“Elementary” (2012) - Fall Preview

Here we have the first preview of CBS’s latest fall addition to their broadcast, Elementary. For those wondering what this show is, it is in fact an American version of Sherlock Holmes that takes place in New York City.

City and locale aside, I actually found this preview pretty interesting. Purists can hate this all they want, but I for one am open to seeing a new iteration of Holmes’ character. Do I have a problem with seeing him in New York City? No, absolutely not. As long as they get the character right and make it interesting that’s all that matters to me. On a side note, it is quite nice to see Lucy Liu getting work.

“The Possession” (2012) Debut Trailer

The first trailer for the upcoming horror film The Possession is out.

Now don’t go thinking that this is just another exorcism film, because for once the film isn’t using any Catholic mythos in its story. Instead, the film centers around a young girl who acquires a mysterious box at a yard sale that contains an evil spirit. Separating this from the past exorcism/possession type films like The Last Exorcism, The Devil Inside and The Rite, this film takes a look at the darker side of Jewish folkore. 

The Possession hits theaters August 31st.

“Arrow” - ‘Just Beginning’ Clip

Hot on the heels of the scheduling news for Arrow, this first clip has hit the web for the CW series based on the DC character of Green Arrow.

The clip is essentially a short origin and training montage and for what it is, it does impress me on the physicality of the up-and-coming hero.
