Rudy Boesch, the oldest person to compete on “Survivor,” died Friday from complications of Alzheimer’s disease, according to numerous media reports. He was 91 and was a resident of Virginia Beach, Va.
A former Navy Seal, Boesch appeared on the first season of the reality show in 2000. He was 72 at the time and finished in third place.
Boesch formed an alliance with Richard Hatch, the winner of the first season, who tweeted, “Ours was an interesting bond, Dear Rudy! You and I helped open minds and undermine prejudices. While your time here has passed, you will remain loved and iconic, dear friend!”

Known for his politically incorrect statements known as “Rudyisms” and gruff manner, he nevertheless became a fan favorite.

Who he is: Howard Anthony Walter Stark
His power: No superpowers, but a scientific genius and inventor. Also? Very smooth with the ladies.

In Captain America, he’s introduced at the Modern Marvels Of Tomorrow Expo, promising a flying car in the near future.

At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what's streaming on Netflix, we've got you covered.
TV Worth Watching
"Mad Men" (Sunday on AMC at 10 p.m.)
It's the end of an era. Pour yourself an Old Fashioned and toast the end of "Mad Men," 'cause Don Draper leaves us on May 17. Farewell, Don/Dick, Peggy, Joan, Roger, and -- wherever she is -- Lois the foot-crushing secretary. #TeamLois4Life
"Scandal" (Thursday on ABC at 9 p.m.)
"Scandal" is so devoted to its own name that every episode feels like a season finale. But the real end of Season 4 happens May 14 with "You Can't Take Command." ABC promises it will be "shocking" and since it's "Scandal," we believe it.
"Saturday Night Live" (Saturday on NBC at 11:29 p.m.)
Louis C.K. will host the Season 40 finale with Rihanna as musical guest. We have high expectations for both stars,...

Brad Combest’s first few jobs in Hollywood – as a researcher on Modern Marvels, as a literary agent’s assistant at the Gersh Agency, as an executive assistant at Dreamworks – taught him plenty, but it was his work as a story editor on Robot Chicken that changed his life. It was there that he got a taste for animation and realized it was what he wanted to be doing.
As a production coordinator on the Disney animated feature Wreck-It Ralph, Brad got to be around the director, writers, head of story and voice talent during the entire production process. It was after this that Brad followed his true passion and wrote Sassy Gay Samurai, the latest series to be optioned by Amazon Studios.

And for History’s next miniseries trick…
The network is developing a multi-hour project on the life of Harry Houdini with Adrien Brody attached to star.
The deal just closed and details are scarce. We can tell you that History is developing a miniseries project (working title: Houdini) that traces the arc of the turn-of-the-20th-century master magician’s life from desperate poverty to worldwide fame.
The project is a co-production with History and veteran TV producer (and J.J. Abrams’ father) Gerald W. Abrams (Modern Marvels, 44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shoot-Out). Brody (King Kong, The Pianist) is attached to star...

Last year around this time, I was newly engaged and looking for ways to cut costs in order to save for a wedding. One of the first things I decided to do was terminate my DirecTV service. It was tough to give up a DVR full of "Modern Marvels" and "Tom & Jerry" episodes, but we needed money for mason jars…and also the candles to put in those mason jars. And so, for all of our television viewing needs, we relied on Netflix, streamed through the Nintendo Wii in [shudder] standard definition. When you cut the cord, it's not that you watch less TV, your habits just change. You can't keep up with the latest shows or anything on HBO, but you also don't waste two hours watching "Lizard Lick Towing" on Tru TV, and you never have to see a commercial for "The Olive Garden." You become ruthlessly efficient, working...

History Channel’s Modern Marvels series on gadgets and technology of fictional characters and universes are always interesting. No character’s gadgets are perhaps as interesting as 007 himself, James Bond. The series has covered Batman’s gadgets, Spider-Man, etc, but Bond (along with Batman) are perhaps the most reality-grounded characters the series has covered. The super spy’s gadgetry is put to the test to surprising results.
Gizmos like Bond’s jet pack, various Q-related gifts and gadgets, along with Bond’s training itself are discussed and given a reality-grounding plausibility. It’s not surprising to learn that characters like Bond actually do exist. Spies are a reality. Most are highly-trained badasses, one imagines.

Washington -- Half Yard Productions, the Bethesda, Md.-based entertainment outfit behind the D.C. iteration of Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchise, turned five years old this summer. The Huffington Post caught up with Half Yard principals Abby Greensfelder and Sean Gallagher to dish about their past shows and the changing reality television landscape.
"The stakes are higher now," Greensfelder said. "There's generally, across the board, less margin for making mistakes."
Both she and Gallagher are network veterans, with more than a decade of experience at Discovery Channel and TLC, respectively. The pair have developed a slew of popular shows, from TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress" to History Channel's "Modern Marvels."
Their decision to launch their own company was sparked, Gallagher said, by a desire to tell stories about "interesting characters [and] interesting worlds." But the economic climate has presented obstacles as networks tighten their belts.

