Danny John-Jules interview: Red Dwarf X, Death In Paradise & more…

That jot down of film and TV I dont think will ever go away. Why would Guy Ritchie doSherlock Holmes? Ad content continues below What can we expect from series two? I would say more of the same, just better. Are there any downsides to spending six months filming on a Caribbean island? Well, being anywhere for six months thats not your home obviously starts to get a little bit samey....

This little romantic gem fell through the cracks last summer when audiences realized it wasnt anotherMidnight in Paris.

Humanoids from the Deep (1980) Review

(For that matter, only a small handful of films, period, can be called original.) Screamers, John Frankenheimers Prophecy, Tarantula, a hint of H.P. The economic strain has led to increased tensions between the fishermen and the local American Indian community. Hank blames all of his problems on the Indians and lets everyone know it. But the real ending is yet to come. And the scientific explanation behind the humanoids is, needless to say, a little fishy....

Should Being Human fans give the US version a chance?

This feature contains Being Human spoilers. The news came amidst a flurry of worrying rehash announcements, withSkins,The Inbetweenersetc. Some tuned in for the pilot, however, and were greeted with some of their worst assumptions. But heres my argument:Being Humanactually benefits from the extra time. While the first season of Syfys show was airing, I was also watching series three on BBC3. This was previously unheard of for the channel, and should be celebrated....

Top 5 DC Comics for Week of 1/9/13

Grant may have been telling the truth, but he was telling it as he saw it. You see, we dont really ever find out if anything resembling 1992s Superman #75 ever really happened. But this Superman did die, and when it happened, it was Doomsday. And Morrison has been using that accelerated timeline to his storytelling advantage. We have to actually experience the compression time occurring between the panels. Theres only one issue left of this era ofAction Comics....

The Baytown Outlaws, Review

Billy Bob Thornton is back! Although underused in this shoot ‘em up that might be trying just a little too hard to be crazy. Friends often accuse me of being over-critical, a man unable to enjoy mindless entertainment. Im a fan of films such asShoot Em Upand the firstSmokin Aces. Brick, Lincoln and McQueen Oodie are three down on their luck bad-asses for hire. Careless and brutal, they are the definition of run and gun bandits....

From Fred Astaire dance sequences to gravity-defying hotel corridor fights, we salute the technically mind-boggling rotating movie set… The way he did it, you never knew he was fighting gravity, Donen said years later. Stanley Kubricks2001is perhaps the most famous film to use rotating sets. The technical brilliance of this shot is made all the more breathtaking by Kubricks almost geometric cinematography. Like Astaires ceiling dance, these and so many other sequences in2001are carefully designed to fill us with wonderment....

Things are all a flurry with preparations for Mary and Matthews wedding, both upstairs AND downstairs. Of course, nothing can be simple when it comes to the Grantham household.
