“Sons of Anarchy” recap: Fix

September 22, 2009 Channel Guide Staff 4

Whatever else happens in my life, I can now say I’ve seen a Fat Elvis impersonator sing “Hava Nagila” at a bar mitzvah. I have this episode of Sons of Anarchy to thank for that, and I’ll always be grateful. That glorious interlude serves to remind us that these bikers are in many ways just working stiffs trying to get by. Bobby, for instance, needs to catch up on child support, alimony, kids’ oral surgery. Clay feels for the guy, or perhaps is just wary of the idea of walking into the club and seeing Sad Elvis every day, so […]

Catch a sneak preview of “Archer” Thursday on FX

September 16, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

The new animated comedy Archer won’t hit airwaves until January, but FX is offering a sneak preview Thursday at 10:30pm ET/PT, immediately following the season premiere of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The network had originally scheduled Archer for a fall premiere, but production schedules have forced it to move to early next year. This will also make it possible for FX to allow another new comedy, The League, to bow in late October (time and date TBD) during football season. The League follows a group of fantasy football junkies who try to juggle their everyday lives with their gridiron […]

“Sons of Anarchy” recap: Small Tears

September 15, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

By Stacey Harrison Despite her long resumé, you could be forgiven for chalking up Katey Sagal’s casting as the head biker chick in Sons of Anarchy as nepotism, given her marriage to series creator Kurt Sutter. But the lady has brought it every single episode and is truly given a chance to shine in this wrenching hour as she deals with the aftermath of her vicious attack at the hands of the white separatists. She lies alone and naked at the scene of the crime as a beautiful, mournful version of “Ruby Tuesday” plays (sung by none other than Sagal, […]

“Sons of Anarchy” recap: Albification

September 8, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

By Stacey Harrison Ah, it’s been awhile, SAMCRO. Nice to catch back up with you after the hell on wheels that was Season 1. Jax looked to be headed for war with the club after its botched attempt on Opie’s life — instead they accidentally killed his innocent wife, Donna, leaving two kids without a mom and Opie with a thirst for vengeance. They’re trying to sell the story that it was a rival gang (black, Hispanic, take your pick) that did the deed, but Jax knows better. He stays quiet, though, gritting his teeth as Clay and Tig deflect Opie’s rage […]

Five Fabulous Flicks, Plus Two

June 5, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

Start the weekend — and next week — right with these films airing June 5-11. All times ET June 5 Casino Royale (2006) With this film, Daniel Craig overcame the doubt and skepticism of many to become arguably the most thrilling new James Bond since Sean Connery. Playing a more human version of the quintessential superspy, Craig brings a depth and vulnerability absent from previous incarnations. Based on the original Ian Fleming story, this is an appropriate rebirth for the franchise and easily one of the best in the series. USA, 8pm ET June 6 16 Blocks (2006) In 1994 […]

Five Fabulous Flicks (Plus Two)

April 10, 2009 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

by Karl J. Paloucek There’s a worthy film for every night of your week. Here are our picks for April 12-18. Remember, all airtimes are ET. April 12 The Departed (2006) He’s done better films by far, so it’s a little disappointing that this effort — a remake of a 2002 Hong Kong thriller — was the one to bring Martin Scorsese Academy gold, but it definitely has his fingerprints all over it. Solid performances from Martin Sheen, Matt Damon and even Leonardo DiCaprio make this a knuckle-biter you’ll want to see again … if you can stand the tension. […]
