"Flashpoint" Continues Its Shallow But Entertaining Run
17 May 2012 1:32 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
What separates a good crime procedural from a bad one lies entirely in the show’s ability to progress its characters within the margins of each week’s mystery. Some shows find a great balance, while others become little more than a cut and paste formula where the characters matter very little as we never learn much about them anyway.
Even with its decent amount of character development, Flashpoint falls just on the bad side of that balance, mainly because it reserves all development as a minor detail used to sandwich each episode. After a third season that really went full on with its non-procedural story elements (courtesy of a far too short arc with Victor Garber), the fourth season comes as a noticeable drop into formulaic doldrums with minimal attention paid to the actual characters.

Interview with John Benjamin Hickey
17 May 2012 11:37 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
If you’ve been keeping up with the extremely entertaining third season of Showtime’s comedy The Big C you know that Sean Tolke, the sometimes homeless, bi-polar brother to cancer patient Cathy (played by Laura Linney), has accidentally fallen into a new, lucrative occupation to help pay the bills – a phone sex operator. In lesser hands, the story could come off as a little dated (do people still have phone sex in this day of the internet?), but with Tony winner John Benjamin Hickey at the helm of Sean’s latest adventure, the story has been one of the show's strongest in the current season.
Hickey himself is at a high point in his acting career. After many accolades for stage work in productions like Love! Valour! Compassion! and Cabaret, last year the 48-year old actor won a Tony for his performance in Larry Kramer’s The Normal Heart. »

Trailers and Clips for a Ton of New Shows on NBC
14 May 2012 3:00 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
NBC has released a bunch of trailers and clips for a new collection of TV series that they have been developing. We've got stuff from 1600 Penn, Infamous, Save Me, Next Caller, Do No Harm, The New Normal, Guys With Kids, and Go On. It will be interesting to what shows make it and what shows end up on the chopping block. Check out the trailers and clips and let us know which ones look good to you!
1600 Penn:
“1600 Penn” — The Gilchrists are just the average American family dealing with all the everyday issues – like a grown kid who’s forced to move back home, children who are smarter than their teachers and a stepmom (Jenna Elfman, “Dharma and Greg”) desperately trying to win over the kids. They’re loving, fun and a little crazy. In other words, just like everybody else. With one exception: they live in a very special house. »

NBC's 2012-2013 Schedule: 'Community' Moves To Fridays, Plus Preview New Shows
13 May 2012 12:42 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
In advance of their official Upfronts presentation on Monday, NBC jumped the gun to be the first network to unveil their complete 2012-2013 schedule on Sunday.
The biggest story? "Community" is moving to Fridays, along with sophomore sitcom "Whitney," which will kick off that rather random new night of programming.
"Smash" is also being bumped -- all the way to midseason -- to make way for the premiere of "Revolution," a new thriller from J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke, which will air after "The Voice" on Mondays. And yes, that means "The Voice" will be back in the fall, giving it two cycles a year, as predicted.
NBC will also try their hand at airing comedies on Tuesday nights, with Matthew Perry's "Go On" and Ryan Murphy's "Th New Normal" getting paired together.
Also being saved for midseason are new sitcoms "Save Me," "1600 Penn" and "Next Caller," and new dramas "Do No Harm, »

First Look Images At Meagan Good In NBC's New Murder Mystery Series Pick-up "Infamous"
11 May 2012 3:55 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
Of all the new series/pilots ordered for next season, I'll say that this is one I'm really intrigued by - partly because I have absolutely no idea what to expect from it. It seemed like an out-of-the-box pick for NBC - one that I didn't see coming - and I'm definitely curious. But I'm looking forward to finally seeing something of it, by way of a trailer, clips, etc, soon. It's described as an "opulent soap" starring Meagan Good as detective Joanna Locasto, a female detective who returns undercover to the wealthy family she grew up in - as the maid's daughter - to solve the murder of the notorious heiress who was once her closest friend - celebutante Vivian Lawson. Previously titled Notorious, NBC ordered the series and renamed it Infamous, with Laz Alonso, Victor Garber, Tate Donovan, and Katherine Lanasa co-starring. Laz Alonso is slated to play. »

NBC has officially picked up its critically acclaimed comedy 30 Rock for a final season of 13 episodes.

Meanwhile, the network has given its third drama pickup to Do No Harm, a medical drama that stars Steven Pasquale of FX's Rescue Me.

'Argo' trailer: Ben Affleck stars in a CIA-Hollywood mashup

Just when you think you've pegged Ben Affleck down, he does something completely different. The latest example of this is in the trailer for his upcoming film "Argo."
The movie is based on a real-life event in which a team of CIA operatives are sent into Iran to free six hostages. They do so by...and no this is not a joke...pretending they're part of a film production. Affleck not only stars in but also directs the movie that's slated for a Oct. 12 release.
The picture also features Alan Arkin, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman and Victor Garber.

