The Series:

Copper: Season One is BBC America's latest offering, as well as being solely produced by the BBC America. Copper is a period piece set in 1864 during the troubles of the Five Points neighborhood. Kevin Corcoran (Tome Weston-Jones) is a police officer with the New York City Police Department. He's a former boxer and fought in the Civil War. He left a wife and daughter behind only to find his daughter dead and wife missing upon his return. He now dedicates his life to enforcing the law and trying to figure out what happened to his family while he was gone.

Being that Corcoran is of fierce reputation and is the law of land, he weaves in and out of low and high society. He is a close friend with a wealthy industrialist's son named Robert Morehouse (Kyle Scmid), whom he fought with during the Civil War and they share a bond that cannot be broken, all politics asid...Read the entire review

The Series:

After the events set in motion, or in some characters cases, stopped dead in their tracks, Bo (Anna Silk) and Kenzi (Ksenia Solo) continue to move forward with their lives taking on cases that need solving by both the Light and Dark Fae clans. See, Bo is unaligned. She answers to no one, thereby giving her some nice access to both Fae groups. Kenzi is also back as Bo's sidekick or "claim." She's still cute and perky and talks all sorts of crap when the need arises. It arises all the time and I like that.

Everyone is back from the first season of Lost Girl and they are most welcomed. The second season of the show picks up with Bo and Kenzi taking on jobs for both Fae clans. I'd say that the first 7-8 episodes are actual stand-alone adventures that don't necessarily move the shows main point along until we get to about the 10th episode or so. This is not a complaint as some of t...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Yoon Hye-In (Su Ae) is the lovely double agent caught in a web of deceit involving nuclear espionage. She's constantly trying to be courted by one of here compatriots at the NTS, an anti-terror-espionage team of players trying to stop the covert extremis group called ATHENA from obtaining these weapons of mass destruction. The other guys she fancies, well, he's the head of ATHENA. Yeah, that isn't a complicated notion at all.

That's the basic gist of one of the MANY plot points going through the Athena: Goddess of War film. In fact, is the follow up to a series called Iris. I think Athena: Goddess of War is a series as well, which was shortened into this feature film. I didn't know the backstory to Athena until after I watched it. The first of many thoughts that ran through my head when I was watching Athena: Goddess of War was that it played ...Read the entire review

*This review is for the 2-D version of the movie.

Jet Li and director Tsui Hark are back together again for their collaboration entitled: Flying Swords of Dragon Gate. Try saying that three times fast. Jet Li plays the role of general Zhao, a vigilante who hunts down corrupt government officials. He does this in order to restore order to the royal throne, which is in the midst of upheaval, decadence, and corruption.

The governing powers are divided into the West Bureau and East Bureau eunuchs. Yeah, that sounds a bit off, but that's how it goes. The eunuchs wield lots of power as opposed to just being slaves or harem handlers. No, Jet Li does not play a eunuch, so let's get that out of the way right here, right now.

Zhao has ends up having to protect one of the emperor's handmaiden's, Su Huai Yong (Mavis Fan), after the emperor's concubine has sente...Read the entire review

The Series:

Lost Girl is a Canadian produced show that airs on SyFy here in the states and stars Anna Silk as our heroine and major protagonist Bo. Bo's different. She has a secret. Can you keep a secret? I can. She's a Succubus. She literally sucks out all of the sexual energy from her victims before they die. In fact, after she's done with them, they die with a smile on their face. Did I mention she's the good guy? Okay, just making sure. While working at a bar, and saving the life of a young thief named Kenzie (Ksenia Solo) who was drugged, she sort of takes her under her wing and moves her into her apartment for safekeeping.

What these young and attractive ladies don't know is that they're being watched by a highly secretive organization called the 'Fae.' Dyson (Kris Holden-Ried) is a Werewolf/police officer and Hale (K.C. Collins) is his partner and a Syren. These supernatu...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Martin is a quiet Frenchman who gets a devastating phone call telling him that his mother has died. In shock, or more of a 'walking shock,' he tells his girlfriend Claire (Chiara Mastroianni) that he has to leave and see to his mother's affairs. Martin stops by his estranged father's place to tell him about the death, which he quickly states that Martin should be the one to travel to Los Angeles to settle her estate. Linda (Geraldine Chaplin), a close friend of Martin's mother will meet him in Los Angeles.

