DEXTER Season Six Premiere Review

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: October 1st, 2011 at 4:39 am

When we reunite with our favorite serial killer Dexter (Michael C. Hall) for the season six premiere, it’s been a year since our dark passenger helped and hooked up with the troubled Lumen (Julia Stiles) and brought down twisted self-help guru Jordan Chase (Jonny Lee Miller). While the previous seasons have had Dexter attempting to fit in through love and romantic relationships, this year he and his dark passenger are having a crisis of faith, at least when it comes to raising his toddler son Harrison. Really, the idea of romance all but disappears as various relationships from previous season (we won’t say which ones) have all pretty much crumbled, which makes for quite a lot of tension around Miami Metro Police Department. However, despite the high amount of tension that rises rather quickly in the first three episodes of the season, there also seems to be a higher level of humor, other than the usual dark fare, than other seasons. But that’s just the beginning of the strange changes happening in Miami. Hit the jump for the rest of my review of the sixth season of Dexter.

Exclusive: Colin Hanks Talks LUCKY, DEXTER Season 6, MY MOTHER’S CURSE and His Documentary About Tower Records

by Christina Radish    Posted: July 14th, 2011 at 11:26 pm

In the dark comedy Lucky, Ben (Colin Hanks) wins the lottery and, suddenly, his childhood crush, Lucy (Ari Graynor), becomes interested in him. Ben has been in love with her for years, but she has a hidden agenda, looking to appropriate his new found wealth. But, Ben is far from the shy, quiet guy that Lucy believed him to be and she gets more than she bargained for when she discovers that Ben’s past times include the occasional murder. In trying to make their marriage work, Lucy realizes that covering up for a serial killer is anything but easy.

During a recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, actor Colin Hanks talked about the appeal of a role so different from what people have come to know him for, playing a serial killer under the spotlight for winning millions in the lottery, making his character likeable even though he does such unlikeable things, and working with such a fun group of actors. He also talked about being part of the cast for Season 6 of the hit Showtime drama Dexter, how exciting it is to be involved in the latest storyline, how much he can’t wait to go to Comic-Con, the experience of making My Mother’s Curse with Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen, and his desire to make a documentary about the Tower Records legacy. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

First Trailer for LUCKY Starring Colin Hanks

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: June 9th, 2011 at 5:24 pm

The first trailer for the indie comedy Lucky has been released. The film stars Colin Hanks as an unassuming young man who wins the lottery and marries the girl of his dreams. Oh, and he also likes to kill people (experience should come in handy for his arc on the upcoming season of Dexter). The trailer’s actually alright. At first it seems a little “straight-to-DVD,” but once the premise comes across, Lucky looks like it could be a pretty good quirky comedy. I really like Hanks, and a serial-killer indie comedy actually seems like a good fit for his comedic style. In addition to Hanks, the cast includes Jeffrey Tambor, Ann-Margaret, Mimi Rogers and Ari Graynor. Hit the jump to watch the trailer.

THR reports that Hanks will play the husband of Strahovski, Rogen’s high school sweetheart. Anne Fletcher (The Proposal) will direct from a script by Dan Fogelman (Tangled). Hit the jump for the casting news of Elijah Wood in Celeste and Jesse Forever.

Colin Hanks Joins Season Six of DEXTER

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: May 9th, 2011 at 3:55 pm

Years and years ago we simply would’ve known him as Tom Hanks son, but thankfully Colin Hanks has worked hard to create quite a career for himself. Aside from appearing in films like Orange County and King Kong, the younger Hanks has also had quite an impressive career on TV in shows like Roswell, Mad Men and most recently The Good Guys (even though the series was canceled). Now Hanks is keeping his activity on the small screen alive as TV Line reports the actor will have a major character arc in the forthcoming sixth season of Dexter, which just had its first promo show up online recently as well. Apparently details on his character are being kept underwraps but speculation is already rampant that he’ll end up being this season’s bad guy. I guess we’ll have to wait and see how this plays out.

Fox Has Officially Canceled THE GOOD GUYS and RUNNING WILDE

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: January 11th, 2011 at 2:25 pm

This shouldn’t come as any surprise to those paying attention to Fox’s scheduling changes, but today Fox’s Television Critics Association panel also confirmed the online rumblings that have been circulating over the past couple months.  Fox’s recent comedy series Running Wilde starring Will Arnett and Keri Russell and The Good Guys starring Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks have both been canceled. Both series struggled to find an audience and personally, they never really tickled my funny bone more than a couple times an episode before I gave up on both of them. Surely there are plenty of fans who will be disappointed so feel free to vent your frustrations in the comments below.

THE GOOD GUYS Making Some Changes Before Series Return This Fall

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: August 9th, 2010 at 4:19 pm

Fox’s new hour long cop series The Good Guys starring Bradley Whitford and Colin Hanks may not have garnered a huge amount of success this summer when it followed Lie to Me on Mondays. But Deadline reports apparently executives at the network like it enough that they are following through on their upfront agreement to give the show a slot next to Human Target this fall. Only nine out of the total eleven episodes aired this summer so the remaining two will be thrown together with nine more episodes for an eleven episode run this fall. Got it? Cool.

But when the series returns this fall, a couple changes will be made in order to boost ratings, improve viewer demographics and generally make the show a little better. Hit the jump for details on the changes and my take on The Good Guys.

TV Review: Fox’s Buddy Cop Show THE GOOD GUYS Premieres Tonight 9/8c

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: June 7th, 2010 at 10:12 am

I didn’t get a chance to review the Fox’s summer buddy cop hourlong comedy The Good Guys in advance of its “sneak preview” in front of American Idol a couple weeks ago, but mind you that’s no indication of quality.  And lucky for me, Fox has deemed tonight’s move to its regular slot of Mondays 9/8 c the “series premire”, which gives me a second chance to shine some light on this fun romp of a summer show.

Hit the jump for a review of the first two episodes of The Good Guys after the jump.

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 20th, 2010 at 8:00 am

Adrien Brody Goes Back to HIGH SCHOOL to Sell Drugs

by Michael Sullivan    Posted: November 24th, 2009 at 10:11 pm

Academy Award-winning actor Adrien Brody plays a drug dealer in the stoner comedy High School and we have pictures to prove it. The film, written and directed by John Stalberg, tells the story of a high school valedictorian who accidentally gets stoned the day of a drug test that threatens his title. The boy’s solution? Get the rest of the school stoned too! The film stars Brody as drug dealer “Psycho Ed”, Colin Hanks as the valedictorian, and Michael Chiklis as the principal, so it’s not as Direct-to-DVD as its premise might suggest. See Brody in all his reefer regalia after the jump.
