USA has given the go-ahead for a second season of "White Collar."
The hour-long drama's creator Jeff Eastin first broke the news on Twitter.
The series, which posted 5.6 million viewers for its winter finale, centers on Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer), a con man who escapes prison to eventually be caught by FBI agent Peter
Burke (Tim DeKay) and work with him to catch other criminals.
--"Lost" may be returning on ABC on February 2, but DirecTV subscribers can catch six series specials, airing on consecutive Saturdays on Channel 101, beginning Saturday, Dec. 26.
The programs, derived from the season recap specials that originally aired on
ABC, will include elements not seen before on TV such as DVD extras,
behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes and music videos.
This marks the first promotional partnership between ABC and the 101, which
has been airing first run episodes of "Friday Night Lights" via a deal with NBC.

My ten years as a TV critic by Kathryn Flett | Feature

»
For 10 years, Kathryn Flett held her dream job: watching the box… and being paid for it, too. Now she has written her last dispatch from the sofa. Here she presses the rewind button…
I didn't plan it this way, honest, but the very last word of the final sentence of the review that turned out to be my last as the Observer's TV critic was "Cowell", and as he currently occupies a metaphorical throne at the centre of primetime TV (though technically, of course, Simon is always on the far right of the screen, next to Cheryl) it feels as though the c-word is a fitting pay-off after frittering away 10 years of my life in front of the telly.
But indulge me while I rewind to the summer of 1999, not only a previous century and a technological aeon ago (when I used to watch the bulk of TV programmes on Vcr,

Lost — Mikhail Mystery To Be Solved

Remember Mikhail Bakunin? I'm sure you do. He was the one-eyed Other who simply wouldn't die. That is, of course, until he blew himself up with a grenade, blowing a hole in the side of the Looking Glass and drowning Charlie Pace, though blowing himself to bits in the process.
We never really find out why the character, dubbed by fans as "Patchy," came to wear that defining patch. In fact, all we really know about his missing eye is that he's got some massive scarring over his right eye, but that's all. We don't know whether it was ripped out by the smoke monster or jabbed out by a billiards stick.
Well, for those of you who have been losing sleep over the possibility that this mystery will never be solved, you can rest easy now. You have Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly to thank for this bit of news.

Lr's The Blu Room: Lost Season 5 Blu-Ray

Lost Season 5 (Blu-Ray)Walt Disney Home ENTERTAINMENT2009/Not Rated/ 731 minsNow Available – List Price $79.98Lost is a television series that I came to know as a latecomer, catching the occasional episode here and there before finally becoming a (somewhat) consistant follower by season three. It initially felt to me as if the show's creators had a decent idea, but were unsure just where to take it. The series had some compelling episodes, but just when you felt the mythology was expanding in a fresh direction there would be stories that were undeniably designed as filler. That changed when ABC and the producers announced towards the end of season three that the show would continue for an additional three years and reach a definitive conclusion by it's sixth season. It gave them focus and a plan to craft stories that would put all the pieces of the saga into their proper places.

'Kick-Ass' teasers (Nicolas Cage in a Bat-suit!) totally kick ass

He is not Superman, or Batman, or Spider-Man, but take it from this comic book loving geek: Kick-Ass is one of the great super-heroes in contemporary superhero fiction. Created by writer Mark Millar (Wanted) and legendary artist John Romita Jr. (son of the even more legendary artist, famed for Spider-Man), Kick-Ass is a hyper-violent, extremely funny meditation on the “What if somebody really tried to be a superhero?” question, as well as a barbed examination of current superhero-saturated pop culture. You get a strong hint of that in the latest teaser posters now hitting the Web for Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn’s movie adaptation,

With every primetime series on hiatus until 2010, it's time to take a look back.
When will your favorite show return? Consult with the TV Fanatic television calendar now.
Until then, our staff will gather occasionally and report on the status of various sitcoms and dramas. First up: The Vampire Diaries.
Best character: Damon Salvatore. He might win best character on television, period. Who knew that Ian Somerhalder - whose character of Boone on Lost wasn't exactly known for his humor or intensity - had this in him?
Damon is a vampire hybrid. He's scary at times, vulnerable at others. But he's always entertaining and provides the show with both snarky one-liners and gory attacks on the residents of Mystic Falls. Let's see Edward Cullen try either of those!
Worst character: Matt Donovan. When it comes to dramatic television, nice guys absolutely finish last. He's understanding when Elena dumps him, he's

