It’s that time of year again where the Big 5 networks start to roll out their annual Fall Season of new TV shows. Being lucky enough to preview the new shows being offered, here is a quick take on which of new shows caught our eye and that we recommend you add to your “watch” list this Fall:
Almost Human
Coming from the super-duo J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman (who also brought Fringe to the small screen), this new sci-fi series invites viewers to explore life in the near future in the year 2048 where robots and androids are a routine part of everyday life; so much so that they are even paired with human partners in the police force. Starring Star Trek’s Karl Urban and Common Law’s Michael Ealy, they bring an unexpected level of hilarious interaction to a tense drama series about political terrorism and unrest in the future.

We've seen Michelle Pfeiffer sing, we've seen her slink around Gotham City, and we've seen her as a drug lord's trophy wife, but now we'll get to see her as a mafia badass.
From "Dangerous Liaisons" to "Dangerous Minds," the Oscar-winning actress gets dangerous yet again in this week's "The Family" alongside Robert De Niro. Pfeiffer's Maggie Blake may look like a sweet little blonde lady, but don't judge a mob boss's wife by her cover -- she'll blow up your convenience store if you make fun of her French.
Pfeiffer has been on both the big and small screen for the last 34 years, but there are still a handful of facts you probably didn't know about her, such as her penchant for oil painting. Check out 20 little-known tidbits below about the actress below.
1. Pfeiffer's first job as a performer was playing Alice from "Alice in Wonderland" at Disneyland's...

I never thought I would be so bothered when it comes to technical awards at the Oscars, but I am already preparing myself for what I expect will be three snubs for a certain film. The Art Directors Guild has all but confirmed one of them will be Moonrise Kingdom's absence from the Production Design nominees by not nominating Adam Stockhausen and Gerald Sullivan's profoundly excellent work. I expect the same to happen at the Oscars and I'm sure Moonrise will be overlooked for Cinematography and Costumes as well, even though everything I'm describing went into what makes it such a great movie. So what did get nominated? Well, in the Contemporary Film category you have Flight, Skyfall, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, The Impossible and Zero Dark Thirty. Of that group The Impossible and Zero Dark Thirty sound about right. Skyfall is a bit of a stretch,...

Welcome to The X Factor, sponsored by Aleve — the long-acting analgesic with the power to ward off gale-force migraines caused by the pack of perpetually screeching harpies sitting in the first three rows of the audience.
It doesn’t matter what the Top 13 are singing. It doesn’t matter how the judges are reacting. It doesn’t matter if Demi Lovato can’t pronounce the names of the singers she’s mentoring. And it doesn’t even matter whether the producers fill Mario Lopez’s teleprompter with the script from Ken Burns’ Jazz or an announcement that a meteor is...

Wreck-It Ralph
Directed by Rich Moore
Written by Jennifer Lee and Phil Johnston
USA, 2012
If, as some theorists believe, there are alternate universes where the vast infinity of possibilities in life actually come true, there’s a world out there where The Princess and the Frog was Walt Disney Animation Studios’ biggest hit since The Lion King. (Perhaps you would like to consider the alternative universe where the Holocaust didn’t happen or the AIDS virus never came to pass. For now, let us celebrate the frivolous potential of this concept.) The Princess and the Frog, in the real world, was a charming, lovely, nostalgic look back at what kick-started Disney’s second golden age of animation, and it didn’t do poorly. However, it was also not the sterling success the company was hoping for. As such, Walt Disney Pictures has tried with its two most recent efforts to...

Plenty of imagination went into the creation of Disney's latest animated feature Wreck-It Ralph as the world of video games is brought to life in more ways than one. Digital warriors, racing games and winged alien robots exist not only in their own respective games, but as part of an entire community of digital characters. From Q-Bert to Sonic the Hedgehog, familiar game characters travel between their respective titles whether it's to get a drink at the bar tending game "Tapper" or to just relax in the digital world's interpretation of Grand Central Station, the appropriately named Game Central, a surge protector serving as the hub that ties the arcade together. Written by Jennifer Lee and Phil Johnston with director Rich Moore ("The Simpsons", "Futurama") at the helm, Wreck-It Ralph resembles the plot of a "Super Mario" game by way of "Donkey Kong". Similar to the classic simian arcade game,...

Meek’s Cutoff
Directed by Kelly Reichardt
Kelly Reichardt had a stellar if hushed 2000s, and then she commenced the current decade with a film that is already beginning to feel like an unsung modern classic. Meek’s Cutoff is one of those exhilarating instances in which a marriage of disparate styles produces something tricky to imagine, but perfect to behold: a period piece set in mid-1800’s Oregon, shot in academy ratio and classically beautiful for it, but with Reichardt’s signature severe naturalism. The result is so stark and understated that it begins to feel graceful, weirdly epic. A small caravan of settlers (featuring Michelle Williams and a once again devout Paul Dano) hires a guide, big-talking Stephen Meek, to help them navigate the Oregon Trail. As the terrain grows less forgiving and water evermore scarce, the settlers begin to wonder if the route Meek...
