Mini Recap — The Mentalist 2.07 "Red Bulls"
12 November 2009 10:36 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
The big news tonight on The Mentalist episode "Red Bulls" is that Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) and Agent Sam Bosco (Terry Kinney) work together on a case. The episode begins with a tense scene involving Bosco's team, busting into an abandoned house they believe houses a kidnap victim and her captors. Guns drawn, they rush into a crowded room–populated by Agent Teresa Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) Cbi team, including Jane. After a tense moment of adrenaline and demanding to know what the other is doing there, Jane finally gets them all to lower their guns.
Turns out Lisbon and her team were asked to investigate a report of a dead body in the abandoned house. The body turns out to be a young man who had been kidnapped years earlier. Cbi boss Minelli (Gregory Itzin) agrees with Jane that the coincidences are too great between the two kidnap cases, and »

Mini Recap — The Mentalist 2.06 "Black Gold and Red Blood"
5 November 2009 11:19 PM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
Tonight on The Mentalist, "Black Gold and Red Blood", Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) once again defies people's expectations. After Agent Bosco (Terry Kinney) discovers the bug that Jane planted in his office, he has Jane arrested. As usual, Jane isn't remorseful in the least bit and doesn't seem to be all that fearful about jail time. Turning down Bosco's deal to quit the Cbi, Jane heads off to the penitentiary. Not considering himself a cop, Jane refuses protective custody and gets put in with the general population.
Once we get a look at Jane's murderer roommate, if we weren't already thinking it, we get the idea Jane may have made a serious error. After all, Jane is very pretty and not at all violent, which is not the best combination in prison. Though Jane makes friends with his cellmate with a little psychotherapy, he realizes he may have been a »

Alynda Wheat's Beat Cop: 'The Mentalist' and 'Castle,' tricks and treats
30 October 2009 4:07 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
I love Halloween episodes. They’re less cheesy than Valentine’s Day drivel, and generally funnier than Christmas and Thanksgiving episodes (plus, we don’t have to deal with guest-star relatives). This All Hallows Eve week we got two gems: The Mentalist and Castle. Since y’all always say I give The Mentalist and Criminal Minds short shrift, I’ll start with the faux-psychic (particularly since there was no meeting of the Minds this week). Anybody who’s been watching procedurals as long as we have (I know you’re out there, McMillan & Wife fans) has to appreciate the occasional »

Mini Recap — The Mentalist 2.05 "Red Scare"
29 October 2009 10:19 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
The Mentalist "Red Scare" begins with architect Alan Foster (David Kilde) working alone, late at night in an historic home. He hears a noise, then sees flashing lights behind a set of French doors. He moves closer, the doors open, and we see a shocked and frightened look on his face.
The next scene begins with Foster's body on the ground, dead after falling–or being thrown–out the upstairs window. The Cbi team arrive on the scene, and thus begins the spooky Halloween ghost story installment of The Mentalist.
Deputy Nick Fisher of the local small town police informs the Cbi that they've never had a violent crime before. All the players, even the deputy, seem suspicious as the plot moves on. Agent Lisbon (Robin Tunney) brings in a local thief who was on the property stealing construction tools the night of the murder. The thief saw Foster's wife »

Recap — The Mentalist 2.01 "Redemption"
16 October 2009 12:40 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
The Mentalist season two opener, "Redemption", begins with Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) and Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) arriving at a crime scene in a department store. The police officer briefing them thanks them for helping the homicide department out on their case load, and then proceeds to mock Jane for "that Esp crap".
Of course Jane always takes any criticism as a challenge. The officer shows them the body of a 34 year old man, and tells him that store security was able to gather up all of the people in the area at the time of the murder. Jane kneels down by the body, literally sniffing around the crime scene. Asked tauntingly by the officer if the victim told him whodunit, Jane replies with a list of facts about the victim–including that he was a ladies man, went after moneyed cougars with moderate success, and played the guitar–not well. »

