Posted in Movies, News, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on October 25, 2011| Leave a Comment »

The Good Witch's Family

The Hallmark Channel movie The Good Witch’s Family will debut on October 29 at 9 PM.

MOVIE SYNOPSIS: Life is becoming routinely good for Cassie Nightingale (Catherine Bell) as she settles into marriage with Middleton Police Chief Jake Russell (Chris Potter) and as stepmom to Brandon (Matthew Knight) and Lori (Hannah Endicott-Douglas). But not everything in Middleton is good; in fact, some things are downright bad. Evil blows into town in the form of Cassie’s long-lost cousin Abigail, who whips up wickedness like a tornado darting across the Plains. The once peaceful Russell family bickers night and day; Jake is fired after an argument with the Mayor over a bridge expansion; and Martha (Catherine Disher), the Mayor’s wife and town busy body, who is also at odds with her husband over the bridge issue, walks out on their long marriage. As the town divides further over neighborhood expansion, Cassie is drafted to run for Mayor. There is friction in her once-happy marriage, her family is unraveling, and Abigail’s diabolical “double, double, toil and trouble” is the apex of Cassie’s misery.

Here is the trailer for The Good Witch’s Family.

The new NBC drama Grimm will debut at 9 PM on October 28.

Show Synopsis: Detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) thought he was ready for the grim reality of working homicide in Portland, Oregon.

Then, after a panicked visit from his only living relative, he discovers the truth about his visions: he’s not like everyone else, he’s a descendant of an elite group of hunters known as “Grimms” who are charged with stopping the proliferation of supernatural creatures in the world. And so begins his new life journey as he solves crimes with his partner (Russell Hornsby) who knows something about Nick has radically changed but can’t quite put his finger on it. Along the way, Nick finds himself unexpectedly getting help on some of the more difficult cases from Monro (Silas Weir Mitchell), a guy who seems normal at first but is soon revealed to be the Big Bad wolf.

The cast includes Bitsie Tulloch, Sasha Roiz and Reggie Lee.

Movie of the Week Reminder: Finding a Family

Finding A Family

The Hallmark Movie Channel movie Finding a Family will debut on Saturday, October 15 at 8 PM.

As described verbatim by Hallmark Movie Channel, the film is based on the true story of Alex Chivescu, a ward of the state of Michigan, who knowing he cannot be emancipated from the foster care system, searches for a new mom and dad within the school district that he believes can fulfill his lifelong dream of attending an Ivy League university.

Alex (newcomer Jared Abrahamson) has a passion for learning, instilled by his loving single mother, Ileana (Kim Delaney from Army Wives) who has a doctorate degree and speaks six languages. When Alex was 10-years-old, Ileana had a life-altering car crash that left her struggling with bouts of anger and depression, so much so that a family court judge deemed her unfit to parent Alex further.

The one constant in his life is school. When Alex’s transportation funding ends, he discovers he’s about to be assigned to a foster family outside the school district that can provide stability and a curriculum that can get him into an Ivy League university. Alex is left with only one option: in order to avoid being assigned outside the high school he loves, he must find a new mom and dad.

The cast includes Paul McGillion (Stargate Universe), Sarah-Jane Redmond (Smallville) and Genevieve Buechner (Caprica).

Here is the trailer for Finding a Family.

Attention Felicia Day Fans! Check Out Dragon Age: Redemption

Posted in Geekdom, News, Online Series, Recommendations, Video, Web Series on October 7, 2011| Leave a Comment »

Are you a fan of actress Felicia Day? Are you a fan of the role-playing video game Dragon Age from BioWare?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you are going to love Felicia’s new project in conjunction with the folks behind Dragon Age.

The following is a recent verbatim post made by Felicia Day at her Facebook page:

In March of last year my agent got a call…asking if I’d like to work on a project together. It was a vague call that turned into the idea of working in the world of Dragon Age, making a web series, acting in a piece of DLC content for the game as the character I created. No way I could say no, right?!

-3 months later I had a script written.

-7 months later we were in pre-production.

-10 months later we were shooting.

-14 months later I did all the mo-cap and vocal recording for the DLC, Dragon Age: Mark of the Assassin.

-16 months later we finished post-production.

-18 months later you get to see the result on Machinima starting today with the trailer (which you can find further below)

With the help of Bioware/EA, AMD coming on board as a sponsor, and over 200 cast/crew members, we made it happen! I know I’ve talked a bunch about this project over the last several months, so enough talk, release it already, right?

Starting next Tuesday I’ll be linking all the episodes to you here and on all my social media accounts(midnight international release on Machinima FYI), I’ve also been given a BUNCH of schwag to give out each week, like DLC codes, Dragon Age merch, signed headshots (etc.), so hopefully you’ll enjoy that. There’s a podcast (and more) so lots of fun stuff to come!

There’s a fanart contest currently going on over at Bioware around Tallis’ outfit (and a nice blog entry by the designer of the costume, Greg Aronowitz) and a puzzle contest that I’ll be helping link to all week until (the) launch, so maybe give that stuff a peek to tide you over (until the) launch!

Also I’m planning to schedule some Google Hangouts to interact with you guys about the episodes, so you can meet the cast and crew and ask questions about the show. I’ll announce those later on Twitter and Facebook and Google+, so be sure to follow me there.

To learn much more from Felicia Day herself, go to her Facebook page here.

And, drumroll please……

Here is the trailer for Dragon Age: Redemption:
