Video Game Review: Prepare to Be Addicted to ‘DJ Hero’

5 November 2009 1:27 PM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Activision has been accused of milking the music game genre to the point of absolute exhaustion and with “Guitar Hero: Van Halen,” “Band Hero,” and “Guitar Hero 5” crowding store shelves this holiday season, it’s difficult to disagree. And yet “DJ Hero” somehow finds a way to rejuvenate a genre on the ropes, bringing a new approach to the music game that is remarkably addictive. Put away the drums and the mic (but leave the guitar out) and jump into the world of “DJ Hero”.

Video Game Rating: 4.0/5.0

“DJ Hero” comes with a platter designed to replicate the genuine feel of a crossfader, effect dial controls, and actual turntable. The “record” section of the table includes three buttons - green, red, blue - that should be familiar to anyone who has played a music game before. Hit the button at the right time and make some club-thumping music.

'Ghost Whisperer' and 'Medium' November 6 Previews

31 October 2009 12:10 AM, PDT | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

After an episode paying homage to horror films, "Ghost Whisperer" and "Medium" will return next week with "Devil's Bargain" and "New Terrain" respectively. Melinda is brought to a striptease bar since the ghost had a side job as a dancer while she was alive. Meanwhile, Allison is taken to a bank in her vision.

In "Bargain", Jim, surprised by his colleague's nonchalance to a paranormal encounter, suspects that he is involved in a med student's sudden disappearance. Meanwhile, Melinda senses trouble when Aiden continues to mention his fear of "the shadows." Emily Rose guest stars as Tina Clark, the murder victim who seeks Melinda's help.

In "Terrain", when Allison's car is wrecked, the SUV she rents turns out to have some unusual features, including a satellite radio that allows her to hear other people's conversations. Faith Prince guest stars as Lauren Portman whose daughter, Jamie, causes the damage to Allison's car. »

My Sister's Keeper's Sofia Vassilieva Plays 'My Favorite Scene' with Movieline!

30 October 2009 4:20 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Sofia Vassilieva may face off against exclusively modern-day problems on the big and small screen -- like a parental lawsuit in this summer's My Sister's Keeper and a psychic mother on CBS's Medium -- but in real life she claims to be old-fashioned. The 17-year-old star put aside her A.P. U.S. History homework and talked to Movieline about her favorite film scene, one that she says reflects a long-missed era. »

What's On: Medium of the Living Dead

30 October 2009 3:50 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

If CBS had not revived Medium after NBC snuffed it out last May, fans would have never seen tonight's special Halloween episode in which Allison (Patricia Arquette) is placed into certain scenes of George Romero's classic horror flick Night of the Living Dead. In the sequences, which come to Allison while she's asleep, Arquette takes over the role of Barbara (originally played by Judith O'Dea). Given how frequently Arquette's character lapses into bizarre nightmares though, it would have seemed just as natural for Allison to pop up in Nell or Soul Plane. »

Ahead on Damages: New Relationships, Love Interests

29 October 2009 8:36 AM, PDT | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »

Damages is a legal thriller that focuses on suspense, murder, backstabbing, lies and deceit.

Love doesn't exactly play a major role on this FX drama.

But that may change a bit on season three, as Ebon Moss-Bachrach (pictured) has been cast as a love interest for Ellen Parsons. The actor has guest-starred on episodes of Medium and Fringe.

Meanwhile, look for Keith Carradine’s character to get involved with Glenn Close’s Patty, who saw her marriage fall apart last season.

It's a nice boune back for Carradine, who was recently killed off Dexter. Making love to Patty Hewes seems dangerous, but it's unlikely to result in death. »

Medium: The Complete Fifth Season - DVD Review

26 October 2009 9:05 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

In a show that continues to delight and surprise, the fifth season of Medium is another winning chapter in the chronicles of Allison DuBois a psychic who is also a devoted wife and mother and public servant working for the Da.s office.

EW Exclusive: A first look at the SpongeBob SquarePants wedding!

12 October 2009 4:55 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Admittedly, I don't keep up with SpongeBob SquarePants the way I do with, say, Lost or Medium or Melrose Place. But this exclusive clip from Truth or Square, a one-hour special airing Nov. 6, 8:00 p.m. Edt, on Nickelodeon, has me wondering if maybe I should. I mean, seriously, SpongeBob getting married to Sandy? A primitive multicellular beastie betrothed to a squirrel? I can't say I saw these nuptials coming! Fortunately, a Nickelodeon publicist sent me a release putting the ceremony in context. Truth or Square -- narrated by Ricky Gervais and featuring Rosario Dawson, Craig Ferguson, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, »

[TV] Medium: The Fifth Season

8 October 2009 2:16 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »

Lots of shows have played around with the premonition and psychic vision backbone that forms the procedural skeleton of countless television shows. Whether it’s a live Ouija-board-esque, host talks to dead relative half hour spook show or a 42-minute narrative about solving clues with a sixth sense, there’s a basic requirement for admission to each show: you have to want to believe. Belief as a fundamental tool has seen just as much play on the screen as shows about the skeptics and frauds (House, Psych, Mentalist – or any show that uses deductive reasoning in lieu of supernatural forces). Medium, however, lies firmly on the side of pure unwavering belief. Even when protagonist Allison Dubois temporarily loses her ability the show never ceases to pound home its message “there is validity to psychic abilities”. The series spent a good deal of time mapping out the eccentricities of Allison’s gift and now, »

Medium's jump from NBC to CBS commences tonight with the sixth season premiere episode "Deja Vu All Over Again," which sees a relatively quick return to normalcy for research medium Allison DuBois (Patricia Arquette) after she recovers from a three-month coma. This follows a breakneck fifth season where the sullen protagonist's soul transferred into a dude named Todd. Fancy! Now she's back on her feet, making risky efforts to return to work, and wondering what happened to her psychic power. »

TV Review: ‘Medium’ Jumps Networks, Still Delivers Thrills

25 September 2009 1:24 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – When NBC committed five hours a week to “The Jay Leno Show,” we knew a few corners would have to be cut when it came to scripted programming at the peacock network but no one really expected that the consistent (both creatively and in the ratings) “Medium” would get the axe. NBC’s unwanted program has found a new home on CBS and makes the network jump largely unaltered and ready to keep delivering the thrills that fans expect.

Television Rating: 3.5/5.0 In what would have been a cruel joke on the audience if CBS hadn’t save the day, the fifth season of “Medium” ended with Allison Dubois (Patricia Arquette) in a coma. After playing with the traditional “dream sequence opening” of the show, the sixth season premiere of “Medium” opens with Allison coming back to life. But has she returned the same?

Medium: Season Six Premiere (Reviews)

25 September 2009 7:05 AM, PDT | PopMatters | See recent PopMatters news »

The many threads of trust and logic that inform this "conversation" about time, memory, and illogic are vintage Medium.

When last seen, Allison (Patricia Arquette) was suffering from a brain tumor and doing her best not to have surgery. As her devoted husband Joe (Jake Weber) worried and did his best to save her life, she was more interested in preserving her "gift," the one that for five seasons on NBC had her dreaming of murder scenes. A onetime paralegal, Allison found her calling, as it were, in helping to catch killers (apparently plentiful in Phoenix) if also complicating her home life. That was then. Now moved to CBS, Medium opens its sixth season -- with an episode uninventively… »
