Rob researches all there is to know about AMCs highly anticipated Breaking Bad spin-off, Better Call Saul… Warning: contains spoilers for theBreaking Badseries finale.

SoBetter Call Saulis now a time-jumping series which will somehow link three different eras of the sleazy lawyers life....

Might the BBCs Sherlock adapt The Adventure Of The Blue Carbuncle for its 2015 festive special? It features a goose, a shiny gemstone and a punch line punning on Holmes and Watsons Christmas dinner. In crime fiction, it doesnt get much more festive. A host of bumbling Dickensian characters, from the repentant crook to the down-on-his-luck hat owner? Its little wonderThe Blue Carbuncleis a fan-favourite among Doyle readers. Its popularity hasnt escapedSherlockco-creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat either....

Our review of “We Have Manners. We’re Polite.” OITNB Season 2 Finale! Shame, they should have titled the season finale Caputos Shit Storm. Because it really was. Poor guy cant catch a break and no amount of Side Boob is going to save him now. What a fantastic season finale. Hot damn there were some amazing performances this season, and they wrapped up beautifully in this finale! First, Red survives her vicious beat down....

Here are a few of them… All are worth seeing. Superbly shot and laced with unabashed Hitchcockian overtones,Transsiberianis well worth tracking down on VOD. What kind of counter-programming could you possibly put up against a marketing avalanche like that? Well, there was Stephen Frears drama,Philomena, starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan for one. Interestingly, a documentary released on that very same day in July 2012 explored similar themes. Unfortunately for the Siegels, there was a storm coming....

24: Live Another Day set us up for an explosive finale. Our review breaks down what made Jack Bauer’s return successful. Those are fresh legs. Living in the past has inexplicably kept 24 churning in the present. I could never hate you, she says into the phone. Somehow, everything connected perfectly. Transitioning from bad guys has been well-timed out. The slight of hand, especially of late, has been up to24standards....

What Does a Virtual Hyper Cyber Online Webspace Information Superhighway version of Community mean for the shows Future? You know, that thing on the internet that used to be a viable search engine? Actually, on reflection, its not that surprising. By web connection TVs outdated and unrealistic standards,Communitypretty much always underperformed for NBC. But the internet is a magical cesspool where anyone can be a star! And withCommunityspreinstalled, unwavering fanbase of uncritical geeks, this is an undoubtedly good move for Yahoo....

Can the two sides co-exist or is conflict inevitable? That is the heart of the story that Reeves and Serkis set out to tell inDawn. You know, the temperature and the pitching of where Caesar ought to be. I went to USC and I snuck into UCLA. And I said, You know, Im about to do my student film. Can you tell me about rehearsal? And he said, Yeah, Ill talk to you aboutThe Godfatherand how we rehearsed....

A smart, funny episode of Sailor Moon that perfectly utilizes the characters! Ami introduces Usagi and Rei to Mr. Kunitachi, an aging gardener/groundskeeper whose park is scheduled for demolition. Beware the… killer… butterflies? Ill go with it. This eco-friendly episode is a rare example ofSailor Moondelivering a message episode. Which is not to say that the message isnt worthy or that the story isnt well executed. Not in a bad way....

Nobody dies Under the Dome in this week’s Infestation. Marc Buxton peeks at the latest Under The Dome. Things are going to get biblical in Chesters Mill, huh? Ok, I can deal with that. Lets start with some head scratchers. There can be no denying that Big Jim Rennie was a megalomaniacal despot last season. Yes, Jim seems to have turned over a new leaf. Well, Jim loves a challenge and he found one in the aforementioned infestation of caterpillars....

Will there be another physical disc format to follow Blu-ray? Or are we in the last days of physically owning films? As Nigella might say (appropriately enough) you eat first with your eyes. So it is, perhaps, with digital downloads of motion pictures. Would I just be falling foul of cheap sentimentality to paint a digital-only future as a grave new world? Is Blu-ray really going to be the last hurrah for the library-building, package-loving movie buff?...

Twenty years ago, Steve James released his second feature length documentary,Hoop Dreams. Now, James is releasing his latest documentary, one about the life and times of Roger Ebert. So, how is it to make his documentary 20 years later? Steve James:Well, it was an amazing, fortuitous thing that it should happen. Theyre huge documentary fans in general and they just thought this would make a great basis for a documentary....

Spoiler note: we discuss the endings of Edge Of Tomorrow, Source Code and Triangle further down. We have marked where. We all dream of second chances. Colters hard-bitten reply says it all: You ever spent any time in battle sir? Any soldier Ive served with would say that one death is enough. Both films embrace the realism absent from so many blockbusters and make their heroes truly fallible. In contrast, horror is a genre where failure is almost mandatory....

She was sporting her best faux-Morticia Addams dress, vampy fingernails, long black hair and an imperious expression. John Zacherles Roland haunted the airwaves of Philadelphia in 1957. Ray Sparenbergs Selwin kicked off in 1958 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Sid Noels Morgus the Magnificent began practicing his mad science in 1959 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Not so these days. The monster is within Television has entered what may be the true golden age of small-screen horror....
