But the trend of re-tooling previous Disney animated classics really broke with Tim BurtonsAlice In Wonderland. It certainly doesnt look like therell be many musical numbers, so perhaps thats unfair. Given the dark tone of his previous films, were intrigued by how this might have panned out. Hes been replaced by Kenneth Branagh, and the film will be in cinemas in March next year. In other casting news,Alices Red Queen, Helena Bonham Carter, will play the Fairy Godmother....

Mad Menhas officially returned for the series seventh and final season. Some television is meant for binging, butMad Menis like a fine wine. The bottle is almost gone. Speaking of empty bottles, last season we left Don Draper in a pile of them. His marriage, professional life, and his relationship with his children were all left in shambles. The swinging sixties left everyone on the downswing last year. Hell, Ken Cosgrove lost an eye....

You gotta admire the persistent tribute, really. This episode was written by Marco Ramirez, veteran of pastDa Vincis DemonsandOrange is the New Black. Ramirez does some deft character juggling as this episode skillfully jumps from character to character and quest to quest. Never leave the ninja behindI learned that in elementary school. Well, I guess he was always a stained little prick from childhood. Some good villain building by Ramirez who manages to make an already reprehensible monster even more puke inducing....

Did we really need a new RBI Baseball game? It made phone calls. I think it had a calculator. In the years since, the sub-genre has moved forward while simultaneously putting countless other franchises in the ground. Baseballis simply too feature-poor to be considered a sim but too grounded to be an arcade game. Major League Baseball Advanced Media (MLBAM) is courting fans of the originalR.B.I. There are three player types thin guy, middle guy, and muscle bound guy....

Most people, if asked, would probably say that they strive to be good. Most people, unfortunately, are lying. Dont shake your head. You know its true. From builder to businessman to Avon lady to nun, it is the tragic secret we all share. Its the reason that characters like24s Jack Bauer not only exist, but endure. Yes, of course they are) ends. Or both, however that would work. Maybe it was his only option....

Basic Story mostly struck me as an overstuffed, unfunny mess. But then, like so much modernCommunity, it got all weird andwayyyytoo much up its own butt. Basic Intergluteal Numismatics was a good episode, though. Otherwise, its just kind of weird. Ad content continues below Actually, all of Abeds meta-nonsense in Basic Story is weird. …But only kind of. I mean… did he know what was going on when he was saying this stuff?...

Nick Frost is ready for his first leading man role. But are you ready for him? Fat Guy Salsa Dances. That should have been this movies name, for that is this movies raison detre. And it gives Nick Frost a chance to shine. Or, at the very least, prove that big guys have the moves too. On the surface, this is a pleasing development. Their lives are thrown into turmoil when their company hires new American manager Julia (Rashida Jones)....

Canadian series Bitten takes the concept of the female werewolf into new and exciting territory, argues Caroline… Its still about control vs. aggression, just with a unique little twist. Maddy Smiths transformations in CBBCsWolfblood, a drama aimed at eight to twelve-year-olds, are just such. WithBitten, though, that could all change.

And for the first time in a long while that cartoonish simile is a compliment. In retrospect, Cage and Green should have collaborated years ago. Both have made eclectic choices throughout their careers to be sure. This surprise connection is more than obviously due to Garys father, Wade (Gary Poulter). A mean drunk when sober, Wade is more anchor than father to his children. Whoever said parenthood mellows a man out has clearly not met Cages character....

Oculus delivers traditional chills, fine performances and a genuinely scary horror experience. Oculusalso gives you characters to care about another rarity in too much modern genre fare. Hes helped by his tremendously game and strong cast. Great horror is about the past encroaching on the present, often with tragic results. But things have gone very well here for Flanagan, whose previous films were all little-seen, micro-budget indies. Its the finest horror movie Ive seen in a few years, and I hope theres more to come....

Does Titanfall Xbox 360 even compare to the current-gen version? If youre coming for any semblance of a campaign, dont bother. The story-mode, while fun to play, is an utter failure in the story deparment. While the story is terrible, the gameplay itself absolutely rocks. The aforementioned tight shooter mechanics makeTitanfalls handful of unique ideas shine. The parkour movement lent to you is a joy to use. This movement would all be for naught were it not for the excellent map design....
