The River: The Complete First Season - DVD Review

22 May 2012 9:27 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Although the trip down The River was cut short just as the series was getting good, the DVD release of the Complete First Season capture the magic of the eight episodes and features enough bonus material to please fans of the short-lived series. From Oren Peli (director of Paranormal Activity) and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, the series was shot in the "found footage" style of filming and a premise of a show within a show set on the mysterious and magical Amazon River. The series featured Bruce Greenwood, Joe Anderson, Leslie Hope, Eloise Mumford, Paul Blackthorne, Thomas Kretschmann, Daniel Zacapa, Shaun Parkes, Paulina Gaitan, Scott Michael Foster, Katie Featherston, and Lee Tergesen.

DVD Review: Only Season of ‘The River’ Hints at What Could Have Been

21 May 2012 9:59 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – I had some notable problems with ABC’s “The River,” saying in my review of the series premiere, “…while the show has effective moments of horror, they never quite build the way you want them to in a cohesive piece due to the creators feeling the need to get at least one major scare between every break.” Watching where the show went with the first season DVD, hitting stores this week, I stand by my criticisms (I have problems with every episode) but I kind of wish that the creators had been given time to iron out their kinks. The fact is that there simply isn’t enough programming on network TV that one could call daring and while I think “The River” was flawed it was undeniably unlike anything else in your DVR.

DVD Rating: 3.0/5.0

Blast Off #12: Examining Green ‘Arrow’ – The CW’s Latest Comic Book Hero Drama

19 May 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

The CW presented several new shows at its Upfront celebration in New York City this month. As fans of the CW’s previous Smallville series, starring Tom Welling and Justin Hartley, we were extremely looking forward to the first trailer for Arrow, based on the DC Comics’ character Green Arrow. The series stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, Colin Donnell as Tommy, and Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance.

In the 12th Team Focus Blast Off, BuzzFocus Community Manager Ernie Estrella and I discuss the first trailer for Arrow (you can see it here). We explore potential story arcs, secondary heroes and villains we’d like to see and potential politically influenced story arcs. We also dive into Arrow’s vast array of arrow weapons, ranging from flash bang arrows to boxing glove arrows.

Also appearing in the series are David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with »

First Trailer For DC’s Arrow

19 May 2012 2:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Herein you will find the first full length trailer for the latest DC adaptation, Arrow, based on their character The Green Arrow. It will be screened on the CW network in The Americas.

We reported on Stephen Amell (90210, Vampire Diaries) landing the lead role back in February, and he seems to be running with it. As you’ll gather from the trailer, it’s verrrrrrrrrrrrrry Batman Begin-y. Millionaire playboy goes out of town, grows a Kurt Russell-style beard, learns to be a badass, comes back to town, gains a super hero alter-ego, avenges his father, takes out goons. I’m surprised DC aren’t suing themselves.

Here’s the official synopsis:

A 27 year old reformed bad boy, who after having spent five years shipwrecked on a tiny, brutally dangerous island in the South China Sea, returns to town a different man. Or to be more specific, a tortured, thoughtful »

First Trailer for “Arrow”!

18 May 2012 7:56 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

CW has started the hype train for Arrow, its upcoming fall drama based on DC Comics’ Green Arrow. Today, they’ve released the first trailer for the show, which will air Wednesday nights at 8 Pm. Arrow is about the son of a billionaire who is found alive after five years on a deserted island. Before his brush with death he was a lot like the Green Hornet, brash and arrogant and a playboy that liked to spend money. Afterwards, he’s intent on avenging his father’s death and the men who have plagued Starling City. Ugh, why not just call it Star City like it should be?

The show stars Stephen Amell (Hung) as Oliver Queen, our hero, and a slew of familiar faces. There’s Paul Blackthorne (The River) as Detective Quentin Lance, Brian Markinson (Caprica) as a/the villain Adam Hunt, and David Ramsey (True Blood) as John Diggle, »

First Trailer for CW’s Arrow Starring Stephen Amell [Updated with New Sneak Preview]

18 May 2012 3:59 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

If you enjoyed the first clip from the CW's super-heroic series, Arrow, you're probably going to love the full trailer.  While the clip featured star Stephen Amell putting all of us men-folk to shame with his uber-athletic portrayal of Oliver Queen, the trailer does a better job at setting up the origin of the titular character, Green Arrow.  I was surprised and delighted when Paul Blackthorne (The Dresden Files) featured heavily in the trailer as a resident cop eager to hunt down the vigilante.  I also thought, lest my eyes deceive me, that I caught a brief cameo from Smallville star, Kristin Kreuk, but perhaps viewers can confirm/correct me in the comment section.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer [and sneak preview] for Arrow, coming to the small screen Wednesday evenings this fall on the CW.

New TV Season Breakdown: The CW

18 May 2012 4:52 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the fifth and final one announced. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on The CW.

