There was a brief moment there in 2004 when Desperate Housewives was everywhere. With networks picking up the slack from the great HBO shows that helped redifine modern television, Housewives was clever, and was quickly an Emmy favorite. It launched Eva Longoria – who nearly became a movie star – and gave Teri Hatcher the “big return” role, while Marcia Cross and Felicity Huffman gave it dignity, and in return got paychecks. And though there was cast drama, the show burned bright, and has now faded, with a scheduled May 2012 end date.

Several weeks ago it was confirmed that “Desperate Housewives” star Teri Hatcher would make a guest appearance on The CW’s “Smallville.” If you’re not a fan of the Superman franchise, or have no knowledge of Hatcher’s acting resume prior to “Housewives” let me school you.

To begin with, the visuals in Coraline are more than anyone could ever ask for. From the minut stitching’s on Coraline’s sweater that you literally feel like you can touch to the wide shots of the gardens filled with flowers and lights.
