> Battleground

Directed by: Brian Henson Teleplay by: Richard Christian Matheson Original Air Date: July 12, 2006 Reviewed On: February 9, 2007 Buy on DVD

> Plot Outline Renshaw is a professional hit-man who returns from his assassination of a toy-maker to find a package delivered to his penthouse apartment. The package contains a G.I. Joe Vietnam Footlocker, sent to him by the mother of the toy-maker he had recently killed. When he opens the package he finds that the toy soldiers are alive with working copies (albeit miniature) of weapons, jeeps, and helicopters.  > Review Woah, this was an excellent episode, great way to start off a series. This is part of an eight episode mini-series based on Stephen King short stories. This episode didn't have any dialouge, but it didn't need it as it held it's own. This show is great and you should watch it. It was directed by Brian Henson, of muppet fame, and written by Richard Christian Matheson who has also written a few episodes of Masters of Horror, and an episode of Tales From The Crypt. This episode was great, and will recieve four zombie heads from me. Good series, and a great way to start it off!

> Crouch End

Directed by: Mark Haber Teleplay by: Kim LeMasters Original Air Date: July 12, 2006 Reviewed On: February 12, 2007 Buy on DVD

> Plot Outline A newlywed American couple (Bailey and Forlani) honeymooning in London goes to Crouch End to have dinner with a friend. They soon learn the town is not what it appears to be, and the more they get lost, the more they become trapped in another dimension.  > Review This episode wasn't that bad, wasn't that great either, but overall it was a good episode. I liked the story, and the acting was good too. It looks like TNT has a good series on their hands, and being based on the works of Stephen King, you already know it's going to be good. Directed by Mark Haber, who until now I have never heard of until now, and still I don't know who he is. The episode was written by Kim LeMasters, who I also have never heard of, and still don't know of. I'm gonna give this episode three zombie heads, it wasn't as good as the first one, but it was still good, and I really like this series.

> Umney's Last Case

Directed by: Rob Bowman Teleplay by: April Smith Original Air Date: July 19, 2006 Reviewed On: February 12, 2007 Buy on DVD

> Plot Outline After the death of his son, writer Sam Landry (Macy) is so desperate to lead another life, he writes himself into his own book, forcing his long-time character (also played by Macy) to change places with him and live in the modern day. But things get deadly when Landry realizes Umney is trapped and cannot write himself out of his new reality.  > Review This show is really good, it's not really a horror show, but I figured I'd review it anyway because of my love for Stephen King's work. This episode was great, I loved the story, and I loved the acting as well. This series has been solid, and every week it gives us another great episode. I can't wait for the next one, which I will watch now. Directed by Rob Bowman, I didn't know who he was either, but he has also directed episodes of the X-Files. Teleplay by April Smith, who is another television writer who I have never heard of.. I'm going to give this episode what it deserves, with four and a half zombie heads, it was a great episode.

> The End of the Whole Mess

Directed by: Mikael Salomon Teleplay by: Lawrence D. Cohen Original Air Date: July 19, 2006 Reviewed On: February 12, 2007 Buy on DVD

> Plot Outline The world had changed. Violence, war and hatred have been replaced with kindness, peace and love. But at what price? Renowned filmmaker Howie Fornoy (Livingston), with just one hour to live, recounts the details of his brother's (Thomas) worldwide experiment gone terribly wrong.  > Review This episode was interesting, the story was good, as was the acting but I don't know if they should of made this into one of the episodes, but they did and I can't change that. The show was good, I liked it, not as strong as the previous one, still good though. Directed by Mikael Salomon, who hasn't really done very much besides a few episodes of television shows here and there, and a couple movies I've never heard of. The episode was written by Lawrence D. Cohen, who has also written some other screenplay/teleplays of King's work. Decent episode, deserves three zombie heads, which it deserves. I really like this show.

> The End of the Whole Mess

Directed by: Sergio Mimica-Gezzan Teleplay by: Peter Filardi Original Air Date: July 26, 2006 Reviewed On: February 12, 2007 Buy on DVD

> Plot Outline Richard Kinnell (Berenger) is a famous writer who, at a doctor's visit, learns he may soon have to deal with his own mortality. On the drive back to his home, he buys a mysterious painting. Each time he looks at it, it changes to become more menacing and sinister. He pieces together that the painting is trying to kill him…but not if he can destroy it first.  > Review This so far, has got to be my favorite episode of the series. I really liked the story, and the acting in it was perfect. I wasn't expecting this one to be so good, but this show keeps on getting better. TNT has a good thing with this series. This episode was directed by Sergio Mimica-Gezzan, who has directed a few other television series. The episode was written by Peter Filardi, who has also written Flatliners, and The Craft. I've gotta give this episode four and a hlf heads, it was by far the best episode so far, and I can't wait 'til the next one.

> The Fifth Quarter

Directed by: Rob Bowman Teleplay by: Alan Sharp Original Air Date: July 26, 2006 Reviewed On: February 13, 2007 Buy on DVD

> Plot Outline Willie (Sisto), a just-released convict, learns from his dying friend of a map in four parts that reveals the location of several million dollars from a robbery. Seeking revenge for the death of his friend and the money, as well, Willie hunts down the others who hold the remaining three parts to the map, risking his family and his freedom.  > Review Another good episode, this series keeps on cranking them out it seems. I was expecting this episode to be alright at the most, but I was wrong. The story was great, and the acting was good aswell. TNT needs more mini-series' like this, and I'll watch it more often. Another episode directed by Rob Bowman, who has directed episodes of the X-Files. With teleplay by Alan Sharp, who has written other television things, I've not heard of any of them. I'm going to give this episode three and a half heads, I think it really deserved it and I can't wait until next week's episodes.

> Autopsy Room Four

> Plot Outline Businessman Howard Cottrell (Thomas) is on vacation playing one of his many games of golf. Chasing the ball into the undergrowth, he is bitten by a snake and completely paralyzed, showing no signs of life. At the hospital, unable to communicate, he is the key witness to his own autopsy.  > Review Not as good as the previous episodes, but I liked the story alot. The acting was good I guess, nothing special. I really like this series, I think TNT needs more like it, any network for that matter. The episode was alright, it had a good story but I don't think it was right for a television series, I'm sure there was plenty of otehr stories that would of worked better, but it wasn't that bad. Directed by Mikael Salomon, who hasn't really done very much besides a few episodes of television shows here and there, and a couple movies I've never heard of. Teleplay by April Smith, who is another television writer who I have never heard of. I have to give this episode two and a half heads, it could of been better.

> You Know They Got A Hell of A Band

Directed by: Mike Robe Teleplay by: Mike Robe Original Air Date: August 2, 2006 Reviewed On: February 13, 2007 Buy on DVD

> Plot Outline  > Review This was a really good episode, the second best of the series. I really liked it, the acting was good, and the story was fantastic. It's a shame that the series is over already, seems like it just started, it would be great if there was a second series. Written and directed by Mike Robe, who has written and directed other television shows, and movies. Great episode, deserves four heads, and gets them. This was a great series, I wish I'd found it sooner.
