Matt Smith was basically plucked from obscurity, but if Doctor Who chooses another Doctor… let them at least consider these five wonderful candidates: 1) Chiwetel Ejiofor Let’s have a black Doctor. Let’s just do it, and screw the people who think the Doctor can’t be black. Chiwetel has been churning in character actor mode for years, but an occasional lead (like Kinky Boots) proves he’s got what it takes to be a leading man. Take him to that next level. 2) Tom Hiddleston Obviously, Loki would be better suited as a villain, but Tom’s star is rising because of his … Continue reading Five Great Suggestions For The Next ‘Doctor Who’

Word on the Interwebz is that Milla Jovovich, Nicolas Cage, Jackie Chan, and Wesley Snipes are all in negotiations to join the cast of The Expendables 3. Milla’s casting is interesting, considering there is already a female version of The Expendables in the works with Gina Carano and Katee Sackhoff attached.

Somehow, Suburgatory went from being one of the hottest shows of the 2011-2012 season, to being a bubble show in 2012-2013. It isn’t even on the fall lineup next year, it is being held for midseason.

Tudyk has been a regular since the beginning, playing best friend to Jeremy Sisto’s character, and Lee was upped to series regular following the pilot, as his role of guidance counselor was a breakout role. It … Continue reading Rex Lee and Alan Tudyk depart ‘Suburgatory’