DVD Playhouse—November 2011
By Allen Gardner
Tree Of Life (20th Century Fox) Terrence Malick’s latest effort is both the best film of 2011 and the finest work of his (arguably) mixed, but often masterly canon. A series of vignettes, mostly set in 1950s Texas, capture the memory of a man (Sean Penn) in present-day New York who looks back on his life, and his parents’ (Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain) troubled marriage, when word of his younger brother’s suicide reaches him. Almost indescribable beyond that, except to say no other film in history so perfectly evokes the magic and mystery of the human memory, which both crystalizes (and sometimes idealizes) the past. Like Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, this is a challenging, polarizing work that you must let wash over you. If you go along for the ride, you’re in for a unique, rewarding cinematic experience. Also available on Blu-ray disc.

It would seem that another version of the Judah Maccabee story is in development, which has made this entire ongoing Mel Gibson “Judah Maccabee” saga even more interesting. Bruce Nash, producer of “Modern Marvels,” is currently working on a version of the Hanukkah story for a potential television miniseries or movie, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This news comes three weeks after Warner Bros. announced they were working with Mel Gibson to create a movie about Judah Maccabee. However, Gibson’s movie has been rebuked by leaders in the Jewish community due to Gibson’s anti-Semitic comments a few years ago. The dislike the public still has for Gibson is making the...

While many are still wondering if Mel Gibson's long planned Judah Maccabee biopic will go ahead at Warners, someone else has already begun work on a rival project says Risky Biz Blog.
Producer Bruce Nash ("Modern Marvels") is assembling his own adaptation of the Hanukkah origin story. Said project could either be a feature or mini-series, it's undetermined as of now.
Both films would chronicle the successful rebellion, led by Maccabee, that liberated the Second Temple in Jerusalem from the Greek occupier Antiochus and the institution of Hanukkah to celebrate the victory.
While Gibson's version is still in development and has already scored comments from Jewish leaders not happy with the idea, Nash's project already has a finished script by Scott Abbott ("Introducing Dorothy Dandridge").
Nash, Maura Dunbar and Bob Kosberg are producing.

Much like Moses, Judah Maccabee will get competing movies concerning his Biblical exploits. The first to be announced has generated a ton of controversy, since it’s a film about Jews directed by Mel Gibson; Joe Eszterhas is writing, which feels almost as strange to me. Now, THR tells of another project, one produced by Modern Marvels‘ Bruce Nash that’s hitting either theaters or television, the (obviously) latter in a miniseries format.
This even has a script completed, written by Scott Abbott. Maccabbe, as I previously wrote when covering the other film, “teamed with his father and four brothers to lead the Jewish revolt against the Greek-Syrian armies that had conquered Judea in the second century B.C.” He even created Hanukkah as a way of celebrating his victory; needless to say, the guy’s a big deal. It all sounds like exciting material for some kind of screen adaptation,...

Mel Gibson has some company in his quest to bring the story of Jewish leader Judah Maccabee to theaters. Producer Bruce Nash ('Modern Marvels') is planning his own version of the Hanukkah origin story, with eyes on making it either a film or a television miniseries. Obviously Nash isn't as high-profile as Gibson, but he also doesn't have Gibson's scandalous anti-Semitic baggage either. Nash's project has another edge: a finished script by Scott Abbott, who wrote 'Winchell' and co-wrote 'Introducing Dorothy Dandridge' for HBO.

Leonardo DiCaprio came of age as a star in the late nineties and his collaboration in the first decade of the twenty-first century with Martin Scorsese allowed the director to get his money to make three films together, the second of which is out this week on Blu-ray.
The Aviator is an epic telling of the rich story of the influential businessman and aviator Howard Hughes with his ambition and talents as a man of new ideas perilously coupled with his misplaced trust and his, initially, latent paranoia. His influence and invention in the field of aviation at a time when dominance of the sky was still up in the air and post-war corporate interests began to gather ominously over the United State government makes for a compelling biopic thanks to an intriging central performance and some dizzing visual flights of fancy from Scorsese.

Directed By: Joe Johnston
Starring: Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Hugo Weaving
Old school, Saturday matinee fun, Captain America: The First Avenger is director Joe Johnston’s best since The Rocketeer (1991) and features some of the finest superhero genre costume design ever committed to film.
The assured skill of designer Anna B. Sheppard brings The First Avenger alive, blending potentially high camp ensembles into a believable story environment; one that is essentially a fantasy parallel of our own. It is childish and fun, but with a serious dramatic core at its heart. The 1940s backdrop is rich with costume and production design motifs; muted sepia with flashes of patriotic colour.
Captain America's shield is referenced early in the film with a nifty visual gag involving a taxi cab door.
There is a sense of embracing the period for its all zealous optimism and dewy-eyed wonder at the possibilities of science.

