TV Review: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. “Turn, Turn, Turn” By: Brandon Wolfe *This review contains spoilers for ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’* ‘ Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ’ has been one of the more baffling disappointments in recent memory. This is a series that is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that is spearheaded by pop-culture maestro Joss Whedon and that stars Clark Gregg as the beloved, resurrected Agent Phil Coulson. Given its pedigree, this should have been one of the easiest slam-dunks imaginable, yet one would be hard-pressed to find anything the series has done right in its first season. From its blandly attractive cast to its pedestrian writing to its dull, nonsensical stabs at cultivating a mythology to its utterly uninvolving team of characters, ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ seems less like an extension of the wonderful Marvel film series and more like some lame syndicated show from the ‘90s that aired between Pamela Anderson’s ‘V.I.P.’ and

Former Big Love polygamist Bill Paxton — who showed off his action chops in movies like Twister — will begin an arc of at least four episodes on ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D . starting in late February or early March. "We wanted to bring in a rough-and-tumble former cohort of Agent Coulson [ Clark Gregg ] with a little bit of attitude and cigar-smoking swagger," says executive producer Jed Whedon. Paxton plays Agent John Garrett , who will work alongside agents Ward ( Brett Dalton ) and May ( Ming-Na Wen ) and "comes into the fold in a very surprising way," says executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen. "He is the type who wants to stay out in the field no matter how high-level he gets." In the comic Elektra: Assassin , S.H.I.E.L.D. turned Garrett into a cyborg to save his life after he was injured in the line of duty — but all Whedon will say is that "when Garrett got his promotion to Level 7, he refused to sit behind a desk and

 Here's what we like and hate about Agents of SHIELD. By: MattInRC The Verdict: Three weeks in, and our show's sporting too many cracks in their armor. There's a lot to love about Marvel Studios right now: one could call them the (Mad) titan of promotion, or the Green Rage Monster in the room. All borrowing of Marvel properties aside, we can't help but be consistently impressed with how this studio has promoted itself and keeps the buzz going week after week. So imagine our surprise when the first episode of their new television series Agents of SHIELD debuted three weeks ago; our verdict was 'cautiously optimistic,' happy to see it on the air but worried about casting and rumors of terrible upcoming scripts. When ABC announced this week that they were ordering a full season, we decided to weigh in on what's been working so far and what needs improvement. Sadly, our attitude towards the series has become decidedly worse. What Works From plenty of

It might have been an all-but foregone conclusion, but it’s still good to bring word that Marvel’s Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (or, as we’ll all be referring to it to save time, S.H.I.E.L.D.) has handily scored a place on the ABC network’s schedule across the pond. Now the first teaser footage of the show is online. Featuring Clark Gregg as the myseriously re-incarnated Agent Phil Coulson, the show will focus on a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward ( Brett Dalton ), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May ( Ming-Na Wen ) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz ( Iain De Caestecker ), brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons ( Elizabeth Henstridge ) genius biochemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and compu

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING will be a joint theatrical release by Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions; release date June 7, 2013. The Shakespeare classic comedy was adapted and directed with a contemporary spin by Joss Whedon (THE AVENGERS, last year's Lionsgate release THE CABIN IN THE WOODS) starring Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Nathan Fillion, Fran Kranz, Jillian Morgese, Sean Maher, Clark Gregg, and Reed Diamond . Kai Cole and Joss Whedon produced the film through Bellwether films, with Daniel Kaminsky serving as a co-producer. Shakespeare's classic comedy is given a contemporary spin in Joss Whedon's film, " Much Ado About Nothing ". Shot in just 12 days (and using the original text), the story of sparring lovers Beatrice and Benedick offers a dark, sexy and occasionally absurd view of the intricate game that is love. Writer, director, and producer Joss Whedon hits the big screen again with this inventive, modern-day version of one of William Shakespea
