Mark Pellegrino Joins 'The Closer'

There are few actors who've had a greater run of big recurring roles than Mark Pellegrino. He was Rita's ex on Dexter DVD, Jacob on Lost, Lucifer on Supernatural and the powerful vampire Bishop on the U.S. remake of Being Human. Now Mark Pellegrino can add one more role to that list: The Closer. According to TVGuide, Pellegrino will have a recurring role on the upcoming final season of TNT's The Closer as lawyer Gavin Barker, who the show's creator James Duff described as "brisk, gay and formidable." You might think a lawyer might be Brenda's greatest foe, but actually, he's her greatest ally.

In the final season, one of the major storylines revolves around Brenda and the police department being sued by the mother of a murdered gang member. Fans will definitely remember the season 6 episode "War Zone," in which a gang member received full immunity and then revealed that he'd murdered two people. Brenda was so distraught over giving immunity to a murderer that she dropped him off at his house, knowing that his gang would almost certainly murder him. The final shot of that episode, with Brenda being driven off as the gang circled their prey, was truly unforgettable.

But now that case comes back to haunt her, and it's up to Pellegrino's lawyer to save her. It might be the beginning of the end, however, since it is the last season and the show will transition into a spin-off, Major Crimes, starring Mary McDonnell as Captain Raydor (who is thankfully promoted to a series regular for the final season). The Closer's seventh season premieres Monday, July 11 at 9pm on TNT and will be split into three separate runs, meaning it won't actually end until next summer.

New Nanny on Dexter Season 6

Well, they did say a hot little latina number will be one of the three new characters for Season 6 ofDexter DVD;. They also mentioned Dexter *may* get a new love interest. It would seem that both are wrapped up in the same little package, with the announcement of Aimee Garcia to the show. This follows the previous announcements of Colin Hanks and Mos Def, who have also landed significant roles on Dexter Season 6. Out with the old and in with the young.

Dexter Morgan has hired a new nanny that will help take care of his young son Harrison throughout the Showtime show’s sixth season, replacing Maria Doyle Kennedy as Sonya.Joining Dexter as the new hired help is actress Aimee Garcia playing Jamie, the younger sister of Dexter’s coworker Angel Batista. What are the odds that Jamie sees or finds something she wasn’t supposed to? What would surely make “Hell break loose.”Fresh off the cancellation of ABC’s Off the Map, TVLine reports that Dexter has recruited Map star Aimee Garcia for a new role in the coming season as baby Harrison’s new nanny Jamie, and none other than Angel Batista’s sister herself!

Could there be romance in the air, amidst all the blood spatter?  After Lumen left (and thank Harry she did), we know Dexter doesn’t mind getting down a bit in the wake of his wife’s murder. Oh, and don’t worry about Dexter’s former nanny Sonya, as the report points out “sources confirm she either got fired, quit, or died.”  Hmm.  Alright then. With the roundup of new blood announced so far, it’s going to be a very interesting  cheap Dexter DVD Season 6!

Lauren Velez to open N.Y. Latino theater festival

The fifth Latino International Theater Festival of New York, to be held June 4-18, will commence with a production of “They Call Me La Lupe” starring Lauren Velez, best known for her role in the Showtime television series “Dexter DVD.” In the one-woman show, Velez plays Guadalupe Victoria Yoli, whom the show business world knew as “La Lupe,” a Cuban singer who developed her career in New York and was the voice of Tito Puente’s orchestra.

La Lupe (1939-1992), remembered for hits like “Puro teatro” and “La tirana” and who was the first Latina to appear at Carnegie Hall, was acclaimed in her native New York as the queen of Latin soul. The stage production, written for Velez by Luis Caballero and “Dexter DVD” producer James Manos and directed by Veronica Caicedo, will be presented on June 4 at the Hostos Center for Arts and Culture in the Bronx, Susana Tubert, the founder of the festival, known as the TeatroStageFest, said in a communique. Velez, who is of Puerto Rican origin and who has also had roles on “Ugly Betty,” “Numbers” and “Law and Order,” among other programs, successfully presented the show in Miami as well as the Teatro La Tea in New York last year.

Aimee Garcia And Mos Def Join The Cast

Harrison, Dexter‘s son will have a new nanny. Off the Map actress Aimee Garcia is joining the cast as Jamie when Dex hires her to care for his son. Jamie also happens to be the kid sister of Dex’s colleague Batista.
But what happened to Sonya, the Irish au pair who cared for lil’ Harry last season? Sources said her character won’t continue as she either got fired, quit, or died.

Garcia will appear throughout the Showtime drama’s upcoming sixth season. Now, I expect her to deliver intelligent dialogues opposed to her character in Off The Map where she plays non-English-speaking native Alma.