When Martin arrives in Los Angeles the memories of his mother and his childhood hit him like a ton of bricks. Martin loved his mother, but his mother was a bit of a free spirit who did her own thing and sort neglected him at various times. As we see Martin walking the old neighborhood of Venice, we're taken back to his childhood via flashbacks that piece together the days of h...Read the entire review

The Series:

Adam Green and Joe Lynch, play themselves, in this brand new horror infused comedy sitcom called Holliston. Holliston takes its name from the city of Holliston, Massachusetts, where Adam and Joe are from. They're aspiring filmmakers who work at the local cable station and shoot lousy commercials for their sexually ambiguous boss, Lance Rockett (Dee Snider). Adam and Joe also live together. Joe has an attractive but morbid girlfriend named Laura (Laura Ortiz), Adam is single but is trying to get back together with his ex-girlfriend Corri (Corri English). For now they're just awkward friends.

Adam also has a partner in crime: Oderus Urungus (Dave Brockie) of GWAR fame. How cool is to have freakin' Oderus Urungus as your conscience? That's pretty rad! The season is composed of only 6-episodes, but feature cameos galore. You'll see horror industry veterans like T...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Hey, you make a film for next to nothing, take the indie festivals by storm and secure yourself a multi-picture-major-studio-deal and you're flying high. That's exactly what happened to young Edward Burns back in the mid-90's, with his debut, The Brothers McMullen. How would Burns fare with his highly anticipated follow up? The film world was watching.

She's The One is the tale of two brothers that deal with different levels of insecurity. The Brothers McMullen also had plenty of insecurity to go around, so it's not that much of a stretch here. Mickey (Edward Burns) is a New York cabbie who one day gets the unexpected fare of a lifetime. It's unexpected in that 72 hours later he marries this mysterious woman (Maxine Bahns). Francis (Mike McGlone), Mickey's brother, is married to Renee (Jennifer Aniston) and their married life could be going a whole lot...Read the entire review

The Movie:

It's only taken me 18 years to actually sit down and watch The Brothers McMullen on home video, but I do remember the hype machine going into overdrive way back in the day when young 20-something Edward Burns was lugging cable and equipment for the entertainment variety show Entertainment Tonight all the while writing and shooting his first feature film for about $23,600.

The Brothers McMullen centers around three hapless Irish-American-Catholic brothers who are all having troubles in their respective love lives. After the recent death of their father, their mother decides that she's going to move back to Ireland to live with the man she was originally in love with by leaving the brothers to make it in the world without her. What complicates this more is that they all have to live under the same roof while figuring out what to do next with their lives....Read the entire review

The Movie:

The story of Legendary Amazons is fairly straightforward, I believe. All of the men of the Yang Clan are killed in battle and their women, from the youngest to the oldest, must take up arms and seek revenge against the armies that killed their men. It's also got a political edge, because they must also seek vengeance against the official who let it happen. Ya gotta love political meddling.

The prior synopsis is also a subdivision of the main plot, which has the warrior Zongbao (Richie Chen) being struck down in battle, word reaching his wife and clan, and their 18 year old son, Wenguang (Xiao Ming Yu) taking up the role of leader. He must now lead the women into battle, and does so with his mother in tow, Mu Guiying (Cecilia Cheung). Guiying was Zongbao's wife, so she's definitely in for some bloodletting on the battlefield. Make no mistake - Wenguang really isn't leadi...Read the entire review

The Series:

I've been on a television series-reviewing spree as of late. Next up is NBC's new show called Whitney. The new sitcom stars, is created, executive produced, and co-written by the very popular Whitney Cummings (co-creator/writer/executive producer of Two Broke Girls), so to say that she is not busy would be an understatement.

We follow Whitney and her boyfriend Alex (Chris D'Elia) who live together in unmarried bliss over in the trendy part of Chicago. Whitney is a freelance photographer and Alex sold an internet-start-up, so all he does is hang out at the house pretty much doing nothing. Hell, they both do nothing, but it's funny seeing them try to look important. They have a social group of friends comprised of Lily (Zoe Lister-Jones), who fancies herself a romantic, Roxanne (Rhea Seehorn), who is recently divorced and an alcoholic, Mark (Dan O'Brien), is the...Read the entire review

*I will preface this article by saying that there will be minor spoilers throughout, so if you haven't seen season 7 then it's best to skip it until you have. Thanks.

