Monaghan and Rodriguez Star in ‘Fortuna’
Set in 2100, “Fortuna” envisions an Earth where a collapsed economy and climate crises have eliminated the middle class, leaving a few very wealthy and the teeming masses in severe poverty. To give hope and avoid revolt, the elite create Fortuna, a mysterious game where one in a thousand wins a big payday and joins the upper classes.

Review: FlashForward - Scary Monsters and Super Creeps
(S01E06) Some big revelations this week, both in the FlashForwards case, as well as in the situation at the Benford household. In fact, it was at the Benford household that it went down. I was also very proud of the writers for choosing a more challenging route for Mark's character than the tired cliches we've come to expect. We also got the first encounter between Lloyd Simcoe's son and the Benford daughter, Charlie, and so many things became more clear. A couple more FlashForwards to round...

FlashForward - A Boozer on a Train Headed to Los Angeles
Charlie! Is alive! And using kind of awesome pick up lines, which include quantum mechanics, Schroedinger's Cat and Google searches of him flashing his nads to pick up a hot lady on a train. And, yeah, the line works. Charlie recounts his flash forward to the lucky lady (mid-coitus, natch) and it is a gruesome choking mood killer. Also a mood killer? When freaky Charlie shows up unannounced in the back of your car wanting to talk about your experiment, which killed 20 million people. Yeah,...

My early morning chat with Dominic Monaghan...
Dominic Monaghan called from Manchester, England this morning - 7:40 a.m. SoCal time. I had fallen asleep waiting for what I thought was to be a 7 a.m. interview so it was kinda cool to be awakened by Dominic who has a new movie coming out called "Sell the Dead." (BTW, it was a publicist's error: Dominic had been told to call at 8 a.m. my time so he actually rang early!). Best-known as one of the stars of ABC's "Lost" (his character of Charlie was killed off at the end of the third seaspn), Dominic also ha

Dean Stockwell is one of those generational actors, the kind who’s known for a different project for every decade that he’s been in the business…and since he was playing against the likes of Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly by the time he was ten years old, that’s a lot of projects. Maybe you know him from “The Boy with the Green Hair” or “Gentleman’s Agreement,” or perhaps from his work as Al on “Quantum Leap,” or as Ben in David...
