In 2011, The Biggest Loser contestant Sam Poueu fell off the side of a five-story building, landing him in the intensive care unit of a San Francisco hospital.
Poueu spent five months in the hospital, including 31 days in an induced coma. He underwent multiple surgeries after being left with a fractured tibia and fibula, punctured lung, severed kidney, shattered pelvis and 67 facial fractures. He also suffered a brain injury, and had to undergo two cranioplasties.
“I was depressed,” Poueu, now 30, tells People. “I had to learn how to walk again. I was showering with a stool because it was difficult for me to stand upright.

"Spock, I do not know too much about these little Tribbles yet, but there is one thing that I have discovered. I like them … better than I like you." –Dr. McCoy, "Star Trek" (1967)
Greetings from the apocalypse! The trouble with Tribbles is not how cute they are but how much they multiply, or in the case of "Star Trek Into Darkness," the silly plot point for which they cameo. That's the only thing I'll spoil from that movie (besides that it stinks), but luckily there's some sweet alternatives this week that boldly go where no J.J. Abrams movie has gone before … coherence.

Oh boy. "Star Trek Into Dumbness" finally fulfills J.J. Abrams' five-year mission to run this franchise through a Cuisinart of stupidity. I would need a spoiler avalanche to make a proper case for how this sequel squanders classic characters and scenarios from...

October Road is a 2007 show that failed to get a chance. The ABC series resonated with viewers quickly and quite frankly, brought the typical network storyline into a whole new direction and path. Starring How to Make it in America's Bryan Greenberg (another that didn't get the chance to reach its full potential), October Road was a family friendly drama that ran 19 episodes and left fans wanting more.

Greenberg played Nick Garrett, who after several years returns to his hometown to face those he wrote a book about. Along the way he reconnects with his friends, family and begins to rekindle his relationship with past flame Hannah Daniels. Well, sort of. Played by That 70s Show Laura Prepon, Daniels also has to rehash her past because of the new arrival.

Best Male LeadRonald Bronstein"Daddy Longlegs"Beginner's luck? Ronald Bronstein is an award-winning writer-director of indie films. But in writer-directors Josh Safdie and Benny Safdie's film "Daddy Longlegs," he makes his film acting debut. Here he plays Lenny, a divorced father of two young boys who has little grasp on parental responsibility and skill, and even less good judgment.When we first meet Lenny, he pompously mouths off to the school principal in a juvenile defense of his two boys. That scene sets our teeth on edge for what's to come. Lenny takes his sons on vacation with a woman he first met at a bar the night before. He brings the kids to his job as a projectionist, then lets them run wild and even operate the projector—badly. Told he can't bring them again, he gives them a wee dose of sedatives that sends them into Stage 4 sleep for days on end.
