"Dark Shadows" movie

I had the pleasure of seeing "Dark Shadows," the new Tim Burton movie for the second time this week.  The second time that I viewed the movie, I watched it as a Tim Burton fan.  The first time that I'd seen "Dark Shadows," I viewed it as a "Dark Shadows" fan.  I studied on the differences between the classic series and the movie.  I really love Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows."  It is his best movie in years.  With movies like "Twilight" and tv shows like "Vampire Diaries," I am thrilled that Tim decided to put some humor into this new Barnabas Collins story.  I loved the way that Barnabas had a heck of a time adapting to 1972. He thought the McDonalds golden arches as a message from Satan, confused by cars, and he didn't know what a tv set was.  Another thrill for me was seeing Jonathan Frid, as well as Kathryn Leigh Scott, Lara Parker, and David Selby from the original "Dark Shadows" series in the movie.  It is sad that Jonathan passed away before the "Dark Shadows" movie was released, because I would of loved to read his reaction to the movie.  The cast was great.  Helena Carter was great in her performance as Dr. Hoffman.  I love the twist in the Victoria Winters character.  It really is a great time at the theater.  Too bad that Warner Bros released the movie a week after "Marvel's The Avengers."  I would of loved it, if "Dark Shadows" made a bunch of money and we'd see a sequel.

CAPRICA Actor News

I've been rewatching "Caprica" season 1.0 on DVD & I think it now as well as I did for the first time. Despite having survived for one season, I think that people will begin to appreciate this series on DVD. Here is some news about some of the "Caprica" actors: Caprica actor Richard Harmon has signed to star in indie sci-fi film Judas Kiss.The 18-year-old will play Danny Reyes, a gay student at a university that exists "at the crossroads of parallel timelines", reports Airlock Alpha.The film is directed by J.T. Tepnapa with a screenplay from Carlos Pedraza.Harmon played the pivotal role of Heracles in three episodes of Syfy's Caprica. He also appeared on an episode of Fringe and Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Another "Caprica" actress joins the cast of "Judas Kiss." Check this out: Genevieve Buechner, who plays Tamara Adama on the Syfy hit series, “Caprica,” leads the list of actors filling out the cast of the campus time-travel drama, “Judas Kiss,” set to shoot here this month. Buechner, a Canadian actress, is also a veteran of various network TV dramas, such as “Supernatural” and “The 4400,” and has also appeared in the features “Elopement” and “Jennifer’s Body.” She appears in “Judas Kiss” as a student at Keystone Summit University, a school that lies at the crossroads of parallel timelines, the film’s producers announced today. “We’re thrilled our little independent feature caught Genevieve’s notice, and that she wants to be a part of it,” said director J.T.
