“A man’s reach generally exceeds his grasp” – Tesla

Limitless was a suprise film to say the least, the original trailer was dismissed by most who viewed it (including myself)  as it did not properly explain the films plot, a man who discovers a medication which allows a person to access all of their intellect and achive superhuman cognative ability.  A film, which while having its flaws was much more interesting and exciting than the trailer was able to explain. That being said I really enjoyed the film and its premise, I highly reccomend it.

The 2011 film directed by Neil Burger (which in turn was based on Alan Glynn’s novel “The Dark Fields”), which has been adapted into a TV show.  A show which as so many before it (Almost Human, Person of Interest, the Blacklist, and upcoming series Minorit Report, Blindspot, and Lucifer, among others) has taken on the genre guise of a cop procedual premise.

Despite the overused premise of people with ordinary people using extraordinary abilities to help solve crimes, suprisingly the series is retain the services of Bradley Cooper who starred in the original film as progtagonist Edward Mora, as a reccuring character.  (the show is being produced by Cooper, along with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. ALong with Director Burger also returning to helm the pilot episode and possibly more.

“The Muppets return to prime time with a contemporary, documentary-style show that—for the first time ever—will explore the Muppets’ personal lives and relationships, both at home and at work, as well as romances, break-ups, achievements, disappointments, wants and desires; a more adult Muppet show, for kids of all ages.”

After being absent from the small screen for over a decade the loveable Muppets will be returning to television this fall on ABC.  According to EW, the ABC series will examine the lives of the Muppets behind the scene, adopting a mockumentary approach as they endeavor to kick off a brand new Muppet production. Bill Prady (The Big Bang Theory) – is developing and co-writing the new show’s pilot with Bob Kushell (Anger Management), who will serve as showrunner.

The Muppets will premiere on Tuesday, September 22, 2015 at 8pm on ABC.

scream tv series official trailer now online

I have always love the scream franchise of films.  Unlike almost all other apparent opinion of other critics I even very much enjoyed the third film, I though it was better than the sequel, I even enjoyed the fourth film.  And even though rumors have speculated that "ghostface"  will actual now incorporate supernatural aspects (possibly become an actual ghost in some fashion)  I am still interested in how the new MTV series will explore and hopefully reinvent its previous history.  And now soon we will have a tv series.  check out the new trailer...does it make you scream or sign in contempt?
