Person of Interest 1.23 'Firewall' Review

Person of Interest 1.23 'Firewall' Review
There’s a reason why so much of the show’s story is filtered through the eyes of surveillance devices—through the Machine—and why it’s worth talking about week in and week out as one of the characters of the show. This first season of Person of Interest has been driven almost completely by the omnipotent presence of technology and its many uses to be both a blessing and a bane to man’s existence. For the purposes of the series, it brought Reese and Finch together to help people, and now it has separated them in the season’s final moments as the Machine has finally fallen into the wrong hands.
You knew it wasn’t quite going to be business as usual for our team when the show opened up on Reese already being hunted down with the current Poi in tow. »

Episode Review: Person of Interest - 1.23: "Firewall"
18 May 2012 7:54 AM, PDT | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »
First season finales don’t come more edge-of-your-seat-awesome than this. And as usual, Person of Interest (TV) manages to tie together treads of supposition we’ve been wondering about all season, and leave us with even more questions in the end. Finch has always managed to stay three steps ahead of his past, but finally, someone from his past catches up with him. And now, more than ever, I’m beginning to think the Machine is sentient. It sees all, hears all, and now, it’s got to figure out a way to “save” its assets. Some shows stumble over the use of flashbacks, breaking the viewer out of the storyline. But for whatever reason, this show seems to thrive on taking us back and forth in time to give us important pieces of the puzzle we’ll later need during the case. Starting at the tipping point of the »

Carrie Preston talks 'Person of Interest,' teases new season of 'True Blood' -- Video
11 May 2012 4:40 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
[Spoiler Alert! If you haven't watched this week's episode of Person of Interest, stop reading now, or else we will enter your social security number into the Machine...]
Another week, another big reveal on Person of Interest. At the end of this week’s episode, “No Good Deed,” Reese (Jim Caviezel) traced Finch (Michael Emerson) back to what he thought was Finch’s home address. But when Reese got there, Finch’s fiancée opened the door. (Dun-dun-dun!) Yes, Finch used to be engaged, but his girlfriend thinks he died a few years ago in an accident. That means Reese isn’t the only one who lost a relationship because of his job.
But for longtime fans of Michael Emerson, the best surprise was that Carrie Preston, who’s »

First Footage from Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing in TV Report for The Avengers
1 May 2012 9:57 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Back in October, we heard the absolutely brilliant news that Joss Whedon, king among men, had not only been working on The Avengers, but had also scripted and directed a microbudgeted production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, filmed in his own home.
So far, so awesome.
The first snippets of footage from the film have now surfaced in a CBS TV report on The Avengers – due out in the Us on Friday, and currently in UK cinemas – which Whedon of course has also written and directed.
The cast is exceptional, featuring many of Whedon’s frequent collaborators from his own special Whedonverse, including Amy Acker (Angel), Alexis Denisof (Angel), Fran Kanz (Dollhouse), Sean Maher (Firefly), Ashley Johnson (Dollhouse), Tom Lenk (Buffy), Clark Gregg (The Avengers), and of course, the one and only, Nathan Fillion (Firefly).
As yet, Much Ado About Nothing doesn’t yet have a release date scheduled, »

First Bit of Footage From Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing
1 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Buried in a CBS news profile piece about The Avengers' writer/director Joss Whedon, we get our first tiny glimpse at what the Buffy creator has in store for his micro-budget adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Shot entirely at his Santa Monica home, Whedon has enlisted a cast of his regular accomplices including Fran Kranz, Clark Gregg, Nathan Fillion, Amy Acker, and more to take on The Bard's iconic characters.
The Much Ado About Nothing footage isn't much of a reveal, although it does confirmthe black-and-white color palette and shows us that although the location may have changed from Shakespeare's original work, the dialogue has not. The full video is worth a watch for those of you who aren't terribly familiar with Whedon's previous works, but for those just lookin' for a little Shakespeare action, the stuff you're looking for can be found at the end of the clip. »

First Footage from Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing
30 April 2012 6:20 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
While shooting "The Avengers," director Joss Whedon was also working on a secret independent film called "Much Ado About Nothing," based on the classic William Shakespeare play of the same name. Now that Whedon is out there promoting "The Avengers," he's also talking about his new low-budget movie, which was shot entirely in black and white in only twelve days at his house. And now, CBS has the first footage. Check it out below. "Much Ado About Nothing" is written and directed by Whedon, and stars Nathan Fillion, Clark Gregg, Sean Maher, Alexis Denisof, Fran Kranz, Amy Acker, Riki Lindhome, and Jillian Morgese. There's currently no distributor on board. Video: »
New Avengers TV Report Yields First Footage of Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing
30 April 2012 1:55 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
As we come within mere days of the North American premiere of The Avengers, the anticipated marketing A-bomb has officially detonated and is in the process of spewing tiny chunks of promotional material across the globe for all to see. We’ve got special edition cola cans, fancy micro-sites, and even pint-sized LARPing…and, of course, your standard behind-the-scenes TV specials. While this one, from CBS News, is mainly a rehash of stuff we already know/have seen before, it would still be worth watching, if only for the chance to have director/geek god Joss Whedon utterly disarm you with his affable wit, as he discusses his career to date. But here’s another reason to take a look: it features our first glimpse of Much Ado About Nothing, the self-financed, sub-independent Shakespeare adaptation Whedon shot entirely at his Santa Monica home over a period of 12 days just after The Avengers wrapped. »

