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
episode.
It’s like the Sopranos lost their elegant suits, as well as
their sense of humor, got dressed in jeans and leather and jumped on

ironically called Charming.

With the Labor Day week-end marking the end of this year’s
summer movie season, the big-screen films that have hit the cinemas since May
are now counting their blessings. And their domestic earnings.
Ben Stiller’s “Tropic Thunder,” which stars Jack Black and
Robert Downey Jr. in an action comedy about a group of actors who set out to
make the biggest-budget war film and end up, after the director refuses to stop
shooting, in the jungles of Southeast Asia, was this week-end’s number 1. That
makes three week-ends in a row for the Hollywood
satire. Furthermore, it makes “Tropic...

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
