Title: Casino Jack Director: George Hickenlooper Starring: Kevin Spacey (Horrible Bosses, American Beauty), Ruth Marshall, Graham Greene (New Moon) and Hannah Endicott-Douglas. Studios are often taking a gamble on new movies today, and Art Takes Over is no exception. It’s new biographical film ‘Casino Jack,’ which stars Kevin Spacey as well-meaning-turned-greedy Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff, doesn’t live up to late director George Hickenlooper’s previously high standards. He tried to make ‘Casino Jack’ the next great biography movie of men involved in Washington, D.C. politics, but ultimately fails by attempting to give the plot an unneeded comedic undertone. The film follows lobbyist Jack Abramoff (portrayed by Spacey), who is determined to make as much money [...]...

Flashpoint follows the work of a group of highly trained police officers called the Strategic Response Unit (Sru). The series stars Enrico Colantoni, David Paetkau, Hugh Dillon, Sergio Di Zio, Michael Cram, Mark Taylor, Ruth Marshall, and Amy Jo Johnson.
After nine months away, the Canada-produced show is finally returning to Us primetime. A repeat of a first season episode, "Scorpio," is scheduled for Saturday, May 29th. Then, new episodes will begin airing on Friday, June 4th. This will be the cop series' third season on CBS.

CBS has been having a great season. Several of their new shows have been successful and many of their established series are still doing well. Unfortunately, that could be bad news for fans of a little show called Flashpoint.
Flashpoint follows the work of a group of highly trained police officers called the Strategic Response Unit (Sru). The series stars Enrico Colantoni, David Paetkau, Hugh Dillon, Sergio Di Zio, Michael Cram, Mark Taylor, Ruth Marshall, and Amy Jo Johnson.
The show was initially produced for Canada's CTV and CBS picked up the rights to air season one during the writers strike. It ended up performing well for the network and that led CBS to join CTV in renewing it for seasons two and three.
Season three of Flashpoint was supposed to begin airing early this year but the network...
