''Heroes'' recap: Kristen Bell's shocking debut

Credit: John Russo For hardcore comic-book fans,Heroeshas never been the most original show on the air. So many of the powers, the dynamics between characters, could be found in the funny pages.

''Heroes'' recap: The good side of evil

That he was just too much same-old, same-old. Is it too late for me to take that back? Lets look at Sylar (a.k.a. Gabriel, or He With the Crazy Hawk Eyebrows). He was a blunt storytelling instrument, but effective. (It fell to H.R.G. to be the complex sharp instrument.) Given the absence of his powers, hes forced to rely on other methods of control. Hes manipulative, scheming, cruel, and, for the first time,interesting....

A poor CinemaScore grade of C, meanwhile, plagued Joshua Jacksons Asian horror remake,Shutter(No. 3), which scared up just $10.7 mil.

''I Am Legend'' to stand alone

Will SmithsI Am Legendis more of a sure thing than the airports being crowded during the holidays. Really, there isnt a genre this movie star cant tackle. The only real question is just how bigI Am Legendwill be. Other new entries for the weekend include Foxs kid picAlvin and the Chipmunksand Yari Film Group ReleasingsThe Perfect Holiday. And yet my sources tell me that it is gaining tremendous steam with all the tracking predictors....

''Idol'' recap: The show goes on

Am I being melodramatic? Yeah, of course. (Yeah, even worse than Janay Castinesseason 4 semifinal rendition of Hit Em Up Style.) And the two songs made me feel like youre not fighting hard enough to get into the top four. (Note the use of charm, a noun attributed to the Dreadlocked Dude all season.) B. Paula was reading from notes given to her by the shows producers. Either way,Idolhas some serious explaining to do....

''Idol'' recap: Voter misfire

I shed a couple tears at the end of tonights episode ofAmerican Idol. Not that I ever had any illusions she might win this thing or even crack the top three. And yet, as in most doomed relationships, I simply didnt know how to quit Carly Smithson. Ah, well, at least well always have Crazy on You. And I Drove All Night. And Come Together, Blackbird, and Here You Come Again....

In other words,America, what were you thinking? Still, for every Chikezie fan on our message boards, you could also find a detractor. He sings with more soul than Chikezie and any other singer in season 7. I think Chikezie should go. And some readers never warmed to the way this weeks bootee sassed back to the judges.

''Jericho'' finale recap: This means civil war!

Must we get a resolution for damn near every problem that was brought up? Maybe we do, but the final episode ofJericholeft me screaming at my television, Are youkiddingme? Well begin with the love story that was, is, and always will be Stanley and Mimi. It was obvious that they would become one hell of a couple, strengthened by Mimis taking a bullet.

And Goetz surely got what was coming to him. you could only be an arrogant, power-hungry fool for so long before it comes back to haunt you. And still I ask, was it all worth $10,000?
