I don’t usually go for films that span more than about a year or two of time (too much plot crammed into too little time). That’s why most biopics are usually so lame. So when I came across Reaching for the Moon in he program of this year’s Tribeca Film Festival my hopes weren’t too high, but I was wrong.
I fell in love with this film and its lead character Elizabeth Bishop. Yes, the Elizabeth Bishop, who I had actually never heard of. Call me a philistine, but I must be the only queer out there who hadn’t heard of the Pulitzer Prize-winning lesbian poet. Watching the film, I had no idea that it was based on true events: I was just amazed by the fact that there was a beautifully shot, totally heartbreaking depiction »

"666 Park Avenue" was one of the biggest disappointments of the last TV season - both for viewers story-wise and for ABC ratings-wise. But fans of the show will finally have some closure when the network begins airing the remaining four episodes on Saturday, June 22nd.
Per TVLine the ill-fated spooker, which ABC pulled from the schedule following its December 2, 2012 broadcast, will reward loyal viewers with a finale on July 13. Speaking with the site recently, series star Rachael Taylor gave the final episode two very enthusiastic thumbs up, saying, “I love the ending. Everything gets completely flipped on its head, and it was very fun for me to play. My character is very different in the last episode. I’m really looking forward to people seeing the end, because shit gets crazy.”
Synopsis:
At the ominous address of 666 Park Avenue, anything you desire can be yours. Everyone has needs, desires, and ambition. »

The spinoff of "NCIS: Los Angeles" has put the final piece of its cast in place.
"Grey's Anatomy" and "24" veteran Kim Raver has joined the cast of the planted spinoff, which will air as an "NCIS: La" episode in April. She'll play Paris, the leader of the "Red" team of traveling NCIS agents who work cases across the country. Raver's character is described as brilliant, athletic and a bit of a loner.
Gillian Alexy ("Damages") and Kenneth Mitchell ("Jericho") have joined the spinoff cast as well. John Corbett and Edwin Hodge round out the new team, while Miguel Ferrer will split time between "NCIS: La" and the spinoff should it be picked up.
Raver finished a three-year run on "Grey's Anatomy" at the end of last season. She guest-starred on several episodes of "Revolution" earlier this season; her credits also include "Third Watch," "Lipstick Jungle" and "The Nine." »

With the news that Kate Winslet is very close to signing on to star in the film adaptation of Divergent (presumably, though nof officially, as cunning antagonist Jeanine Matthews), it’s only natural to start thinking about how else director Neil Burger (Limitless) should fill out the cast.
Veronica Roth’s 2011 Ya thriller often gets compared to The Hunger Games. And it’s true, both series feature brave, bad-ass heroines in a dystopian future and plenty of life-or-death action. Divergent’s Beatrice Prior, 16, must choose a faction to call home. Each faction is dedicated to virtues found within society: There »

It sounds like wedding bells are getting louder for Lindsay Price and fiancé Curtis Stone.

In case you feel like you don't have enough drama in your life, ABC is seeking to fill that void with Mistresses, an adaptation of the popular British series. The stateside cast includes Alyssa Milano and Lost's Yunjin Kim as part of a group of girlfriends whose love lives are active and sexy, but very complicated. I gave the pilot a watch to bring you my verdict on Mistresses and whether you should set your DVR to record this soapy new series. What it's about: Savannah (Milano), April (Rochelle Aytes), Josslyn (Jes Macallan), and Karen (Kim) are a tight-knit group of friends, and they're each in a different transition in their love lives. Married Savannah is trying to get pregnant, widowed April is trying to date again, therapist Karen is getting over the death of her lover, and Jes is single and loving it - and she intends to stay that way. »

Most of us know the story of Carrie Bradshaw, candid writer, shoe aficionado and hopeless romantic. "Sex and the City" introduced us to the style icon as a thirty-something singleton in Manhattan, but the HBO show was never too concerned with her past -- her family was mentioned in throwaway lines, and it wasn't until "SatC" creator Candace Bushnell published "The Carrie Diaries" in 2010 that fans got a true glimpse into what the author intended for the character, first introduced in 1997.
Now, The CW has adapted "The Carrie Diaries" into a prequel series, combining what we know of Carrie from the beloved HBO dramedy and Bushnell's books and blending it into a heady cocktail of '80s nostalgia, coming-of-age drama and a surprising amount of heart. Though discrepancies exist between HBO's version of Carrie, her literary self and the new CW precursor (played by AnnaSophia Robb), Bushnell hopes that when fans see "The Carrie Diaries, »
