CHICAGO – For readers and moviegoers who have come of age with boy wizard Harry Potter, it’s impossible to look back on J.K. Rowling’s immortal series and not be engulfed in a bottomless Pensieve of memories. I wasn’t much of a fantasy buff when I began reading the books. My sister was a fervent fan, and she guaranteed that I would be hooked after the first few chapters.

CHICAGO – “The Dark Knight Rises” director Christopher Nolan on Monday continued his trend of keeping things perplexing and provocative with the release of the film’s first official teaser poster. Fans didn’t even have to crack a viral marketing code to reveal it.

CHICAGO – HollywoodChicago.com publisher Adam Fendelman discusses film openings including “Horrible Bosses,” “Zookeeper,” “Project Nim” and “A Better Life” on WGN Radio on July 9, 2011 with host Bill Moller.

CHICAGO – SyFy’s “Alphas” might have been a reasonable excuse for summer entertainment five years ago but we’ve seen too many shows like it in the last few to give this disappointment a pass. Remember the later seasons of “Heroes”?

CHICAGO – SyFy brings back two of their hits tonight, July 11th, 2011, for brand-new seasons of wacky behavior with an unusual twist. “Eureka” and “Warehouse 13” have a lot in common with their charming, handsome leads, quirky senses of humor, and unique storylines. They’re both about Area 51-esque places that we’re not supposed to know about and the people who keep them under control. For me, there’s an obviously superior program of the two, the best and most successful show currently on SyFy, but I’m sure fans will be happy to have both back for the summer season.

CHICAGO – Brian Tallerico guests on Bill Moller’s show on WGN-Radio in Chicago on July 9th, 2011 to take calls and preview upcoming premieres including “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Damages,” “Rescue Me,” “Alphas,” and more.

CHICAGO – The battle for summer cable dominance continues with another night of new programming on TNT as the very-popular “The Closer” and “Rizzoli & Isles” return for new seasons on Monday nights. With strong female leads and cleverly-devised mysteries, these are strong programs for what they are and they make a solid pair at the start of a long work week. They’re not going to change your life or be your favorite shows of the season, but they deliver what they promise.
