TV Review: ABC's 'The River' is Original But Not Always Effective
Hollywood Chicago &bull Feb 7, 2012
CHICAGO - Two hours of ABC 's found footage horror drama tonight, "The River," from Executive Producer Steven Spielberg, should at least do one thing for the show - weed out those not interested in following it long-term.

Having said that, network TV viewers complain all the time about how the titans of… Full Story »

It follows an American family as it journeys along uncharted stretches of the Amazon to find its patriarch, one Emmett Cole ("Star Trek's" Bruce Greenwood), a nature-show host who has mysteriously gone missing. Emmett's worried wife is played by Leslie Hope, still memorable from her turn as Jack Bauer's troubled wife on "24" a decade ago. Because this is… Full Story »
