La Dolce Villa

  • Title: La Dolce Villa
  • IMDb: link

In what could easily been released on the Hallmark Channel, La Dolce Villa is a perfectly fine example of a made for home video tale involving overprotective single dad Eric (Scott Foley) traveling to Italy to try and prevent his unfocused daughter Olivia (Maia Reficco) from buying a rundown villa in a small village with plans to restore it. While there, he falls for the town’s mayor Francesca (Violante Placido) beginning his first real romantic relationship with a woman since the death of his wife.

Matlock – A Traitor in Thine Own House

  • Title: Matlock – A Traitor in Thine Own House
  • IMDb: link

While offering a case of stolen secrets between two tech giants (which guests stars Covert AffairsChristopher Gorham as a hippy CEO), “A Traitor in Thine Own House” offers the team-up of the distrustful and the vengeful Sarah (Leah Lewis) working together to find dirt on Matlock (Kathy Bates). Maddy outmaneuvers the again, putting a quick end to Sarah’s hate-fueled run and also forcing Shae (Yael Grobglas) to back-off of Matlock for the foreseeable future. The other note on the episode comes from its name which remarks on Sarah’s framing Maddie’s betrayal as something of Shakespearean-level significance (but which only lasts a single episode).

Green Lantern Corps #1

After the fall of the United Planets, a new volume of Green Lantern Corps begins here with the Corps working to restore order in a universe where the emotional spectrum has gone out of whack, replenish its ranks with new recruits, and earn back some respect. With an extensive cast, the comic looks like it will focus on a revolving focus of a main character or main characters every issue/arc. Although we see the likes of Jo Mullein, Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, a rehabilitated Sinestro, and Simon Baz (among others), the main character in the first issue is John Stewart.