It's cool that Supernatural always starts us off with a previous season recap, because all I remembered from season 6 was that Lucifer was put into a 'cage' where he would torture Sam's soul, along with the Civil War in Heaven that has killed many, many angels. Castiel (Misha Collins) was the big hero at the end of season 6 and had assumed the mantle of God after absorbing all of the souls in Purgatory. This, of course, was all a fluke since God did not possess him - The Leviathan possessed him. The Leviathan is a group of demons that lived in Purgatory long before man was even considered to exist. Now these demons wanted out into the world and wanted to take it over as their new domain.

The Movie:

White Vengeance, in the promotional materials, states that it's part of the 'Red Cliff' saga, but at a much earlier point in that time line. Whether it references the John Woo's Red Cliff or the historical one is up for debate. What White Vengeance does is pit to friends up against each other all over the love of a woman. Well, if it were only that easy. These warrior leaders are actually friends who fight alongside one another, but are then pitted against one another by a different warlord who also wants power. The female love interest is thrown in there to add insult o injury.

I'm going to try to simplify this review as much as possible, because just thinking about it gives me a headache. The main battle in White Vengeance is that of 'Feast at Hong Gate' and the film is set during the fall of China's Qin Dynasty. Liu Bang (Leon Lai) and Xian...Read the entire review

The Movie:

(Not) Based on True Events... - With that caption we're underway in Michael Biehn's The Victim, which is a pseudo throwback to the 'grindhouse' era of films (but more like the recent crop) that tells the story of a young woman named Annie (Jennifer Blanc), who witnessed a murder committed by two crooked detectives. Annie is also a stripper by trade. Yeah, I just had to get that out there. Kyle (Michael Biehn) is a recluse who spends his days and nights held up in his cabin in the woods. His world along with hers will change forever when she makes that desperate move of knocking on his door for help. 'Of all the strip clubs, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.' Okay, Biehn really didn't say that, but that's the way it plays out. He's just minding his own business until Annie and her troubles come along and put him in the middle.

From that point on, K...Read the entire review

The latest entry into the Resident Evil universe has the story taking place in an Eastern European country known as the Eastern Slav Republic, where the rebels have gone on the offensive and are trying to stop their government from taking over their lands and resources. It seems that before the skirmishes started there was a truce between the people and the government. Of course it was discovered that the people sat on vast quantities of resources, so the government had to get in there and extract it for the profit. They also just didn't go in there and say, "hey, we need your resources, hand them over." The government went in there under the pretense of there being terrorist activities going that had to be stopped. This segued into a bloody war between rebels and government forces.

The Movie:

It's been quite a while since I've tackled an independent romantic comedy, but I heard a lot of things, good and bad, about Lola Versus, so why the hell not, right? And on Blu-ray no less. Lola Versus has a peculiar title, because it's whatever you want it to be. It's Lola vs. The World, Lola vs. Friends, Lola vs. Family, Lola vs. Life, etc. It's literally anything you want it to be as long as you insert "Lola vs." into the equation.

Lola (Greta Gerwig) is about to hit the big-30, is engaged to Luke (Joel Kinnaman) and lives in New York City. What can possibly go wrong? Well, for starters, Luke calls of the wedding and Lola crumples and finds herself in a crap sandwich. Fortunately for Lola, her best friend Alice (Zoe Lister-Jones) is there to prop her back up and get her inspired to move on with her life post-break up.

This is easier said than done, because...Read the entire review

Hung: The Complete Third Season takes place six months after the events that happened in season two. Ray (Thomas Jane) and Tanya (Jane Adams), who is still his pimp, decide to join forces and start an actual prostitution business. Well, technically it's a wellness center for women that deal in happiness. They are "consultants" in the skin trade.

That fiery redhead Lenore (Rebecca Creskoff) will have none of that, seeing as Ray and Tanya pretty much stole her idea, with regards to lifestyle design, she takes matters into her own hands and snags a much younger version of Ray in busboy extraordinaire Jason (Stephen Amell). She'll mold him and control him, but she's gotta sample the merchandise first. There's still the issue with Ray's family responsibilities, namely his children and his ex-wife Jessica, played by Anne Heche. Their story arc throughout season three is mor...Read the entire review

The Series:

When we last left our boys from Brooklyn they weren't necessarily on top of the world, but they had hope on making it somehow. Whether it was girl problems, money problems, or just stiff competition, best friends Ben (Bryan Greenberg) and Cam (Victor Rasuk) were focused on getting their fashion careers up and running.

