There is a whole lot to talk about in this introduction to this blog here. The first and most notable thing is that I’ve banished Adam Rodriguez out of this blog to Elementary’s one as my way of trying to phase out the now officially cancelled Ordinary Joe. Its first mention in this blog occurred in August, although it would have been sooner had my blog been up to date at the time. The other notable things relate to the following NFL teams: Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, Los Angeles Chargers, Francisco 49ers, New York Giants, New York Jets, San and Seattle Seahawks. I was already rooting for the first four already with the Rams as my highest ranked team. The last three are the lowest tier of teams that I root for as one is from Washington state and the other two are inexplicitly from New Jersey despite being called New York teams all the time.
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. She also seems to be in High Desert.
Severance:
This is a TV show. It is out now. The plot is about a company that is
trying to take work-life balance to a new level, according to the internet
movie database. That involves splitting their minds into two in a way. Here is
a trailer for this now:
Trailer
link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTqlZkvbNVg
Thoughts
on trailer: Maybe this is the only trailer or maybe there will be more.
Anyways, from what I can tell of this, it might be trying to go for something,
but also doesn’t seem entirely original, even though I couldn’t tell you what
else this might be like. It could be an interesting show or it could be very
confusing. Are they really doing this of their own free will? It seems
otherwise. I hope for more clarification later. But this could be a good show
that I might never see.
High Desert: This is set for release
sometime in 2022. It is about a former addict who becomes a PI after the
death of her mother. Sorry that this hadn’t gotten its own part of this blog
before. Now it finally does as I understand it now and so does imdb.
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a paragraph that could easily wind up outdated forever as I’ve been known for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. he will also be in Home Delivery.
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 a release date of April
3, 2022. It has a trailer:
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W2yWH9r6nM
Thoughts on trailer: This looks very,
incredibly odd. I can’t quite make sense of this. I do not think that I want to
watch this because it looks more like the intent is humor than it is actually humorous.
I hate movies that are painfully unfunny. And what does this have to do with leprechauns?
She’s a leprechaun? Really? Are they sure about that? I guess that the new
Charmed wants us to challenge our notion about what a leprechaun is, but this
does not seem like it belongs in the description as it seems more normal than
that.
Home Delivery: In this movie,
apparently a fat model is expecting her first child. It might not sound too
weird or whatever. There is no release date or trailer for this yet.
I’ll have to see it to see if this might be good or not.
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
has been cancelled.
Review: 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 was unable to see it again. Cancellation
reasons- I guess that they just wanted to end it for some reason. Similar
shows- no idea. DVD suggestion- It might be worth it, but I just don’t know for
sure. Reception: good. Grade: B-.
Shad
Moss: Since there’s no future known projects of his to keep track of for the
foreseeable future, I’m going to cover one of his music videos in each of these
blog posts for the next set of blog posts in this section until he does
something worth covering in this blog again.
Take Ya Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7g2UBdFSfM
Thoughts on video: What was up with
that fight at the beginning of this video? I have no idea what that was about. The
song itself wasn’t too bad, although it is a problem that it was a child at the
time singing it. Did he realize the potential problems with this? I do like the
backgrounds against the obvious green screen as they look cool. This is more of
the type of rap that I can like and get behind. While I have issues with rap at
times, the only genre of music that I can’t stand and don’t like are mash-ups. They
always tend to ruin whatever songs they are doing.
Charley Koontz: He will be in something
called Eat Your Heart Out. He is also now in something called Frank
and Penelope. He will also be in Long December. Another thing that
he will be in is a National Treasure TV show.
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.
Long
December: This has no trailer at the time. It also has no release date.
The plot right now relates to a struggling music artist trying to succeed at
what he wants to do as the year comes to an end. That’s all that I can make
sense of right now regarding it.
National Treasure: I’m unsure if this
relates to the movie series of the same name or not. It is about a DREAMer that
seeks to find her family history and lost treasure. There is no release date
or trailer for this yet.
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 Tuesdays at 8:30/7:30 Central on NBC.
Review: Mr. Mayor: Status- Currently on NBC at 8:30/7:30 Central on NBC.
