The Truth Can't Hide Forever

Limited Release in few theaters this Friday, October 24th, 2008 is a new supernatural thriller, Passengers, starring Anne Hathaway. There isn't much publicity about the film, so it is nearly impossible to offer up a decent preview of what looks like a very freaky movie.

Claire Summers is a psychologist who is sent in by her mentor, to counsel ten survivors of the mysterious plane crash of Flight 117. Each is experiencing their own shock and trauma from the tragedy, but one of survivors, Eric, is dealing with something else entirely different ... he has discovered he now has certain powers, since the incident, like knowing the personal details of his new therapist's life!

... well, not really, but for NYPD Detective Sam Tyler, he might as well be living on another planet! Life on Mars on ABC network is an American adaptation of the hit British television series in 2006. I watched the entire two seasons on BBC America, and absolutely loved it. So, when I heard this was going to be re-told American-style for the new fall line-up, I was pretty jazzed. And, after watching the premiere online last night, Life on Mars didn't disappoint.

The story revolves around Detective Sam Tyler trying to nail a serial killer in New York City. His partner and lover, Maya Daniels, finally catch the man they have been after for so long, but finds he has a solid alibi during a murder. Colin Raimes was recorded while gambling at a casino. Raimes is released, but Maya decides to follow him. Back at the station, new evidence is found that Colin Raimes had a twin, Lawrence ... a compulsive gambler, of course! Maya calls Sam to tell him she has her sights on him, but the call is abruptly cut-off. The police scramble to get to Maya, but are too late ... only finding her blood stained shirt. Sam becomes beside himself, fearing the worst ... gets a call on his cell, and leaves his car to get some better reception, and gets slammed by a speeding vehicle ...

some hide. they seek.

Sanctuary for All ... can you tell why I like this title??? It's the episode name for the two hour premiere of SciFi Channel's new series, Sanctuary. Stargate's Amanda Tapping is back with a Victorian English accent as the 157 year old scientist, Dr. Helen Magnus. Helen runs a secret laboratory, she inherited from her father ... a brilliant scientist who taught her everything she knows, including the strange mysteries and creatures that inhabit our world. Like BBC America's scifi series, Torchwood, it's her job to study, protect and if necessary, capture and imprison these creatures. The "abnormals" are creatures of myth and legend, yet apparently are real and living among us mere humans. But, their origins may hold the key to our own existence ... and possibly, the future of humanity, itself.
