Downton Abbey, Season 3, Episode 6: Review

The wrong sister died. It was 2 episodes in 1! Lets just wait and see what next weeks episode brings. Im always suspicious when drama-filled shows end an episode on a tidy, happy note. It generally means a shocking bender is around the corner. He totally, completely would. This deliciously long episode is full of ups, downs, go arounds and changes. First off, Bates gets out!

Jai Courtney interview: Die Hard, Herzog, Andy Whitfield and more

How do you look at it? Do you dig into how other people portray fathers and sons? Ad content continues below Gordon-Levitt was obviously a very different thing… He had a special chin and everything. I enjoyed the movie though! My approach wasnt heavily based on imitating or mimicking Bruce really. I think about fathers and sons, theyre totally different people. So how do you create it? Did you spend a lot of time together pre-filming, or was it pretty instinctive?...

David Morrissey interview: The Walking Dead, the Governor, Doctor Who & more…

This interview contains spoilers for anyone not up-to-date with season three, episode eight ofThe Walking Dead. Ad content continues below [Laughs] Its okay, its on the mend. Presumably episode nine picks up immediately where number eight left off? And youre returning from the mid-season break with the iconic eye-patch. Does that signify the genesis of the comic book Governor? He is someone whose humanity is closing down very rapidly and I think he will act on that....

Escape from Planet Earth is the kind of animated film that all parents should dread… Directed by Cal Brunker,Escape from Planet Earthmarks The Weinstein Companys first major animated family film. The studio once, long ago, spearheaded the cult classic seriesReBoot(1994-2001). Gary Supernova (Robb Corddry) has problems. His brother Scorch (Brendan Fraser) is the astronaut icon who the entire planet fawns over and adores. Too bad they cant liberate this movie from its own....

Green Arrow #17, The Kill Machine: Part One (DC Comics) Review

Last years DC Comics reboot should have positioned Green Arrow to become a major player in the DC Universe. Suddenly,Iron Manwas one of Marvels best sellers thanks to his exposure in other media. Green Arrow was ripe for this same push. The title was derivative, uninspired, and uneven. The biggest problem in the previousGreen Arrowruns by J.T. Krul and Ann Nocenti was that Ollie was a total jerk. Think Tony Stark in the first twenty minutes ofIron Man....

Altered States (1980) Review

Altered States was a good movie, right up to the shrooms . We had different approaches to films back then. He liked his movies simple and straightforward and easy to understand. If hed had his way, every movie ever made would have starred Clint Eastwood or Chuck Norris. Maybe I was just a little sadistic. After winning three Oscars, Paddy Chayevsky was considered the sharpest, smartest screenwriter in Hollywood. It was a serious and intelligent novel and even with those two marks against it became a bestseller....

Elementary, Season 1, Episode 15: A Giant Gun, Filled With Drugs (Review)

Yes, yes, I love this show. I say it virtually every week. Youre sick of hearing me say it, and Im sick of saying it. But you know whenElementaryis ESPECIALLY awesome? Hannah lights up the screen as Rhys, a guy who happens to be Sherlocks former drug dealer.

Lore, Review

How can a society remain silent as atrocities are committed in their name? In the movies first moments, Lore sits in a bathtub singing a playground rhyme to herself. I doubt the girl knows herself. This woman though still keeps a portrait of Hitler hanging in her kitchen. Lore is not a clean character. But Lore still deserves a viewing even from those who would wish to look away from such unpleasantries....

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (PS3), Review

And thats why the prospect of a new, traditionalSly Coopergame is so exciting to a gamer like me. That may seem like a criticism at first, but it couldnt be further from the truth. Now of course, this doesnt mean that Thieves in Time feels dated. But, in Thieves in Time Sanzaru makes up for that misstep in a big way. You mostly just slog through their sections until you get to play as Sly again....
