The 19 Greatest Character Transformations on Film

Jekyll and Mr. Hydefilm was released as a motion picture. But it had one terrific aspect for its era: a transformation scene. Its one of the earliest examples of such trick photography, showcasing a character becoming someone orsomethingelse entirely. Here are 19 of the greatest physical character transformations on film. Paupers become kings before our eyes. The queen of hearts becomes flesh and blood, and steps out of a playing card....

William Monahan interview: The Gambler, Oblivion and more

I wouldnt do anything unless I had my own angle. You merely have to look at Shakespeare to know this. Stories are a dime a dozen and everybody has them. There was a previousHamlet, but not now there isnt. I dont believe in addiction. There are substance dependencies but those are also voluntary. If you look at an addiction, so called, you always find self-indulgence or wilfulness. Just because people have careers saying otherwise doesnt make it true....

Empire: The Outspoken King, Review

Empire can hang with the best of them in the late-night soap game. Read our latest review! The late-night soap game is getting crowded. I definitely didnt expect it to come in the form ofEmpire. Honestly, my fears rested on a larger audience embracing hip-hop culture. The music, especially in this episode, avoids being intrusive or artificial and fits snuggly into the narrative. Its ridiculous and ridiculously fun, like Kanye West screaming to hurry up with his damn croissant!...

Hindsight: Square One Review

Once again I’m under the Hindsight spell. Here’s our review for last night’s episode. Becca spends the episode repaving her old life with a little old and a little new. Oh yeah, she saw. But, she considers it after a conversation with her mother and even begins packing. Cue the Clark Kent-esque future fiance to knock on the door and overtake her with a passionate kiss.

It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia: Season 10 Premiere Review

The Gang is still around, still drunk and still breaking records in the season 10 premiere. The deranged intensity ofAlways Sunnymust surely take its toll on the cast. Its fair to wonder what their process is and how they cope with the pain. Do the actors behind the booziest characters on television toss a few back before the cameras roll? I have tried that, and thats actually a really bad idea, Olsen confessed toYahoo....

On Location with Syfy’s 12 Monkeys

Its a blustery late-November afternoon and there are an underwhelming amount of monkeys roaming the snow-dusted streets of Toronto. There are none, actually. They keep them concealed inside a production studio the size of an airplane hangar on the outskirts of downtown. The monkeys held there, Im told, are dangerous, but I wasnt to be deterred. Where in this time-traveling wasteland could they be? Ad content continues below I saw nothing resembling a primate while on set....

The Fall Season 2 Review

Gillian Andersons cat-and-mouse serial-killer saga digs deeper and is just as brutal in its second season. Hes not a human being. Men like Spector are all too human; too understandable. Hes not a monster, hes just a man. In 2013,The Fallspremiere was the highest-rated program out of Ireland in eight years. So its not surprising Netflix quickly picked up the compelling serial-killer drama for North American consumption. But this doesnt just stop with Gibson either....

Agent Carter: Time and Tide Review

The newest episode of Agent Carter features a dangerous assassination plot and a deeper look into Peggy’s world. Our review… Two things struck me as I was watching this weeks installment ofAgent Carter. Seriously, think about that. Secondly, this series evokes two different sets of Avengers. The first is obviously Marvels Greatest Heroes. You know, Cap, Iron Man, Hulkthose guys. But the second is this great John Steed and Emma Peel quality between Peggy and Jarvis....

Marvel, Star Wars, and No Surprises

But no matter how goodStar Wars#1 is, there are no surprises to be found. You cant argue with talent like that. I wouldnt want to have to deal with it, either. And so, the comparison with previous Star Wars licensees becomes inevitable. Ad content continues below Im not one to complain too loudly about matters of continuity. A lifetime of dedicated comic book fandom has taught me not to get too attached to the particulars....

Parks and Recreation: 2017/Ron & Jammy, Review

Parks and Recreation makes its triumphant final season return with this hilarious two-parter. and Shit!Parks and Recis ending! NO!!!!! One of the best parts ofParks and Recis the love and admiration that the characters share for each other. It just feels wrong hearing Leslie compare saying Rons name to saying Voldemorts. Can you smell that? Can you tell shes near? The Best of the Rest Rating: 4.5 out of 5

VH1 and Hindsight: 30 Years of “Video Hits One”

Music videos killed the radio star, but who killed music video television? There was no gesture to alert viewers that their regularly scheduled programming would move elsewhere on the dial. It will, however, always be hamstrung by its name. VH1, or Video Hits One, is facing a similar identity crisis. As the leader changed over the years, VH1 walked the path of resistance for the longest time. Like MTV and many other niche cable networks before it, VH1 maxed out its earning potential....