In other casting news, Mos (previously named Mos Def) is joining the cast as well. Mos Def will play a hardened ex-con who claims to have found religion yet finds himself surrounded by violence. Michael C. Hall’s Dexter, a blood-spatter analyst who dispatches deserving criminals in his spare time, will reveal the truth of who he really is.

Its seasons 1-5 have been released on dvd at my site. You can check it out at http://www.izdvd.com/.

Two New Guest Stars And A Shiny New Poster

Check out the new “Bring It On” poster for Weeds Season 1-6 DVD Boxset which premieres Monday, June 27th at 10PM ET/PT.

Synopsis: Pot-selling single mom turned Mexican mafia princess turned escape artist Nancy Botwin turned herself in to the FBI rather than face certain death at the hands of her vengeful ex Esteban and his goon squad.

For those of you looking for a Weeds DVD update. There are some casting news and plot details for the upcoming new season, which premieres next month. We also have the new promotional poster for Weeds, along with one for The Big C for you to check out.

TV Line posted some casting updates along with a few plot details that some may find a bit spoilery, so if you don’t want to know anything about the upcoming season, scroll down and feast your eyes on the shiny, new posters for cheap weeds DVD and The Big C.

According to TVLine.com, Martin Short and Aiden Quinn have been signed on to appear in multiple episodes of Season 7. That's the vague update. Bigger spoilers ahead!

If you remember the Season 6 finale, things ended with Nancy being hauled off and arrested for the murder of Pilar, which was technically her son’s doing. Young Shane did the crime and Nancy did the time. Three years, to be exact. The seventh season picks up three years later with Nancy on probation following her prison sentence.

Andy, Silas, Shane and Doug spent some time in Copenhagen and are set to return to New York to meet up with Nancy, who will be living in a halfway house and trying to get her weed-peddling business back up and running. The Botwins take Manhattan? Love it!

Martin Short of Damages (also, the guilty pleasure romantic comedy Innerspace) will play an “eccentric attorney” and will appear in at least three episodes. Aidan Quinn of NBC’s upcoming new drama Prime Suspect (also, the guilty pleasure romantic comedy Practical Magic) will play a “charismatic CEO” in at least four episodes.

Showtime will air back-to-back premieres for Weeds DVD set and The Big C Season 2 on Monday, June 27th, starting at 10 PM ET/PT.

Dexter Season 6 Casting News

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything about Showtime’s Dexter DVD, but the latest from TVLine might be a hint that news should start trickling out again, and it’s about frigging time too, since production on Season 6 starts at the end of this month.

No in-depth spoilers here, but suffice it to say that Season 5 ended with a few empty spaces that need to be filled since a few characters might not (or cheap Dexter DVD) be returning, so the team behind the lovable serial killer is looking for a few good people to fill these roles:I don’t really get any vibes from the description of Jamie, but I think Chicago Mike could prove to be a big thorn in Dexter Seasons 1-5 DVD Boxset’s side. He’s pretty good at covering his tracks with his current crew, but fresh blood on the scene, especially one with a “finely turned BS detector,” could offer up some new challenges for Dexter. There’s also potential for new intern Louis to stumble across some things he shouldn’t be discovering so this character could also add a nice little bit of drama to the upcoming season.

Sorry, Jaime, but so far you just sound like cannon fodder for a serial killer.Dexter isn’t all Michael C. Hall has lined up these days. After filming in Season 6 wraps, he’ll also be starring in Love, Scotch and Death with Vera Farmiga.

Review the film of Joe

Joe is a hard working man; he runs his own florist shop and living a happy life in America. He suffers from headaches and goes to see his doctor. Unfortunately, he gets the news he has a brain tumor. Joe meets Hush and wins lots of money on the horse. Finally the film was very famous all over the world on TV or DVD.
The plot which I have given for this film may seem a lot but this really all does happen within the first half hour of the film. I will admit that I am not really a fan of Billy Connelly but as it was only £1 in my local, more so as it is classed as a comedy. The role of Hush was played by Sharon Stone and again she was very good, the one problem which I had with her was the accent. I would not personally class this as a hilarious comedy, like what is claimed on the back of the northern exposure case but more of a dark comedy as it deals with the subject of death and gambling. The sets and props were very good and this film was shot on location as there were no badly added backdrops. It was a nice and fitting ending for a lovely film. The northern exposure dvd which I have does not have any bonus features. I found this to be a good length with the story moving at a good steady pace. I think this is very appropriate. I paid just £1 for my DVD and thought this was a complete bargain. There is a good mix of humor and emotional scenes which will keep all entertained

Northern Exposure: Alaska Motorcycle Touring

Phew! I breathed a silent sigh of relief as my large, heavy suitcase and bulging northern exposure disappeared down the conveyor belt at the Air New Zealand check-in counter. I was expecting to be told that I would have to pay for excess baggage. Packing for a motorcycle tour in Alaska had proven to be a challenge and involved packing helmet, boots, a full set of wet weather gear, sleeping bag, thermals, spares for apres -riding, plus a set of lighter weight summer gear (Draggin' Jeans plus Draggin' denim jacket). After six months of planning I was on my way!

