a network at all. This is out now. Maybe we’ll see in the future. There is a trailer for this:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_ZrizcZdGI

 

Thoughts on trailer: I hadn’t realized that this was already out. I plan to just tell you about more of the release date in the next post. I might be able to see this, but am not sure about it just yet. As for what I think about it, the trailer seems too simple and I can’t gather too much from it. I don’t know if I can like kid’s shows the way that I used to in the past. But I might give this a try as it seems like it could be good enough. Also, is it just me, or is the lighting of too many animated shows of today too bright?

 

The Woman in the House: This is a planned mini-series. I can’t find a plot for it yet. There is no release date or trailer for it yet. The title sounds a bit ominous so it might be strange like that or maybe not. We’ll have to see later. Or maybe it relates to Bones with the way we see a title like that.

 

Molly and the Moon: This has a currently unknown release date. It is said to be a musical and appears to be written by the creators of How I Met Your Mother. (Do people still like them after they ended that show?) There is no known plot of this at the time. Maybe it will be a movie, but could be something else. Too much of this on imdb is vague right now.

 

Ultra City Smiths: This is a TV show about a celebrity’s disappearance. It has been released. I do not yet know what network or streaming service this will be on. It could be interesting, but I’d have to know more about it. There’s a trailer for this now:

 

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qthWw6NPMA

 

Thoughts on trailer: This looks weird and I probably would have liked it better if it were live action focusing on a more serious plot. I can’t gather much from the trailer, but there sure are a hell of a lot of people in it. And I guess that’s all that I can make sense of it for now. What else is there to say?

 

The People We Hate at the Wedding: The title explains a lot of this as a family has conflict leading up to a wedding. I don’t think that there’s much else that one could say about that. It has no release date yet. It is based off of a book.

 

Family Game Fight: This show is another primetime game show from the mind of Ellen. I think that it works much better than her Game of Games show, although there are still some issues that I notice with it at time to time. If you want to know more about it, here’s a review.

 

Family Game Fight: Status- Currently on hiatus. It is unknown if it is coming back. Why I’ve seen it- I had to review it for a blog of mine. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from some of Ellen’s work on her talk show. Description- Two families compete against each other in various games for the most points and a shot at $100,000. Notable People- Married couple Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are the co-hosts of this show that also compete in it with the families. Ellen DeGeneres also created this and is inspired by some of her talk show’s games and her game show, Ellen’s Game of Games. Pros- It seems pretty good and fair. I can’t think of much wrong with it. Cons- Some of the games can be weird. Note to Parents- There is some bad stuff that shows up from time to time, but not too bad in the end. Recommendation- I think that it is worth keeping up with. My Viewing Habits- I’ve only seen one whole episode thus far and parts of others, but would like to see it again if I can since it is pretty good. Prediction- It may not last or return, but might stick around. We might have to wait until summer of 2022 to know for sure. Reception: somewhat positive. Grade: B.

 

Marg Helgenberger: One of the benefits to missing stuff in the updates is that she was going to be in a pilot that was not picked up so I won’t have to waste time putting any of that in the blog and then taking it back out again. She could return for more of All Rise, but I don’t know yet if she will.

 

Rory Cochrane: It looks like he will appear in two movies or projects that might seem like them in the future. One is called Antlers. He will also be in something new called Encounter. Something new he is doing is Untitled Lakers Project.

 

Antlers: This is in theaters now. I don’t know if I hope that it will be in theaters then or not. It is a horror film about a child with dark secrets (because that totally hasn’t been done already before) and two siblings who are trying to save him from some sort of horrible creature. There is a trailer for this that I will talk about.

Thoughts on trailer: Maybe this could be more interesting than I might have thought in the first place. It certainly doesn’t seem similar to The Sixth Sense and could have a more original seeming aspect to it even though a lot of the plot is similar to stuff that I know of from other horror films. It could be good in the end. It’s hard to know now for sure.

 

I could have maybe seen this in one world in theaters over the weekend, but am now unsure if I will see it there or not. I could watch it on my own, but horror movies can’t really be watched alone. It’s not that you will get scared if you watch it by yourself. It’s that you won’t get scared and get the reaction that they are wanting. Plus, I’m hoping that I don’t have to wait until the film is on DVD in the future.

 

Encounter: In this movie, possibly a remake of others, two brothers and their father seek to protect each other (and possibly the world as a whole) from an alien threat. There is a release date of December 10, 2021. I hope that this is nothing like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, unless it has a better ending than that did in the end. Otherwise, this will certainly get an F. There is a trailer for this now:

Thoughts on trailer: This looks dramatic and cool looking. The trailer also looks vague in some places and I can’t gather as much from it as I would like. But it could be cool and I might like to see it. Again, either don’t be like Invasion of the Body Snatchers or have a different ending than that did.

 

Untitled Lakers Project: This isn’t set to air until sometime in 2022. There is no trailer yet and I’m not sure yet what network or streaming service this might air on just yet. But I do know that this is a planned show about the 1980s Lakers.

 

Carmine Giovinazzo: He is now doing two different projects right now. One of them is 892. The other is Un$uited. Hopefully I’ll see more of what he’s doing in the future, but know that there is a lot that I might not be able to see.

 

892: This is about a marine who has struggles getting back into civilian life. It does not have a release date or trailer just yet. It could be interesting, but sounds like it could also be cliché with plenty of other existing projects like this already out.

 

Un$uited: This is a show about someone who wants to become a professional poker player before finding out just how much he sucks at it. It has no release date yet or trailer. I don’t know what network or streaming service this will be on.

 

Eric Close: After seeming to do only Christmas related things for a while, he is now set to star in The Mulligan. I look forward to seeing what else he might do in the end besides that. We’ll see if there is anything else worth mentioning in the future.

 

The Mulligan: This seems to relate to golf in some ways, but is about far more than just that in the end. But I’d have to wait and see to know more about it. It does not have a release date at the moment. Let’s hope that more is known in the future.

 

William Jackson Harper: He is doing something called Dogs in Space. That is the only thing that I see him doing right now as most of what he’s done since The Good Place ended has already happened as of this update. He is also in Love Life which I plan to cover more in the next post.

 

Dogs in Space: This is a planned TV show. It is set to air starting on November 18, 2021. There is currently not a trailer for this yet and it is not guaranteed to move forward as a project as far as I know. The plot of it relates to genetically enhanced dogs trying to find a new planet called home. It is a kid’s show that would be animated. I wonder what lessons there will be to learn from it. there is a trailer for this that I’ll get into in the next post of this blog, I hope.

 

Simone Missick: She will be in a project called Hanging by a Thread. All Rise was picked up for a third season by OWN after all. I’m still including her in the updates for now, but plan to skip All Rise in the rotation of new people added to this blog (outside of confirmed former cast members and maybe the original showrunner) to avoid confusion until it ends for real in the future.

 

Hanging by a Thread: This has no release date or trailer yet. It is about a bipolar man who wants to enforce his medicine free ways on his nephew who is also bipolar. This seems like it could have a lesson or just be really strange. Hopefully the lesson is not what the uncle wants to have happen.

 

Gary Dourdan: He is doing a lot of projects. One of them is First Wives Club. He’ll also be in The Moderator. A third thing that he’s doing is The Sea Sand. A fourth thing that he is doing is Thebes. A fifth thing that he is doing is Mnemonix. A sixth thing that he is doing is Desdemona’s Revenge. A seventh thing that he is doing is Bonecrackers.

 

First Wives Club: This is a TV show that airs on BET+. It is a comedy series about three women who form a friendship after their marriages fall apart. I doubt that I will be able to see it, but will include it in these updates as long as it lasts. There is a trailer for this that I’ll get to later.

 

The Moderator: This has no release date or trailer yet. In this movie or some other sort of drama, a female blogger wants to bring her own justice after two of her friends wind up murdered. As a real blogger, I’d have to recommend against vigilante justice.

 

The Sea Sand: This is a drama set in the 1920s about a woman seeking to find what had happened to her kidnapped twin. This has no release date yet or trailer. It sounds like it could be an interesting plot. I just hope that they have real twins playing the role, unless it isn’t identical twins.

 

Thebes: This is a movie about a detective looking for a missing teen from a small town and learns that there are dark secrets there and she’ll have to face her past in some way. Now while this sounds interesting, it also sounds like the plot for plenty of other movies that already exist. This has no release date or trailer yet.

