Fierce disciplinarians fill out tonight's TV schedule -- Steven Seagal, Launch My Line's Dan and Dean Caten, and actual psychiatrists all make appearances. It should be a pretty intense lineup if all goes according to plan, though Seagal would likely protest that the Catens do not possess the inner harmony of true archers. The Catens would rightfully counter that Seagal runs funny. »

Camaraderie is king on the Deadliest Catch trawlers. Conversation, however, is less important
On the inky waves of the Bering Sea, a rare breed of man risks beard and bank balance in pursuit of the ocean's "ultimate" booty: crabs. This is the premise of Deadliest Catch (Discovery), a series that has been filming thickset Americans tripping over commercial fishing equipment since 2005. But, like its inferior scions (Ice Road Truckers, Ax Men et al), Deadliest Catch is really about reticence. Here, every shrug is an ode to a life spent avoiding conversation in waterproof dungarees.
What little dialogue there is appears to have been helicoptered in from an 80s action film. "Ya godda pick ya poison," mumbles deckhand Scott. "It's oudda ma hands," grunts greenhorn Shea. "Let's get tha hell oudda here," hisses skipper Sig through teeth like fish fingers. To immerse oneself in this symphony is to know tha true meanin' of pain. »

Opens: July 2nd 2010
Cast: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Summary: A live-action film based on the Nickelodeon animated TV series. In a fantastic world where civilisation exists as four great empires, a reluctant young child sets out on a perilous journey to restore balance to a world torn apart by war.
Analysis: Its been quite the decade for M. Night Shyamalan who started it as a household name with labels of a moodern-day Hitchcock thanks to the likes of "The Sixth Sense" and "Signs". Today he's considered more of a one-trick pony and in some cases a punchline due to rampant stories of egomania run wild and a series of much derided onscreen flops like "Lady in the Water" and "The Happening".
Thus 'Airbender' marks a potential return to form for the helmer. An adaptation of the hit cartoon series »

By Nick Allen
In Die Hard, a lone cop from New York killed a group of terrorists and saved the lives of hundreds. In Jingle All The Way, a regular dad (Schwarzenegger) learned to fly, and at the same time became a true hero to his son, (who was played by Jake Lloyd!)
Christmastime is the peak season for the miracle business. Here’s some events I’d like to see happen this Friday. If they don’t happen, well, either way I should have enough money to buy that Weezer snuggie I’ve always wanted.
- Reserve Deputy Sheriff Steven Seagal (and On Deadly Ground actor and auteur) arrests FBI’s most wanted, James “Whitey” Bulger, when Seagal’s “police instinct” leads him to a Krispy Kreme. Seagal tazes him first, and then the Michigan native yells in a Bayou tone, “You’re goin’ to tha slamma for a lawwnng time, »

Many people think that the idea behind making Robert Rodriguez's upcoming Machete came from its inclusion as a faux-trailer in the Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino double feature Grindhouse. However, Danny Trejo told ComingSoon that in fact the movie evolved from many years of planning.
Everybody thinks that Machete came out of a trailer, but it didn't. Robert told me he wanted to do this movie called Machete when we were doing Desperado and that if you look at the character in Machete, he kind of molded this character Machete ... Machete kicks a**. [laughs] It is a culmination of Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico ... I think there's even a little bit of From Dusk Till Dawn in there.
I think it's going to be one of his best. I'm not just saying that 'cause I'm the lead in it, but it's just a great movie. I think everybody's going to »

Recently LatinoReview got to visit the set of "Predators," which actor Danny Trejo is in and spoke to the site about his first lead role in "Machete," the faux trailer from "Grindhouse." The film is being co-directed by Robert Rodriguez with protege Ethan Maniquis.
The film follows the highly skilled Federale Machete who is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he's about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he's been set up. He barely survives the sniper's bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend (Marin), who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence.
Here is what he had to say about his upcoming film "Machete":
Robert put together such a great cast. What’s it like working with Robert De Niro, and then Steven Seagal, »

