Sunset Limited by Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson

Sunset Limited by Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson - HBO's movie "The Sunset Limited" is, on one level, just two guys sitting in a room talking. The filmed adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's play takes place in a single room, and we see only two characters, neither of whom are ever named, throughout its 90-minute running time.

But it's pretty riveting material, thanks largely to the performances by Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson plays a man who saves Jones' character, a college professor, from suicide after Jones (offscreen) tries to jump in front of a subway train. Jackson's character takes Jones' character back to his small apartment, and they talk about why Jones' character attempted suicide, God, the afterlife and other weighty topics.

Watch The Lost Valentine Hallmark by sean faris Movie

Watch The Lost Valentine Hallmark by sean faris Movie - After 40 years, the creators of the landmark TV series Upstairs, Downstairs announced they'd be relaunching the series this spring... only to see Julian Fellowes launch this upstart version ($34.99; PBS) clearly modeled on their show. Needless to say, they were miffed. But no one owns a copyright on stories about the aristocracy and their servants. Fellowes had mined that territory brilliantly with his screenplay for Gosford Park, Robert Altman's final masterpiece. It seemed fresh because he mixed in a murder mystery.

Here, there is no mixing. This is pure Upstairs, Downstairs territory -- in fact, during the first episode so many plot twists echoed major turns in that 1970s classic (the Titanic, closeted gays, fondness between the top man and woman overseeing the servants) that it was almost funny. Those echoes continue right through the season finale (not to mention a storyline lifted wholesale from the classic WW II film Mrs. Miniver).

Watch Downton Abbey Season 2

Watch Downton Abbey Season 2 - A scene from “Downton Abbey” featuring Maggie Smith

Secrets, blackmail, gossip, sex scandals, mysterious deaths, rivalry and scheming mark PBS’s latest period costume drama mini-series, “Downton Abbey”. At times, the show has as much in common with a prime-time soap as it does with an Austen adaptation — though it still features the requisite talk about marriage, property and class.

“Downton Abbey” is an original drama penned by “Gosford Park” and “The Young Victoria” scribe Julian Fellowes and set in the titular Edwardian manor house. The show covers the lives of the aristocratic family “upstairs” and all their servants “downstairs,” who have their own histories and agendas, and who can sway the fate of the wealthy folks above them.

The formula of fast-paced plotting meets classic costume-drama tropes seems to have worked. In the UK, “Downton” aired on ITV and was the network’s most popular drama since 1981’s “Brideshead Revisted.” Early figures stateside, according to ITV, make “Downton” one of Masterpiece’s biggest successes as well. Indeed, while “Downton” initially hooked me in with its twists and cliffhangers, the flawed and fascinating characters have grown more human over the course of a few episodes–and now I’m quite desperate to find out what their fates are for more than curiosity’s sake.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy - Square Enix's absurdly named Dissidia 012 [duodecim] Final Fantasy will bring the Final fight to retail on March 22, 2011, with an asking price of $29.99. The North American release of the game comes only a few weeks after the Japanese launch.

The publisher also announced that the PSP fighter will feature voice work by Rachael Leigh Cook as Tifa, Keith David as Chaos, Steve Burton as Cloud Strife and George Newbern as Sephiroth. All those FF characters in one game and not one with the pipes of Nolan North? It's hard to imagine.

SKINS “Tony” Episode 1

SKINS (MTV) “Tony” Episode 1 (Premiere) - Watch a sneak peek and check out photo of the premiere episode of MTV’s novel series, SKINS Tony Episode 1 which pride Monday January 17 2010 at 10 pm on. The Parents Television Council has called the MTV show “dangerous” with no even watching an episode. We determined to help out. MTV premieres its American reconstruct, "Skins," Monday (Jan. 17) at 10 p.m. ET after a special airing of the network's other so-called contribution to the downfall of society, "Jersey Shore." And while fans of the British hit will find it watered down compared to the original, there is plenty left in the remake to offend our delicate American sensibility.

In fact the Parents Television Council (PTC) released what they called "the most urgent alert" they've ever sent to parents last week on "Skins." If you're not familiar with the supervisory body group: It "aims to give parents with the tools they need to make informed television viewing decisions" in order to "help to protect your children from entertainment's negative effects."

"It is absolutely crucial," their release states. "That you be aware of the most dangerous program that has ever been foisted on your children!"

Harry´s Law Today

Harry´s Law Today - Chuck faces new episode struggle on broadcast (except for the CW), though ABC has The Bachelor as a substitute of Dancing with the Stars. On cable, Monday Night Football is missing for the rest of the television season. Chuck draw adults 18-49 ratings of 1.8, 1.7, and 2.0 in its last three original episodes.

The premieres of Harry’s Law enter the fray at 10pm next to a new episode of Hawaii Five-0 and a Castle replicate on televise. The last three new episodes of Chase in that time slot scored 1.4, 1.6 and 1.5 adults 18-49 rating. Can David E. Kelley and Kathy Bates reverse NBC’s fortunes in that hour?

Harry’s Law would almost certainly have been just one more lawyer series had it not been for a couple of changes. The role of Harry was switched from a man to a woman and it was Oscar-winning actress Kathy Bates who said yes to play Harriet/Harry.

Now, Harry is surely more colorful and not your average legal representative, which is why the actress jumped onboard to a television show.

“I loved it because she had her feet up on the desk; she was smoking pot and watching Bugs Bunny. After that, I was in,” Bates says.

Watch "The Game" Season 4, Episode 1 Recap

Watch "The Game" Season 4, Episode 1 Recap - The much-hyped Season 4 premiere of ‘The Game’ aired on BET last night (the prior seasons were on CW). Everyone’s talking about the steamy scene between resident Cougar, Tasha Mack (Wendy Raquel Robinson), and Donte (BET’s 106 & Park host, Terrence J).


Actually, they’re all talking about Terrence J’s exceptional acting skills. He really made me believe he has some prior experience with women.

The sports sitcom centers around a trouble making sports agent, Tasha Mack (Robinson) and her professional football player clients, Derwin (Pooch Hall) and Tasha’s son Malik (Hosea Chanchez) — none of whom can act their way out of paper bags.

Tia Mowry, who announced her pregnancy yesterday, plays Melanie, Derwin’s annoyingly insecure wife. Melanie and Mack don’t believe DJ is really Malik’s son. So Melanie swabs the cute tyke’s mouth for a DNA test, which turns out to be negative.

Last Movie of Leslie Nielsen's -- In Limbo

Last Movie of Leslie Nielsen's  -- In Limbo: Leslie Nielsen's last movie -- a small budget animated film -- may never see the light of day ... because after Leslie voiced his part ... producers couldn't afford to pay for the final animation.

Leslie Nielsen Last Movie
 







 Nielsen finished his voice work over a year ago, according to the director of the movie, Bryan Waterman. He tells TMZ that a "great deal" of production still has to be done before the movie can be released -- and by a "great deal" he means the majority of the animation.

Waterman tells us the project has been taking donations in return for a "special thanks" at the end of the movie -- but right now they're still searching for investors.

Waterman plans on adding a dedication to Nielsen, assuming the movie ever gets finished.