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
and a second episode, but am unsure yet if I will see any more of this over
time. Due to time commitments, I’m unsure if I will be able to see any of the
second season of this. 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 on hiatus. It is pretty good in some cases.
CSI: Vegas: Status- Currently on hiatus.
Why I’ve seen it- I’m a fan of the CSI franchise so I wanted to watch this new
one as well. Noteworthiness- This is a continuation of the original CSI,
largely focusing on a new team, but also bringing back people from the original
team returning. Description- We return to characters from the original show
solving new mysteries and dealing with potential issues of old teammates.
Notable People- 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. Pros- I
felt that this was quite a good show and worth keeping up with. Cons- It can be
too mysterious for its own good and also could ruin what’s previously part of
the franchise. Note to Parents- Don’t let preteens watch this, but teens and
older can. Recommendation- This is good and worth watching. My Viewing Habits-
I plan to watch every episode about this to blog about it. Prediction- 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. It is going to last 10 episodes this season so we’ll wait to see if
there will be more episodes and/or more seasons. Reception: great. Grade: B+.

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. It turns out that she’s a
producer in CSI: Vegas.

Ann
Donahue: I have no idea how I missed this, but she’s in the new CSI: Vegas
as well. I should have all of the main three CSI creators in this as they are
all involved in some way (although, maybe not as much Anthony, which is weird),
shape, or form. Still, enjoy this section on her that you’ve seen before with
other people.

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. I have no idea if he will still be a
producer in CSI: Vegas.
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. That’s
all that I seem him doing right now currently. I guess we’ll see in the future
what else he might do. It could be a lot still or not that much in the end.
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.
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. I don’t think that I’m going to be able
to see this and can’t find any information about any release that hasn’t
already happened. Thus, I’m finally going to remove this from the updates.
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,
John Wick Chapter 4, Sneaks, MacGruber, and Slingshot.
A long delayed thing he might be in is Black Water Transit.
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: This is set for release
on April 8, 2022. 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. This has a trailer now:
Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s7NziAetNs
Thoughts on trailer: This looks like it
could be interesting, although I wish that it didn’t focus too much on SEX like
it seems to at some points in this. Since it is a streaming film, it is likely
that I won’t ever be able to see it, which is a shame. I’d like to know what
would happen in this, but guess that I could always just read the book this is
based on that might end up being better anyways. I just hope that parts of this
aren’t obvious.
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.
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 24, 2023. 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. I might have to use that account
again. It is out now. 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?
Review:
Show Description- MacGruber is released from jail to help out with more cases
that the government needs help with. Behind the Scenes- This is inspired by a
Saturday Night Live sketch that’s a parody of MacGyver. It features some of the
same people from both like Will Forte, who was also in The Last Man on Earth,
and Kristen Wiig. Also in this is Laurence Fishburne. It is also a continuation
of the movie. My Thoughts- This seems random and vulgar. It can be very
inappropriate. But it has its moments of humor as well and could be worth
seeing if only to find out what happens after the first episode. I give it
three out of five stars. Long Term Prospects- This might last, but I’m honestly
not sure if it will. I say that for now, it could. I’ll see what happens later.
Where to Find- This is streaming on Peacock
Slingshot:
This is about a mission to Saturn’s moon Titan with issues going on in the
space movie. Is there any space movie that doesn’t have issues going on with
it? I know that there has to be some sort of conflict. There is no release
date of this yet.
Black Water Transit: In this movie,
lots of criminals and law enforcement meet in regards to a shipment of illegal
guns that a man is trying to get to his family’s safe haven. It was mostly
filmed a long time ago so hopefully it will finally see the light of day. It
doesn’t have a trailer. And, true to it being part of development hell, has no
release date.
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 Rumble Through the
Dark. That’s all that I can see of hers for now. We’ll see what else
happens later.
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 will also be in a reboot of Gossip
Girl. Yet another thing she is doing is Do, Re, & Mi, a TV show.
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.
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

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
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?
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 will be
returning for more of All Rise. She’s set to be in CSI: Vegas now.
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 on hiatus. It is pretty good in some cases.
CSI: Vegas: Status- Currently on hiatus.