How To Make It In America: The Complete Second Season takes us into that direction by having the boys shop their new products from their own clothing line called 'CRISP.' Yes, the line is groovy, hip, priced right, but the competition is stiff. This comes from a new label started by former junkies and all around dirt bags called 'Neanderthal'. The Neanderthal label has cornered the market on hoodies, t-shirts, and what not. They also have a marketing budget and resources to take it to the next level - something that Ben and Cam are seriously lacking.

The Movie:

Up next we have Sean Bean in a new film called Cleanskin. What's a "cleanskin," you ask? Generally speaking it's a person or persons who do not fit the standard profile of a terrorist. The term was used more loosely in England after the bombings in 2005. The four bombers that detonated those bombs were cleanskins - because they flew under the intelligence radar of the government.

Ewan (Sean Bean) is a British Secret Service Agent who has to go deep undercover to try and stop Ash (Abhin Galeya), who plans on one last bombing. Ash is a former law student who turned to extremist ways when the outside world shunned him. At least that's his perception. In this case Ash is the cleanskin, because he comes from a normal background and the does not fit the general stereotype of a typical terrorist bomber.

This makes for a very elusive chase, because Ash fits in everywhere. Wh...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Gi-su (Min-ki-Lee) is a former motorcycle gang member who now works as a courier by day and rides by night. Okay, he rides during the day, as well. After witnessing the random bombing of an office building, Gi-su gets the posh gig of going over to pick up rising star A-rom (Yen-won-Kang), of the all-female group A-OK, to take her to the studio for a concert appearance. Once he arrives to pick her up, he realizes that she's his ex-girlfriend from 6-years before. They broke up under dramatic circumstances. Well, she's in a successful music group and he's jocking a bike making deliveries.

It goes from being incredibly awkward to incredibly deadly when A-rom puts on Gi-su's helmet and a digital timer begins the countdown. Gi-su gets a phone call right on the spot from a mysterious stranger who orders him to make several deliveries to specific individuals in a specified amount of ti...Read the entire review

Take one part Pulp Fiction, one part Curdled (the hardcore fan base know what I'm talking about), insert some southern hospitality, mix it in a blender and hit puree. Breathless is what you've got. It's a drama, black comedy, and southern-noir tale all rolled up into one.

Lorna (Gina Gershon) is married to piece-of-crap-small-time-thief named Dale (Val Kilmer) who has committed a robbery and made off with $100,000 dollars and he's not sharing. Lorna beats him and ties him up. Tiny (Kelli Giddish) is Lorna's best friend and confidant and is there to help Lorna figure out what they're going to do with Dale. Ray Liotta is a nosy Sheriff that is on the lookout for Dale, so that complicates things even more. Actually, what complicates things even more is that Lorna and Tiny also have to dispose of a dead body. Not only do they have to dispose of a dead body...Read the entire review

After triumph and tragedy, the Spartacus saga returns to the small screen to continue the tale of a former slave who has lost everything and will do whatever he can to exact vengeance on those that have done him wrong. Spartacus: Vengeance picks up after the events of the first season, which was called Blood and Sand. The show went into production, but had to be delayed due to Andy Whitfield's illness and subsequent death. Gears shifted and a prequel was created that follow the events that led up to Blood and Sand called Gods of the Arena, which introduced more characters that carried over into Vengeance.

Spartacus: Blood and Vengeance picks up shortly after the events that culminated with the House of Batiatus massacre where Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) freed all of the gladiators and led them to revolt. He and his co...Read the entire review

What is it about a well-cut trailer that just gets my blood boiling, in a good way mind you, no matter the subject matter? I'd just seen the trailer for 4.3.2.1 not too long ago and was pretty much blown away by what I saw. There were beautiful women, fast cars, guns, violence, etc. Count me in, I say!

4.3.2.1 technically stands for 4 girls. 3 days. 2 cities. 1 chance. Yeah, that's a bit off, but it sort of works in context. The primaries include: Joanne (Emma Roberts), Shannon (Ophelia Lovibond), Cassandra (Tamsin Egerton), and Kerrys (Shanika Warren-Markland). They're four girlfriends from all walks of life ranging from working class to the filthy rich, but are bonded together by love. They're best mates.

