Syfy brings us its newest addition to its ever expanding paranormal reality show line-up, Haunted Highway. Haunted Highway stands out in the paranormal landscape by featuring two teams of two: Jack Osborne and Dana Workman, and from Syfy's Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files, Jael de Pardo and Devin Marble, without a film crew in tow. The two teams set out highway road trip style to investigate separate paranormal mysteries in remote locations.

The first episode centers around two cryptid species, Bear Lake Beast and the Vergas Hairy Man. Haunted Highway teams interview locals that give their take on paranormal claims; an investigation ensues and concludes with the findings. With the found footage documentary style ala Blair Witch it helps to set the mood. The Haunted Highway teams have a strong list of paranormal figures which include Hell Hounds, Swamp Woman, and Skinwalkers in this six-episode season.

When the new drama Perception debuts on TNT next week, fans will recognize a number of familiar faces including Eric McCormack (Will & Grace), Rachael Leigh Cook (Psych), and Kelly Rowan (The OC).

But perhaps the most anticipated performance is that of LeVar Burton, who returns to episodic television after a lengthy absence. Burton is best known to younger audiences for his dual roles as Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation and as host/executive producer of the award winning PBS series Reading Rainbow.

Perception is a police procedural that centers on Dr. David Pierce (McCormack), a professor of neuroscience and a paranoid schizophrenic who assists the FBI with difficult cases. Burton plays Paul Haley, dean of the university where Pierce works.

In a phone conversation, Burton explained that he had worked with series creator Ken Biller on Star Trek: Voyager, and what drew him to Perception, he said, was not the character Biller created so much as the quality of the writing.

Katie (Kelly MacDonald), the only single woman left on the small Scottish island of Hegg, lives a boring life with her sick mother. All that changes when the island is visited by famous movie star Lara Tyler (Alice Eve) and British author James Arber (David Tennant), as they come to the remote location after their first wedding attempt was botched by the paparazzi. The island was chosen because James previously described the castle where they would be married and the island in his novel - in gross exaggeration. Lara's assistants work feverishly to transform an entire castle to be perfect for the bride, as well as take precautions to keep the press at bay.

When it's apparent that the press cannot be so easily swayed, the assistants decide to find a decoy bride.

Most people may recognize Brandy Norwood as a pop star, but she is also an actress in her own right. She is probably most known for her starring role in Moesha, but she has also appeared on television on series such as the new 90210 and The Game. She has appeared on the silver screen as well, in films such as I Still Know What You Did Last Summer and the upcoming The Marriage Counselor.

Recently Brandy returned to television for Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva, where she reprised her role of Elisa Shayne.

The digital media recently talked to Brandy about guest starring in Drop Dead Diva. Her second episode this season premieres July 8.

When I first received the DVD to review, I wasn't sure what to think with it's title, but don't let that deter you. In retrospect, the title actually fits the mood of the film.

Some Guy Who Kills People is partially a horror movie - it does have murder and blood and guts - but it's also a great character driven story. The star of the film is Kevin Corrigan, who plays the character of Ken Boyd. Boyd is 34 and still living at home with his mother (Karen Black), working as an ice cream parlor attendant. Boyd is very quiet and withdrawn - he's returned from a mental institution after severe mental trauma from being beaten and tortured by a group of high school kids. He releases tension by his comic art, where he can live out his dark fantasies of revenge.
