DVD Review: The Last Days of Disco (Criterion Collection)
25 August 2009 12:58 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I had no idea what to expect from The Last Days of Disco. My experience with Kate Beckinsale began with Pearl Harbor and only goes back as far as Brokedown Palace (a film I don't even remember her in). Chloe Sevigny I didn't really know until 2003's Shattered Glass and have hardly gotten to know her since, outside of her role in Zodiac. On top of all that I had not seen a Whit Stillman feature. So to say I was approaching this one cold is an understatement. Actually, it was as if I was seeing Beckinsale and Sevigny for the very first time as they don't even resemble the actresses they have become, especially Beckinsale. Taking place in the early 1980s, The Last Days of Disco centers on Charlotte (Beckinsale) and Alice (Sevigny), two recent Ivy League college grads working in book publishing and spending their evenings in Manhattan's Studio 54-esque night club. »

[TV] The Middleman: The Complete Series
1 August 2009 12:14 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
The Middleman missed its target – but only in one way: its audience. Why The Middleman ended up on ABC Family I’ll never understand. Finally a show comes along that caters to the superhero-quipping, sci-fi-obsessed, movie-worshipping crowd and it goes almost completely unnoticed and unadvertised on a family oriented channel. The Middleman will become a cult classic – that much is almost guaranteed by having an episode inciting a “Nakatomi Plaza Protocol” – if word of its greatness ever manages to get out.
A disillusioned Generation Y temp worker has the opportunity of a lifetime dumped on her lap when an experiment at her current job goes out of control and a horrible monster is unleashed. Diving to safety, Wendy Watson (Natalie Morales) keeps the monster at bay until an unnamed man in a plain gray jacket shows up to dispatch the creature from whence it came. He disappears as quickly as »

DVD Review: The Middleman - The Complete Series
30 July 2009 10:09 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »
When it comes to great shows that were canned before audiences got a chance to fully appreciate them, “The Middleman” can easily fight its way to the top of the list. This hokey comedy about world domination and a secret organization that would make S.H.I.E.L.D. jealous is sexy, irreverent and downright fun at every turn. “The Middleman” stars Matt Keeslar as The Middleman, a modern-day superhero tasked with saving the world from the most ridiculous super-villains, aliens, monsters and just about every possible campy-bad guy you can imagine. Natalie Morales stars as Wendy Watson, The Middleman’s trusted sidekick who gives new meaning to the word naughty principal or sexy geek for that matter. Wendy Watson, or DubDub (Ww) as her friends call her, is a comic geek and the show’s version of Robin, The Boy Wonder. From the moment you start watching The Middleman, »

DVD: Review:The Middleman: The Complete Series
28 July 2009 10:01 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
If Joss Whedon and Amy Sherman-Palladino collaborated on a secret-agent/science-fiction/superhero script, then handed it off to be directed by John Carpenter, with cinematography by Barry Sonnenfeld, the results might look a lot like The Middleman, a wonderfully eccentric TV series that ran for 12 episodes last summer on ABC Family before disappearing into the rarefied realm where “unjustly ignored” cultural artifacts await their promotion to “cult favorite” status. Created by Javier Grillo-Marxuach, The Middleman stars Natalie Morales as a lovelorn art student who gets recruited by straight-arrow covert operative Matt Keeslar to join an organization known as “The ... »

The Middleman - Complete Series (DVD Review)
24 July 2009 3:22 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
As TV series have a very short life span these days, such was the case with the shortly ran ABC Family original TV series The Middleman. Debuting in June of 2008, the show ran for a mere 12 episodes; not evening filming the final 13th due to low ratings. Created by Lost writer/producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach, the show sparked with originality and absurdness that science-fiction and horror fans alike felt akin to, but still seeming to warm the most typical of teen angst hearts out there.
With a mixture of Men In Black meets Get Smart fathering a mid 60’s The Avengers feel and mothered to The X-Files, Middleman is a breath of fresh air as each episode is a full-hour-chocked-pack adventure! In other words, this explosive plot can also be boiled down best, as stated by the Middleman himself, “We're international consultants that solve exotic problems for corporations, individuals, and even governments. »

