TV Tonight: ABC Dramas and Showtime Hits

BuzzSugar — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:30:11 -0700

It's a busy night for premieres! There are a few notable hour-long dramas returning for the Fall season tonight, so make sure your DVR is ready to go.

First Showtime has Dexter's fourth season premiere, followed by Californication's third. I can't wait to see how Dexter balances his life as a family man along with his serial issues. Then, on Californication there'll be more eye candy than just David Duchovny: Ed Westwick will be guest starring tonight, as I showed you in my sneak peek.

To see what else is on tonight, just read more.

Over on ABC, it's the return of Desperate Housewives and we'll finally figure out who Mike chose (which my look at the season may or may not have revealed).

Then, at 10, Brothers & Sisters comes back, rounding out the night of drama. Not watching Showtime or ABC? Get animated with the series premiere of The Cleveland Show and the season premieres of The Simpsons and Family Guy.

Another Look at Season Three of Californication

BuzzSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:30:51 -0700

A new promo for the third season of Californication has been released, and this one's a little more family-oriented than the preview we saw a few weeks ago. Girls and sex will never be far from Hank Moody's thoughts, but it looks like the upcoming episodes will also explore his relationship with his daughter a bit further.

Becca is clearly not a kid anymore, and Hank may finally have to grow up a little to get through to her. I'm already loving the witty father-daughter banter (even when things get a bit heated). We've still got a few weeks to go before the Sept. 27 premiere, but check out the clip after the jump for another sneak preview.

First Look: Californication Season Three

BuzzSugar — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:30:12 -0700

What happens when you put notorious womanizer Hank Moody in a classroom full of lovely college girls? That's what we'll find out when Californication starts its third season this Fall. From the preview below, I can guess that nothing wholesome will come from this situation, but it should be awfully entertaining.

When the new season begins, school's in session for Hank (David Duchovny), and with Karen across the country, Hank seems to be embracing his freedom. How much trouble can this "girl whisperer" (as guest star Peter Gallagher calls him in the preview clip) get into? I had to laugh when Hank's daughter asks why there's a naked lady in her bedroom - isn't that just par for the course in the Moody household?

Gallagher is just one of many guest stars lined up for this season: Kathleen Turner, Eva Amurri, Ed Westwick, Diane Farr, and Rick Springfield will also make appearances. The new season kicks off Sept. 27, and to get your first look, just read more.

What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

BuzzSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 08:30:32 -0700

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below, you can also pick up Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson's romcom Fool's Gold and the complete Jericho series on DVD.

Be Kind Rewind
Director Michel Gondry is known for a bizarre brand of humor (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and Be Kind Rewind delivers just that. It stars Jack Black and Mos Def as friends who have to recreate old movies because Black's character accidentally erases all the videos in Def's video rental store. They tackle classics like Ghostbusters and Driving Miss Daisy using hilarious dumpy props and less-than-special effects. Surprisingly, their remakes are a big hit with customers. I called it a must-see for fans of Gondry, and everyone else might enjoy how endearingly funny Jack Black and Mos Def are as they play off each other.

Extras on the disc include the trailer for the film and a featurette titled "Passaic Mosaic."

A movie and a TV show up next so read more.

Under the Same Moon
I haven't seen this indie flick yet but am adding it to my queue because I've read really good things about it. Centered around a boy's journey across the U.S./Mexico border in search of his mother, Under the Same Moon sounds like a real tearjerker. America Ferrera has a small part in the film, but all the performances are supposedly quite touching. The movie earned a standing ovation at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.

Special features include a featurette on the making of the film and information about the murals featured in the movie.

Californication: Season 1
This Showtime original series starring X-Files hottie David Duchovny is not suitable viewing for kids or even alongside Mom and Dad. It's daring and often crass, but it's also smart and funny and I'm addicted! I've said before I wish more of my friends watched the show so that we could discuss the next day, and now there is no excuse not to catch up with the release of the debut season on DVD.

Duchovny plays a novelist in L.A. who's had one bestseller but is having a hard time following it up with another success. The love of his life wants nothing to do with him as he tries to balance his own self-destructive behavior with raising his daughter. Evan Handler (Sex and the City) stars as Duchovny's buddy and agent. Time to get started watching now before season two starts up!
