Parker - Blu-ray Review
3 hours ago | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
While Parker has some problems, Jason Statham and director Taylor Hackford manage to capture the gritty violence of Donald E. Westlake's criminal pulp character, and his strict criminal code. Based on Westlake's 19th Parker novel Flashfire (written under the name Richard Stark), the film features a screenplay by John J. McLaughlin (Hitchcock and Black Swan) and stars Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, Wendell Pierce, Clifton Collins Jr., Bobby Cannavale, Patti LuPone, Emma Booth, and Nick Nolte. The film opens with a great action sequence where Parker (Statham) and his partners, Melander (Chiklis), Carlson (Pierce), Ross (Collins Jr.) and Hardwicke (Hauptman), rob a state fair. When committing a robbery, Parker has one rule - do what he says or »

CSI: NY, Vegas, Golden Boy and Rules of Engagement Canceled by CBS
10 May 2013 4:12 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Case closed. CSI: NY has been canceled by CBS after nine seasons. The cancellation of the long-running procedural leaves the original CSI as the franchise's only series left on the air; the network canceled CSI: Miami last season. Also axed? Freshman dramas Vegas, which starred Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis, and Golden Boy. Plus, David Spade's sitcom Rules of Engagement was canceled after seven seasons as well. The season nine finale of CSI: NY, which was led by Gary Sinise, brought in 9.39 million viewers when it aired in February. While Vegas brought in an average of 10 million viewers, its 18-49 demo rating was pretty low (0.9) and Golden Boy, which comes from Arrow's Greg »

"Vegas" has been canceled.
CBS decided not to renew the freshman series for a Season 2. The network's decision to cancel "Vegas" comes as no surprise. The series, which stars big name actors Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis, has had disappointing ratings by CBS' standards.
In February, Chiklis tried to pacify fans' fears about "Vegas" being canceled:
.@johnleighty1 No! #Vegas is a powerful show with a huge audience that will continue to grow over time. Thanks for watching! #QualityIsKing
— Michael Chiklis (@MichaelChiklis) February 20, 2013
But the audience hasn't grown. "Vegas" debuted in September with a 2.5 rating in the key 18-49 demographic and 14.85 million viewers total, but the numbers have decreased ever since. In March, CBS moved "Vegas" to the deathly Friday timeslot and the ratings have fallen even further.
CBS also canceled "CSI: NY," "Made In Jersey" and "Partners" in its 2012-2013 season.

As expected, CBS decided to make this year the last for CSI: New York, the third spinoff of the CSI mothership that stars Gary Sinise. The drama only averaged a 1.9 rating/6 share in adults 18-49 this season, and 11.27 million viewers.
CBS also shot down a second year of Vegas, the period drama starring Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis about the mob-infested Sin City, and Golden Boy, a drama about the youngest police commissioner who …. eh, who cares?

New On Blu-Ray/DVD: Pawn (2013)
5 May 2013 10:11 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
So a cop walks into an all night diner…No, this isn’t the beginning of a tired joke, this is how the new direct-to-video crime thriller “Pawn” kicks off. Said cop, played by Forest Whitaker, walks smack into the middle of an armed robbery. From this simple set up spools out a twisted web of story threads, layered narrative, and constantly shifting points of view. Though the film starts off strong—not great, but solid—it comes off the rails not far down the line. “Pawn” is one of those movies where you’ve heard of almost everyone in the cast, but never even heard mention of the film. Beyond Whitaker, the credits include Michael Chiklis (“The Shield”), Ray Liotta (“Goodfellas”), Common (“Hell on Wheels”), and actors from “Twilight,” “Gossip Girl,” and many more. Still, despite all the familiar faces, it never adds up to much. One of the »

