Breaking In

I was one of those people who were devastated to hear that Breaking In had been cancelled after it's initial run.  I joined the 'Save Braking In' Facebook page and watched endless reruns, mainly for the fabulous antics of Michael Rosenbaum.


The great news is that after being ressurected from the dead 'Breaking In' will air again in the states in 2 weeks - the devastating news is that they will do it with out Micheal's insane character 'Dutch'.  My elation has plummeted as I looked at the cast photo this morning and realised my favourite was missing.   Due to the studios stuffing around they have lost Michael who is committed to directing a movie he has written - great for Michael - dreadful for us.  Who knew Lex Luthor would be such a comic genius - I hope he doesn't stay behind the camera too long.


They have added a new cast member - Megan Mullally (Will & Grace) so we'll just have to wait and see if it lives up to expectation.

Why am I singing the Dawson's Creek song right now?I'm alone at my desk. I might have to crank on some Starship to get that out of my head.

BREAKING NEWS for Breaking In

IT'S BACK!!  Looks like we've done it - power to the people and kudos to 'Save Breaking In' facebook page and all the other avenues that fought for this show.

This is the second improbable return for Breaking In. 
Despite raking as Fox’s highest testing pilot back in 2009, the network passed.  In a clever move Sony kept the project alive by extending the options on the cast. Fox then ordered 2 additional scripts, and in November, the network gave Breaking In a seven-episode midseason order, but in May the network canceled the show before it had finished its run. Sony once again fought on. And, in a promising sign that the network had faith in the show and was open to reconsidering its decision, it joined Sony TV in shouldering the cost for extending the cast’s options and then put Breaking In on the list of contenders for its 2-hour midseason comedy block.
By surviving cancellation twice, Breaking In would join Family Guy as the only shows ever to do it.

The entire cast is expected to come back, including Odette Annable, who recently joined House as a new regular with a deal that includes provisions allowing her to also appear on Breaking In.

What a privilege it is to have Christian Slater back on our screens and if he doesn't sell it for you - watch it to see Michael Rosenbaum's genius turn as Dutch.  You won't regret it.

Thanks for the info - deadline.com

Loving Lex on Twitter....

Michael Rosenbaum (on Twitter)



Another fun day of filming with pals @daxshepard1 @IMKristenBell -real treat.Got crap beat out of me & got to beat someone with a golf club.

A film with Michael, Dax AND Kristen!! Hell Yes!

After extensive research I've discovered the movie is 'Outrun' and according to Dax - 'it’s like a Sundance version of Smokey and the Bandit, a car chase movie. A low-budget car chase movie. All my friends are in it, all of the same group of guys who were in Brother’s Justice are in it.'

Dax is directing and starring alongside Kristen in the film.  we'll have to keep our eye on this one.

Are they really making a new FOOTLOOSE? I mean who are the creative wizards who make these decisions? I want to cry.

The Boys

The Supernatural boys hanging with the Smallville boys.  Before Jensen was a Winchester he lived in Smallville so I'm sure they had a lot to catch up on.

(The fact that Jared lived in Stars Hollow wins out every time though.)

Breaking In....

Smallville may be drawing to an end but at least we still get Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) - Breaking In is fast becoming a favourite not least because of the hilarious 'Dutch' played by Michael. 



This clip will give you an idea of Dutch's charms plus you get some classic Christian Slater and even a guest appearence by an old friend...
Next weeks episode sees the team at Comic Con keeping safe a copy of the new movie 'Goonies 2'.  What I'm really looking forward to is the show's nod to Smallville and Michael's character.  Apparently Dutch buys himself a t-shirt at Comic Con.....  check it out.  GOLD!!

Lex Does Dutch.

BREAKING IN is on tonight's menu at my place - the first episode has aired and I'm looking forward to seeing an old friend in a new role.


Here is Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) talking about his character 'Dutch'....

Breaking In

Breaking In is a new comedy that has just been picked up by the Fox network.  It stars Christian Slater!  Yes - he of the stunningly romantic 'Bed of Roses', one of my favourite 90's films - 'Pump Up The Volume' , 'Heathers' and 'Interview With A Vampire' to name just a few of his gems.  That quirked eyebrow and his numerous brushes with the law defined the 90's for me.


I was keen to give 'Breaking In' a viewing on his name alone but the reason it originally appealed to me is the casting of Michael Rosenbaum - or Lex Luthor.  Originally supposed to be a guest appearance, his performance was so well received by audiences that they have signed Michael up as a regular.  I'm very much looking forward to seeing Michael in a different role, but I am even more curious to see him with hair after 10 years of playing the very bald Lex.

Big News In Smallville!!!

Those of us who are Smallville obsessed have just breathed an enormous sigh of relief.

After nearly a year of will-he-or-won’t-he speculation, Michael Rosenbaum finally agreed to reprise his role as Smallville‘s Lex Luthor in the two-hour season finale.

“I’m delighted to return for the series finale, I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness, and even their threats. Ha ha.” said Michael.
"I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again. Oh, and for Lex to become the bad-ass he’s destined to be.”

That has made my day because how on earth can you contemplate wrapping up the Smallville story without Lex Luthor?

I'll see your badassness and raise you one

He's the bald freak who makes Clark's life hell but it turns out Lex Luthor does it for the ladies!!

(including me I'm afraid to say)

Happily in real life it seems as though these guys get along pretty well.

(although do us all a favour and remove the shiny jacket please Michael)
