The SYFY Channel will be debuting Continuum in the United
States on Monday, January 14, 2013 at 8 pm, EST. Continuum is a Canadian
science fiction series produced by Reunion Pictures Inc. and centers on
the conflict between a police officer and a group of rebels from the year 2077
who time-travel to Vancouver, BC in the year 2012. It premiered on Showcase in Canada
on May 27, 2012 and ran for ten episodes. It has already been renewed by
Showcase for a second season.
The SYFY Channel describes Continuum:
When a group of fanatical terrorists escape their planned
execution in 2077 by traveling back in time to 2012, they inadvertently take
City Protective Services officer Kiera Cameron with them. Trapped in a more
“primitive” past, Kiera infiltrates the local police department to try to track
down the terrorists before they change the course of history.
Continuum stars Rachel Nichols (Alias, Criminal Minds, G.I.
Joe) as Kiera, Victor Webster (Castle, Melrose Place) as detective Carlos
Fonnegra - who Kiera allies with - and Erik Knudsen (Jericho, Scream 4) as Alec
Sadler, the teenaged tech genius who could be Kiera’s key to saving the future.
Continuum comes from executive producers Simon Barry (The
Art of War), Jeff King (Stargate SG-1, White Collar), Tom Rowe (Tin Man), and
Pat Williams (Smallville).

The SYFY Channel will be airing the first episode of season
three of Lost Girl on January 14, 2013 at 10 pm, EST. On December 9, 2011, Kirk Hooper announced on the Showcase
blog that Lost Girl had been renewed for a third season. It was later confirmed
by Showcase the air dates for Season Three: Showcase will premiere it on January
6, 2013, making the SYFY broadcast of the first episode only a week later.
A press release describes Lost Girl, season three:
For Bo, Season Three is all about discovery. The victory in
the final battle of Season Two has created new alliances but also reinvigorated
old enemies - enemies like The Morrigan, whom Bo crossed in an attempt to bring
peace to the Faedom. This year our favorite Succubus, who until now has
famously refused to pick a side, will be forced to make a deadly decision - or
risk a fate worse than death. Season Three also sees Bo make a romantic choice,
as she commits to a real-life, grown-up relationship - but finds the road to
commitment riddled with obstacles. Though she chooses the one she loves, can a
Succubus ever be monogamous? Throughout the season, unexpected jeopardy stalks
Bo and those she cares about. Though Bo battles many foes, her greatest enemy
will prove to be the one that resides within herself. Bo will have to comes to
terms with her own identity, and take on an ancient, almost unwinnable
challenge if she hopes to finally lean the terrifying truth about who (or what)
she might be destined to become.

the Showcase debut below:
As I wrote in my post over a year ago, TRAILER TUESDAY!SUPERNATURAL SEASON SEVEN STARTS FRIDAY ON THE CW, I have been a fan of the show since season one, episode one. It’s hard to believe
that tomorrow night is the first episode of season eight and I’m just as
excited to see what the Winchester boys are up to this year as the past seven!
While season seven was far from my favorite, it still had plenty of fun
exciting episodes "The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo" about
a computer hacker named Charlie (guest-starring Felicia Day), and horrific, sad
scary episodes "Death's Door", about the death of my favorite
character Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver).
Season eight starts off a year after the end of season
seven. Here is the official description of season eight:
Sam and dean are reunited after a year apart -- Dean (Jensen
Ackles) re-emerges from Purgatory, but he isn't alone. He heads straight for
Sam (Jared Padalecki), but the reunion isn't exactly what he thought it would
be. Sam drops everything to join his brother, but leaving the life he had grown
to enjoy turns out to be harder than he imagined. Dean and Sam look for Kevin
(guest star Osric Chau) who has managed to escape Crowley's (guest star Mark
Sheppard) grasp, but things come to a head quickly when Kevin tells them what
it is that Crowley wants.
Supernatural has also had great guest spots and season eight
is no exception! This year Amanda Tapping is set to play Naomi, who executive
producer Jeremy Carver describes as "cool and mysterious, part of a new
group of angels we've never seen before." She will make her first appearance
in episode 8 titled "A Little Slice of Kevin” and it has been reported
that she will make additional appearances beyond this episode. As any genre fan
should know, Amanda Tapping is best known for her work in the Stargate
franchise as Samantha Carter, and more recently she starred as Helen Magnus on
Sanctuary.