 

Mnemonix: It is about a virus that killed half of human life while also creating a new form of life as well. It is set for release sometime in 2022. It could be interesting, even with the unoriginal elements of The Time Machine and The Crossing.

 

Desdemona’s Revenge: Not surprisingly, this has no release date yet. It also had no trailer at this moment either. It is about a pair of thieves and the people chasing them with the plot on imbd possibly spoiling the entirety of this short.

 

Bonecrackers: The plot appears to be about a crime family of sorts. It has no release date yet nor does it have a trailer. I can’t tell what all to make out about this without going too much into the potential plot. But expect a lot of deception going on with the characters.

 

Sofia Milos: This actress from CSI: Miami has a project in the works. It is Made Guys. I’ll have to see what else she might do in the future other than that. I look forward to covering what all she is doing next. But it won’t actually be that, probably.

 

Made Guys- This looks like a stoner comedy movie about people who accidently join the mob or something like it. This has no release date or trailer just yet. But it looks like it could be good, maybe, if it isn’t too dumb. This is no longer on imdb.

 

Former projects: In this section, I will keep track of shows that people in this blog used to be mentioned in as doing in some way. I might keep track of other things too. This will be used to keep track of what shows might still be on even after someone has left it in some way. Dancing with the Stars is one of these shows. Since Shad Moss’s time in it is over, I’m including The Masked Singer in this part as well.

 

Dancing with the Stars- This is currently on ABC at 8/7 Central on Mondays. I watched it at least once to see what it’s like and because James Van Der Beak was on it. This is a reality competition show where professional dancers team up with celebrities of sorts.

 

Review: Status- Currently on ABC at 8/7 Central on Mondays. Why I’ve seen it- I watched it since James Van Der Beek was in a season of it. Description- Celebrities team up with professional dancers to compete on a live show. Notable People- Carrie Ann Inaba, who is currently on The Talk, is a judge on the show. Pros- It can be better and more interesting than one might think, giving its genre. Cons- Too much time is wasted on this show due to set up to dances and other competitions. Note to Parents- Outside of sometimes inappropriate outfits, there might not be too much bad in the show, although you’d have to watch for yourself. Recommendation- This isn’t too bad, but isn’t outstanding either. The main reason why one wouldn’t want to watch it would be time commitment to other things. Prediction- This will probably keep lasting. Reception: good. Grade: B-.

 

The Masked Singer: I knew it was only a matter of time before someone that I covered in one of the cast updates was on this show. Thus, I’m going to include a review here. If I had to guess that anyone from any show I do cast updates of was going to appear on this show, I knew that it would probably be Shad Moss before it would be anyone else.

 

The Masked Singer review: Status- Currently on FOX at 8/7 Central on Wednesdays. Why I’ve seen it- It turns out that Shad Moss, whose career I follow for a blog, was on the show so I watched it to see what it was like. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from a South Korean show and is the first non Asian adaptation of the show. Description- Different celebrities in masks compete on a singing show where the loser gets unmasked. While all get unmasked at some point, the winner goes the longest without this fate. Notable People- Ken Jeong, from Community and Dr. Ken, is a judge on the show. Pros- This doesn’t have as bad a voting problem as other reality competition shows since what we see is always pretaped. Even if they aren’t professional singers, they can still be good. Cons- Some have complained that the results of voting is too random and can eliminate great professional singers from the game. Too much of this seems wasted on the banter between the judges and host or trying to guess the identities of the singers. Note to Parents- I haven’t seen enough of this to know if it is bad, but my guess is that this is something the whole family could watch. Recommendation- I think that it is a good show in the end and worth keeping up with if you don’t care much about anything else. My Viewing Habits- I saw this once in the third season before watching it a lot again in the fourth and fifth season. I don’t know yet if I will see it again due to scheduling conflicts. Prediction- This will probably last quite a while since it is said to be the most watched show now. Reception: somewhat mixed. Grade: B-.

 

In order to keep track of new people, this post will start sharing a theme song from either the original CSI or CSI: New York until I’ve shared all of them in this blog and I’ve caught up with it as a result. You will have to read my Elementary blogs for the theme songs from CSI: Miami, although I will post any of them here in good time if the links become dead when I check them later.