The gist of the story is that as they carry on with their lives they end up getting mixed up in a botched jewelry heist gone haywire. One of the thieves h...Read the entire review

The Heineken Kidnapping certainly wears the event on its sleeve, but in the fictionalized re-telling of the actual event, we're given some additional insight into the worlds of the rich and poor and how they play against each other. Alfred "Freddie" Heineken (Rutger Hauer) has been running the family's beer company for the past fifty years. The brand had yet to become popular outside of Europe, but even so, Heineken was still very well off. Heineken was able to indulge in a mistress, but still maintain, for appearance sake, a "normal" family life. He was a very private man who never had an entourage or traveled with a security detail.

The hooligans that conspire to kidnap the wealthy beer magnate cannot say the same. Initially the group works on their own taking down easy enough capers, but when Rem (Reinout Scholten van Aschat) who has an ulterior motive comes up with ...Read the entire review

Okay, let me get this out of the way first. I am not a U2 fan whatsoever. I've tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but I don't buy the aura of self-righteousness that envelops them, their music, or their fans. They've played right down the street from me at the Rose Bowl on their nifty spider stage a couple of years ago and I still felt nothing. Granted, they could be some of the loveliest people on the plant, but as far as a musical connection between me and the band - there isn't one.

You may or may not be asking yourself then why am I reviewing Killing Bono, a film that revolves around the band from Ireland? Well, that's the rub, you see. The film is not necessarily about U2. It's about childhood brothers and friends of the band that went to school, played together, and were somewhat of a rival before there ever was a U2. U2 was known as The Hype and Bono was...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Executive produced by the director of 2012 and Independence Day, Roland Emmerich, comes a new film called Hell. No, it's not traditional horror per se, even though it blends certain elements of horror with that of science fiction and suspense. In the near future the Earth has heated up 10 degrees Celsius and made the world pretty much uninhabitable from the outside. You can still survive outdoors, but if you're in the sun too long then you will literally cook. You're flesh will bubble and you will either die (if you're lucky) or be horribly disfigured.

Marie, Leonie, and Philip ride the desolate highway towards the mountains, where rumor has it that there's still water that flows through them. Along the way they make a pit stop at an abandoned petrol station to gather supplies and encounter a man named Tom who just so happens to be an amazing mechanic....Read the entire review

Black Limousine is a low budget film endeavor starring David Arquette and a few other familiar faces of the film world. Arquette stars as Jack MacKenzie, who is a recovering alcoholic, divorced father, and a one-time film composer who now moonlights as a limousine driver. Wait, what?

As Jack tries to get his shit together he encounters the beautiful yet mysterious model/actress/singer/alcoholic played by Bijou Phillips, his world will get turned upside down. In between shuttling (or limo'ing) celebrities, agents, and all sorts of degenerates that are able to hire his services, Jack tries to reconcile with his ex-wife, but his main focus is on his young daughter.

In addition to his limo gig and family life, he has to navigate through his own loneliness (and ball breaking landlord played by the fabulous Lin Shaye) all the while trying to get his music mojo back. I really...Read the entire review

Brake is Stephen Dorff's latest foray into DTV (direct-to-video) cinema. I only tease, but he's one of these actors that go back and forth with theatrical features and DTV flicks. Hey, a paycheck is a paycheck and I respect that.

Dorff plays Secret Service agent Jeremy Reins and Mr. Reins is having a really bad day. He just woke up in a giant plastic box in the trunk of an automobile not knowing how he got there. He has a CB radio and next to him is a giant digital timer that counts down. Something bad happens when the counter reaches zero.

It turns out that terrorists have kidnapped him and they want the location of the Presidential emergency bunker in Washington D.C. Reins will not yield, but by not giving them what they want they'll continue to torture him physically and mentally. Whenever the giant digital timer strikes zero - there will be more pain and punishment ...Read the entire review

Lockout is the bajillionth film produced and co-written (in some capacity) by French producer-director extraordinaire Luc Besson. Guy Pearce stars as Snow and Maggie Grace plays the President's daughter, Emilie, who is kidnapped while on a mission aboard a giant space station that houses all of the Earth's criminals in cryo-stasis. Snow has been convicted of espionage, but maintains his innocence. He's given a choice: the fridge or get up there and rescue the President's daughter. Not a tough decision to make, I reckon.

