Although it’s the big, red guy with the Right Hand of Doom who ultimately makes the biggest impact in “Hellboy II: The Golden Army,” one shouldn’t undersell the strength of the film’s villain: Prince Nuada, played by Luke Goss. It was Goss’s second film with director Guillermo Del Toro, having worked with him several years earlier on a different sequel (“Blade II”), but Goss has been steadily working as an actor since the turn of the millennium, working alongside such notable names as Samuel L. Jackson (“The Man”), William Hurt and Donald Sutherland (“Frankenstein”), and Leslie Grantham (“Charlie”). Okay, so…

Lindsey Buckingham has been such an integral part of the Fleetwood Mac line-up that some people often forget he also has a solo career when time and creativity permits. In fact, he has five solo albums under his belt — six if you count Live at the Bass Performance Hall. The most recent of his efforts, Gift of Screws, emerged in mid-September, and Buckingham is now on tour to support the record. We spoke to Buckingham for, well, let’s face it, it wasn’t nearly long enough, but in the 15 minutes allotted to us, we did ask him about the…
After a spending the better part of two decades working predominantly in film and theatre, English-born Rufus Sewell has finally decided to make that most important of decisions for an actor: to try his hand at American television. After several false starts at attempting to speak with Sewell (it was generally due to scheduling issues, but on one occasion, he had accidentally turned off his cell phone), Bullz-Eye finally caught up with the star of CBS’s “Eleventh Hour” and, in addition to quizzing him mercilessly about his new series, he was also willing to chat about his work on films…
An initial word of warning: if your first instinct upon seeing this review was to grumble and mutter, “This should be a review for ‘Studio 60: Season 2,’” you really should just let it go. I loved that show as much as anyone, but America’s viewing masses had already shown Aaron Sorkin once that they couldn’t get behind his attempts to blend comedy and drama (stand up, please, “Sports Night”), and its inability to pull big ratings really shouldn’t have surprised anyone. Now it’s gone, and we’re moving on to “30 Rock.” When I reviewed the first season of “30…
Improv-based television shows aren’t necessarily as hard to find as they used to be, thanks to the success of HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” but setting aside Larry David’s baby, few other series do it quite as well as Comedy Central’s “Reno: 911!” In conjunction with the re-release of the show’s foray into feature film – “Reno: 911! – Miami” in a format described as the More Busted than Ever! Unrated Cut, we had a chance to speak with two of the show’s cast members, who also serve as a significant part of its creative force: Thomas Lennon (Lt. Jim Dangle)…
He might look like the clean-cut, all-American boy, but Jack McBrayer is not quite as innocent as Kenneth the Page, the character he plays on NBC’s “30 Rock.” Oh, sure, he’s just as nice as Kenneth, but when Bullz-Eye had the chance to speak with McBrayer about the impending DVD releases of “30 Rock: Season 2” and “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” he admitted that he’s not above the occasional moment of acting like a Hollywood douchebag. Of course, when you actually read what action he views as falling into this category, you’ll laugh and say, “That’s what he views as douchebaggery?”…
Cybill Shepherd first came to prominence as an actress through her film work (“The Last Picture Show,” “Taxi Driver”), but an entirely new generation came to discover her when she took on the small screen and scored Nielsen victories with shows like “Moonlighting” and “Cybill.” Recently, Shepherd has been scoring acclaim for her work on Showtime’s “The L Word,” but she’s pleased to be taking a fond look back at her sitcom, “Cybill,” which is receiving a best-of DVD set, courtesy of First Look Studios. Bullz-Eye had an opportunity to speak with Shepherd about her accomplishments on “Cybill,” what went…
In Bullz-Eye’s 2007 Year End TV Review, I declared the Travel Channel’s “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” to be the Least Appetizing/Most Addictive Reality Show. “Here’s proof positive that the definition of ‘tasty’ is very, very relative,” I wrote. “Each episode of ‘Bizarre Foods’ finds your host traveling somewhere else in the world to embark on a culinary expedition which invariably inspires either nervous laughter or outright nausea in the viewer…and, yet, you can’t look away.” There is every reason to believe that the status quo will remain unchanged when the show offers up its third season premiere on Sept.…
“The Big Bang Theory” was one of the breakout sitcoms of the 2007 – 2008 season, offering no small amount of geek humor but delivered with impeccable timing by a cast led by sitcom veteran Johnny Galecki (“Roseanne”) and relative newcomer Jim Parsons (“Judging Amy”). During CBS’s party at the TCA Press Tour, I had an opportunity to speak with both Galecki and Parsons about the first season of the show, the chemistry between the two of them and the rest of the cast, and where they hope Season 2 will take them. Johnny Galecki (Leonard) Bullz-Eye: Before I dive…
Barry Bostwick is probably best known to today’s audiences as the lovably befuddled Mayor Randall Winston from “Spin City,” but cult movie aficionados will always remember him as Brad in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Currently, however, Bostwick is playing the role of a lifetime…sort of…as the President of the United States in Spike TV’s new original film, “Depth Charge.” We spoke with Bostwick about his latest gig, his time on “Spin City,” and while touch-a touch-a touching on a couple of his other notable films, we even got him to offer up his frank opinion about the threatened “Rocky…
