The newest holiday movie from The Hallmark Channel is the fairly generic Santa Switch, premiering tonight at 8/7c. Ethan Erickson stars as Dan Ryebeck, recently unemployed, estrange from his wife, and desperate to buy gifts to impress his two children. Always chasing a new business idea, Dan hasn’t had time for family, including his wife Linda (Anne Dudek), who is finally fed …

The Mindy Project is ringing in the season with a “Christmas Sex Trap”, whatever that is. Maybe it leads to a Mindy/Danny kiss? They’re looking awfully romantic in the close up below. Mindy plans an office Christmas party for the entire building, so she can spend more time with Cliff (guest star Glenn Howerton). However, things don’t go Mindy’s way …

I think Candace Cameron Bure is planning to make a Hallmark holiday movie every year now that she’s back to acting, and I am a-OK with that. In Let It Snow, she finds herself tangled up with a family resort at Christmastime again (see also: Moonlight and Mistletoe), but this time she’s the one threatening to shut it all down. …

This week’s Lifetime original movie, Dear Secret Santa, is one of their best of the season. Tatyana Ali stars as Jennifer, a workaholic in Los Angeles who returns to Berkeley after her Dad (Bill Cobbs) takes a spill.

This episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finally seemed to live up to the promise of the pilot. Here are our thoughts on “Repairs”. 1. Was the “ghost” haunting poor Hannah the scariest villain so far?

A new episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs tonight, so let’s talk about last week’s episode. Makes sense, right? (Actually, we’re just super busy at Nice Girls HQ and the roundtable got put on the back burner.) 1. What did you think about the SHIELD tie in with Thor 2? Successful? Forced? Mel: I haven’t seen either Thor movie (I …

Another ex-boyfriend’s wedding, another chance for Mindy to embarrass herself. When Mindy’s cheating ex-boyfriend Josh (guest star Tommy Dewey) invites her to his wedding, Mindy panics to find a date and begrudgingly decides to take Peter, who is actually a great wedding date until he makes one big mistake. Meanwhile, Danny’s kid brother Richie (guest star Max Minghella) is in …

Every year there’s one standout among the pack of original holiday movies, one that is just a little more on par with a feature film. This year, I think that movie is Window Wonderland. The premise is familiar but still fun: a pair of co-workers vie for the same promotion, competing against each other, and romance blooms. In this case, …

From the creators of Merlin comes a new action adventure tale delving into mythology, although this time it’s located on a different isle: Atlantis. Note: I’m going to confess right off the top that the main reason I’m so stoked about Atlantis is that it co-stars Alexander Siddig, one of my favorite people in the world and a personal friend. …
