Dollhouse Epitaph Two Episode Review


No Spoilers
A brilliant and entertaining series finale, it is explosive and passionate, very emotional. There are some sore spots and some parts that anger. Those that didn't see "Epitaph One," which is only available in Season One DVD. The recap was very short and made no sense. Poor Ballard gets stepped on for the whole episode. Zone and Mag from the DVD episode are cool and true to how they were in that episode, but if you didn't see it, you would confused to who they are and their story. There are some surprises when it comes to Pyria and Tony. Maurissa Tancharoen, who co-wrote the episode with her husband Nate Whedon, gets a part as one of the freedom fighters. Nate Dushku, Eliza's brother, gets a cameo early in the episode as a bad guy. Former model Christian Monzon also plays Romeo, another freedom fighter.

Dollhouse Series Finale Tonight

Don't forget! The Series Finale of Dollhouse airs tonight at 8pm on FOX! It is a continuation of the special DVD episode "Epitaph One." Yes, the show has been canceled but at least FOX has aired all the episodes, well except for Epitaph One of course.

Is Varlie Bertinelli old enough to be Sara Rue's mother?

In a Jenny Craig commercial, actress Varlie Bertinelli ("One Day at a time") is forced to say she is old enough to be actress Sara Rue's ("Less than Perfect") mother. Varlie was born in 1960 and Sara was born in 1979, they are 18 years and 8 months apart. So yeah, I guess Varlie could have given birth to Sara at age 18. Her son Wolfgang is 19 years old.

Vader or Yoda?


In the audio commentary of Gamer (starring Gerard Butler) with directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, they mentioned if Gerard Butler was circumcised or not. How they said it was rather interesting. They said either Yoda or Vader and that Gerard Butler has 'Yoda.' Interesting. I had to think about it at first to figure if Yoda meant uncircumcised or if Vader meant circumcised.

Russell Brand in Drop Dead Fred Remake

Drop Dead Fred was a 1991 film that delighted and perplexed me as a child. I liked the premise but the film gave me a chill of emptiness. The film is about Lizzie, who has been psychologically abused by her overbearing mother and has lost her job and husband and returned to live with her mother. She unleashes her childhood imaginary friend who remains in childish humor (farting, vomiting and womanizing) and she gets blamed for his antics. She plans to reclaim her husband but ultimately has to stand on her two feet. The movie itself is surreal, sometimes great, sometimes just stale, with level one humor.

Russell Brand is an interesting choice. They say the movie will be darker, it was dark enough the first time around, being announced as a kids film, I think it was PG-13 at best. There is promise the remake will be like Beetlejuice but with one of the writers of "Land of the Lost," is to pen the remake, doesn't give much promise. We'll see. It would be interesting if it will be good and a hit. I hope this one isn't as depressing as the first film is (to an adult). I did like when Fred got serious though.

There is a big Joss Whedon's Buffy the Vampire Slayer spoiler is coming issues of the comic books so if you haven't read the Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 8 comics, read them! And don't search anything online! Definitely DON'T READ WIKIPEDIA! Because that's what I did and that's how I was spoiled. The #24 issue cover was released earlier this week and fans have been spoiled to the identity of Twilight, the Big Bad villain of Season 8.