First Footage From Joss Whedon's 'Much Ado About Nothing' Debuts; 'Cabin In The Woods' Goes Direct-to-Video In Australia & New Zealand
30 April 2012 8:35 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
On yesterday's "Sunday Morning" show on CBS, in a feature about "The Avengers" writer/director/super-geek Joss Whedon the first footage from "Much Ado About Nothing," his micro-budgeted Shakespeare adaptation that he shot in a two week window during post-production on "The Avengers," debuted. And it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect, the small scale antidote to his superhero romp, which is poised to be the summer's first bona fide blockbuster (and with good reason – it rules). But things aren't so happy everywhere in Whedonville, as his recent horror movie Rubik's Cube "Cabin In The Woods" is getting an inglorious debut in other parts of the world.
First, the "Much Ado About Nothing" footage – fast-forward to the six minute mark if you want to take a gander, although the whole video is pretty interesting, especially because you get some quotes from his wife Kai, who seems to be always alluded to but never seen. »

First clip from Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing
30 April 2012 6:21 AM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
CBS have debuted the first clip from Joss Whedon's adaptation of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, the mega-blockbuster that Joss Whedon took a break from to film the black-and-white, micro-budget The Avengers in 12 days. Wait, wrong way round...
The clip's at the end of the video, after several minutes of talking about The Avengers. But no-one's interested in that one, right? (By the way, that was sarcasm. Just making that clear, so no fanboys instinctively Hulk-smash the comments.)
Following on from his brilliant performance in Dollhouse and his brilliant performance in The Cabin in the Woods, Joss Whedon has cast Fran Kranz again, in the role of Claudio. Newcomer Jillian Morgese plays Hero, and Beatrice and Benedick are played by Fred and Wesley Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof.
The Whedon alums Nathan Fillion, Clark Gregg, Reed Diamond, Sean Maher, and Tom Lenk are also in the cast, »
Happy Shakespeare Day: Five Big-Screen Bard Gems
23 April 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
On this day way back in 1564, William Shakespeare was born... or not, because apparently his exact birth date isn’t known. But today's the day we celebrate the man!.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Bard, here’s the briefest of introductions: Ol’ Will gave us a lot of pretty poetry as well as some fine plays that are the inspiration for countless TV and movie adaptations. If you’re like me, you may have supplemented your high school English class reading assignments with a few of those filmed adaptations (notice I wrote “supplemented” and not “replaced.” I never did that).
So to celebrate the anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth (and death, which was definitely on April 23rd), here are my five favorite films based on or inspired by works of the Bard.
1. “West Side Story” (1961)
One of the greatest movie musicals ever made, “Story” placed the “Romeo and Juliet »

Spoilers: Is Patrick Jane Hitting Bottom on The Mentalist? Plus: Community, Vampire Diaries & Person of Interest
The Mentalist | What's this about Patrick Jane shooting someone? It's already been revealed that in the May 17th season finale, "The Crimson Hat," Jane "shoots one of his own," but costar Owain Yeoman has let a few more important details slip. He tells TVLine that the shooting promises to be “a really, really big deal for us,” and the episode is sure to be “our most action-packed finale to date.”
Luckily for Jane, a new character, a Vegas cocktail waitress played by Emmanuelle Chriqui, is rumored to come to his rescue. According to TVGuide, Loralei will appear in the season finale and also five episodes next season as Jane's new love interest. Creator Bruno Heller reveals to TVGuide, "It's certainly not a fling and it's not a spur-of-the-moment booty call or anything like that. »

Angel Amy Acker is a Person of Interest
19 April 2012 5:24 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
One of Joss Whedon’s go-to girls is heading to CBS’s Person of Interest for a very important role. Amy Acker (Angel, Dollhouse) will be the last “person of interest” for the freshman show’s first season. That’s a distinction I would be proud to have. Person of Interest has proved itself a capable show despite its shaky beginnings. It has come a long way and I’m excited to see where it goes with its first season finale. Its final string of episodes is set to begin airing next week, leading up to the May 17th finale. I couldn’t be more excited about the direction of this series right now.
As reported by TV Guide, Acker will be playing an attractive (typical) psychologist who caters to the rich and powerful. That sounds to me like the perfect type of person to be involved in a violent crime. »

Movie Reviews: “Cabin In The Woods”

Cabin in the Woods
Release Date: April 13th, 2012
Let me put a disclaimer at the beginning of this review. I’m not a fan of what passes as horror these days. I haven’t seen any of the Saw films and have no desire to, I haven’t kept up with Paranormal Activity since the first one (I’m talking about The Blair Witch Project), and I have stayed at many a hostel without any incident. Ever since I was a kid, however, I’ve loved the Universal monster movies, I barely made it through The Exorcist unscathed when I saw it way too young, and I still find The Shining absolutely terrifying. I guess I just don’t understand the desire to see the uncomfortable/disgusting torture porn that accounts for most of today’s horror. Luckily, it turns out that Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard – the creative geniuses »
