Warehouse 13’s Relic Roundup: Firefly Alumni Unearthed!

Posted on July 14, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Last week’s Warehouse 13 premiere saw Pete, Myka and Co. tie up the MacPherson thread of season one and introduce the female H.G. Wells as season two’s antagonist. So naturally, such a development would be followed up with a fairly inconsequential, one-off episode, the only redeeming value of which being two guest stars with ample nerd cred: Firefly’s Jewel Staite and Sean Maher. (Simon and Kaylee were hardly my favorite characters, but dammit if I couldn’t stop grinning during this episode. A little fan service now and then never hurts.) But which of this week’s relics would you venture into M.C. Escher’s vault for?

Posted on May 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

You know how sometimes you’re watching the Syfy channel, and you see an ad for some bizarre, low-budget vampire-shark movie or something, and it stars one recognizable actor, and you wonder how this got made, and you think, “Probably Canadian tax breaks or something,” and all the actors are standing in some abandoned industrial set spouting terrible lines, terribly? Well, on a completely unrelated note, here is a new clip of Dakota Fanning and the Volturi from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse .

Rubbing The Crystal Ball: Movieline Predicts the Hollywood Year Ahead

Posted on April 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Today, as you’re well aware by now , Movieline celebrates its first birthday on these Internets [SFX: popping of champagne corks, the joyous slap of high-fives, the grinding snarl of a chainsaw carving an ice sculpture of Jim Cameron’s bust], and the occasion is being marked with some contemplative looks back at the previous year in entertainment as observed by our bouncing baby e-publication. With the retrospective angle so ably handled by other colleagues, this column’s been tasked with looking ahead to the coming year, and so we’ll gaze into the Movieline crystal ball and try to discern from the murky, flickering images contained therein what unexpected trends, paradigm-shifting events and other assorted happenings to expect from Hollywood in the next 12 months.

Syfy Acquires WWE SmackDown — Really

Posted on April 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

When you think of the Syfy network, you think of sweaty, steroid-fueled men (and women) issuing choreographed moves like the shining wizard , the Mongolian chop and the Bionic elbow for your guilty pleasure, right? Well, that is what the “Imagine Greater” network is hoping for when it premieres WWE Friday Night Smackdowns on Oct. 1. Syfy president Dave Howe rationalized that the partnership is perfect because “WWE is the ultimate in imagination-based sports entertainment.” Standing moonsault ! [ TVbytheNumbers ]