With "Hart of Dixie" last season's sole surviving new show and "Gossip Girl" finishing up with a short final season this coming Fall, The CW is pushing hard on original content this season with five new shows ordered as opposed to the regular two or three. There's also a bunch of timeslot changes with "The Vampire Diaries" the sole show to have not changed its place on the network's schedule.

The additions have allowed the sub-35 skewering network to essentially have theme nights - prime-time soaps on Mondays, quirky medical dramas on Tuesdays, male-dominated genre action shows on Wednesdays, and female-oriented supernatural romancers on Thursdays.

The most notable change to the schedule »

When it came to showing advertisers the goods at their upfront, The CW offered up splashy, lengthy looks at "Arrow," "Beauty and the Beast," "Emily Owens M.D.," and intriguing midseason offerings "The Carrie Diaries" and "Cult." But for the general public? Just a single scene each from the pilots for "Arrow," "Beauty" and "Emily." Boo, CW! Boo!! Anyway, take a look at the very "Batman Begins" looking "Arrow" (Wednesdays at 8 p.m.) starring Stephen Ammell, Colin Donnell, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, Susanna Thompson and Paul Blackthorne: The very "Grey's Anatomy" looking "Emily Owens M.D." (Tuesdays at 9 p.m.) stars Meryl Streep's very »

Breaking News: Supernatural Changes Nights as The CW Announces Fall Schedule With Arrow and Beauty And The Beast

17 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

And we have clips! We tip our fedoras to The CW, the network with the highest our-kind-of-primetime-show count, second only to Syfy. Well done, The CW! And though they canceled one of our shows – sorry, The Secret Circle fans – they’ve brought in two more: The Arrow and Beauty and the Beast.

These new shows surround or maybe even caused a shift in scheduling for fall 2012. Supernatural fans especially, take note. The CW would like to take over our TVs on Wednesday, with DC Comics-based we’ve-been-waiting-so-long-for-this Arrow at 8/7c, followed by Supernatural at 9/8c. What a great pairing! And Not on a Friday, hooray! The CW, you are now granted our TVs on Wednesday nights.

Thursday nights will bring a return of the beloved The Vampire Diaries at 8/7c, paired with newbie Beauty and the Beast at 9/8c. Yes, yes, this also works for us, thank you! The »

Arrow: First Look at The CW's New Superhero Drama

Arrow: First Look at The CW's New Superhero Drama

The CW has been without a superhero show for a year, but all that's about to change when Arrow premieres in the fall.

Taking over Smallville's old spot as the lead-in for Supernatural, Arrow brings the Green Arrow character that also appeared in Smallville to a brand new show, one that's intended to be a darker exploration of superhero mythology.

Billionaire playboy Oliver Queen begins a new stage in his life after a terrifying shipwreck.  Missing and presumed dead for five years, he's finally discovered alive on a remote tropical island in the Pacific Ocean.  Oliver returns home to Starling City, where he is welcomed home by his mother, Moira, his sister, Thea, and his best friend, Tommy.  But his loved ones sense that Oliver was greatly changed by his experiences over the last five years.

Like a lot of superheroes, »

CW 2012-2013 Schedule: ‘Supernatural’ Moves to Wednesday – Paired With ‘Arrow’

17 May 2012 9:08 AM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

The CW announced several logical scheduling moves today as it had to make room for five new dramas. The biggest move we observed was the network pulling Supernatural out of Friday and moving it to Wednesday nights. It will no longer be pitted against Fringe and Grimm and will be paired with the Green Arrow-based drama, Arrow.

Arrow is going to star Stephen Amell as billionaire Oliver Queen, who was missing and presumed dead after a shipwreck, before resurfacing on a remote Pacific island. Upon his return to Starling City, and acclimation back to his world of philanthropy, Queen creates the vigilante persona of Arrow to restore his city to greatness. Also starring is Colin Donnell as best friend Tommy, Katie Cassidy as former girlfriend Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as chauffeur John Diggle, Willa Holland as sister Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as mother Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance. »

'Arrow' first look: Stephen Amell takes aim as the DC Comics character

17 May 2012 8:36 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Oliver Queen/Green Arrow was a prominent part of the last few seasons of "Smallville," which may have helped pave the way for a series with the character in the lead. But "Arrow" is a full reboot, not a "Smallville" spinoff.

The CW's new show, which will air on Wednesday nights in the fall, stars Stephen Amell ("Private Practice," "Hung") as Oliver Queen, the scion of a billionaire family who was presumed dead in a shipwreck. He's found five years later but returns to his Starling City home a changed man and adopts an alter ego, Arrow, to help the downtrodden and try to right the wrongs his family has done in the past.

And, since he's a billionaire and doesn't have any superpowers of his own, we're guessing that Oliver will have the means to make or acquire some pretty good gadgetry.

"Arrow" also stars Katie Cassidy ("Gossip Girl, »
