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outdated forever as I’ve been known for doing.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

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 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.
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.
