Seinfeld Cast Reunion

The four major cast members of Seinfeld will return for a reunion, but not for the Seinfeld show. Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Michael Richards will guest star on a couple of  fall ’09 episodes of HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Curb Your Enthusiasm stars Larry David who helped create the cult classic Seinfeld.

Details are limited to just the actors appearances at this point, but it is sure to be a fantastic treat for all of you die hard Seinfeld fans who are still watching in syndication,  or on your collection of dvds.

LOST: Who Is Daniel Faraday?

Last night’s episode certainly had a Daniel focus. Where were Jack and Kate we wondered, as each segment came back around to Daniel.

The creators had indicated that last season and this season we would begin to see answers to the many, many questions this series has presented. Based on last night’s episode, it would seem that Daniel Faraday is as important to the reality that is LOST, as are Benjamin Linus and John Locke.

The introduction of the H bomb was an uninteresting turn of events for this viewer, as was the US military who supposedly brought it. However, the recognition of Charles Widmore as a young man certainly caught more than a fleeting glance.

I wonder though, will they ever explain the giant 4 toed foot? How any shipments get in and out of this unfindable island? Who Jacob is? And why the hell dead people there interact with the living? Ah, all in good time I’m afraid. One slow week at a time. Pity, I could get hit by a bus before I learn the mysteries of the island.

Update: Could Charlotte be Daniel’s daughter?  Perhaps with Theresa?

Valkyrie: Tom Cruise Does The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos

Tune in and turn on, Tuesday, December 9th at 11pm EST on CBC, as Tom Cruise is interviewed by George Stroumboulopoulus, on his new WWII movie, Valkyrie.

Valkyrie is a based on true life events of the attempted assasination of Adolf Hitler lead by Cruise’s character, Col. Claus von Stauffenberg. This film has been plagued by bad press, including the controversy raised by the German Government surrounding shooting sites for the movie and Cruise’s religion.

With a Christmas release date, Valkyrie is positioned to be an Oscar contender. Check out The Hour tomorrow night to see what Tom Cruise has to say about this film, and to see if it is Old Tom Cruise who shows up, or whacky New Tom Cruise.

Trailer Park Boys – Finale

Tune in tonight on Showcase (Canada) for the series finale, a must see by Canadians, and those who wish they were

Though this is the series finale, there is apparently a 2nd movie in the works due out in October 2009.

“When asked what made the show successful, Canada’s favourite fictional felons sum it up pretty simply: “There’s a lot of heart in the show. People can relate to the characters. It’s just one big family. It’s like Little House on the Prairie from hell, with lots of cursing and swearing,” says Tremblay. ” – Raju Mudhar – The Star.

Thank you Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles – for all of the laughs, you boys ‘dun us proud!

Sex and the City – Movie Review by RNW

As with my Indiana Jones review, I cannot claim to be a member of this iconic following. While I’ve atleast seen episodes of SATC in passing, I am not up to speed on all of the ongoings of the characters from the series.I took in this movie with some girlfriends whose husbands refused to take them (presumably Reel Ninja could be a party to those husbands and just prior to the previews beginning I turned to the girls and asked if anyone knew how the series ended, just in case there was some necessary tidbit that would tie the series to the movie. Nothing too unexpected, even in my sporadic viewing.

I must share with you that I once overheard Sarah Jessica Parker‘s face described as looking like a foot. That thought always makes me laugh. I was more interested in the delectable Chris Noth (Mr. Big), of the Law and Order series fame. Mr. Big did not disappoint… nor did any of the other core characters, all true to form.

There were quite a few chuckles and a sprinkle of boisterous laughter moments in the movie, but truly driven to the ladies in the crowd. I can’t imagine Reel Ninja busting a gut to the humour as I doubt he could relate.

If you’re a series fan, definitely spend the money and see it with some girlfriends… DO NOT drag your male partner, buddy, brother or otherwise… unless you’re planning on making it up to them immediately following the credits!

I give this movie 6.5 ‘Manolo’s’ out of 10.

Prime-Time Streaming In Canada

Listen Up Canadians, your frustrated pleas have been answered. No more will you be denied access to streaming video online from your favourite US tele-dramas! Well atleast for the time being you will have access to those offered by ABC, including LOST, Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy.

Broadcasting giant, ABC, has finally signed a deal with CTV to allow access to streaming ABC shows through the CTV website. This long awaited initiative was bolstered by the sign on of advertising sponsors, Duracell and Volkswagen.

Its Oprah’s turn!!

Oprah Winfrey is inviting Tom Cruise back for an interview and this time, it is to celebrate his 25 years in the business. The first part of the interview will be shot in her studio and the second part will be shot in Tom Cruise’s Telluride home. If some of you remember, Tom Cruise behaved a little immaturely by jumping on Oprah’s sofas during the show and confessing his love for Katie Holmes and then dragging the obviously embarrassed Ms. Holmes to the stage.

I bet Oprah is going to wear her dirtiest shoes for the interview so she can jump on HIS sofa. What do you think?

Corner Gas Closing

Brent Butt announced this morning on Canada AM that they will begin taping the final season of Corner Gas this summer. He made note that there would be no fancy final episode, just the standard 22 minutes of hilarity.

When asked about the possibility of a Corner Gas The Movie, Butt did not shoot the idea down and commented that it had be tossed around already and he was definitely in if it were a go.

Prison Break Loses It’s Head

I’m not sure that I can find the appropriate words to describe my thoughts surrounding Prison Break’s intention to bring back the character Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) in the forth season, now that the issues with her contract have been resolved.

If you are a Prison Break fan, which we stopped being in season 2, you may recall that Sara was decapitated in season 3. Both Lincoln and LJ confirmed that Sara was dead, and Lincoln is shown glancing at her severed head in the box.

The producers are claiming that it wasn’t Sara’s head afterall, and that Lincoln just glanced in the box, in the dark, and couldn’t really make a positive ID.

My thoughts are that this show has lost all credibility, and can now consider itself as bad as the soaps, where characters make miraculous recoveries from certain death, and many times return from the grave as often as they wed one another. Why does Hollywood treat us so disrespectfully? Surely we are intelligent enough to see through this pathetic attempt to regain this shows lost ratings!

Corner Gas

Things can get pretty peaceful in a sleepy Prairie town. But that’s they way they prefer it in Dog River.

We really love this show and it has been one of the funniest we have seen in a while. “Corner Gas” follows the life of Brent LeRoy (Brent Butt), a small gas station owner and the adjoining coffee shop owner Lacey Burrows played by Gabrielle Miller, his best friend Hank Yarbo (Fred Ewanuick), police officers Davis Quinton (Lorne Cardinal) and Karen Pelly (Tara Spencer-Nairn) and retail assistant Wanda (Nancy Robertson).

Corner Gas co-stars fellow Saskatchewan natives and Gemini winners Eric Peterson (“Trudeau”) and Janet Wright (“The Perfect Storm”), play Brent’s parents.

Corner Gas an award-winning Canadian sitcon which premiered in 2004. Deriving its name from the roadside gas station located in the fictional town of ‘Dog River’, the series is filmed in Rouleau, Saskatchewan.

In the following weeks, We will be showcasing some of the stars of Corner Gas. If you have not seen the show and would like more about this really funny show, visit Corner Gas Online!
