"The Tomorrow People" the upcoming CW network show brought to us from the producers of "Arrow" and "The Vampires Diaries". This series looks like the type of series that anyone who was a fan of "Heroes" and "Alphas" would enjoy. Starring Robbie Amell (cousin of "Arrow's" Stephen Amell) and Mark Pellegrino ("Lost", "Supernatural").   

 

 

                                                                                

 

"The Originals" another CW network show, this one spinning off of the popular series "The Vampire Diaries". This is the tale of one of the original vampires Klaus who returns to New Orleans which is has become a haven for vampires and the back drop for a war that's brewing between them and the witches who inhabit the city.

Newly released today on DVD/Bluray Season one of the hit CW network television series "Arrow". Season two promises to up the ante with guest appearances of characters fresh from the DC Universe. So far there have been three notable characters mentioned Amanda Waller, The Bronze Tiger, and The Black Canary. The latter who was seen in last week's extended trailer and this week's promo trailer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                              

                                                                  

                                                                           

 

 

 

Also just released on DVD/Bluray is Season 8 of  "Supernatural", one of the most intensely kickass, horrifyingly fun shows on television. I suspect that the only reason that a show this edgy and unflinching badass is still on network television is that despite being a really good action horror series is that it also has a huge cult following.

 

 

                                                                               

 

Available today on DVD/Bluray is Brad Pitt's zombie action film "World War Z". Perhaps it should be an action zombie film especially since these zombies are not your usual slow lumbering ghouls as you can see in this trailer.

 

 

                                                                                   

 

"Sleepy Hollow" the new Fox television series from the writers and producers of "Star Trek" debuted last night and since J.J. Abrams is said to be involved expect this show to have some legs.

 

 

                                                                              

                                    

Weekend Box Office - "Riddick" was number one bringing in $18.7 million, "Lee Daniels' The Butler" was number two with $8.9 million, the comedy "Instructions Not Included" debuted at number three with $8.1 million.

 

 

                                                                           

 

"Star Trek Into Darkness" is debuts today on DVD/Bluray and despite less than glowing praise from critics for the movie J.J. Abrams always manages to take on a wild ride. This is a prime opportunity to see it if you haven't already.  

 

 

                                                                              

 

 

                                                                             

 

 Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D". premieres Tuesday, Sept. 24 on ABC. The pilot episode is directed by none other than Joss Whedon who also directed the motion picture Marvel's "The Avengers". 'Nuff said.       

 

 

                                                                          

 

Nickelodeon debuts season two of "The Legend of Korra", the very worthy successor to "Avatar: The Last Airbender" this coming Friday. 

 

 

                                                                            

 

Season two of the CW network's hit series "Arrow" debuts on October 13 and the trailer which premiered at Comic Con recaps the first season and gives a us a taste of what to expect in the upcoming season.

 

 

                                                                      

 

Weekend Box Office - "One Direction: This Is Us" was number one bringing in $17 million, "Lee Daniels' The Butler" was number two with $14.7 million, and "We're The Millers" rounded out the top three with $12.6 million. Notable mention goes to "Disney's Planes" which was the number four movie, but nonetheless a good movie to see on a holiday weekend even though it was outside the top three.

 

                                                          

                                                                                

 

 

Arriving on DVD/Bluray October 25 is the documentary "Necessary Evil: The Supervillains of DC Comics". The documentary explores what makes a great villain and how a great villain is what makes a hero great.

 

 

 

                                                                                 

 

 

 

 

One of the few movies coming out for this upcoming weekend is "Bounty Killer". The movie seems to be a indie low budget sci-fi based action movie which probably won't make the top three, but I find the premise and action in the trailer compelling. Besides, who knows, life is full of surprises. Check out the trailer.

 

                                                     

                                                                             

 

Arriving on DVD/ Bluray today is "Now You See Me". Despite a stellar cast and brilliant plot device the movie received very little love from the critics. However, the movie did well enough at the box office to earn a potential sequel. Go figure.