Another interesting guest star will be Mike Farrell - best
known for his work as Captain B.J. Hunnicutt on M.A.S.H., who will star in
episode 8 as an aging mentalist with a slippery grasp on reality.
Season eight of Supernatural premiers tomorrow
night on the CW network at 9:00 PM EST. Enjoy the trailer for season eight of
Supernatural!

Thanks to a New England snowstorm last weekend, I had to
wait a week before seeing Underworld: Awakening. For reasons I can’t fathom, my
local theater did not have the film showing on any of its ten screens, so I was
forced to trek to a slightly more distant cinema to see it. Worst of all, this
theater has no stadium seating and they were only showing Underworld: Awakening
in 3-D! I don’t hate 3-D, but of the four films I have now seen in 3-D, I can
honestly say that the process added little to nothing to any of these films.
Fortunately, despite all these seemingly opposing events, I still enjoyed
Underworld: Awakening immensely – with one caveat, which I’ll get to at the end
of this review.
Underworld: Awakening is a sequel to Underworld: Evolution
(2006) and takes place twelve years after “The Purge”. A prologue to the movie
tells us that six months after Selene gained the powers of the Vampire-Corvinus
strain and she and her lover Michael Corvin killed the remaining elder
vampires, the human race discovered the existence of Vampires and Lycans, which
began a worldwide purge of their species. Selene and Michael are captured by a medical
corporation Antigen and frozen in a cryogenic state for study.
Twelve years later, Selene escapes the medical facility, but
soon after begins having visions, which lead her to a vampire David, the son of
Thomas, a Vampire Elder who leads one of the few remaining vampire covens that
remain hidden from humans. David helps Selene rescue a young girl from Antigen,
who Selene sees in another vision. Selene and David fight a group of Lycans,
who are also after the girl, but she is injured in the fight. The girl, who is
another hybrid, is not healing, so David takes her and Selene back to his coven
to be looked at by a vampire physician.
Thomas blames Selene for the human’s discovery and
extermination of vampires, so he is anxious for her to leave his coven, but
David wants Selene to train his coven to defend themselves against both the
humans and the increasingly violent Lycan race. Dr. Jacob Lane, the director of
Antigen, was using the hybrid girl to develop an "antidote" to make Lycans
immune to the deadly effects of silver and enhance their physical abilities. The
girl, dubbed by Lane “Subject 2”, needs the hybrid genetic code to achieve
this, so Lane sends a super-Lycan Quint with other Lycans to the vampire coven
to recapture her. A battle ensues and many of the vampires and werewolves are
killed, but Quint dispatches and nearly kills David before leaving with the
hybrid girl. Selene heals David with her “immortal” blood and they depart to
confront Lanne, Quint and the minions of Antigen.
To start, Underworld: Awakening is even more reliant on
action and violence to carry its plot than any of the other three films. I
assume that the filmmakers knew that anyone going to see a forth film in a
series is going to be familiar enough with the Underworld mythology to not need
lengthy bits of narrative to understand the whos, whats and wheres of the
story. Even after having just watched the previous three films a few months
ago, I was still a bit dazed by how briskly the plot points of Underworld:
Awakening are gone over. I was able to keep up with the basic reasons for why
Selene was motivated to rescue “Subject 2”, but I would have liked a bit more
space between the action sequences to add some depth to the motivations of
Selene and the other characters in the film.
Still, the action sequences are the main draw of the
Underworld films and Underworld: Awakening does not disappoint in this regard.
The opening sequence of Selene’s escape from the high-rise medical center is
amazing. Selene demonstrates her uber-vamp powers on numerous occasions, where
she seems almost to defy the laws of gravity. The Lycans in this film are very
impressive, but the super-Lycan Quint – who is easily nine feet tall – is an
amazing creature to behold. If I have any complaints about the special effects
at all is that at times they are moving so quickly that you have little time to
admire their detailed effectiveness.
Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein, who previously directed the
supernatural thriller Shelter (2010), do a fine job recreating the
dark-monochromatic look and feel of the previous Underworld movies. Len
Wiseman, who previously directed the first two movies – Underworld and
Underworld: Evolution – as well as having a hand in the story for all three
Underworld films, wrote the initial screenplay for Underworld: Awakening. The
three other writers, most notably J. Michael Straczynski of Babylon 5 fame,
stepped in for rewrites, but there is so little narrative that is carried by
dialogue, that I have to wonder what, if any contributions he or the others
made to the script.
Kate Beckinsale steps back into the role of Selene after six
years effortlessly. Her cool, hard, but still quiet deadly passion fills the
screen for most the film’s short 88 minute run time. I do miss her interaction
with her Lycan lover Michael – who only makes a brief appearance at the
beginning of the film – and the leading male role of the vampire David played
by Theo James is little more than male eye-candy. Veteran actor Charles Dance
as the Vampire Elder Thomas adds a nice bit of gravitas to the film and Stephen
Rea as Dr. Jacob Lane is quietly sinister as the head of the medical
corporation Antigen. If Kris Holden-Ried, who plays the super-Lycan Quint, looks
familiar, it is because he plays a similar supernatural creature on the TV
Series Lost Girl. Holden-Ried’s facial features and physicality certainly add weight
to his role as the ferocious uber-Lycan, but I wonder if he is in danger of
being typecast in a way similar to that of actor Ron Perlman.
Overall, Underworld: Awakening achieves what it set out to
do, which is build on the story and world of the previous Underworld movies,
while still creating an exciting and visually stimulating supernatural
spectacle! The one caveat with the film that I hinted at at the outset of this
review, is that the film has a tenuous conclusion that leaves me wondering if
the writers had planned on a longer movie, but didn’t have the budget to film
it. Underworld: Awakening is in definite need of a sequel to finish the many
plot-threads that were left dangling at the end of the movie. While I’m glad
that the film should be financially successful enough to warrant a sequel and
I’m sure I’ll be attending it as well, it might have been nice if Underworld:
Awakening could have had a stronger finish that would not necessarily required
one.
Underworld: Awakening is a wild ride and a worthy addition
to one of my favorite supernatural fantasy series! See it now or later, but
don’t miss it.
Child of Fire is an Urban Fantasy novel that has been “on my
radar” for some time now.“Excellent
reading…delicious tension and suspense”, Jim Butcher author of the Dresden
Files Novels is prominently featured on the cover, and even though this is my
current favorite author and series, I still did not purchase Child of Fire.
What was my hesitation to read Child of Fire? The main protagonist Ray Lilly was
clearly a former criminal and from my minimal research, did not seem like a
particularly likeable character. I’m not a fan of the anti-hero; and yet Child
of Fire still intrigued me.
Finally, after more than two years from its original
publication date, I bought and read Child of Fire by Harry Connolly. I was
right that Ray Lilly, Child of Fire’s main character was not your standard “hero”,
but it turns out that he is fairly likeable.
The novel starts with Ray driving his “boss” Annalise
Powliss on a mission to find the cause of children missing from the small town
of Hammer Bay, Washington. Ray is a “wooden man” assigned to Annalise , who is
an agent of the Twenty Palace Society – a group of sorcerers that hunt down and
kill other users of magic. Ray, a former car thief, is released from prison by
the Twenty Palace Society for the sole purpose of acting as a sort of body
guard and servant to Annalise.When they
arrive at Hammer Bay, no one in town remembers the missing children and it
quickly becomes apparent that magic is the key to their disappearance.
The tone of Child of Fire is very “noir”, but the action and
mystery elements keep the story from bogging down and becoming too morbid –
despite the many deaths of both the innocent and guilty. The magic in Child of
Fire is very different from most other Urban Fantasy novels, in that it involves
the use of written spells, as opposed to the usual verbal ones. Not much time
is spent on either explaining the magical rules or the origins of the Twenty
Palace Society that Ray and Annalise work for. This causes a bit more work for
the reader than I’m used to, but it works for Child of Fire in that it forces
you to focus on the plot at hand and work out the magical rules for yourself.
The sequel to Child of Fire, Game of Cages was published
last year, and I’ve already bought this – with plans to read it in the coming months.
If I like that as much – and hopefully more – than the first novel, then I will
more than likely buy and read the third novel, Circle of Enemies – published in
August of 2011 – as well.

