Well, it is hard to keep track of what
all there is to update you about in terms of what should be in this blog versus
what should be or not. As you will find out, I was able to find a new video
store near where I live that has movies I can rent. I don’t know if I should tell
my other blogs or not since they might get the same impression when I’m able to
get to review movies that I wasn’t able to see in theaters. What is interesting
is that in terms of the TV schedule changes that I keep forgetting to tell
people about. Evil has now been replaced with Tommy. Why did they pick such a
masculine name for a show about a woman? Does that make sense to you?
Patricia Arquette: The main star of
CSI: Cyber has future projects mentioned on imdb right now. She is doing a
project called The Act. 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.
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.
Severance: I can’t tell if the release
date for this is this year or not. I’m going to say, for now, that the
timeframe of release is unknown for now. This will be a TV show. 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.
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outdated forever as I’ve been known for doing.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 was in a recent episode of All Rise,
but I do not know if it will be a more long term role or not.
James
Van Der Beek: I see a 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 going to be something called Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.
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?
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot: This is on
DVD now. The characters in this movie seek to prevent another reboot from
being made. I plan to watch more of the films of these characters in the future,
possibly. Here’s a review of the movie.
Movie Name: Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.
Rating- R. Noteworthiness- This is set in a movie universe called View Askew.
Description- Two stoner buds lose the rights to their names and want to prevent
a remake from happening. CSI: Cyber Alumni in it- James Van der Beek is in this
as himself. Pros- The style works and humor is on point. The plot is easy to
follow and never boring. Cons- Parts of it don’t make as much sense as it
should or could otherwise. It makes more sense if you are a fan of this
universe than if you just watched this alone. Note to Parents- There is a lot
of swearing and drug references such as on screen use of illegal drugs. This
movie is pro drug. There’s a lot of sexual content and a little nudity. There
are some questionable dialogue choices. There are references to LGBT related
issues at times such as two women married to each other. There is violence like
kidnapping and assault. Recommendation- I think that this might be worth a
watch. IMDB Ranking: 5.8. My Grade: B-.
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. I would review
his music videos, but don’t see a point to that right now.
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: 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.
Another thing mentioned that he’s doing is called Casting the Net. That
will be a TV show.
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.
Casting
the Net: This is set to be released sometime in 2020. I have no idea
what network this will air on. I also don’t know what the plot is. It could
relate to fishing, but I won’t know until more details about it are revealed.
This could start airing on 1-1-2020.
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.
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. 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
aired its last episode already.
Review:
The Good Place: 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. It has evolved enough times to
keep the show interesting still. Cons- 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. It is better for kids than most shows, but still has some
issues. Recommendation- I say that you should watch this if you can because it
is pretty good. My viewing habits- I first watched the first episode, but have
not seen all of it. Cancellation reasons- People who did the show wanted it to
end so it ended as a result. Similar shows: Bob hearts Abishola, The
Neighborhood, and The Unicorn. DVD suggestion- I recommend getting the whole series.
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.
Untitled
Ted Danson Project: This looks like a remake of The Mayor from not too long
ago. In this show, a wealthy businessman becomes LA’s mayor. This is totally
not inspired by someone 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. This actually has a longer name now, but I won’t call it by
something else until it has a real name instead of being an untitled project.
Anthony
E Zuiker: Finally! 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.
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.
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.
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. I no longer see this on imdb.
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.
Gary
Sinise: He has a lot of projects in the works. One is called I Still Believe.
He’s also in a movie called Good Joe Bell. Another project is No
Better Place to Die. That’s a whole lot of projects that he’s doing now.
Sources are also saying he’ll appear in the final season of 13 Reasons Why.
I
Still Believe: This is a movie about the Christian singer Jeremy Camp. It is
set to be released on March 20, 2020. It actually has a trailer that I
will talk about. This seems like it could be a better movie than others could
be.
Thoughts
on trailer: I don’t know the whole story yet about this so I’ll hopefully avoid
learning what happens until I see this movie. But it looks good. I like a lot
of these people from other projects and am glad that Gary is now in the updates
so I can review this movie for this blog. (I might have seen it anyways.) I
look forward to seeing it.
