The Good Dinosaur’s Jeffrey Wright: ‘We’re Drawn to Myths’

Acclaimed actor Jeffrey Wright on The Good Dinosaur, The Hunger Games, Westworld and more. So were, in many regards, just in the dark and dependent on him to guide us. That was what I relied on in this process. Well, I just dug deep into my inner Apatosaurus. Thats what I was kind of referencing and bringing to the table as I worked on this. Those are the elements that resonant throughout this story....

The Last Man on Earth: No Bull Review

This review ofThe Last Man on Earthcontains spoilers. And you never give up on family. Its a welcome juxtaposition to the shows first season where romance was on everyones minds. Space Sudeikis was actually returned to and not just a figment of our collective imaginations! And isnt that what family is all about? Rating: 3.5 out of 5

The Sad Story Of Henry: is this TV’s most tragic tale?

Henry the Green Engine’s is a woeful story of neurosis, oppression, abuse and post-traumatic stress. You know, for kids… Childrens stories have happy endings, right? Case in point: everything that happens to Henry the Green Engine inThomas The Tank Engine And Friends. While it looked harmless enough, with its cast of smiley-faced steam trains, it could be bone-chillingly scary. Take, for example, the episodeThe Sad Story Of Henry. Ad content continues below...

The Walking Dead season 6 episode 7 review: Heads Up

This review contains spoilers. It was a great episode, but it came in the middle of some very tense stuff. Its really one of the shows most impressive feats. The episodes connected to Alexandria all bleed into one another, slowly elevating the stakes for everyone involved. There are pauses, plateaus, but theres no let-up at any time. In the wake of the Glenn struggles, is Daryl really safe? I have to give a great deal of credit to writer Channing Powell for this weeks episode....

The Knick There Are Rules Review

The veteran directors work gives the show its own distinctive flair and soul. Soderberghs camera rests steadily on the exposed muscle and tumor thats killing Mrs. Chickering. There is hardly a sound in the quiet O.R. besides the ticking of an unseen clock that seems unbearably slow. Suddenly Alge and Bertie are on the clock as Mr. Chickering puts it. The clock which once seemed to tick impossibly slow now thumps away like a caffeinated heartbeat....

Jessica Jones episode 1 viewing notes: AKA Ladies Night

Here’s the first of our episode-by-episode viewing notes for Marvel’s Jessica Jones, available now on Netflix… Thats taken almost verbatim from the comic, where it forms the opening scene of the series. I forget how much bad language slipped intoDaredevil, but I dont remember it being this densely packed. Carrie Anne-Moss is playing Jeri Hogarth, a gender-flipped version of Jeryn Hogarth. Jeryn was introduced inIron Fist #6(August, 1976) as the attorney for Heroes for Hire....

Why Rear Projection Was the Original Greenscreen

We take a look… The internet often becomes an echo chamber when it comes to films. Not just about films themselves, but also what the best way to make them is. Greenscreen, the means by which film sets facilitate later digital additions, has a particularly poor reputation. Not even James Bond himself could escape it… But how does it work? You know, the one your dads watched umpteen-billion times on a sleepy weekend afternoon....