Why I’ve seen it- I’m a fan of the CSI franchise so I wanted to watch this new
one as well. Noteworthiness- This is a continuation of the original CSI,
largely focusing on a new team, but also bringing back people from the original
team returning. Description- We return to characters from the original show
solving new mysteries and dealing with potential issues of old teammates.
Notable People- 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. Pros- I
felt that this was quite a good show and worth keeping up with. Cons- It can be
too mysterious for its own good and also could ruin what’s previously part of
the franchise. Note to Parents- Don’t let preteens watch this, but teens and
older can. Recommendation- This is good and worth watching. My Viewing Habits-
I plan to watch every episode about this to blog about it. Prediction- 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.
It is going to last 10 episodes this season so we’ll wait to see if there will
be more episodes and/or more seasons. Reception: great. Grade: B+.

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 Winning
Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. He’ll also be in Boston Strangler.
Antlers:
This is on DVD 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.
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. I still have not seen this yet.
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.
This is in theaters now. 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:
Trailer
link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJzNtZlxaJk
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.
Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers
Dynasty: This is out now. 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. It has a trailer now:
Teaser
link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYOlUZrHRT8
Thoughts
on trailer: This has an intentional retro feel to it that seems odd right now.
I don’t think that there’s enough basketball in the trailer, although this
isn’t the full one as far as I can tell. Also, is it just me or are they
putting nearly everything on HBO Max nowadays? I hope that the style format or
whatever they chose for this isn’t too weird as I don’t know if I’d like to
watch a show that looks like that the whole time. I don’t think that there’s
too much else to say about that right now. I hope that there is a trailer to
see at some point, although this might be it.
Boston
Strangler: This has an unknown release date. It has no trailer yet
either. But it does have a plot of a pair of women who broke the story of,
well, the Boston Strangler and report on this person. We’ll see if this is
anything like Big Sky. It wouldn’t be bad if it were more like how that show
started out and not what that show is like now.
Carmine Giovinazzo: He is now doing two
different projects right now. One of them is 892. The other is Un$uited.
Hopefully I’ll see more of what he’s doing in the future. It turns out that he
will also have a role in High Desert.
892:
This is about a marine who has struggles getting back into civilian life. It could
be out now. It doesn’t have a trailer just yet. It could be interesting,
but sounds like it could also be cliché with plenty of other existing projects
like this already out. I’m keeping this in the updates for now until I can
figure out more of what’s going on with it. I think that this is
out, but have no way of seeing this so I’m going to remove this from the
updates. It does have a score on imdb.
Un$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.
High Desert: This is set for release
sometime in 2022. It is about a former addict who becomes a PI after the
death of her mother. Sorry that this hadn’t gotten its own part of this blog
before. Now it finally does as I understand it now and so does imdb.
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 has
a release date of April 18, 2022. 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. He’ll also
be in The Resort and Landscape with Invisible Hand.
Dogs
in Space: This is a TV show. It is available now. 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.
First
episode link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4UqQc9Uz0U
Review:
Show Description- Dogs are sent into space to find a new home for humans to
live on. Behind the Scenes- This is a Netflix show. It stars William Jackson
Harper from The Electric Company and The Good Place. My Thoughts- This is
interesting and well done. It puts a lot of detail into world building and
character development. I will admit, though, that it can seem cliché and a bit
predictable in some places. Still, I give this four stars out of five. Long
Term Prospects- I have no idea if this will last or not. Where to Find- This is
a Netflix show, although the first episode is for free on YouTube as linked
above
Love
Life: This is about romance and it is a comedy. It’s also a TV show this is on
HBO Max for its streaming subscribers. William’s character has to be an
important one as he is the sole person on the poster for at least this season.
There is a trailer for this:
Trailer
link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVG5KarthPE
Thoughts
on trailer: Does anyone else find the background music or rhythm or whatever
you call it to be a bit annoying? Anyways, I think that this could have some
issues, although parts of it look more unique than it otherwise could be. I do
have season 2 episode 1 bookmarked for future use so we’ll see if I get to
watching it and reviewing the show at some point in time. I hope that this
isn’t too focused on sex instead of actual love.
