TV Review: Penny Dreadful "Demimonde"

TV Review: Penny Dreadful "Demimonde" By: Sue Dorian is hosting quite the kinky little party. Most of the guests are in some form of undress. He sits watching everyone around him have sex with a man by his side and a woman at his feet. The man kisses down his chest, but he cannot be more uninterested as he looks at the painting around. With a cleared out house, and an open chest bearing robe he takes a candelabra and heads through a hidden passage. Down a mirrored hallway to a single life sized portrait, his own. He looks upon it, sitting before it. Vanessa sits outside of a church. A little girl asks her why she doesn’t go in. She thinks that Vanessa wishes to go in by the way that she looks at it, reminding her that its only an odd church. The little girl prattles on, and asks if Vanessa has a sweetie. Vanessa does not. She tells her that her father put her mother into the ground, but that they don’t stay there. Her musings worry Vanessa for a moment, but the g

TV Review: Russian Yeti: The Killer Lives

TV Review: Russian Yeti: The Killer Lives By: Brandon Wolfe On February 2, 1959, nine hikers in the Upal Mountains of Russia were mysteriously killed. There were no eyewitnesses and the circumstances were decidedly bizarre. Evidence showed that the hikers cut holes in their own tent from the inside and departed abruptly into the snow without clothes or supplies for unknown reasons. The bodies were found spread out around the area, two with their skulls fractured and one with its eyes and tongue missing. Russian investigators could only rule that the deaths were caused by a “compelling natural force.” The mountain pass where the incident occurred has been dubbed the Dyatlov Pass, after the group’s leader, Igor Dyatlov. The enigma surrounding the incident has led to over fifty years of speculation about just what happened to the hikers, most of it centering around supernatural folklore. While there is no shortage of theories, definitive answers remain elusive, likely forever. T

TV Review: Silicon Valley "Season 1" By: Brandon Wolfe

TV Review: Silicon Valley  "Season 1" By: Brandon Wolfe For the majority of television series, the first season is often something of a rough experimental phase, a series of trials and errors necessary to figure out what the show will ultimately become once the kinks are worked out, usually by the second season. Some of the greatest TV shows of all time have first seasons where you can see everyone trying to gain their sea legs. This is especially true of comedies, where cast chemistry, character personalities and veins of humor need to be calibrated before the right formula is discovered. Even ‘ Seinfeld ’, arguably television’s finest comedy, proved a bit wobbly in the first go-round. What is unique about HBO’s ‘ Silicon Valley ’ is how thoroughly it bucks this trend. The series came out of the gate fully formed, its cast, characters, story and writing all interlocked into an immediately consistent groove. ‘Silicon Valley’ is the best comedy currently on television an

The Shawshank Redemption Still Making Money

Bob Gunton is a character actor with 125 credits to his name, including several seasons of " 24 " and " Desperate Housewives " and a host of movie roles in films such as the Oscar-winning " Argo ." Vaguely familiar faces like his are common in the Los Angeles area where he lives, and nobody pays much attention. Many of his roles have been forgotten. But every day, the 68-year-old actor says, he hears the whispers—from cabdrivers, waiters, the new bag boy at his neighborhood supermarket: "That's the warden in 'Shawshank.' " He also still gets residual payments—not huge, but steady, close to six figures by the film's 10th anniversary in 2004. Since then, he has continued to get "a very substantial income" long past the age when residuals usually dry up. "I suspect my daughter, years from now, will still be getting checks," he said. " Shawshank " was an underwhelming box-office performer when i
