Michael C Hall in 'Dexter' - Photo Courtesy of Showtime
Showtime’s Dexter finds our favorite serial killer-killer trying to keep one step ahead of Deb and the rest of the Miami-Metro Police Department while still feeding his dark passenger’s needs.
“Swim Deep” Plot:
While trying to uncover why someone was killed on his boat, Dexter (Michael C Hall) must out-maneuver a vengeful Isaak. New leads are brought to light on the Wayne Randall (Daniel Buran) case by Hannah McKay (Yvonne Strahovski), Randall’s alluring former accomplice who Dexter discovers has a secret.
Rebecca Hall, Bruce Willis, Vince Vaughn, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Joshua Jackson star in the comedy Lay the Favorite based on a true story. Directed by Stephen Frears, Lay the Favorite hits theaters on December 7, 2012.
The Plot:
Beth Raymer (Hall) leaves behind her life as a stripper in Florida and heads to Las Vegas to realize her dream: being a cocktail waitress in a glitzy casino. But, when her career goals don’t pan out, she falls in with Dink (Willis), a kind and idiosyncratic sports gambler. Beth wins Dink’s admiration when she shows herself to be something of a gambling prodigy, but she also wins the ire of Dink’s wife, Tulip (Zeta-Jones), when her relationship with her boss seems to extend beyond the professional.

Howie Mandel is getting back into the game show business with Take It All, a new series that will have a one-week run on NBC during the December 10-14, 2012 holiday week. The show’s set to air at 9pm ET/PT, finishing up with back-to-back episodes at 9pm and 10pm on December 17th.
Due to the updated schedule, The Voice will air a one hour version instead of its usual two hour show on December 10th and 17th.
Details on Take It All:
In the show, a contestant selects and opens a prize worth thousands of dollars; dream prizes such as luxury cars, exotic trips, jewelry and VIP experiences. Then, the next player is faced with a dilemma: do they steal a prize that has already been revealed, or do they take a chance with another unopened prize, hoping what’s inside is worth more?
But that’s just the beginning. When there are only two contestants left, the players have a life-changing choice to make: keep the prizes they have — or try and take all the prizes. If both players choose to “keep mine,” they will each keep the prizes they have won in the prior rounds. If one player chooses “keep mine” and the other chooses to “take it all,” the player that chose “take it all” will go home with all the prizes — theirs and their opponents. But if both choose “take it all,” they both go home with nothing. The stakes are insanely high as each contestant grapples with the choice of a lifetime.

Disney’s released another promotional video for the animated family film, Wreck-It Ralph, featuring the voices of John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, Alan Tudyk, Mindy Kaling, and Ed O’Neill. Wreck-It Ralph, directed by Rich Moore, hits theaters on November 2, 2012.
The Plot:
For decades, Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.
On his quest, Ralph meets tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty, and feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush, who may just be his first real friend. But everything changes when a deadly enemy is unleashed, threatening the entire arcade and Vanellope herself. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the day—but can he do it in time?