Ben Affleck new film trailer – Argo
8 May 2012 12:30 PM, PDT | Hollywoodnews.com | See recent Hollywoodnews.com news »
HollywoodNews.com: I haven’t read the true story that this film is based on (if you want to, here’s the Wired story). But the general idea seems like just the sort of great story that lends itself to a fun movie. And the film is filled to the gills with terrific character actors (John Goodman, Bryan Cranston, Victor Garber, Kyle Chandler, Tate Donovan, Phillip, Adrienne Barbeau, and my personal favorite, Zeljko Ivanek, etc).
And while I’m among those who didn’t care for The Town, I’m a big fan of Affleck’s Gone Baby Gone so he’s still batting a solid 0.500 so far. My only carp is with the trailer itself. It’s a 150-second spot that clearly divided into three acts. The first 45-seconds or so explains the time, setting, and political crisis that kicks the story into gear, while the middle 45-seconds goes »

There was a time not so very long ago when it appeared Ben Affleck would simply fade away to irrelevance as a string of poor decisions eroded his acting star power steadily away. And then it turned out he wasn't a half bad director. A pretty damn good one, actually, and now he's back in that chair once again with Argo.Based on true events, Warner Bros. Pictures' and Gk Films' dramatic thriller "Argo" chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis--the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades.

'Argo' Trailer Shows Off Ben Affleck's Latest
8 May 2012 11:19 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
In searching for a screen capture to use for the above image while skimming through this new trailer for Argo I came across the above moment. Referring to Argo as "from Ben Affleck the director The Town" was interesting to me. People know who Ben Affleck is and Affleck even stars in the film and is featured throughout the trailer, is the addition of "the director The Town" necessary and if so what does it add? Otherwise, this is a film I think we are all interested in seeing, if for no other reason than Affleck has shown to be a competent director and one I'd even argue did a much better job with Gone Baby Gone rather than The Town. As for Argo, it's based on true events, chronicling the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis--the truth of »

‘Argo’ Trailer: CIA Meets Hollywood in Ben Affleck’s Historical Thriller
8 May 2012 9:29 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Ben Affleck is hoping to go 3-for-3 on his directorial efforts with this fall’s “based on true events” historical CIA thriller, Argo – and judging by the official trailer, he appears to have pulled off that hat trick.
Argo features an admirable cast that is headed by Affleck, alongside people like Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), John Goodman (The Artist), Alan Arkin (Little Miss Sunshine), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), Clea DuVall (Girl, Interrupted), Victor Garber (Alias) and Adrienne Barbeau (Carnivàle) – all dressed and groomed to look like relics of the 1970s, with impeccable attention to detail on a par with a TV show like Mad Men.
Joshuah Berman’s article about the 1979 Iranian revolution from Wired Magazine is the basis for Chris Terrio’s Argo script, wherein six American members of the country’s U.S. embassy manage to seek refuge in the home of ...

On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage.
But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador. Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony »

Ben Affleck's 70s Set Hostage Thriller Argo Gets a Trailer
8 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Warner Bros. has released a great trailer for Ben Affleck's new film Argo. The movie is based on a true story told in a Wired magazine article by Joshuah Bearman, called How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans from Tehran. It tells the story of "how the CIA and the Canadian government teamed to rescue six U.S. diplomats who'd been taken hostage at the American embassy by a group of Iranians in 1979. The CIA's ruse involved the explanation that the six hostages were actually a Hollywood film crew scouting a movie titled "Argo," and using those fake identities, they were able to flee the country."
It looks like Affleck did a great job bringing this story to life, and I'm looking forward to seeing the film. It looks like it will be a fun yet intense political thriller.

First Trailer for Ben Affleck’s Argo
8 May 2012 8:17 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Wow. It’s done already? Or close enough that they were able to cut a trailer, anyway. Last I heard, they were just casting this thing, but apparently ever since he became a director, Ben Affleck has developed something of a Clint Eastwood style of filmmaking, because he sure got this thing done fast. Check out the first trailer for Affleck’s “Argo” (in which he also stars), due out later this year. Based on true events, Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Gk Films’ dramatic thriller “Argo” chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis–the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. Also starring Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, Kerry Bishé, Kyle Chandler, Rory Cochrane, Christopher Denham, Tate Donovan, Clea DuVall, Victor Garber, Zeljko Ivanek, Richard Kind, Scoot McNairy, Chris Messina, Michael Parks, and Taylor Schilling. »