The other day I got to talk with Danny Trejo on the set of Predators along with a number of other online journalists. While we are embargoed from talking about Predators, we’re allowed to cover other projects.
As most of you know, Danny recently shot Machete with director Robert Rodriguez. The film is based on the trailer that was featured in Grindhouse and it’s loaded with an all star cast like Robert De Niro, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Don Johnson, and Rose McGowan.
So when we talked to him about Machete, he talked about what it was like to work with such an all star cast and he confirmed the rumors that it might be getting released this April. Also, when we asked him if Machete was a one off or did he think there could be sequels, Trejo replied, “we want Machete, Machete Kills, »

Ever since directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez released their experimental tribute to exploitation films entitled, Grindhouse in 2007, which featured "fake trailers," fans have been desperately waiting for a full-length version of Rodriguez's Machete trailer. The trailer starred frequent Rodriguez collaborator Danny Trejo in the title role as a Federale from Mexico who gets hired to do hatchet jobs in the U.S. Well, fans can now stop waiting as Rodriguez and Trejo began shooting the film, simply entitled Machete, earlier this year and are currently in post-production on the project. The movie features an extremely intriguing and talented cast that in addition to Trejo includes, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Jessica Alba, Rose McGowan, Robert De Niro, Steven Segal, Jeff Fahey, Don Johnson and Tom Savini. We recently had the opportunity to speak to both Robert Rodriguez and Danny Trejo visiting Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas to »

He used to co-head Icm's motion picture lit department until 2008 when Nicole Clemens was put in sole charge. The agency is working to "transition" his clients Len Wiseman, Stephen Moyer, Steven Seagal and Ben Barnes, which means Icm is hoping to keep all of them even though he'll be gone. Word is Nick Reed will try to become a producer. »

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" might be one of the most overused mantras you can find, but sometimes you wonder whether that is truly all there is to it, particularly when it comes to the Korean mainstream's peculiar relationship with American TV series - in itself a sort of by-product of their approach towards Hollywood blockbusters. No, this is not going to be a diatribe on the cultural imperialism of the good old Californian behemoth and its small screen brethren, since copious amounts of American TV on your screen is pretty much a foregone conclusion by now, whether you live in Stockholm, Yokohama or Bishkek. A discussion on how different countries and cultures favor different genres over others would also be pretty intriguing (such as the Koreans' age-old indifference towards anything sci-fi, as for instance I don't believe the pajama-wearing shenanigans of one Jean Luc Picard ever made »

Director: Jay Roach
Summary: A renowned publisher encourages his friends to invite the most pathetic guests possible for their weekly dinner party. Just as they find the most pathetic man yet, the host is injured and ends up trapped with the man all night long.
Analysis: A remake of director Francis Veber's 1998 César award-winning "Le Diner des cons", 'Schmucks' is one of the highest profile comedies of next year with one of the strongest casts for the genre in recent memory. It also marks the return of "Austin Powers" and "Meet the Parents" helmer Jay Roach who has produced several films in recent years but hasn't directed since 2004's "Meet the Fockers".

I've already told you about the new show on A&E Steven Seagal Lawman, and now I've got some goodies for you. So far, I really like the show (level of surprise at this fact will remain unindicated) and according to A&E's promo, Howard Stern likes it as well. I'll leave it to you to decide why they would want to make sure I know that, but I suppose it's a fact that exists in the world. If you haven't caught the show yet, I really recommend you give it a whirl. It's quite an interesting spin on reality police enforcement, and judging by the numbers from the show's premiere, there is a lot of interest. And, because I'm all about helping you, you can set your Tivo to the show right here. »

I have high hopes of watching Deadwood in its entirety on DVD over Christmas, but two trailers have re-piqued my Timothy Olyphant obsession a bit ahead of schedule. Apple has released the first trailer for The Crazies, which is both a reminder that cell phones in horror movies never, ever work and the second-freakiest movie trailer to feature a deadly car wash in 2009. Press play below. And! Cinema Blend has the official trailer for Olyphant's upcoming FX series. It used to be called Lawman, but now that Steven Seagal is a lawman, it's called Justified instead. Olyphant plays U.S. »