Review: Avatar

Avatar is a film that’s been on just about every movie geek’s radar for what seems like an eternity. I have to admit, my level of excitement has been somewhat of a roller coaster as the various marketing has come and gone. Before they showed a single frame of footage, I couldn’t wait to see what James Cameron had up his sleeve after Titanic, which was the last feature film that he directed before Avatar. When roughly 20 minutes of footage were screened at Comic Con, I eagerly read everything I could about it, still waiting for my first glimpse of footage. Then, the first teaser came out. Sure, it looked cool, but did it look like the mind-blowing masterpiece that the hype would lead you to believe? Not so much. It looked more like a Final Fantasy cut-scene. Granted, it still looked pretty awesome, just not anything new or game-changing.

Watch This: 70-Minute Video Review of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

Chances are you probably didn't like Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace. You might be a Star Wars fan, or at least a fan of the original trilogy. After waiting in line for hours, days, weeks, you may have even written a mini 200-400 word review on an internet message board somewhere. If you were a working movie critic, you might have even written a 1,000-2,000 word review of the film for some newspaper or magazine. All of this exists in the realm of possibility...but what about a 70-minute video review?
Some guy named Mike from Milwaukee, Wi put together a 70-minute video review discussing the many reasons why the movie was horrible. And this isn't your usual fanboy rant, this is an epic, well-edited well-constructed piece of geek film criticism. In fact, the way I learned about the video was from Lost co-creator and Star Trek producer Damon Lindelof,

The final "Lost" poster which is part of "The Lost Underground Art Project" was unveiled on Tuesday, December 15 and went online the next day. Unlike the other fifteen that were debuted in prior, this new one shows a large portion of the sci-fi's cast apart from some key objects like the bunker's lid, the crashed Oceanic plane and the Black Rock ship.
ABC had commissioned a series of posters to be made out in honor of the final "Lost" season. The latest art is that by Tyler Stout who often creates tour posters for indie rock band Menomena. According to Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse who attended the unveiling show, there are two clues about season 6 inside the poster.
All the 16 posters are limited edition and are sold online. Apart from Stout's, the other posters have been sold out within a short time. Stout's meanwhile, is yet to go on sale,

Lost Poster Purports to Reveal Season Six Secrets

Lost season six spoilers are harder to come by than Las Vegas cocktail waitress that did not sleep with Tiger Woods.
Therefore, you can imagine our excitement when producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse pointed fans to a newly-released poster that's part of the The Lost Underground Art Project (located online at damoncarltonandapolarbear.com).
According to Cuse, "you should look in there and there will be a couple of clues to the final season that are embedded in that poster. It will make a lot of sense once you've actually seen a few episodes of the show."
Adds Lindelof: "Look at the poster and think of the things you've seen on the show, and then whatever else is left, that's a clue for Season 6."
We wish it were that easy. Take a look for yourself:
We have no idea if these are the "clues" the producers are hinting at, but

Lost Gets a 3-Hour Series Finale

As the premiere of ABC’s hit mystery/drama Lost draws ever closer, more and more promos for it have been popping up all over the place (the Spanish “chessboard” one was fantastic). But to the annoyance of many people, the promos don’t feature a lick of new footage… none… nada… zip! Why’s that? Well, I imagine it’s to keep everyone in suspense as much as possible and to keep them guessing as to what the premiere of the sixth and final season will be like.
It’s a good strategy, in my eyes.
We’ve already learned that the season 6 premiere will be a 3-hour event consisting of one recap episode to get all the major events of the show fresh in our minds, and then we’ll be hit with the all-important 2-hour premiere. So that’s the premiere sorted out – but what of the series finale,

Prepare yourself, the sixth and final season of Lost is approaching. Obviously, executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have been very tight-lipped about the fate of the Losties after the explosion at the hatch, but they did find time to tease just a few tidbits at Tuesday night's unveiling of the 16th and final poster in the damoncarltonandapolarbear.com collection. (Said poster holds a few clues itself, but we're still working on that.) In the meantime, Lindelof and Cuse tell TVGuide.com which is their favorite poster, how they feel heading into the final season and what fans should expect when the show premieres on Feb. 2 (9/8c on ABC).
