Anna Friel in Talks to Join Cast of Dark Fields Film

Anna Friel, the actress perhaps best known for her turn as a sunny dead girl who couldn’t touch her beloved piemaker in the canceled-too-soon Pushing Daisies, is in talks to join the cast of Dark Fields according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film currently features Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro and Abbie Cornish, and is based on the novel of the same name by Alan Glynn....  read more

Pushing Daisies Review: "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy" (Episode 209) and "The Norwegians" (Episode 210)

With precious few episodes left, Pushing Daisies is really picking up momentum in its story arcs. In "The Legend of Merle McQuoddy," Olive proved her investigating worth to Emerson, which could lead to a world outside of the pie hole, for good. And Chuck's dad (understandably) proved to be so protective of his daughter he advocated for her to remove the biggest threat to her safety: Ned. ...  read more

Pushing Daisies Review: "Robbing Hood" (Episode 207) and "Comfort Food" (Episode 208)

Forgive me for being a little late to the game, but I suppose I'm still in mourning over Pushing Daisies' inevitable but hopelessly disappointing cancellation. With the news creator Bryan Fuller is headed back to NBC's Heroes, the chances of Daisies being brought back to life is slim to none, despite the best efforts from fans. Alas, we can only take solace in the few episodes the series has left. Still, the cancellation really stings because the show seems to be really hitting its stride....  read more

Pushing Daisies Review: "Oh Oh Oh... It's Magic" (Episode 206)

After a three-week hiatus, Pushing Daisies returned with a buoyant new episode that further developed three of the four over-arching second-season plotlines. (Emerson's missing daughter has yet to be fleshed out.) "Oh Oh Oh... It's Magic" also guest starred Fred Willard, and for anyone who has seen his performance in this, you'd know that is a very good thing indeed. Now, onto those story lines:...  read more

Pushing Daisies review. Episode 2.05—"Dim Sum, Lose Some"

You'd be forgiven if you missed the latest episode of Pushing Daisies, seeing how Barack Obama bought airtime on every major network besides ABC (although, inexplicably, the show's ratings increased by 14%, further proof people are t-i-r-e-d of this election.) Regardless, it was an especially enjoyable episode, one that ended on an interesting cliff-hanger involving what has proven to be the over-arching story for the season: Ned's father....  read more

TV Detail: Pushing Daisies review. Episode 2.03—"Bad Habits"

Well, I feel silly. I've been pretty explicit in expressing my indignation over some of the story lines set up in the second season of Pushing Daisies, but I stand corrected. Last night's episode, "Bad Habits," miraculously wove all the separate plot lines together in a profound and transcendentally touching way. It was not only one of the best episodes of the entire series, but one of the best episodes of any show on television in recent memory. Period....  read more