Good
Joe Bell: This is set to be released in 2020. It doesn’t have a trailer
yet or specific release date. It is about a gay teen who commits suicide after
struggling for acceptance. That sounds like a dark movie to me. Maybe it can
still be good, though.
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.
Anthony
LaPaglia: It appears that he will be in a TV miniseries called Halifax:
Retribution. 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.
Halifax:
Retribution: This has an unknown release date at this time. There is no
plot that I can find right now and I don’t know what network this will air on.
It might not even air in the US at all. There have been other Halifax stories,
apparently.
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 is in Running with
the Devil. He’s also in a movie called Brother’s Keeper. He’ll also
be in a TV movie called Rendlesham. Another thing he will be in is Crimson
Blues. A lot more could come all at once.
Running with the Devil: This movie is
on DVD now. I’ll talk about its trailer and if I am able to see the movie
in question at some point in time. Some movies are easier to see than others.
It seems to be about people in the drug business working to figure out what is
going on with missing shipments. I might like it, but probably won’t. And
that’s provided I can even see it.
Movie Name: Running with the Devil.
Rating- R. Noteworthiness- There’s nothing important to put here. Description-
We see the various inner workings of people in the illegal drug trade. CSI:
Alumni in it- Laurence Fishburne plays one of the criminals. Pros- It seems to
have a very strong anti-drug stance. Cons- The movie jumps around too much.
There is no one good to root for. Not all of it makes sense. Note to Parents-
There is a lot of bad language and violence. There’s sexual content and on
screen death. Cops do illegal things in this. Recommendation- Don’t bother with
it. IMDB Ranking: 5.4. My Grade: F.
Brother’s
Keeper: This doesn’t have a release date yet. It is the true story of a
football team from Abilene in 2009. I guess I’ll have to see the movie to find
out what happens and hopefully avoid any potential spoilers that I doubt I’ll
find out about anyways.
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.
Crimson
Blues: This has no release date yet. It seems to be about a police
officer who is looking for redemption after failing in a bad case year prior or
something like that. I would say that this could be good if done right.
Adam
Rodriguez: He will be in the final season of Criminal Minds. He’ll also
be in a show called Penny Dreadful: City of Angels. That’s all I can
find for him right now. We’ll see what all he might do in the future. Maybe he
will do more soon.
Criminal
Minds: There’s not much to say about this show. I will include my review of it
that you may have already seen in my TV blog. Other than that, it is going to
end and I don’t see much that we’ll be missing because of it.
Criminal Minds: Status- Currently on CBS at 9/8 Central on
Wednesdays. Why I’ve seen it- It was during summer reruns (I think) that I
first saw this. I was interested in seeing it at least once. Noteworthiness-
The first main character left over creative differences on this show and the
thought that it was too dark. Description- A law enforcement agency solves
crimes. Notable People- Adam Rodriguez, from CSI: Miami, is in this. Pros- It
is similar to other dramas so you know what to expect. Cons- It is too dark.
One wonders how it can be allowed on network television. Note to Parents- This
show is quite gruesome and graphic with its violence and crime. Don’t let
people under the age of 13 watch this. Recommendation- I don’t like it and
don’t recommend it. My Viewing Habits- I only watched this once and have no
interest in ever seeing it again. Prediction- It will be airing its final
season. Reception: negative. Grade: F.
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels: I don’t
know much about it other than that it might be on Showtime. This is already
out. This is a supernatural show about the occult. I don’t know what
network it is on or what time it airs.
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. At the moment, that’s it.
Dancing
with the Stars- This is currently on hiatus. James will be on this season
so I will be watching it at least once to see what it’s like. This is a reality
competition show where professional dancers team up with celebrities of sorts.
Review:
Status- Currently on hiatus. 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- Tom Bergeron, former host of
America’s Funniest Home Videos, is one of the co-hosts of this show. 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-.