Joss Whedon talks 'S.H.I.E.L.D' pilot name change, blames Michael Chiklis
25 April 2013 2:58 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Perhaps one of the most buzzed-about pilots angling for a fall pick-up this season is Joss Whedon's project at ABC about the agents of Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D., which underwent a name change in recent weeks.
Whedon spoke with TVLine about the change of title while at the "Iron Man 3" premiere on Wednesday (April 24), revealing why the show went from the simple "S.H.I.E.L.D." to its current title, "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"I think it had to do with legal things. Ask Michael Chiklis, because I think it's his fault," Whedon joked, referring to the similarly named FX series.
Whedon also touched on the idea of "Avengers"/"S.H.I.E.L.D" crossovers, saying, "What we're trying to do is open the door for that -- but that's not the door to the main room. The big house is that 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' has to work on its own. »

With less than three weeks to go until ABC unveils its 2013-14 TV line-up at its May 14 Upfront presentation, questions still surround Joss Whedon‘s pilot about the agents of Marvel’s S.H.I.E.L.D. — which internally at the network is currently dubbed Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Question No. 1: Why the ongoing name change? “I think it had to do with legal things,” Whedon told TVLine at Wednesday night’s Iron Man 3 premiere event in Los Angeles. Alluding to a similarly named series that put FX on the map, he quipped: “Ask Michael Chiklis, because »

Interview With Sean Faris On Pawn
24 April 2013 8:32 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Sean Faris, the actor best known for his roles in Never Back Down and Yours, Mine and Ours, is part of the all-star cast of Pawn, a story about a robbery gone wrong in a small-town diner. Faris plays Nick, a young man just released from prison who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time as the robbery unfolds.
I recently had the opportunity to speak with Faris about the film. We talked about what drew him to the role, the experience of working with such a phenomenal cast, and much more.
Check out the full interview below.

Review: Pawn
24 April 2013 10:08 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
These days, budgets can be pared down thanks to digital photography, letting producers focus more on cast and story, which often means we get some interesting takes on the standard genres. For example, a bungled robbery has been done time and again. But in the newly released Pawn, out today from Anchor Bay, we get an interesting set of characters.
A small group of would-be thieves hit a diner and are frustrated by discovering a dummy safe and decide to wait. Bit by bit, we learn more about the characters as the hours tick down to midnight when the time-locked safe, containing the diner’s cash, will open. We’re given some interesting narrative structure added by superb performances by a familiar cast led by Michael Chiklis. Chiklis is “The Brit”, who leads the gang and largely interacts with the diner’s owner
(Stephen Lang). They banter, the tension rises »

Sean Faris Talks Pawn, on Blu-ray this week
When the robbery of a quaint diner goes sour, viewers are taken on an intense and twisty thrill ride in the indie Pawn, currently available on Blu-ray and DVD, which features an all-star cast including Ray Liotta, Forest Whitaker, Michael Chiklis, Jessica Szohr, Stephen Lang, and Nikki Reed. At the heart of this story is Nick, portrayed convincingly by Sean Faris, a young man just released from prison, who is in the wrong place at the wrong time as the robbery unfolds. I recently had the chance to speak with this talented actor over the phone, to discuss his role in director David A. Armstrong's thriller. Here's what he had to say.

Sean Faris Loves A Challenge
23 April 2013 11:42 AM, PDT | Entertainment Tonight | See recent Entertainment Tonight news »
Pawn -- starring Michael Chiklis, Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta and Sean Faris -- opens with a seemingly innocent scenario: a cop makes his standard, mid-shift diner stop to grab some grub. But that's when anything resembling normalcy, both on-screen and in the script, evaporates as a series of double crosses and hidden agendas come to light, making the new-to-dvd thriller a nifty little surprise.
ETonline caught up with Faris to talk about his role as reformed (?) convict Nick in the movie, and how he's been adjusting to the mystery surrounding his new Pretty Little Liars character, Detective Holbrook!
ETonline: This script is full of twists and turns. What was your reaction to first reading it?
Sean Faris: It took me about 15 minutes to realize that what I was reading wasn't exactly how things were playing out. The writer did a great job of taking you down a path and making you think this is where the story »