BBC America launched their Supernatural Saturdays a few
years back when they started airing first run episodes of their new series of the
Doctor Who program. It began with re-runs of American TV shows like Battlestar
Galactica, The X-Files and Star Trek: The Next Generation, but soon they began
airing original BBC programs in their place. The first of these was the
supernatural soap opera Being Human – which was popular enough on both sides of
the Atlantic Ocean to have run three seasons and be picked up for a fourth.
Primeval, the sci-fi show with prehistoric creatures aired their first two seasons
next and would later air two more seasons on BBC America. More recently, the
sci-f show Outcasts and the paranormal drama Bedlam have aired on Supernatural
Saturdays.
The latest original BBC program to air on BBC America’s
Supernatural Saturday is The Fades. The Fades, which aired its first season of
six episodes this past September/October on BBC Three, will make its BBC
America debut in January next year.
The Fades is a coming-of-age fantasy drama showcasing the
supernatural skills of a reluctant teenager named Paul (Iain De Caestecker).
His best friend Mac (Daniel Kaluuya) and his therapist, are completely stunned
by the apocalyptic dreams that he’s been having. His twin sister Anna (Lily
Loveless) is also unsympathetic of his socially awkward behavior. As if things
aren’t difficult enough, Paul is seeing the spirits of the dead (known as
Fades) all around him. An embittered Fade finds a way to break the barrier
between the dead and the living, aiming its vengeance at Paul, Mac and their loved
ones. Soon the fate of humanity rests in the hands of the two best friends, who
already have enough trouble getting through the day in one piece, let alone
saving the world.
Writer and creator Jack Thorne says of the show: “What makes
The Fades different is that it is a fantasy show rather than a science fiction
show. It’s about fairly ordinary people, none of these people act or behave
like they’re superheroes. The Fades is about the world itself being an
extraordinary thing and how you battle it. This old school fantasy element
combined with some pretty original characters – I hope is what will make people
want to watch.”
The Fades premieres Saturday, January 14 at 9/8c as part of of BBC America’s Supernatural Saturday. Watch the trailer for The Fades and decide for yourself if
this Saturday Supernatural show is for you!
The cable network SyFy is presenting a new supernatural show
this January: Lost Girl. “In one year, Lost Girl has electrified viewers in
Canada and around the world. We’re delighted to bring this fascinating,
high-octane series, which depicts a unique world and memorable heroine, to the
Syfy audience,” says Thomas Vitale, executive VP, programming at Syfy. Lost
Girl premieres on Syfy Monday, January 16, at 10/9c.
Here is the description of Lost Girl from its Canadian cable
network Showcase web site:
Lost Girl follows supernatural seductress Bo (Anna Silk:
Being Erica; Billable Hours), a Succubus who feeds on the sexual energy
(sometimes called “Chi”) of humans.Growing up with human parents, Bo has no reason to believe she's
anything other than the girl next door – until she drains her boyfriend to
death in their first sexual encounter. Once she hits the road, Bo discovers she
is one of the Fae, creatures of legend and folklore, who pass as humans while
feeding off them secretly, as they have for millennia. Relieved yet horrified
to find out that she is not alone, Bo is faced with choosing an allegiance
between the Dark and Light Fae clans.Bo
decides to take the middle path between the humans and the Fae while embarking
on a personal mission to unlock the secrets of her origin.
With the help of her human sidekick, Kenzi (Ksenia Solo:
Black Swan, Life Unexpected), Bo takes on a challenge every week helping a Fae
or human client who comes to her to solve a mystery, or to right a wrong.Already in a love triangle with Dyson (Kris
Holden-Ried: Ben Hur, The Bridge; The Tudors), a sexy Fae working as a human
police detective, and the beautiful human scientist, Lauren (Zoie Palmer: The
Guard; Instant Star) who works for the Fae, Bo’s love life is about to get even
more complicated.
For a fan of supernatural shows in general, and Joss Whedon’s
Buffy the Vampire Slayer in particular, Lost Girl looks like it could be in a
very similar vein.
Syfy has ordered the two seasons of the show from Prodigy
Pictures that have already aired in Canada. Here’s a trailer from the Canadian
telecast!