'The Middleman' lives again at Comic-Con
23 July 2009 10:46 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
For many, the day "The Middleman" was canceled was a dark, dark day. I'm one of the many went through Middle-Withdrawal, so when I saw this Thursday (July 23) Comic-Con table read for the episode titled "The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse," I think I may have squeed. A loud round of applause from a packed room greeted creator and narrator for today Javier Grillo-Marxuach, cast members Matt Keeslar, Natalie Morales, Mary Pat Gleason Brit Morgan, Jake Smollett, Brendan Hines (wearing an awesome Tron cycle shit), Mark Sheppard (aka TV's Samuel L. Jackson), and writers Sarah Watson, Margaret Dunlap, and Andy Reeser,... »

'The Middleman' lives on to fight another day, via DVD and comic books
21 July 2009 8:12 PM, PDT | The Watcher | See recent The Watcher news »
There should be a warning label on the DVD boxed set of "The Middleman": "May cause extreme elation." The ABC Family show depicted a clean-cut hero called the Middleman (Matt Keeslar) and his assistant, Wendy Watson (Natalie Morales) fighting dastardly threats from all corners of the galaxy on behalf of O2STK (Organization Too Secret to Know). This delightful concoction, which comes out on DVD Tuesday, was truly one of those shows that the whole family could enjoy. My son loved the goofball aliens and the nefarious villains, while my husband and I marveled at the intricate dialogue and the pop-culture... »

Unreleased ‘The Middleman’ Episode To Be Read At Comic-Con
29 June 2009 3:09 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Parting with a favorite television series is hard enough when a show concludes by design, but fans of ABC Family’s “The Middleman” were left high and dry when the series was canceled last year. Fortunately for those attending this summer’s San Diego Comic-Con International, io9 reports the series’ stars are slated to perform a reading of the final, unmade episode “The Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse.”
Based on the Viper Comics series by writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach (”Lost”) and Eisner-nominated artist Les McClaine (”Jonny Crossbones”), “The Middleman” adaptation was originally planned to run for 13 episodes on ABC Family Chanel, but was canceled after 12.
Fortunately for those with lingering questions, the Comic-Con panel will provide a kind of synchronized multimedia send-off to the entire franchise with Grillo-Marxuach, McClaine and artist Armando M. Zanker releasing the final comic book installment as the television series by Shout!Factory debuts on DVD and the “lost »

Keanu Reeves: The Next Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
8 May 2009 7:03 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Following in the shoes of actors like John Barrymore, Spencer Tracy, Fredric March, Matt Keeslar, and Sean Young, Keanu Reeves is going to tap into his dark side. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is getting a modern re-telling, and Reeves is going to star as the iconic character.
No, this is not the Guillermo del Toro picture -- he's got his hands full with Katie Holmes and hobbits. However, it is being made by the same studio (Universal). They must really love the story. As we all know by now, Stevenson's story focuses on a doctor whose science unleashes a darker and more evil side of himself (although I think it was there to begin with -- Jekyll is a damn creepy name). Obviously, this won't be a gender-bending story like Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde, but »

Dead By Dawn 09: Review of Cold Storage
3 May 2009 1:08 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Year: 2006
Directors: Tony Elwood
Writers: Tony Elwood & Mark Kimray
IMDb: link
Trailer: link
Review by: projectcyclops
Rating: 7 out of 10
Tony Elwood’s Cold Storage is a film that has been a long time in the making, written by Elwood in 1978, touched up in ’85, filmed a couple of years back and finally doing the festival circuit now, it’s very much his baby.
Kicking off with a break-up between young actress Melissa and her earnest, though simple, boyfriend Daric (Matt Keeslar), Melissa heads down South to take a part in a play. Unfortunately she hits a bird and is fatally injured in the process, attracting the attention of simple minded mountain man Clive (an astonishing turn by Nick Searcy). Clive sees that she’s still breathing and drives her back to his cabin, hoping to save her life, but she’s a goner and poor Clive just can’t seem to grasp this all important fact, »
