This weekend’s B-Sides is the theme song to the 1992 direct-to-video action movie Talons of the Eagle. This song is not for your listening pleasure. This song is a dare – a challenge. Can you listen to the whole thing from beginning to end?
I have never seen Talons of the Eagle. Kind of surprising given it starred Billy Blanks and I was all about those cheesy direct-to-video action movies around the time this came out. The Devil's Rejects' Priscilla Barnes co-stars, and here’s the plot according to the IMDb:
After three DEA agents are killed by Mr. Li (James Hong), martial arts champion Tyler Wilson (Blanks) is sent on assignment to Toronto and teams up with Michael Reed (Jalal Merhi). Wilson and Reed enter a martial arts tournament, where they end up saving Mr. Li from being killed by a rival crime boss. Li invites the two to join his staff.

TNT on Monday night premiered Monday Mornings, from David E. Kelley and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, M.D. (on whose book the series is based). On a TV landscape that plays host to only one resilient hospital drama, is it just what the doctor ordered?

Did anyone else tune in to TNT’s new sobering medical drama, based on the writings of neurosurgeon and CNN correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and find that they now need a stiff drink, stat? I can guess what you’re thinking — “Wait, but what’s the name of the show?” — and it is with a profound sense of befuddlement that I can confirm that Monday Mornings is really the title of a new television show, which airs Monday nights.
The series centers around a hospital’s weekly “morbidity and mortality” sessions, in which chief of staff Dr. Harding Hooten (Alfred Molina...

David E. Kelley has one of the most singular voices in TV today -- it usually only takes a minute or less to realize you're watching one of his shows, and medical drama "Monday Mornings" is no exception.
Kelley used to be one of the biggest showrunners in network TV. After collecting a boatload of Emmys for "Picket Fences," he went on to create hits in "Chicago Hope," "Ally McBeal" and "The Practice." He also had a few high-profile flops, but it wasn't until the consecutive cancellations of "Boston Legal" and "Harry's Law" -- both victims of their older-skewing demographics -- and a futile attempt to get a "Wonder Woman" pilot off the ground, that it made sense for Kelley to test the waters of cable TV.
Working with TNT seems like the perfect fit for an idiosyncratic showrunner like Kelley. He has a proven ability to draw an audience,...

If you dread Monday mornings, you might feel better upon seeing how the doctors in a new drama series start their weeks.
Based on a novel by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, TNT's "Monday Mornings" -- executive produced by David E. Kelley ("Boston Legal," "Ally McBeal") and appropriately premiering on a Monday, Feb. 4 -- centers on a ritual for the surgeons at a Portland, Ore., hospital. Each Monday, Chelsea General's quietly fearsome chief of staff (played by Alfred Molina) cross-examines them about operations they've performed ... with the questioning particularly intense if they were unsuccessful.
Jamie Bamber ("Battlestar Galactica") and Jennifer Finnigan ("Better With You") portray two of the doctors, whose personal involvement makes them even more a mutual support system in the face of being interrogated on their professional decisions and actions. Ving Rhames ("Pulp Fiction") also stars as the hospital's trauma chief, with Bill Irwin, Emily Swallow,...

God complex anyone? Jamie Bamber's character Dr. Tyler Wilson
gets knocked off his pedestal in the Monday Mornings pilot.
For most of us, Monday mornings are when we drag ourselves out of weekend mode and get back to the grind of our respective jobs. On the new David E. Kelley-created medical drama, Monday Mornings are the time when the doctors at the fictional Chelsea General Hospital in Portland, Oregon must defend themselves on the decisions and actions made that have often lead to huge mistakes and, in the worst cases, death.
The series was born out of the book of the same name by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who is also Executive Producer of the series. Kelley, of course, brought us memorable series like Ally McBeal, Picket Fences and Boston Legal, and this marks his first made-for-cable series. With an impressive cast including Alfred Molina, Bill Irwin, Ving Rhames,...

Chicago – David E. Kelley is one of the most influential and important TV voices of the modern era with massive hits like “L.A. Law,” “Picket Fences,” “Chicago Hope,” “The Practice,” “Ally McBeal,” “Boston Public,” and “Boston Legal”. However, it’s been a few years and a few failures for Kelley in the recent past and he’s overdue for another hit. Maybe it will be TNT’s “Monday Mornings,” premiering tonight and delivering in unexpectedly successful ways.
Television Rating: 4.0/5.0
I approached “Monday Mornings” with serious trepidation, exhausted by the seemingly neverending cycle of crappy medical dramas (recent entries include “The Mob Doctor,” “Saving Hope,” and even sorta “Do No Harm”). Another medical drama. Woohoo. And the opening beats of this intense look into the life of neurosurgeons based on the novel by CNN correspondent Sanjay Gupta felt overly familiar. And then “Monday Mornings” started to work on me. The ensemble...

Jamie Bamber is making good progress completing the leading-man checklist. Hotshot pilot? Check. (Apollo on Battlestar Galactica) Hotshot cop? Check. (Matt Devlin on Law & Order: UK) Hotshot doctor? Well, that’s where Tyler Wilson on Monday Mornings comes in. The chisel-jawed Brit plays the brilliant but tormented neurosurgeon at the head of David E. Kelley’s new medical drama — premiering at 10pm Feb. 4 on TNT — which is based on a novel by real-life neurosurgeon (and CNN staple) Dr. Sanjay Gupta. It’s a step up in prominence from his parts on other ensemble shows, this time shouldering much of [...]...

Jennifer thinks Ben’s ‘the one.’ But Ben’s best friend says Ben’s ‘pretty upset’ about Ashley — and may even decide to do ‘The Bachelor!’
Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt is totally into Bachelorette loser Ben Flajnik, but it seems the 28-year-old winemaker just doesn’t feel the same way. Just days after their Aug. 6 date at Lion Pub in San Francisco, Ben tweeted he was single. Well, it seems that Ben’s still not over Ashley Hebert, 27. And while he’s trying to move on, his date with Jennifer, 32, must have not meant much as he’s also been hanging out with former Bachelor contestant Britt Billmaier, 25, and even considering going on his own journey to find love as ABC’s next Bachelor!
Jennifer, who’s faced plenty of heartbreak in the past, may be heading down that same road again. She seems to think that Ben’s “the one,...

11-year-old Ohio native Tyler Wilson became national news back in September when he was bullied at school for wanting to be a cheerleader. Apparently the other kids thought that was worthy of a beating that led to a broken arm for Tyler.
Bullying certainly isn't a new issue in schools, but it's getting more attention lately, as big-name celebrities are speaking out against it.
When Tyler's story made headlines, the cast of The CW's 'Hellcats' made a PSA reminding kids that it's their right to be whatever they want to be; they even invited Tyler to the show's set to see some tough TV cheerleaders, male and female, in action.
AOL TV is proud to share this exclusive behind-the-scenes video of Tyler's visit to Vancouver, including anti-bullying messages from stars Aly Michalka, Matt Barr, Heather Hemmens and Robbie Jones; Tyler learning...
