SHEMAR MOORE BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE

When Criminal Minds star, Shemar Moore, turned 40 on April 20, the staff of Shemar Moore's Paradise made a Birthday Tribute Video in his honor. Many thanks to Lele, who put it all together. We hope that Shemar enjoyed his special day, and has a grand time at his upcoming celebration.

CRIMINAL MINDS ~ The Good, The Bad and The Great

After the abysmal episode, "The Fight (April 7)," which most true CRIMINAL MINDS fans hated, the series came back strong last week (April 14) with "Rite of Passage." It had action, humor, and a strong storyline, everything CM fans love. The only thing "The Fight" had was Forest Whitaker, fine actor, but lacking the charisma needed for the Sam Cooper lead role in the MINDS spin-off.


This week (April 21), we will be treated to an encore showing of "100," which may be the finest episode of the series. The entire cast is stellar in this episode where Hotch (Thomas Gibson) has a final showdown with "The Reaper" (C. Thomas Howell). This one is every bit worth viewing a second time. Also stars: SHEMAR MOORE, Matthew Gray Gubler, Joe Mantegna, Paget Brewster, A.J. Cook, Meredith Monroe, and Jayne Atkinson.

HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY, SHEMAR MOORE!

Happy Birthday, Shemar!
Wishing you all the best on your special day!
April 20

CRIMINAL MINDS Spin-Off Episode Sucked!

Last night (April 7) was the CRIMINAL MINDS episode that introduced the new spin-off series. In an episode called "The Fight," a second team of BAU profilers was featured, led by Sam Cooper (Forest Whitaker). While Whitaker is known to be a fine actor, he does not have the presence or charisma to be the lead actor in a series.

The episode felt hurried and the plot was hard to follow. The lame writing, combined with little character development, made the program very disappointing. Our beloved regular cast was short-changed and had very little screen time. The new cast showed absolutely no chemistry among the actors.

The entire hour had me longing for a regular episode of CRIMINAL MINDS, and vowing not to waste another hour of my time on this inferior version. Thumbs down, CBS!
