There are a lot of notes here about changes on how a new blog about CSI: Vegas in the future will be factored into this one and the others over time. Of course, we might have to wait even longer for a new CSI franchise show if CSI: Vegas isn’t a long term series. Some are promoting it as an event series. Maybe it will start small and turn into a long term series in the end. Nowadays, it is hard for some shows to stay cancelled. Look at Lucifer. It keeps getting cancelled over and over again. I can hope that there will be more than just a short series of episodes of CSI: Vegas. But it might not be the case. Still, I plan to do a long term blog on that show even if it doesn’t last long.
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.
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outdated forever as I’ve been known for doing.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 has a minor role in All Rise. 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. He will also be in Fast
Foodies.
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-.
Fast
Foodies: This is out now on Tru TV. I have no idea what role James might
have in it. The plot basically relates to people trying to recreate a
celebrity’s favorite dish for others. I guess that James will be one of the
celebrities featured in it at one point. There is a trailer for this now.
Trailer
link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NvEpWV6rIE
Thoughts
on trailer: Well, I can’t make much out of this trailer which could mean that I
couldn’t make much out of this series if I wanted to. I’m not really interested
in food type shows so this doesn’t seem like it would peak my interest. It’s
not you. It’s me. At least I know now that this will be on Tru TV. Sorry that
its premiere has happened already.
Shad Moss: After his planned movie
finally disappeared from imdb for a while since it seemed not to move 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 set for release on June
25, 2021. 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!
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.
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.
That is all I really see him in for now. Maybe he will do more in the future or
maybe not.
Hollywood
Fringe: 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. It
appears to be out now so I will be removing this from the updates. I
doubt that I’ll be able to review this.
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.
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: 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.
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.
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. Sorry for
burying the lead. He will appear in 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 will air on CBS, but probably won’t air until later this year. The release
date is unknown at this time. Stay tuned for more.
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.
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.
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’s also in a pilot that
is planned now called Red Zone.
Nitram:
This is set for release on August 11, 2021. That is an Australian
release date. 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.
Red
Zone: This is a pilot for a potential drama on CBS. It is about a retired CIA
agent who investigates a terrorist attack. I hope that it gets picked up to
series, even though it does sound like it is a bit generic as an idea. But it
could be good and interesting. If I don’t hear about this once a schedule is
made official, then I will take this out of the updates.
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. Another
thing he will be in is Crimson Blues. He will also be in The Ice Road.
He’ll be in yet another thing called Blacksmith. He’ll also be in All
the Old Knives and Under the Stadium Lights. Yet another thing he’ll
be in is Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. More things that he is
doing are Sneaks and The School for Good and Evil.
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.
The
Ice Road: This has a release year of 2021. It is a USA release year now.
The plot is about people trying to save those in a mine while having to deal
with an ice thaw coming up. It looks like it could be interesting, but I’ll
have to see later for sure.
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.
Under the Stadium Lights: Formerly
known as Brother’s Keeper, this movie doesn’t have much to it. It has a score
on imdb, but still has a future release date of June 4, 2021. I will
keep it in the updates for now. 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.
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.
Sneaks: This sounds strange as it is
apparently about sneakers that must find their way through New York City to
find the person it belongs to? I’m guessing this is animated? I hope that it
comes off as better looking that Everybody’s Hero, which I never saw due to lack
of interest. This has no release date or trailer.
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.
Adam
Rodriguez: We’ll see what all he might do in the future. Maybe he will do more
soon. There is still a lot of what I can hope that he does in the future, but
there largely isn’t much that I can talk about until it happens so hopefully
more will happen soon and I can see what he does.
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 also appears to be in the next season of Jack Ryan.
Boxing
Day: This is set for release in 2021, presumably in either November or
December. It is a movie inspired by a person’s life as he introduces his
fiancée 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.
Jack
Ryan: This is a TV series about a CIA agent who is thrown into dangerous
assignments that deal with terrorism. It is a Prime Video series. That means
that some of it should be available now. I have no idea when season 3
will drop.
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.
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 set to air in 2021. 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?
Queenpins:
In this movie, there is a coupon scam that housewives want to run. It has a release
year of 2021. It does not have a trailer yet at this time. 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.
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. The release date is unknown at this time.
Maybe we’ll see in the future.
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.
Marg
Helgenberger: Obviously to me, one of the most notable things that she does is
the TV show All Rise. A review of that now follows after a small blurb
about the show. That is all she is doing for now. Maybe more will come later.
All
Rise: This is a courtroom drama with some more emphasis on the judges than we
see typically in shows like it usually. It airs on CBS right now and is
currently on hiatus. I will put a return date in this blog when one is
available, if it isn’t already. A review of this show now follows, for those
who haven’t seen it before.
All Rise: Status- Currently on CBS at 9/8 Central on Mondays. Why I’ve seen it- I tend to watch shows on CBS at least once. Description- This is a courtroom drama largely from a judge’s perspective. Pros- It seemed pretty good. We see what we normally don’t in perspective. Cons- It does have a problem by not seeming much different from other shows like it, outside of who the main focus is on. Note to Parents- This might not have too much that kids can’t see, but could have issues beyond that as it would focus on bad things in people’s lives such as crimes. Recommendation- Maybe this is worth the time, but it might not be since it might be leaving the airwaves soon. My Viewing Habits- While I like the show, I don’t think that I’ll be able to see it much outside of the one time I saw it. Prediction- This could last. Reception: generally favorable. Grade: A.
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. The other is called
Tyson’s Run. I look forward to seeing them if I can. He will also be in
something new called Invasion.
Antlers:
This is set for release on October 29, 2021. 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.
Trailer
link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ng5eyOfL8qM
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.
Tyson’s
Run: This has an unknown release date right now. It doesn’t have a
trailer yet either. It is about an autistic person trying to win a marathon for
some reason, although I’m sure I’m not doing the plot justice. It could be
good. We’ll see, maybe. I don’t see this on imdb anymore.
Invasion:
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 not a release date yet nor is there a trailer. I hope that this
is nothing like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, unless it has a better ending
than that did in the end.
Carmine
Giovinazzo: He does not appear to have any current notable projects in the
works in the future right now that I should keep track of just yet. With not
much else to say about that, I will still include him in the post until he does
something.
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 hiatus. 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. This will be returning in the future with a new season.
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- 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 and 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.
CSI: New York season 8 theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYOJeeLh4I0
With an upcoming new part of the CSI
franchise set to appear in the future, I think that I should cover songs that
The Who did over the course of time. I won’t know for sure which one that I’ll
have in this blog (if any of them) will appear as the theme song of CSI: Vegas.
But I will include one each month until the theme song is known for sure. I’ll
have to make sure that the song as the theme song is included by then if it
hasn’t been already. The songs that they’ve done thus far as theme songs in The
CSI franchise are Won’t Get Fooled Again, Baba O’Riley, I Can See for Miles,
and Who Are You? Will this be the next one that they do?