I had not planned on watching American Horror Story,the new horror program which premiered on the
FX cable network this past Wednesday night at 10 pm. My favorite subgenre of
horror is supernatural horror. American Horror Story appeared from the teaser
trailers to fall within the horror subgenres of ghost stories, creepy houses
and psychological horror, all three of which are my least favorite. Ever since
Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel went off the air, I’ve been getting my
weekly supernatural horror TV fix from Supernatural on WB/CW.The new supernatural horror show that I’ve
been looking forward the most is Grimm, which NBC has pushed the premier date back to October 28. Still, as a curious and dedicated genre fan I
decided to give the first episode of American Horror Story a try.
After watching American Horror Story on FX HD On Demand and I
can honestly say it is the most disturbing horror psychological drama that I
have ever seen on Television. The lines that the show draws between reality,
imagination and the supernatural are so fine that it really leaves you guessing
as to which is which. I can't say that I found the show entertaining, but it is
so skillfully done - both visually and contextually - that I find myself intrigued
enough with the series set-up that I think I’ll be drawn to watching future episodes.
The basic story is about a married couple from Boston, Ben
and Vivien Harmon (Dylan McDermott, Connie Britton), who along with their
teenage daughter Violet (Taissa Farmiga), move to Los Angeles to get a “fresh
start”. It is revealed that Ben cheated on Vivien after she had a miscarriage
and was refusing his attentions both emotionally and physically. Ben, a psychiatrist,
saw this old mansion for sale on line for a reduced rate and hoped that he
could use one of its many rooms as an office to see patients. Even after
finding out that the previous owners of the home committed murder/suicide, the Harmon’s
buy and move into the remodeled, but still oddly creepy mansion.
All the Harmon family members have deeply disturbing character
flaws. Ben Harmon is frustrated by his wife’s lack of sexual attention and her
obvious need to take out her anger and grief out on him. Ben’s practice also
puts him into emotional turmoil as well, which adds to his dysfunctional behavior towards his family. Vivian Harmon is not only still suffering from the grief of a lost
child, but her distrust of her husband still forces her to distance herself from
him. Violet Harmon is also troubled, as she feels aliened by both her parents, to
the point that she suffers from self-injurious behavior (SIB).
As if their own problems weren’t enough, the Harmon’s home
is invaded by a childlike woman who decrees the death of them all. Her mother, Constance
(Jessica Lange) arrives to retrieve her daughter Abby (Jamie Brewer), but dispenses
disturbing gossip about the gruesome murders committed in their home. Almost as
mysteriously, an older woman named Moira (Frances Conroy) shows up at the
mansion and declares herself the mansion’s housekeeper. She goes into great
detail as to how she was the one to discover the bodies of the previous owners
and that she was the one to clean up the mess. For some inexplicable reason, Moira
appears to Ben as a very attractive young women and this causes the sexual
tension between he and Vivian to increase even further. The first episode
concludes with a bizarre sexual encounter between Vivian and someone who she
thinks is her husband and a big reveal at the end.
Even for a cable network show, the language and graphic
depiction of sexuality are fairly strong. While FX’s American Horror Story
still can’t compete with HBO’s True Blood for its explicit nudity or casual use
of the “F” word, it still conveys a true adult tone without resorting (thus
far) to True Blood’s gruesome gore and blood. The acting is all finely
underplayed in the style of Gothic Horror and as there are no stand outs among
the cast, it plays nicely as an ensemble piece. I was somewhat displeased with
the use of the character Abby, who obviously suffers from Down’s syndrome, and
her treatment by her mother Constance, but I’ll give the show some time to
elaborate on their relationship before sicking my metal PC police on them. As
there are no strong moral characters in the show, it makes it difficult relate
to or empathize with any of them. I’m assuming because this is serialized Television
and not a one-off film that at least one of the characters will grow from their
horrifying experiences as the program progresses. I’ll continue to watch
American Horror Story for as long as they continue to exceed my expectations and
not overindulge in the disturbing drama, but further explore the supernatural
aspects of the show.
Supernatural is entering its seventh season! I have followed
this show since season one, episode one and have always found it to be a solid
supernatural horror series. The idea of making the two leads of a genre show
brothers is unique. The strength of Dean and Sam’s relationship and how their
distinctly different personalities create both a bond and tension between them,
while they maintain their enduring battle with the all the supernatural
evils of the world is what keeps the show interesting even after six seasons.
