TV Review: Confident Veterans Elevate ABC’s ‘Rookie Blue’
6 hours ago | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Can it still be called “Rookie Blue” in its fourth season? Should they change it to “Experienced Blue”? The irony of the fourth season premiere of ABC’s strong Summer hit, a Canadian import like “Flashpoint” and “Motive,” is that the reason it works is because the cast seems so comfortable in these roles. They’re far more entertaining, likable, and believable than a lot of modern cop shows and I think it’s the people, not the situations, that has made “Rookie Blue” a hit.
Television Rating: 3.0/5.0
At the end of season three, Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym) and Nick Collins (Peter Mooney) headed off on a long undercover job while the relationship between Andy and Sam (Ben Bass) seems to be over. The premiere focuses not only on Andy and Nick’s drug-ring infiltration but the idea that these characters are moving on, growing up, becoming anything but rookies. »

'The Killing' Season 3's Hugh Dillon 'wouldn't be surprised' by 'Flashpoint' sequels
20 May 2013 12:49 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Hugh Dillon is starting another television gig, but he'd be happy to revisit his last one.
The Canadian actor-musician plays a prison guard who matches wits with a death row inmate (Peter Sarsgaard) when AMC's "The Killing" returns for a third season Sunday, June 2. Dillon's trademark intensity also remains on view in his role as Sgt. Ed Lane in Ion repeats of the elite-police-unit drama "Flashpoint," which has finished its five-season run ... but he hopes that show hasn't seen its absolute end.
"It was one of those great events in life," Dillon tells Zap2it about his "Flashpoint" tenure. "Just yesterday, I was talking to Sergio Di Zio, who played Spike on the show. It's very much like family. Also, I learned technical things there that I could bring to 'The Killing,' things you aren't even aware you've learned that you just bring to the next project."

TV Review: ABC Gives Canadian ‘Motive’ to Mystery Fans
20 May 2013 12:24 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – I know — Another mystery show, right? When do we grow tired of mystery after mystery? Other cultures have to be amazed at our obsession with murder and the people who solve crimes. While I feel no genre is more glutted with filler than this one, ABC’s “Motive,” an import from Canada a la “Rookie Blue” and “Flashpoint,” isn’t half bad. It has a strong cast and decent mystery plotting. My exhaustion with shows like this hurts the program overall but if you’re into mystery shows, you could do a lot worse.
Television Rating: 3.0/5.0
Daniel Cerone, the executive producer of “Dexter” and “The Mentalist,” delivers “Motive,” a show built around a nice hook that keeps viewers engaged through the episode. In the very first scenes, you see a person labeled victim and one labeled killer. In the two episodes available for press, how these two people would »

'Rookie Blue' producer salutes 'Flashpoint' as a 'game-changer'
30 April 2013 1:09 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Rookie Blue" soon makes its return, but another Canadian-made police show that has had success in the U.S. recently ended.
And both share a "parent."
Tassie Cameron was a co-executive producer and writer of "Flashpoint" -- which included Amy Jo Johnson in its cast, and had American runs on CBS and Ion -- before becoming a creator and executive producer of the Missy Peregrym-starring "Rookie Blue," which starts its fourth ABC season Thursday, May 23.
"I have such a soft spot for that show," Cameron tells Zap2it of her "Flashpoint" experience, "having been involved in the first year and having worked with Mark (Ellis) and Stephanie (Morgenstern, its creator-producers) closely. It really was a game-changer for Canadian television.
"Certainly, I don't know that there would have been a 'Rookie Blue' without a 'Flashpoint,'" adds Cameron. "I feel grateful, and I feel that I learned a lot. »

Inescapable: Title or Warning?
17 March 2013 3:32 PM, PDT | www.culturecatch.com | See recent CultureCatch news »
A dreary, flaccid, far-fetched “thriller,” Inescapable (available on VOD) arouses the little interest it does due to its locale, Syria, and its time period, early 2011. What topic could be more felicitously chosen? Yet, even forgetting the film was shot in South Africa, Ruba Nada’s subpar direction and screenplay and Teresa Hannigan’s zonked editing waste the opportunity to add any insight into the armed conflict that has already traumatized a people for far too long.
As for the lead actor, Alexander Siddig, who’s best known as Dr. Julian Bashir on the long-running series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, his inability to muster up an iota of charisma or any depth of character is the final nail in this celluloid coffin.
Siddig portrays Adib Abdel Kareem, who escaped to Canada a quarter of a century ago from Syria after being accused falsely of being an Israeli spy. Now with his wife and two daughters, »

John Malkovich will play the world's most famous pirate: Blackbeard.
The two-time Oscar nominee will star as the notorious figure in NBC's action-adventure drama series "Crossbones," Entertainment Weekly reports. Malkovich will start as Blackbeard in the 10-episode series based on Colin Woodard's book "The Republic of Pirates."
In the show set in 1715, Malkovich's legendary pirate reigns over the rest of the thieves and outlaws in the Bahamian island of New Providence. Assassin Tom Lowe is sent to take down Blackbeard, but "the closer he gets, the more enthralled with the community he becomes," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Hugh Laurie had previously been offered the role of Blackbeard, but turned town the role of the infamous pirate that now belongs to Malkovich.

Tory Kittles (Sons Of Anarchy) has landed a regular role on True Detective, HBO‘s upcoming eight-episode drama series starring Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. The project centers on detectives Rust Cohle (McConaughey) and Martin Hart (Harrelson), whose lives collide and entwine during a 17-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana.