Mini Recap — The Mentalist 2.04 "Red Menace"
15 October 2009 10:53 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
This week on The Mentalist, episode "Red Menace", the Cbi investigate the murder of a lawyer, Gordon Hodge, who has only one client–a biker mob called the Sinner Saints. Lisbon (Robin Tunney), Rigsby (Owain Yeoman), and Jane (Simon Baker) interview the wife and son, who don't seem to know much about Hodge's shady clients, though they do enjoy the lavish lifestyle those clients provide for.
Jane and Lisbon go into the lion's den of Sinner Saints and question their leader Von McBride (Mark Pellegrino). They discover that Hodge was living the Sinner part of the biker lifestyle, partying and doing drugs. Since Hodge dodged a conviction on a drug bust, Lisbon and Jane fish with the idea of his being an informant on the Sinner Saints. McBride doesn't buy it, and doesn't bite when Jane suggests there might be another informant. McBride doesn't ruffle easily, even when an irate »

DVD Review: 'The Mentalist - The Complete First Season'
9 October 2009 10:30 AM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
Recently released on DVD is the first season of the most-watched new show of the 2008/2009 season, The Mentalist. Each show begins with the definition of a 'mentalist' as a master manipulator of thoughts and behavior. Simon Baker (in an Emmy nominated role) plays the title role as Patrick Jane, a consultant with the fictitious California Bureau of Investigation. Working with Cbi Agent Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) and a team of agents (Tim Kang, Owain Yeoman and Amanda Righetti), Jane uses his superb observational and mental abilities to close high profile homicide cases. But Jane wasn't always a justice seeker; he used to use his amazing abilities for self profit, posing as a celebrity psychic and preying on those that wish to utilize the skills he purported to have. He made a fortune doing this, but in the process, caught the eye of a serial killer named Red John. This nefarious »

4 October 2009 11:10 PM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
The next movie in the Friday The 13th series has received an official release date, and yes…you’ve guessed it! It will be on Friday 13th August 2010!
The last film, released in cinemas earlier this year topped the Us box office during its first weekend with $42m (£26m) in ticket sales.
The sequel will be titled simply Friday The 13th Part 2. It’s said to be a big landmark for the franchise, because it’s actually the 13th film in the series ever to be made.
In the last movie, five teens – Wade, Ritchie, Amanda, Mike and Whitney travel to Camp Crystal Lake on the hunt for marijuana where the group is brutally murdered by Jason Voorhees. Six weeks later, Whitney’s brother Clay goes to Crystal Lake searching for his missing sister, distributing flyers with Whitney’s picture on it to the locals. Clay eventually discovers the »

Mini Recap — The Mentalist 2.02 "The Scarlet Letter"
1 October 2009 10:09 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
What better way to show the irreverent nature of Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) than to start off The Mentalist "The Scarlet Letter" with a yawn. Apparently sleeping through Lisbon's (Robin Tunney) briefing in the car, Jane awakens to find the Cbi team on a bridge in Sacramento. He's quickly briefed by Cho (Tim Kang) and Rigsby (Owain Yeoman) that a state senator's aide named Kristin Marley has been found dead underneath the bridge. Since she was rumored to be having an affair with the senator's husband, it's not clear at first whether it's a suicide or murder.
Throughout the investigation, Jane and the Cbi team find out several things about Kristin's personal life. First, that her step-brother was trying to force her into being his alibi for a car-jacking. Second, that she was a romantic who dreamed about being a senator and traveling to far-off places. She collected mementos from her travels, »

[TV] The Mentalist: The Complete First Season
30 September 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
At first glance CBS psychic crime drama The Mentalist appears to be a humorless, CSI-ified [read: formulaic, predictable] version of the USA comedies Monk and Psych. The idea is the same: extraordinarily astute, "psychic" detective helps a skeptic and sometimes-bitter police force solve crimes by making ridiculous assertions and backing them up using an absurd chain of reasoning based on evidence that only they could detect. Monk and Psych are both quality shows, so why is The Mentalst so bad? The problem is that The Mentalist isn't simply a hackneyed iteration of another show. Rather, it's a Frankenstein monster; a horrible combination of crime show elements, all of them diluted to create some kind of super-likable "light drama". When thinking about it, I imagine the creative meetings for Mentalist to be a lot like the meeting when tobacco companies came up with the idea of "light" cigarettes. Mentalist is bad for you. It's bad for your head. »

