Official poster & trailer for WORDS AND PICTURES , starring Clive Owen and Juliette Binoche : WORDS AND PICTURES will open in select theaters May 23, 2014. A witty romantic drama, WORDS AND PICTURES stars the engaging duo of Juliette Binoche and Clive Owen working together on-screen for the first time. Prep school English teacher Jack Marcus ( OWEN ) laments his students' obsession with social media and good grades rather than engaging with the power of the written word. A one-time literary star, Jack has not published in years filling his spare time with drink versus the art of language. He meets his match in Dina Delsanto ( BINOCHE ) — an abstract painter and new teacher on campus, who was once celebrated for her art. From the start, the two flirt and provoke each other with equal relish. With a performance review looming and his teaching job on the line, Jack hatches an inspired plan for galvanizing student interest in their studies: he declares a war between

TV Review: Crisis "Designated Allies" By: Brandon Wolfe Francis Gibson contacts his wife Janice via a cell phone stashed in the cupboard in the kitchen and, using a distorted voice to retain anonymity, instructs her to invite CIA Director Widener to come to the house so that she can poison him. As has been the case with all the parents on this show thus far, she complies with very little hesitation. When Widener arrives, he expresses his condolences to Janice over the kidnapping of her daughter and husband, but is able to quickly figure out what is going on and refuses the tea she presents him. However, Gibson, in accordance with villain law, intended this to happen and it was all part of the plan. His real goal was to get Widener’s guard down, using the clear attraction the director has to Janice as bait to allow Gibson’s team the time to remotely hack Widener’s phone for security access. Finley and Dunn learn that the soldiers recovered from the Pakistani embass

TV Review: Hannibal “Yakimono” By: Brandon Wolfe Bryan Fuller’s ‘ Hannibal ’ has quietly become one of television’s finest shows. Taking the characters from Thomas Harris’ series of novels, the show functions as a prequel to the events of the initial novel, ‘ Red Dragon ’ (which was adapted with style by Michael Mann in 1986’s ‘ Manhunter ’ and with bare-bones competence by Brett Ratner in 2002’s ‘ Red Dragon ’), setting up the working relationship that cannibalistic, yet refined, serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter ( Mads Mikkelsen ) had with FBI profiler Will Graham ( Hugh Dancy ) before the latter put the former in prison. Not unlike its titular character, ‘Hannibal’ is essentially a cable series wearing the skin of a network series. It’s daring and challenging in ways few network shows have the stones to attempt. It is also one of the best-looking shows currently on television and almost certainly the goriest in network history. Week after week, the series gets away with horrificall

Here's why Marvel and DC's game of Scheduling Chicken needs to end soon.  Story by: Matt Cummings While Captain America: The Winter Soldier continues to rake in the box office bucks, an impending release continues to garner almost as much attention.  As we all know, a certain DC film will be premiering on May 6th, 2016 which is the same date for the next Captain America film.  Recently, Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution for WB, said the cinematic version of Chicken is still on schedule over at his studio: “It doesn’t make a lot of sense for two huge superhero films to open on the same date but there is a lot of time between now and 5/6/16. However at this time, we are not considering a change of date for ‘Batman vs. Superman.’”  There's several levels which are readily apparent here, the first of which is more machismo than anything.  After the big delay by Director Zack Snyder, Warner Bros. is now locked into a brass knuckles fight with Marvel t

Kevin Costner's Draft Day is far-fetched but entertaining.  Review by: Matt Cummings The NFL in recent years has been something of a tale of two cities: in the first, it's the most popular American sport, eclipsing Baseball after Commissioner Roger Goodell took over in 2006. But it's also seen its fair share of off-field controversy, from concussions to play conduct. The one thing we haven't seen is the process which teams select players in their yearly draft. Draft Day grants us an acceptable view, although its commercialization is blatantly apparent. Cleveland Browns General Manager Sonny Weaver (Kevin Costner) has the first pick in the impending NFL Draft, and he's under pressure from his boss (Frank Langella) to select star Quarterback Bo Callahan (Josh Pence). The problem is, he must give up three number one future picks to secure him - in his heart, Weaver wants to select fiery Defensive Lineman Vontae Mack (Chadwick Bozeman), but eventually c