Alaska is not the easiest of places to get to from New Zealand and in my case my travel arrangements necessitated an overnight stay in Los Angeles, giving me a spare afternoon to kill. It's always interesting to visit LaLa land and see what is going down, and this trip was no exception. Walking from my hotel, the first thing what struck me was the renewed outburst of patriotism on display everywhere. Like every store is competing to display the Stars and Stripes. Billboards proclaim "In God we Trust, United we Stand" and pick-up vehicles have the Stars and Stripes displayed on their tailgates. Some of this appears to be a genuine reaction to the events of 11th September- rallying around the flag in defiance of the unseen enemy - a kind of "don't f*** with us" message. However, some of the flag waving is nothing more than pure commercialism.

Supermarkets were selling rubbish bins decorated in the Stars and Stripes - a little tacky. The events of 9/11 were obvious in other ways. Clearing immigration at Los Angeles took 1-1/2 hour and I was told that this was a lot quicker than usual. The queue in the entry hall was a shambles with luggage trolleys snaking backwards and forwards through the entire hall. Next day, when leaving for Anchorage, I passed through three different metal detectors and had to rake my shoes off so they could be inspected by a security guard. I also had to turn my belt buckle over to show that there was
nothing being shielded by it.

One of my favorite all-time television series is “Northern Exposure”

One of my favorite all-time television series is “northern exposure” which ran on CBS from 1990 to 1995 with a total of 110 episodes. It is peculiar that I didn’t discover the show until 1996, but that didn’t hamper my enthusiasm for what I judged to be one of the best written shows ever. The show was set in the fictional town of Cicely Alaska. Some say it was modeled after the Inside Passage town of Haines, Alaska while others claim that Talkeetna, Alaska provided the motivation for the town in the show. In any case, the show wasn’t filmed in Alaska at all. It was filmed on location in Roslyn, Washington. The show developed a cult-like following and I must admit that I’m a card carrying member. It is the reason why I’ve always wanted to visit Roslyn. Fourteen years after the last season, fans still attend the Moosefest festival in Roslyn each year. Now that’s staying power!

For intangible reasons, the show led me to equate a small, rural town in the Pacific Northwest like the one depicted in the show with an openness to science. Why? In part, it is likely the nature of many of the main characters and their innate but understated intelligence. For instance, I loved the philosophical machinations of Chris Stevens (played by John Corbett), host of the “Chris in the Morning” radio show on the fictional KBHR station (pronounced “K-Bear”). Although not formally educated, Chris had time to engage in pure learning due to his time being incarcerated. I recall Chris on one particularly eloquent rant talking about the wave/particle duality of light. Then there was Maurice Minnifield (Northern Exposure Seasons 1-6 DVD Boxset ), the Mercury program astronaut character.

Several other characters carried their own intellectual weight such as Maggie O’Connell (played by Janine Turner) the bush pilot, Dr. Joel Fleischman (played by Rob Morrow) the New York doctor from Columbia University, Ruth-Anne Miller (played by Pet Phillips) the general store owner, and in his own way, Ed Chigliak (played by Darren Burrows) the native Alaskan film aficionado. All the characters had their own charm and memorable characteristics. Another reason I connect the show with scientific research is due to the climate. I’ve always thought of doing research in cold, snowy environs like Alaska. There’s something about sitting around a raging fire late at night, pondering the secrets of the cosmos.

I guess I could see myself playing a role in that kind of community. I’m sure people in a small town like that would liken me to a mad scientist, the astrophysicist that stay’s up late at night doing who-knows-what. I could see myself hanging out at the local tavern (known as “The northern exposure dvd boxset” in the show, see the attached photo) and trying to educate the local folks in the ways of physics, astronomy, and mathematics as I was chowing down on a moose burger.

Watching the Legendary Western Films

Western movies are a legendary genre of American filmmaking. They manage to capture the nostalgia of the era in North America .if you like to watch these films , here are some good films as bellow.

The Great Train Robbery is broadly thought of as the first commercial movie. It is a classic western and  running at a length of just 12 minutes  of the time. This film is said to have encouraged a number of other classic film moments.Stagecoach is also a western film. The film, follows the journey of a stagecoach and it makes its way across dangerous territory to the west. The Searchers is another movie starring the iconic John Wayne, The Searchers is an ambitious tale based around the abduction of two young girls by the Comanche Indians.

It is certainly an epic tale that you don't want to miss. John Wayne Memorabilia is still highly collectable today, proving a testament to his everlasting popularity.Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is also another good film,look this film if you are keener on a western featuring a notorious bank robbery. If you need some more convincing, the fact that it won four out of the seven Academy Awards it was nominated for should seal the deal.

Recommendation:

northern exposure
