Why that happens is as yet unclear, but all will be revealed. For those still craving their Holmes fix in the meantime, the new filmMr. All things considered, its a great time to be a follower of Sherlock Holmes. Were never too far away from another reimagining of the master detectives story. And thats all before we broaden the scope of our inquiries by investigating media other than film and television…...
It would be fought here, in our present. Stripped of its dialogue, sound effects and music, can the sequence still communicate its message? WatchThe Terminators opening again without sound, and youll see just how effective and lean its visual storytelling is. We watch as the T-800 pulls up on a road where children are playing in the sunshine. The shot also symbolises how effectivelyThe Terminatorplays with the conventions of the slasher horror genre....

The witches brew up a killer finale. Here is our review of Salem season 2 episode 13. SPOILER ADVISORY:Watch it first, read it, watch it again. The season finale was so unexpected it had gasp moments that had nothing to do with frights. It was as flawless as it was fun. Last weeks episode ended when Mary (Janet Montgomery) made the ultimate sacrifice a mother could make. Never underestimate a witchy mama....
Scream is returning to television this week with a new MTV series. We look back on the franchise’s history and why this might…make sense. And Im here to ponder why this is a wonderful idea…or not. Sure, the follow-ups never matched the first film, but none of them are truly bad movies either. So, there must be an obvious reason why it must appeal to a new generation…right? Horror, meanwhile, was in its death throes by 1995....
And you get to see him naked. Which can only be a bonus. The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Its fair to say that this 2005 movie was not entirely well-received. But one thing we can all agree on was the casting of Stephen as the voice of The Guide. Absolute Power On to the small screen now with this satirical BBC Two sitcom from the Noughties. Fry played the rather unpleasant, manipulative and conniving Charles Prentiss....
And the response is both understandable and predictable: has Hollywood run out of ideas? And yet Id argue its not that simple. Lets deal with the bit thats our fault first. If we didnt go and see all these remakes, they wouldnt make them. It really is that brutally simple. Remakes walk hand in hand with sequels, franchises and cinematic universes. They lessen the risk for a movie studio. Thats pretty much the core reason for their existence....
Whats not to love about the concept and pedigree behindDark Matter? However, my high hopes for the series only serve to heighten my disappointment in this latest installment. I found myself lamenting far too many moments of squandered potential. Things were on track for awhile there. The characters we saw develop last week were getting even more depth, and I was totally on board. Thank goodness Fives dreams were not some unexplained magical or psychic power!...
After a clunky pilot episode,Killjoysgets much more fun in its second outing: The Sugar Point Run. (Even the title has more energy.) Thats not to say theres no world-building or serialized strands in this second episode. There is, its just more organically woven into the tale. Sugar Point is a wasteland. Its workers rose up against The Company and families were killed for it. As Davin puts it to Dutch: Killjoys are The Quads bagmen....
Detective Shafe gets rent on the cuff without handcuffs. Here is our review of Aquarius season 1 episode 6. Hodiak is tending to the knuckles he broke on Charles Mansons face last week. Manson doesnt want the women to think he has any weakness. The corporate mouthpiece is a delicate piece of work for a cutthroat litigator. But then we see that its just coming out of an upturned wine bottle....
How does Ant and Decs Alien Autopsy, about a faked alien video from 1995, hold up? Rob has a look… Alien Autopsyis one of the most re-watched films in my DVD collection. Bear with me a little here. Is it just a naff film that doesnt deserve the love I gave it in my youth? I re-watched it to find out… Thats how dull these scenes are. However, they serve a purpose that it would probably have been difficult to reach otherwise....
Under the Dome is back for season 3 and things are getting even weirder. Here’s our review! After a year off,Under the Domeis back. Last season of CBSs adaptation of Stephen Kings thrilling novel was not well very good. I say mostly because Norries tale was so brutally melodramatic that the whole thing was just painful to watch. Her relationship with Joe was the shows emotional core in the first season....
There are still a lot of questions after the big reveal, so don’t sleep through it. Here is our review of Wayward Pines Season 1 Episode 6. Where does the show head now, after learning what we did? We arent given any sort of context yet, but its frightening nonetheless. Seeing Toby Jones Dr. Pilcher, a usually unflappable man, so frightened is frightening in and of itself. They arrive at a high-tech headquarters, hidden inside the rocks....
