Review: "The Outsider" - An HBO Original Series Now Available on Blu-ray/Digital and DVD

The Outsider is a mini-series based on the best-selling novel by Stephen King. All ten episodes aired on HBO earlier this year, and now the entire run is coming to Blu-ray/Digital and DVD July 28. This is a spoiler-free review of the series on Blu-ray. What would you do if you were accused of the most horrific crime, the brutal murder of a young boy? All the evidence is stacked against you, including eyewitnesses who place you either with the victim the night of his death, or at the crime scene. You know you’re innocent, and you have an alibi for the time of the crime, with witnesses to back you up. There’s simply no way you could be the perpetrator. It's just not possible to be in two places at the same time. But how do you convince those who doubt your story? That’s the dilemma facing Terry Maitland, educator, little league baseball coach, and pillar of the community. Police detective Ralph Anderson knows Terry. But he’s also a man of the law, and he sees the evide...

Movie Review: "It" Is An Inspired Adaptation That Will Please Current Fans And Create New Ones

IT Starring Jaden Leiberher, Sopphia Lillis,  Jeremy Ray Taylor, Finn Wolfhard,   Chosen Jacobs,  Jack Dylan Grazier and  Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd   Based on the novel by Stephen King Screenplay Chase Palmer & Cary Fukanaga  and Gary Dauberman  Directed by Andy Muschietti Reviewed by Paul & Patrick Gibbs  Out of Four Tim Curry s Pennywise in the 1990 version of Stephen King's   It (Image Courtesy ABC Television) I n the interest of full disclosure, we wish to start this review by stating that we've never found clowns   scary, and we were scared of just about everything when we were children. But we had a night light named "Clownie" who was our protector, and warded off anything that went bump in the night. When we were 8 years old, we won a contest to appear as clowns in the Shrine Circus, and a few of the real clowns liked us so much that we were invited back, and one clown in particular, "Jimbo," became like another...

Movie Review: "The Dark Tower: Plays Like A TV Series Pilot, But Idris Elba Delivers Like A Big Screen Superstar

THE DARK TOWER Starring Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, Claudia Kim, Fran Kranz, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Jackie Earle Haley Based on the novels by Stephen King Screenplay by Akiva Goldsman &Jeff Pinkner and Anders Thomas Jensen & Nikolaj Arcel Directed by Nicolaj Arcel   Out Of Four M atthew McConaughey set out across the desert, and Idris Elba followed.  That, in a nutshell, is what the film adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower gets gloriously right. Idris Elba as Roland of Gilead (Image Courtesy Sony Pictures) In fact, one whole star of this review is for Elba. His Roland of Gilead is like Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in the first X-Men - he's instantly definitive in the role, and leaves the feeling that it's just going to get better as we see more - and whatever complaints you may have with the film, he kills with his heart. It's also important to note that any blame for the film...

Originally planned as a limited run, the series, based on Stephen King's novel and produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, has lasted three seasons -- so it's probably fair to say it had a good run.

"Dome’s event storytelling and multi-platform business model paved the way for more original summer programming with the successful rollouts of Extant and Zoo . We’re excited to present the final chapter in Chester’s Mill as the story comes full circle, with the Dome coming down as dramatically as it went up." We'll find out what happens when the dome finally comes down in the concluding episodes of Under the Dome , airing Thursdays on CBS at 9/8c. ...

CBS Renews 'Under the Dome' and 'Extant'

Well, this is a good day for Steven Spielberg!   Under the Dome and Extant , both shows executive-produced by Spielberg, have been renewed by CBS - Dome for a third season, and Extant for a second season. Under the Dome has been a collaborative effort between author Stephen King (the series is loosely based on his novel of the same name) and Spielberg, with both acting as executive producers.  Extant star Halle Berry shares co-executive producing credit with Spielberg on that series. During its second season, Under the Dome averaged 11 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic, while Extant averaged 8.64 million.  Ratings were up for the Extant season finale, so that probably helped its chances for renewal. CBS Entertainment Chairman Nina Tassler had this to say about the decision: “We’re committed to delivering our viewers and advertisers year-round programming with a wide variety of storytelling.   We continue to see summer as a great place for ...
