Glee Recap: The Quarterback

After news broke this summer that Cory Monteith had died ,  Glee fans began to wonder just how the show would go on in his absence. Tonight,  Glee paid tribute to the late star  and his character in what might be one of the most emotional episodes of television we’ve seen in quite a long time. Here’s a recap of the tragic action: The episode takes place three weeks after Finn Hudson’s funeral as the glee club gathers to say their own goodbyes. There was no mention of how Finn Hudson died, only that he had.  In true  Glee fashion, characters paid tribute to Finn in song. Amber Riley’s vocals are sorely missed around the McKinley choir room. Tina still can’t get a reasonably story line.  Burt and Carole were heartbreaking. ( It was all heartbreaking. ) Without Finn around to tell him he’s a good person, Puck has decided to join the Air Force. Santana plans never to return to McKinley.  Considering the circumstances, everyone in the cast was amazing, especially Lea Michele as Rachel. What did you think of tonight’s  Glee tribute to Cory Monteith? Be sure to head over to our  Glee review for a more in-depth discussion of “The Quarterback.”   So moving! Kind of manipulative Just very uncomfortable to watch View Poll »

Glee Season 5: First Teaser!

It’s clearly going to be a strange season ahead on Glee . Following the death of Cory Monteith, the show has announced that it will also kill off his character of Finn, though creator Ryan Murphy recently confirmed Finn’s passing will NOT be the result of a drug overdose. But the series won’t simply be doom and gloom doing forward, of course. There are musicals to stage and upbeat tracks to cover. With that in mind, Fox has released the first promo for Glee Season 5, which doesn’t reveal a great deal about what’s to come, aside from showing us a very enthusiastic Mr. Schuester on the September 26th premiere.

Jayma Mays Confirms Impending Departure from Glee

It may pale in comparison to the drama surrounding Glee these days in the wake of Cory Monteith’s death, but Jayma Mays has confirmed in a new interview: She will exit the series at the conclusion of Glee Season 5 . “This is going to be my last season,” the actress told Access Hollywood on the red carpet of this weekend’s Smurfs 2 premiere in Hollywood. Mays’ Emma Pillsbury got married on the May finale, but the star said she isn’t sure just how she’ll be written out or how the series will handle Emma’s relationship with Will. Mark Salling, Heather Morris, Amber Riley and Harry Shum Jr. have all been demoted as Glee regulars, while Adam Lambert will play an unknown role on the musical comedy this fall. Mays did acknowledge that she would “love” to return as a guest star someday, but Ryan Murphy have far weightier issues on their minds right now: They are writing the tribute episode for Monteith and to his character of Finn, who will be killed off in some way off screen on Season 5.

The Wolverine Reviews: Hugh Jackman Back Again! Good or Bad Idea?

Hugh Jackman returns to theaters once again as Logan, the Wolverine. It is his sixth time playing the character in both Wolverine solo outings and in the group X-Men films.  Does  The Wolverine have what it takes to justify yet another trip with the adamantium powered hero? We’ll check out what the critics say in these  The Wolverine reviews, you can compare them to both the Fruitvale Station  reviews (it opens in wide release today) and  The To-Do List reviews and make your weekend plans! In its astronomically budgeted, effects-laden way, it’s appealingly modest. And it has the glory of Hugh Jackman’s chest. — Craig Seligman,  Bloomberg News The Wolverine represents a strain of faux gravitas that squeezes nearly all the fun out of blockbuster moviemaking. Here we have multimillion-dollar proof that slow and unsure can be just as dull as hyperkinetic chaos. — Chris Vognar,  Dallas Morning News Although The Wolverine eventually falls back on a comic-book formula and CG effects (the climactic face-off between Logan and a giant silver warriorlike thing is totally generic), Mangold and his team find time to explore more nuanced realms … — Steven Rea,  Philadephia Inquirer   A refreshing summer cocktail of action-movie staples, The Wolverine combines the bracingly adult flavor of everyone’s favorite mutant antihero with the fizzy effervescence of several mixers from the cabinet of Japanese genre cinema. — Michael O’Sullivan,  Washington Post This is a serious, sometimes dark and deliberately paced story. — Richard Roeper,  RichardRoeper.com A handful of bold ideas brought down by the need to regress to a blander, more box-office-friendly middle ground. — Ian Buckwalter,  NPR
