Hey, “24” fans! Got a question for Agent Renee Walker?

April 2, 2009 /

Those who block out a part of their afternoon to watch their “stories” may best know Annie Wersching for her role as Amelia Joffee on “General Hospital,” and if you’re like our man Ross Ruediger, then a look at her resume will remind you of her role as a white supremacist on a very special episode of “Boston Legal.” For the most part, however, the average Premium Hollywood reader will look at this woman and say, “Hey, that’s Jacqueline Bauer!”

(John Paulsen will say, “Hey, that’s Freckles,” of course, but, then, he’s always been a little contrary.)

“What? An interview? Look, pal, I’m kind of in the middle of something here…”

Bullz-Eye will be talking to the lovely Ms. Wersching in conjunction with the appearance of “24” on our upcoming TV Power Rankings, and we’d like to give the dedicated readers of the show’s blog the chance to ask her some questions. Whether they’re about her characters, her experiences on the show, or even some other item on her resume, just leave them in the comments section and we’ll add ’em to our list. Then check back here and on Bullz-Eye.com on April 15th to read Agent Renee Walker’s responses…and, of course, to find out where “24” turns up in the TV Power Rankings!

Trailer Alert: “Bruno”

April 2, 2009 /

Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Bruno” has been in the news a lot lately – from the sneak peek that was shown at this year’s SXSW festival to the recent announcement that the MPAA had slapped the film with an NC-17 rating – so it makes sense that Universal would want to release a trailer as soon as possible. The international red band trailer has just popped up online, and while I don’t think it looks as funny as “Borat,” I’m more than prepared to be proven wrong. Check it out below and let us know what you think.

“Breaking Bad” gets greenlight for third season

April 2, 2009 /

Good news for fans of Walter White. AMC has renewed the chemistry-teacher-turns-meth-cook drama for a third season.

Breaking Bad is AMC’s second straight original hit, following the critics’ darling Mad Men. From creator Vince Gilligan, Breaking Bad fuses comedy and drama and tackles the lines between morality and criminality.

While it may be tough to root for a meth cook, the fact that White (Bryan Cranston) has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has a wife, a handicapped child and another baby on the way, it’s understandable that he’d turn to cooking crystal meth to make sure his kids can afford to go to college since he won’t be there to help.

The second season is even better than the first, and that’s quite the feat. I would like the creators to have a plan in place to wrap up the series in a season or two — this is not the kind of story that you want to drag out for seven or eight seasons. For the neophytes, I’d recommend this series to anyone who likes “The Wire” or “The Shield.”

Don’t miss Will Harris’ interview with Aaron Paul (who plays Walter’s partner in crime, Jesse Pinkman).

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! – Season 2

April 2, 2009 /

There aren’t many shows that can, in the span of fifteen minutes, consistently make you want to laugh, hurl, and stare blankly at the screen in equal measure. As such, “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” continues to deserve our respect, but it also can prove to be an extremely frustrating viewing experience if you’re not on precisely the same comedic wavelength as Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim. Though comparisons to “Mr. Show” are inevitable, particularly when both David Cross and Bob Odenkirk make appearances, Tim and Eric tend to get way, way, way out there with their comedic concepts. The cable-access feel of the show aids them in getting away with any oddities their minds can conceive, whether it’s Richard Dunn interviewing Dave Navarro, the comedy stylings of James Quall, or the gospel according to Dr. Steve Brule (played by John C. Reilly), but for every hilarious TV show parody like “The Snuggler” are funny, there’s a too-gross bit like Bradley Michael Fahrtz advertising the Poop Tube. As a result, you find yourself both attracted to and repelled by the show, which is probably exactly the sort of reaction that Tim and Eric were looking for. As for the DVD set, there are a wealth of special features, including deleted scenes, outtakes, footage from the show’s official fan gathering (Awesomecon 2008), and a 45-minute-long featurette which documents the guys’ 2008 tour. But, really, the whole set is worth getting just so you can watch and listen to “Petite Feet” over and over again.

American Idol goes a little GaGa

April 2, 2009 /

Last night’s “American Idol” results show was a bit different than the past two weeks, because there was no mentor working with the contestants, and instead the theme was popular iTunes downloads. That meant guest appearances from #1 artist Lady GaGa and also from last season’s Idol, David Cook.

But first they recapped the previous night’s performances, along with snippets of the judges’ comments. Here was a gem from Paula that I forgot to write about yesterday, when she was draping praise over Adam Lambert: “True genius does not fulfill expectations, true genius shatters expectations.” Ugh. How much did you hire someone to write that for you, Paula?

Then after showing a typical day in the life of the Idol hopefuls, there was a group performance of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'” and it wasn’t awful. Scott even got to play the piano instead of wandering around the stage aimlessly and trying not to trip on national TV. And Adam got to do a real scream, not a forced one.

Then, on to business….Ryan Seacrest broke them up into groups of three–Kris, Matt and Megan; Adam, Lil and Allison; and Scott, Danny and Anoop. He asked which of them we thought was the Bottom 3. I knew better…there would be one from each group to make up the bottom. Then David Cook arrived to sing his new single, “Come Back To Me” and was presented with a platinum album. He started tearing up, and for good reason…he told Seacrest that in 2006 he sold 1000 copies of an album he released on his own, and now he sells 1 million copies of his major label debut in 3 months, thanks to the power of the show. Damn.
