Jaime Ray Newman is one of the witches of Eastwick

Jaime Ray Newman has landed one of the three leads in ABC's drama pilot Eastwick, based on John Updike's The Witches of Eastwick; Veronica Cartwright, who co-starred in the 1987 feature film also based on the book, was cast in a supporting role, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Loosely based on the theatrical feature, Eastwick follows three young witches who come into their powers. Newman (Made of Honor) will play Kat, a good-natured nurse and a mom of five kids.

The Gratuitous B-Movie Column 02.23.09: Issue #48

Posted by Bryan Kristopowitz

"Momentum" (2003)

Hello, everyone, and welcome once again to the internets movie review column that thinks pancakes are cool, The Gratuitous B-Movie Column, and I am your host Bryan Kristopowitz. In this issue, issue number forty-eight, I take a look at the 2003 sci-fi action flick "Momentum."

"Momentum," directed by James Seale, is a fairly decent low budget sci-fi action flick that, in the end, acts more like a made-for-TV movie serving as a kind of back door pilot to a TV series that never materialized. Or perhaps just the first in a series of low budget sci-fi action movies, a kind of direct-to-video franchise featuring decent actors, effects, and action sequences. But since this flick isn't from the early 1990's and not produced and distributed by Charles "Trancers" Band's Full Moon Entertainment, not to mention the fact that one of the flick's stars, Teri Hatcher, probably wouldn't set foot on the set of a sequel unless she was paid about ten million dollars (she is on "Desperate Housewives," which premiered a year after "Momentum" debuted on the Sci-Fi Channel, so she's an artist and artists don't do sequel unless they're well paid), the chance of a proper sequel, now six years since the first, is oh so very slim.

The flick stars Grayson McCouch as Zachary Shefford, a mild mannered teacher recruited by a shady government operative named Raymond Addison (Louis Gossett, Jr.) to infiltrate a group of potential domestic terrorists. Why Shefford? Shefford shares certain specific abilities with the domestic terrorists (actually, it's just one ability), the ability to move things with his mind, also known as telekinesis (or psychokinesis, which is just bull**** but it's a movie so whether or not it's bull**** doesn't really matter), and because he shares such an ability, the terrorists will more easily accept him into their group (or so Addison claims).

... Which then brings us to Teri Hatcher's involvement in the story. Hatcher plays Jordan Ripps, an FBI agent with a reputation for butt kicking and whatnot (she's a bit of a minor celebrity among law enforcement because of some heroic thing she did that got her on the cover of national news magazines). She catches the attempted armored car robbery case and, with her wise cracking partner Frank McIntyre (Carmen Argenziano), slowly finds out about the telekinetic bullstuff and Addison and Project Momentum. As you'd expect, Ripps eventually teams up with Shefford as he tries to stop Geiger, that whole race against time thing.

... Louis Gossett, Jr. does a great job as the shady government operative Raymond Addison. There's a scene in an ambulance where Addison tortures a telekinetic by shooting him in the leg. At that very moment, if you didn't know what kind of character Addison was meant to be, you found out damn quick. He's a mean, rotten ******* killer and "patriot." His job is to protect the country no matter what. He will do whatever it takes to do so. He'll even take orders from Zach Galligan. If you're willing to take orders from Billy Peltzer and not rip his head off then you're very serious about your job. Michael Massee is excellent as the fugitive telekinetic Adrian Geiger. He has that dark and mysterious yet charismatic leader thing down pat, which is what the part calls for. I just don't understand why the flick doesn't focus on him and make him the actual lead character. What we get is good, though ...