This past season, Dean and Sam faced insurmountable obstacles:
Sam returned from Hell without his soul, and Dean risked everything to get it
back for him. The power struggle between good and evil raged on, with the new
King of Hell, Crowley, ultimately emerging as their adversary. Shockingly,
Crowley had made a secret deal with Sam and Dean’s closest friend, the angel Castiel,
who became a desperate freedom fighter on the losing side of a post-Apocalyptic
civil war in Heaven; together, the uneasy allies sought to open a door to
Purgatory, where a great untapped well of souls lie waiting to be used as the
ultimate form of military power. Sam and Dean reeled from the betrayal by their
friend — and raced to stop the angel and demon before they opened that
dangerous, otherworldly door.
Now, in season seven, the Winchesters will find themselves
at odds with Castiel, who has declared himself God and his using his new found
power to right some perceived wrongs in the world. It looks as though Dean and
Sam may have to stop yet another Apocalypse on Earth and this time they won’t
be able to rely on supernatural beings for help, but will have only
themselves to rely on!
The series stars Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester, Jensen
Ackles as Dean Winchester and Misha Collins as Castiel. SUPERNATURAL is from
Warner Bros. Television in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision, with
executive producers McG (“Charlie’s Angels,” “The O.C.”), Robert Singer
(“Midnight Caller”), Sera Gamble and Phil Sgriccia.
The first episode of season seven entitled “Meet
the New Boss” premiers Friday, September 23 at 9pm. Enjoy the trailer for
season seven of Supernatural!
When I decided to rent Drive Angry from Netflix for a relaxing night of the old ultra-violence, I had no idea that this was a genre film. I was expecting an old style vengeance action flick and what I got was a Grindhouse-inspired supernatural action filk! If you like the recent Grindhouse influenced films by either Rodriguez or Tarantino, you will love director Patrick Lussier’s Drive Angry!
Give my ten reasons to “drive angry” a spin!
Ten – Nic Cage as Milton - the vengeance-filled father, who will stop at nothing to save his granddaughter from a Satanic Cult that plans to sacrifice her - doesn’t overact for a single frame of Drive Angry.
Nine – Tom Atkins as “Cap”, the veteran character actor, who makes all of his small role as an Oaky state police Captain who goes after Milton for killing two fellow officers.
Eight – Amber Heard as Piper, the woman Milton gets a ride from, who wears a pair of “kick ass” jean-shorts through the first twenty-two minutes of Drive Angry and spends the rest of the movie kicking the ass of every stupid male that underestimates the blond beauty.
Seven – William Fitchner as “The Accountant”, who plays the single-minded FBI Agent hunting down Milton with cool zestful humor and violence in Drive Angry.
Six – One of the most over-the-top shootouts ever, where Milton is surrounded in a hotel room by armed men, while he is having sex with a barmaid; Milton shoots all the men all while holding his pistol in one hand, a bottle of whiskey in the other and staying “engaged” with the barmaid throughout!
Five – Milton fires his “old gun” at the false FBI agent while they are driving on a bridge and the agent calmly sits in the seat of the stolen cop car while it flies over the side of the bridge and goes crashing to the ground!
Four – The awesome soundtrack by Composer Michael Wandmacher- who plays all the instruments that includes guitars, cello, electric cello, dulcimers, banjo, guitarviol, and piano - this score is nonstop action led by powerful guitar riffs, an impressive rhythm section and fits the angry violent mood of Drive Angry to perfection!
Three – A fantastic fight scene between Piper and Jonah King - the cult leader who has Milton’s granddaughter – in the back of a moving Winnebago, that climaxes in her jumping out the back window and landing on the hood of her car being driven by Milton!
Two – Delicious dialogue like this between Milton and Piper - Piper: Gimme one good reason I shouldn't shoot you in the face. Milton: I'm driving. Piper: You know what I mean!
One – The fact that this is a grindhouse-style supernatural action flick, that goes light on the exposition and heavy on the harm, honeys and hotrods!
Pour yourself a tall frosty beverage and sit back for a fast fun ride with Drive Angry!
