Strike Back: Season 1
The manliest series on TV (well, Cinemax) follows the exploits of
good-lookin’ counter-terrorism operatives as they punch, kick, shoot,
screw, explode and grimace their way around the globe. It’s like 24
meets a firefighter calendar. (HBO)
Grimm: Season 1
A Portland homicide cop (David Guintoli) learns that he’s a descendent
of the Grimms, who are charged with keeping the peace between humans and
mythological monsters. Better (and more Portland-y) than Once Upon a
Time. (Universal)
Bel Ami
Twilight’s Robert Pattinson stars as a suave seducer who … ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Anyway … (Magnolia)
The Lorax
The Despicable Me producers ruin, er, re-imagine Dr. Seuss’ tale of a boy (Zac Efron) who seeks the help of an orange hairball (Danny DeVito) to win a girl (Taylor Swift). Why not just say, “Remember me from High School Musical?” (Universal)
Parenthood: Season 3
The Braverman family returns for a third season of yelling, brooding, weeping, emoting and making up, with help/hindrance from random guest stars Jason Ritter, John Corbett, and Cee Lo Green as the little baby-armed dinosaur who could. (Universal)