Memorial Day 2011 is here and while we should all take time to thank a veteran and active servicemen and women, it also means for us TVphiles - lots of good programming. So either settle in with some popcorn or make sure your DVR is ready to go.
There are movie marathons. Syfy is busting out its greatest hits in the giant monster oeuvre on Friday, followed by "Star Trek" movies all weekend. TCM and AMC are showing nothing but military movies, including classics like "All Quiet on the Western Front," "From Here to Eternity" and "Patton."
If marathons are your thing, you've got everything from "Firefly" and "Doctor Who" to "House Hunters" and "How It's Made." And if you're a sports fan, while the NBA playoffs are on hiatus, you can still watch a ton of baseball, the 2011 French Open or the annual Memorial Day race the Indianapolis 500.

Saturday is Christmas so I hope everyone out there at least has an idea of what they're doing for the holidays since the chances to get it done are rapidly disappearing. Most websites have helpful guides up to when you need to order things to get them in time for Christmas, but at this point it seems a far better idea to go with gift certificates or donations to charity, since the stores are probably unforgiving hellholes. With that cheerful thought, here's your Tuesday night TV:

"Glee" star Cory Monteith has found a supporter in studio Fox 2000; the studio just bought a pitch as a starring vehicle for the singing-dancing newcomer. This comes immediately following Monteith's big screen debut in Fox 2000's Monte Carlo which stars Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy.
Monteith will also produce the workplace comedy along with Nash Entertainment's Bruce Nash, a prolific reality show producer ("Modern Marvels," "Totally Outrageous Behavior"). The idea came from a Nash intern.

Warners has been dipping into their vaults for many high definition releases of their classic films, and the films starring Humphrey Bogart have been getting particularly nice attention, starting with their beautiful restoration of Casablanca and now continuing with a one-two punch of both The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre and The Maltese Falcon (Warner Bros., Not Rated, Blu-Ray-$24.98 Srp each), both getting restorations as nicely...

Peanuts, brass, cheese. It doesn't quite matter what you throw into the title slide of "Modern Marvels," you're getting the same show in the end. That's not a fault of the show, in fact, it's a deeper theme that the show reveals about our modern world. Here's how it goes.
See, there's something useful that was discovered some time ago. The precise time doesn't matter much once you realize that human progress has been on an exponential scale for some time. If it happened more than a hundred years ago, it may as well as happened a thousand years ago for all the relation it has to the present day. In any case, some clever trick of nature was discovered by us enterprising naked apes, be it a tasty nut, a pliable but shiny metal or even the way that particular forms of rotting actually taste pretty good. Centuries of...

I've spent a lot of my day cleaning up my room here in my parents' house which has caused me to be alternately annoyed by, proud of, and bewildered by the remnants of my teenaged self. Like a younger sister who's smart and a little quirky, but you kind of want to grab by the shoulders and reassure that high school ends and the less you care about it at the time, the less you'll be disappointed by that fact later. This is how I'm going to be spending a lot of my weekend. Should be fun. Here's Thursday night's TV:
8:00 p.m.: "Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night" on ABC. Special presentation.
"America's Home Cooking: What's For Dinner" on PBS. As those of you who have me on facebook know, what's for dinner for me tonight is bacon pancakes. I expect my blood will actually congeal after this...

We lost a television legend today, and there's really no entertaining spin on that. Everything that needs to be said has already been said far more eloquently than I could ever manage. I will say that it seems a little unfair that the generation prior to mine had "The Golden Girls" in their formative years, whereas my generation had "Sex in the City." Here's Thursday night's TV:
8:00pm: "ABC Sports Special: Jimmy Kimmel Live: Game Night" on ABC. Special presentation.
"So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox. New two hour episode. I was talking about this with a friend last night; I really like it in that there's a lot of real talent on display, but hate that about 70% of the show is people talking, rehearsal footage, interviews, and other things that aren't people dancing. I might just DVR it so I can fast-forward through all the useless crap.

Progress! (Perhaps.) Last year at this time, with a prompt from reader Jim Mulloy, this column noted that the History Channel’s salute to St. Patrick’s Day was, for the most part, nothing better than a cheap and thoughtless reinforcement of negative Irish stereotypes. History Channel’s St. Patrick’s Day day-long repeated programming included the two-hour “Paddy Whacked: The Irish Mob,” one hour’s worth of “Modern Marvels: Irish monks referred to whiskey as ‘The water of life,’” another hour of “True Crime,” this...
