At today’s NBCUniversal Summer Press Tour, Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif talked about their new series Botched By Nature, an eight episode program which has them traveling through the country and meeting people who have had their share of challenges due to genetics or traumatic incidents (one patient, as seen from the series’ trailer, was struck by lightning).
The intriguing aspect behind KT Tunstall’s musicianship lies in her ability to blend rock and melodic pop into one delicious pot of gumbo (sorry I’m currently in a New Orleans state of mind). And whether you love Tunstall’s biggest hits (“Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” “Suddenly I See”) or love her resonant, deeper cuts (try “Feel It All” for size), you’ll find another side of Tunstall with her single “Maybe It’s A Good Thing.”
New episodes of Chrisley Knows Best , now in its fourth season, begins Tuesday, August 23 with back-to-back episodes (USA Network). The season received an extension to bring this season up to a total of 26 episodes, and the show has also been renewed for season five, which airs in 2017.
“As a writer, you’re always an observer,” says Sian Heder, an Orange Is The New Black scribe who’s the director/writer of the new film Tallulah. Centering on an impulsive yet often well meaning young woman (Ellen Page is Tallulah) who steals a baby from a neglectful mother (Tammy Blanchard) at a New York Hotel, the feature is an uncompromising tale that blends melodrama, dark humor, pathos, and a sliver of fantasy into the mix. Allison Janney co-stars as Margo, the mother of Tallulah’s boyfriend (Evan Jonigkeit).
Opening August 5 in select theaters and on Netflix, The Little Prince is an adaptation of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s transcendent tale of adventure, love, and family. Director Mark Osborne, best known for his 2008 feature Kung Fu Panda, crafts this adaptation with a modern day spin, as a little girl (Interstellar’s Mackenzie Foy) befriends her next door neighbor (Jeff Bridges), a retired aviator who refuses to grow up.
I really love Warner Archive’s latest Blu-ray release Dark Passage, a film noir about Vincent Parry (Humphrey Bogart), a recently escaped convict who is trying to prove he didn’t murder his wife. Lauren Bacall is Irene Jansen, a rich young woman who has her own reasons for giving temporary shelter in her tony residence.
Most of director Luc Besson’s body of work is praised for its visually eye-catching action set pieces and epic scope, but it’s also obvious that his celebration of strong minded and courageous women is a focal point in his storytelling.
The talented actors and producers of  Bones made what one would assume is their final appearance at San Diego’s Comic-Con as they previewed the show’s 12th and final season. First off, showrunner/executive producer Michael Peterson said two recurring characters will be killed off on the final season, but the all of the actors featured on the panel (Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Michaela Conlin, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, Eugene Byrd, and John Boyd) will have their characters alive and kicking by the series finale.
Don’t let the zombie thriller aspect fool you, as Train To Busan is actually a horror thriller with tons of heart and soul. Director Yeon Sang-Ho emphasizes melodramatic elements into his finely tuned and propulsive narrative, giving viewers a first rate moviegoing experience.