I don't know if it's already been said, but Lockout, to me, is basically Escape From New York and Escape From L.A., but it's Escape from Outer Space. Nowhere near as good as New York, but the concept and idea is sound. Snow (Pearce) is Snake Plissken and Maggie Grace is...still the President's daughter that n...Read the entire review

Miss Minoes is the 2001 (or 2002) Dutch film starring Carice Van Houten (Game of Thrones, Black Book, Black Death) that's based on a popular children's book about a cat that turns into a woman. I am not familiar with the book, so any liberties that were taken with the film will have no bearing on my review. In the film, Minoes (Van Houten) is a cat that drinks from a spilled chemical bin and magically turns into a beautiful woman. It's a fish, I mean, a cat out of water story...in that regard.

Tibbe (Theo Maassen) is the hapless journalist who gets no respect and is never taken seriously due to his awkwardness. He's also unable to crack any stories for the newspaper that he works for. His only friend is Bibi (Sarah Bannier), his landlord's daughter. Together, they hang out and ride around town and grab ice cream at the local ice cream shop. Read the entire review

The Movie:

Project X is the story of a couple of high school losers composed of Thomas (Thomas Mann), Costa (Oliver Cooper), JB (Jonathan Brown), and Dax (Dax Flame). Ha, I just noticed that everyone used their real names, with exception to Costa. Neat. The gruesome foursome are losers who go to an anonymous high school in Pasadena and are just aching to become popular by any means necessary. Actually, it's the group leader Costa, who wants them to become popular and the only way to do that is throw the biggest and baddest party of all time. It also helps that it's Thomas' birthday, so what a perfect way to try it out than on his special day.

The first part of the film sets up the boys and their middle-upper class existence, typical school day, and them going out to the gangster side of town to collect some "party favors" before burning bridges with their dealer. From there on it'...Read the entire review

Here's a film that's been in the can for quite a while now and will probably get tossed in the trash can once more people see it. Cat Run has the beautiful Paz Vega on the cover in a sexy get-up holding an automatic machine weapon of some kind looking hot and dangerous. Well hot, mostly. Vega plays Catalina Rona, a single mother by day and a high cost prostitute-escort by night. When she is invited to attend an orgy over in Eastern Europe, she becomes the unwitting pawn in a terrorist cover-up that may have U.S. implications. She also gets marked for death due to witnessing a murder of one her co-workers at the hands of a grimy U.S. Senator getting his rocks off.

Yeah, what looks to be a promising intro to potential good film comes to a screeching halt once we are introduced to our main protagonists. Wait, you thought Paz Vega, due to her being prominently displayed on...Read the entire review

You may have heard about a little film entitled Act of Valor, which used REAL Navy SEALs instead of actors playing Navy SEALs. The film tells the story of a team of SEALs as they are sent in to rescue a CIA operative after her cover is blown and is captured. This leads to the discovery of a much bigger plot to attack America and sets events in motion that have to be rectified sooner rather than later. Oh, I should have mentioned that the beginning of the starts off with what looks to be a random terrorist bombing in the Philippines before we get to our capture operative. It starts off random like that.

That's the basic plot of the film. Recover U.S. assets, kill the bad guys, and stop them from doing harm to the United States. No, it's not deep at all, but it was never EVER meant to be. It's not that type of film. The main selling point of this film is that real life Na...Read the entire review

While Will ponders what to do next, a mysterious stranger named Simon (Pearce) tells Will that he works for an organization that takes care people like the person who brutalized Laura. All Simon requires of Will is to agree to do a favor for Simon and his group and the perpetrator will be dealt swift justice. Will agrees.

Sometime later Will gets the fateful phone call from asking him to do a favor for the group. Will is given some information on the target, but as things heat up, Will discovers that he was lied to by ...Read the entire review

Emily's Reasons Why Not is one of those shows that got talked about for all the bad reasons. It's Heather Graham's television show that was canceled by the network after just ONE episode due to lackluster ratings, although the ratings were not all that bad if memory serves me correctly. It's funny, I thought the show was a pretty recent one, because I only heard of it a few months ago and thought that it was part of last year's slate. I was wrong. The one and only episode of Emily's Reasons Why Not aired way back in 2006 and we're only getting the first six episodes that were produced before it got scrapped.

Emily Sanders (Heather Graham) is a self-help publicist-editor at a publishing house where she's developed her very own personal rulebook called "reasons why not" in that she will no longer continue to make mistakes in her love life. Of course, she doesn't...Read the entire review
