If you expected “90210” to bring a bunch of surprises, find
out it did. Although not a bunch and just a couple, the “Beverly Hills” spin off managed to surprise
its viewers, and not necessarily in a pleasant way.
On the one hand, the plot is so familiar, one would actually
take it for a “Beverly Hills”
episode if the faces weren’t new. Surprise! On the other hand, an up-to-date
posh soap about fabulously rich teenagers can’t possibly feature the same old means
of communication or transportation or whatever.
The hippest hairdos, the most stylish clothes, the very...

Although much likened to “The Sopranos” because of the
somewhat similar atmosphere and the plot that focuses on an outlaw family, the
new drama series “Sons Of Anarchy” certainly does not lack originality.
The new FX series involves plenty of brutality, immorality
and motorcycle gangs, but manages to seduce and surprise from the very first

Alan Ball’s “True Blood,” which premieres on HBO on Sunday,
offers a different view of vampires than the one we are used to.
The dark creatures are not portrayed as a threat to human
kind anymore, but rather as outcasts who try to integrate in the society.
Now that a Japanese substitute for blood exists, the
vampires in the small town of Bon Temps, Louisiana, do not need to feed on
human blood to survive. So they finally are able to come out publicly, even if
only at night. But even though they do not represent a danger anymore, humans
still despise, fear and hate them. Erm, like...

The star movie of this summer movie season was definitely "The Dark Knight.” The Christopher Nolan-directed superhero movie did way much better than anticipated as it passed the $500 million milestone and settled around $505 million. As for the 2008 summer movie season, despite the fact that it included the second-biggest Hollywood movie and the ticket prices were sky-high, it wasn’t all that great.