The Resort: This relates to true crime
and a conspiracy to it relating to love. Unofficial sources says that this will
be on Peacock, but as of yet, that is unconfirmed by me. It has no release
date or trailer yet.
Landscape with Invisible Hand: This is
about teenagers who seek to save the world from aliens that control the
economy. Stupid white people. Wait, these are from outer space. It has no
release date yet or trailer. But it does sound interesting.
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 Sand Sea. 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. An eighth that he is in is Zero.
A ninth is The Lost Princess.
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:
Trailer
link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVvS_XdAIAw
Thoughts
on trailer: Wow, there is a whole lot going on in this trailer and yet not much
that I couldn’t get out of other things. I do wonder why they throw in so much
stuff in there and am unsure of what is in there that I’d care about. I guess
that I’m good without this in the end.
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
Sand Sea: 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,
Avengers: Infinity Wars, 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.
Zero:
While this doesn’t have a release date yet, it does have a release year of
2022. It does not have a trailer, but it does sound very interesting.
People have ten hours to find out why they have bombs attached to themselves.
It could be an interesting thriller.
The Lost Princess: This movie is about
a person who is transported to the past through a vision and then leaves to
find out about his past. This has no trailer yet, but is set for release
sometime in 2022.
Sofia
Milos: I’ll have to see what else she might do in the future. I look forward to
covering what all she is doing next. There’s nothing of hers worth covering in
this blog at this point in time from what I could tell. Thus, I won’t be
including much about her just yet.
Vanessa
Ferlito: She is currently set to be in Griselda. It is nice to finally
see her now mentioned in something else since she hadn’t done anything for
nearly a year now. So I guess we’ll see what becomes of this new project of
hers.
Griselda:
This has no release date mentioned yet. It also doesn’t yet have a
trailer. But it does have a plot: Griselda Blanco created a profitable cartel.
This would only be worth more of a story if this were true. Otherwise, it just
sounds like bare elements of Breaking Bad but with a female lead (although it
sounds very far from ripping that show off). Still, it can be hard sometimes to
watch shows about criminals as I don’t like seeing terrible characters on TV.
Roselyn Sánchez: She has a major
starring role in Fantasy Island. She is also starring in Gringa.
Another thing that she’s currently in is Armas De Mujer. Those are the
only things that I see of her right now.
Fantasy Island: This is a remake of a
show of the same name that aired a while back. It is a FOX show that is on
hiatus right now. It is a bit hard to summarize and I don’t think that I
care enough about it to watch it again in the future.
Review: Fantasy Island: Status- A FOX show, this is currently on
hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I tend to watch a new FOX show at least once
nowadays. Noteworthiness- This is a remake of a show of the same name and might
be set in the same universe as the new main character is said to be a
descendent of the original one. Description- A woman brings people to an island
with supernatural powers where they learn a life lesson under the guise of
living a fantasy of theirs. Notable People- Roselyn Sánchez,
from Without a Trace, among other things, is the main character of the show. Pros- It seems like a pretty decent show.
It is good in enough ways. Cons- It may not be as interesting as I would like.
A lot of this was confusing and didn’t make any sense to me. Some of this is
too strange. Note to Parents- This has enough questionable stuff in it that
probably isn’t good for kids, but some teens might be okay with it.
Recommendation- I’d pass, but more because I don’t have time for it than
anything. Prediction- I don’t know if this will last, although it might. I’d
say that it will for now, but we’ll see if it does or not. It is hard for me to
tell or make as much sense out of its ratings right now. Reception: somewhat
favorable. Grade: D+.
Gringa: This could instead be called Halfway
to Somewhere. It is a father and daughter coming of age comedy drama. I
don’t know much about it other than that it doesn’t have a release date
and it has no trailer yet either.
Armas De Mujer: This is a TV series
that sounds quite interesting. It is about a group of women who have to deal
with their husbands all being arrested for potentially being in the same
criminal organization. It has no release date yet or trailer.
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.
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. 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. I probably won’t
watch it again since someone was on it that I didn’t like at all to the point
of wanting to give the show up forever as a result. 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.
