I dont think any other director inspires sympathy for the Devil as stylishly and effectively as the maestro. Financial fraudster and amoral stock market manipulator Belfort is far more dubious. (Say what you like about Travis Bickle. At least he had principles and earned an honest wage, working hard in a legitimate occupation.) That brings us back to Martin Scorsese and his antiheroes. They are all marked by darkness, but the most compelling and challenging is probably real-life figure Hughes....

The Nut Job will raise many interesting questions…as your mind focuses on anything except this plot. Rating: 2 out of 5

Andrew salutes the Appendices' detail… It was in 2003 that I first became aware of their existence. When carrying the equipment back to the hall wardens room I discovered two things: 1. The hall wardens could walk down the fire escape onto the roof above the entrance and have barbeques. There were not only two discs for the film, there were two discs for the extras. Fried things, a pint of tea and a documentary about horses....

Was the underrated CW series Nikita the most daringly feminist show since Buffy? People stopped talking about it and, slowly, its small pocket of viewers began to abandon it also. Theres a reason its last two episodes were titledBubbleandCancelled, because those two words had plagued it for years. We arguably have more women in central roles than ever before, but viewers werent buying whatNikitawas selling. These things were never brushed under the carpet, and were a part of the story until its end....

The infamous fictional Philadelphia watering hole turns 10-years old… and somehow it’s still in business. Its 1:39 a.m., on a Friday, in the city of Brotherly Love. Its your first visit to Philadelphia and its time to get a cheesesteak. People claim they come to Philly for the history, but they stay for the cheesesteaks. That is until your nose catches the aroma of Pats Cheesesteaks. Now that youve achieved your stated goal for the evening, its time to walk back to your hotel....

The fifth season of Archer is shaking things up Miami Vice style. We sat down with lead actor H. Jon Benjamin to explore why.

Sherlock’s series 3 finale has provided a massive talking point for speculation among fans. Rob looks at the options, with huge spoilers… This article contains major spoilers forHis Last Vow. You will not apply my precept, he said, shaking his head. So how did Moriarty come to be on those screens? Lets look at the options… They did not fake suicide at each other. Imagine how stupid youd feel if you bumped into each other!...

Warning: contains major spoilers forHis Last Vow. After the final Miss me? Ad content continues below Steven Moffat:Well its amazing. Were thrilled by that, of course we are. It shows the benefits of starvation [laughter] Put things on less often! SM:You knew he was alive last time. But still, the speculation. Its always distressing when you remember that [laughter]. Amanda and Lars, what did it feel like coming into something so established?...

For me, baseballs about three things. Second, its about teamwork. And what I love is that this sport does not discriminate. Abbie Mills, The Sin Eater, Sleepy Hollow. What separatesSleepy Hollowfrom other shows? Compare a character like Leena onWarehouse 13to such protagonists. Warehouse 13sGenelle Williams had much more to offer the series than being the innkeeper in the background. It seems like shell be the one character among the protagonists who died and wont be resurrected....

AndGoogle+, if thats your thing!

The Devil’s Trap that HBO sent True Detective reviewers is the proper hoodoo talisman. HBO apparently sent it to most of the reviewers coveringTrue Detective. Its a prop that the series calls a devils trap or a birds nest. In the series you put these things around your bed to keep the devils away. I put it near my bed but havent really been sleeping lately. I asked two friends steeped in Santeria to identify the object....

How I Met Your Mother is one of the best sitcoms of this generation. So why is the ending of the love story so disappointing?
