Directed by Michael Crichton, Coma was among the eeriest conspiracy thrillers of the 1970s. Aliya takes a look back… The 1970s was a great decade for the conspiracy thriller. Hes a likeable guy. Initially I think were meant to feel ambivalent about whether shes uncovering a conspiracy or not. Wed believe Robert Redford from the word go Genevieve Bujold, were not so sure about. This element highlights a script that asks you to consider what its like to never really be heard....

that it could only be Sleepy Hollow. Now thats more like it, Mr. Crane. I havent been this giddy since I was puttin on the Ritz. Alas, the episode had some less welcome developments as well. At first, Abbie seems reluctant about playing the role of a modern day Prometheus. However, Ichabod insists, This Kindred wouldnt be a monster; hed beourmonster. I dont know, but personally, I think Caliban has a nice ring to it....

You know, it was kind of a combination of things. It was the audacity of the material, for one. Theres a full levity to this thing, it doesnt take itself seriously at all. And then you have Elijah Wood, and John Cusack, and all these people I knew and loved. And, you know, I like playing villains! And it fit with my schedule, which oftentimes this stuff doesnt when I get asked....

Boardwalk Empire will knock the wind out of you and leave it by the side of the road. The beach is universal. A shot of sea and sand looks the same whether its in Cuba or theBoardwalk Empireof Atlantic City. The opening shot of Cuanto has that natural ambiguity. How could the Commodore not love little Nucky? The kid is smart and yet such a great foil. No wonder Nucky (Steve Buscemi) became a politician....

Den of Geek: Every project that you do is obviously a huge investment of years and time. Ad content continues below Travis Knight: There are a couple of criteria that come into play. In the simplest terms we make family films. We make films geared toward family. But thats kind of a key threshold that something has to cross. So that draws a certain shape around it all. It isnt like a little pop culture confection, a little bit of ephemera....

Our review of The Simpsons season premiere contains some spoilers, so beware! Can you stop comforting me now? The Simpsonshas been dealing with mortality more and more lately. Like an Abe Simpson reading the obituaries and not because hes looking for real estate. I love Krusty the clown. Even when I tell them I need their fingerprints on a pair of candlesticks. The kids didnt think everything was all right with the opening couch gag, though....

Nick tells us why Charlie Higson’s zombie horror series is properly scary, thrilling stuff… Excuse the pun, but zombies have been done to death havent they? So if you only read books for that, then you should probably go elsewhere. But rather than backfire, it allowed Higson to genuinely make a post-apocalyptic world of real substance. The writing is so clear and concise that youre never lost in the myriad plot developments....

I must say I did not see that coming. Space Dandyhas been my favorite show for a long, long time. It could be a zombie story. Or a time travel story. Or a rumination on loneliness. Or a detour on an alien who just wants the best smile. This show was insane. They want to use Dandys pionium to power their weaponsorry,superweapon. That this seemingly non-canon show is perhaps the most canonical, connected, serialized show theres been....

Jack O’Connell stars in ‘71, a white-knuckled ride into the heart of Belfast’s Troubles. Here is our review of the NYFF film. It draws the viewer into his immediate plight, but it leaves Hook surprisingly distant. Not the first such statement about war, it nevertheless has a visceral horror during the pictures best scenes.

The most revealing aspect ofGone Girls approach is the casting of Ben Affleck in the role of Nick Dunne. This is revealed within seconds to be a sham. The date that this film marks in trailing whispers is obviously the red letter one where Amy vanished. Theres also Tyler Perry as Tanner Bolt, a reassuring subversion of the celebrity lawyer cliches. Just the way Fincher likes it. The horror ofGone Girlcomes from flirting with death row for two and a half hours....

Mako-chan gets the spotlight in this middling episode of Sailor Moon classic. They use it just enough that theres an impact when they poke fun at it. Its not just used idly here, though. Through her pursuit of Motoki, we learn more about Mako-chans character. Its interesting that no one shuts Jupiter down in this episode. Yeah, she wants Motoki. What I love about Jupiter is what an exceptionally romantic character she is....

Our letters page is back! Are we doing a podcast? Are we mean to X-Men Origins: Wolverine? The answers lie right here… Ah, youve been busy. As such, this is our longest letters page yet. So, here goes: … but what I really wanted to do was ask you a few questions. Why all the love forHeat? Why all the love forBlade Runner?
