Upfronts 2014: Networks Announce Strange New Pilots

What's replacing all those sacked television shows?  We peel back the onion to find out! Story by: Matt Cummings This last week saw all five television networks announce their cancellations and renewals .  That leaves nearly 100 potential new shows in the oven, each vying for our hearts, space on our DVR's, and ultimately our time.  But first each has to appear before advertisers, whose votes will determine which are picked up and those that get sent back to the baker. As we prepared to post this, it became clear that two new trends had appeared in several new shows: first, the stranger their plot, the more apt to be considered.  And like that smelly stuff which has been thrown against the wall, the networks are hoping these will stick.  Second, many of these are rejects of previous pilots, regurgitated and repainted for your pleasure.  Neither of these sound particularly appealing Rather than share all of them, we've hand-picked a selected lot which sadly

TV Review: Rosemary’s Baby – Part 2 By: Brandon Wolfe

TV Review: Rosemary’s Baby – Part 2 By: Brandon Wolfe Though it isn’t as though the first part was intent on blazing its own trail, the second half of NBC’s ‘ Rosemary’s Baby ’ doesn’t color outside the lines at all. This veers uncomfortably close to Gus Van Sant ‘Psycho’ levels of slavishness. If you’ve seen the original 1968 ‘Rosemary’s Baby’, the second part of this miniseries will have you nodding your head in recognition as each development plays out almost precisely as it had before, with very little deviation. We open with the aftermath of Rosemary’s night of passion with Guy, where she had demonic visions of witchcraft practitioner Steven Marcato as her actual partner. When she wakes the next morning confused about what has happened, Guy claims to have enjoyed their time together (and, in a sign-of-the-times change from 1968, Guy is apologetic about having his way with her when she didn’t have all of her faculties, something his 1968 counterpart did not give a second

Belle Review: Fluff Script Detracts from Otherwise Solid Film

The period piece Belle suffers from a fluff script but looks amazing in the process. Review by: Matt Cummings If an image can tell a thousand words, then the painting featured at the end of the period piece Belle could fill a library. And while its story of 18th Century English slavery and social convention looks amazing, it's too self-congratulatory and lacks the emotion of a real winner. Inspired by the true story, Dido Elizabeth Belle (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is an illegitimate mixed-race daughter of Admiral Sir John Lindsay (Matthew Goode), who is raised by Lindsey's great aunt and uncle (Tom Wilkinson and Emily Watson) after Lindsay dies at sea. Belle's half-cousin and confidant Lady Elizabeth Murray (Sarah Gadon) instantly bond, yet Belle's status doesn't afford her the same standards. While Elizabeth chases suitors for a dowry, Belle remains isolated and the victim of the rigid social patterns of 18th Century England. Soon, tradition collides w

Full Trailer For #Interstellar Has Arrived

Christopher Nolan's latest secrecy-fest, sci-fi Interstellar , has just become a tiny bit less obscure with the debut of the film's first full trailer. At the very least, we learn more about Matthew McConaughey's lead, Cooper, and then we get to tour some extensive cornfields. Cooper is, we learn, "an educated man, a trained pilot and an engineer", but his technical skills are more or less irrelevant in a world that's running low on food. Thank goodness, then, for Michael Caine's visionary, who has a plan to save the world by buggering off somewhere else - and he needs Cooper to make the trip. With two young children at home, it's not an easy decision, but soon Cooper's off amid the stars as the weather worsens back home. At least, we think that's what's happening, so please stop making jokes about Signs and comparing it to Looper. This trailer hasn't shed vast amounts of light on the story so let's hope they're holdin