Mini Recap — The Mentalist 2.01 "Redemption"
24 September 2009 9:34 PM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
The season premiere episode of The Mentalist, "Redemption", begins with our favorite master of observation Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) up to his old tricks. The Cbi are called in to help out the homicide department on a department store murder. Detective Lisbon (Robin Tunney) warns Jane to take his theatrical antics down a notch (or three), but Jane's never been one to listen to authority.
Jane gathers together the witnesses (suspects), and in Agatha Christie style, narrows them down with random questions and observations of their behavior. Using a trick he pulled on Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti) last season, he uses the guilty party's reactions to his movements to discover the murder weapon and the killer. All in a day's work.
Back at the office, Jane and Lisbon get called on the carpet for Jane's unorthodox and unprofessional crime solving methods. Minelli (Gregory Itzin) tells them they're too focused on »

Starlets were out in force last night to celebrate Nylon's special TV issue. 90210's AnnaLynne McCord and Shenae Grimes posed on the carpet, as did Melrose Place's Jenna Dewan. Anna Paquin is the magazine's cover girl, and she was the center of attention as she chatted with her fiance and True Blood costar Stephen Moyer. While his next project is the vampire movie Priest with Cam Gigandet, Stephen and Anna gave an interview appearing in the upcoming issue about their HBO show and their views on nudity and sex. Here's more: Anna on her nude True Blood scenes: "I don’t think a naked body is particularly shocking or interesting. . . . It’s not the culture I was raised in. I was not brought up in the United States. I don’t share the [attitude] that you can have graphic violence, but - God forbid - you see someone’s nipples. »

Will Friday The 13th 2 Take Place In The Winter?
19 June 2009 2:16 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
While Friday The 13th may officially be out on DVD this week, Ryan Rotten over at Shock Till You Drop decided to check in with producer Brad Fuller on the status of the sequel, currently being penned by returning writers Damian Shannon & Mark Swift. "If we're going to do another Friday the 13th we want to present something audiences haven't seen before and one of the things they haven't seen before is Jason in the snow. We just want to bring things they haven't seen before, but that doesn't mean the [entire] movie will not be set in the snow."
Despite the success of the movie on opening weekend, a sequel has still not officially been green-lit, but if they were to go into production shortly, Fuller admits they're aiming for a August 13th, 2010 release date.

[DVD Review] Friday the 13th: Killer Cut
17 June 2009 3:05 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
When Marcus Nispel resurrected the Friday the 13th saga, it wasn’t immediately clear how much distance he was keeping between his new film and the old series. Even after years of wretched sequels mixed with good ones, the 2009 refresher still feels far too stale. Nispel fought hard to “forget” everything after Part II but in doing so lost the to gauge what’s new and different for the series. Jason may be leaner, the style sharper and more visceral, and the teenagers as stupid as ever, but this time Jason’s rebirth has more than its fair share of complications.
To its credit, Friday the 13th leaps into action right from the start. Instead of the introduction period which helped build up the original or slow down the second, this time the nudity and streams of blood come with a pleasing immediacy.

Blu-Ray Review: Jason Voorhees Returns in Killer Cut of ‘Friday the 13th’
17 June 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The reboot of “Friday the 13th” was another financially successful notch in the belt of Platinum Dunes, the film company behind the remakes of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “The Hitcher,” and “The Amityville Horror”. Making $90 million worldwide and more domestically than any previous Jason Voorhees movie (that didn’t include Freddy Krueger), “Friday the 13th” has a following that will be ecstatic with the excellent Blu-Ray release for the slasher title.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0 The Blu-Ray of “Friday the 13th” delivers everything fans could ask for. Not only do they present a longer and better cut of the film in the 9-minutes-longer “Extended Cut,” but the special features enhance the “Friday the 13th” experience and the technical transfer is nearly flawless.
Friday the 13th was released on Blu-Ray on June 16th, 2009.

As for the film itself, my response to “Friday the 13th” is mixed at best. I love »

America Olivo in Playboy
15 May 2009 9:44 AM, PDT | HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news »
Thanks Fangoria for publishing the America Olivo Playboy Cover and nothing else! That is about as useless as clothes on Christmas. Even bigger thanks to Gunnabee.com for publishing the censored pictures, that is as exciting as getting a handjob from an old woman. And what is the deal with Fangoria announcing that Olivo is going to be in Playboy in the first place? They sure didn't announce that fellow Friday the 13th star Amanda Righetti appeared nude in 2002's Angel Blade (Nsfw pictures here) and that Willa Ford aka the Water Skiing Chick in F13 already appeared in the magazine (Nsfw pictures here). »
