BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Our Goodbye To Robin Williams By: Brandon Wolfe

Robin Williams passed away today at the age of 63, of an apparent suicide by asphyxia. And as I write out these words, I still don’t believe them. Robin Williams is one of those guys you can’t imagine the world no longer containing. He’s been a fixture, a familiar and welcoming presence, for as long as I, and I suspect the majority of people out there, can remember. Saying that Robin Williams no longer exists is like saying ice cream or kittens no longer exist. It sounds impossible and absurd. Williams is, of course, famous for being a funnyman and he most certainly was one funny man. With his manic voices and impressions erupting out of him one on top of the other like a Roman candle of silliness, Robin Williams was less a comedian than an indefatigable comedic force of nature. My first exposure to Williams as a child was, as I suspect it was for many, on his television series ‘ Mork and Mindy ”, which stood as his signature role for a large portion of his career. Mork was the

TV Review: The Leftovers “Solace For Tired Feet”

TV Review: The Leftovers “Solace For Tired Feet” By: Brandon Wolfe Man, is this a hard show to watch. Not in the sense that it’s depressing or challenging, qualities that could make its difficulty to endure commendable in a way (and qualities that the show clearly aspires toward), but in its inertia and frustrating lack of focus. As I’ve stated time and again, ‘The Leftovers’ has a core premise that could make for a fantastic television series, but this is not that series. This series is a flummoxing mass of uncooked dough, a collection of murky, half-formed ideas that aren’t as tantalizing as its creators believe they are. It is, in short, very much a Damon Lindelof show, and I mean that in the worst way. There really isn’t a good way to mean that, but I want it to be clear that of all the possible ways it could be meant, I mean the very worst one. After last week’s surprisingly solid outing, which centered its focus around Nora Durst, who has quickly emerged as the most intere

TV Recap: Outlander "Sassenach"

TV Recap: Outlander "Sassenach" By: Suepafly People disappear all of the time. Some run away, most are found, usually. Claire has never lived in one place long enough to own such a simple thing as a vase, and she could not think of anything she wanted more. It’s six months after the end of the war now, but then, Claire performs some emergency surgery on a soldier until the doctors can take over. There are celebrations erupting all around her. The war is finally over. She drinks deeply from the champagne bottle that she’s holding. In her mind VE day grows fainter, but the day she saw that vase does not. She remembers it clearly, and she knows even with the heartache that follows she wouldn’t change a thing. It’s a beautiful beginning to the beloved Diana Gabaldon series; let’s just hope that they get this one right. Claire and Frank were in Scotland on their second honeymoon. They needed a holiday to get to know the people they’ve become after the days apart. The h

Better Call Saul Teaser Trailer

Better Call Saul's delay won't be that long after all. After AMC pushed the Breaking Bad spinoff's November launch (and gave it an auspicious season-two renewal) earlier this summer, it's now set to debut in February 2015. That little nugget of information was dropped in the first teaser trailer (below). The exact date will obviously reveal itself closer to the new year, but production on Saul is already well underway —with filming in Albuquerque pleasing fans with a billboard and co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould recently speaking with reporters about the decision to hold off a few months. "We could have made the deadline, but I am slow as mud," said Gilligan, who noted that the same labor intensity applied to Breaking Bad will hold true with Saul. "I still feel I'm very slow for television." Better Call Saul has done a remarkable job of lingering in the news, despite the space between the parent series' finale and the nea

Captivated: The Trials Of Pamela Smart Premieres August 18th On @HBO

Next Monday, August 18th, be sure to catch Captivated: The Trials of Pamela Smart premiering on HBO at 9pm. The riveting documentary takes a new look at a story everyone thought they knew and examines how one woman’s trial became a nation’s entertainment as the first fully televised court case. An Official Selection of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, the film explores how the media’s coverage of the story may have influenced the trial and sentencing of Pamela Smart, a New Hampshire woman who at 22 years old was accused of plotting the 1990 murder of her husband. Directed by Jeremiah Zagar, the film features courtroom footage and interviews with prosecuting and defending attorneys, journalists, Smart’s friends and acquaintances as well as an intimate new interview with Pamela Smart herself.

First Trailer For Two Night Stand

It’s tough enough – especially in films – when someone has had an abysmal one night stand and just wants to leave as quickly as possible once dawn breaks. But for Analeigh Tipton’s Megan, things are not quite that simple thanks to some serious weather issues. The first trailer for Two Night Stand has arrived online. Megan is a woman in a serious rut. Her couple friends Faiza ( Jessica Szohr ) and Cedric ( Scott Mescudi ) want her to move out. In order to cheer herself up and get back out in the world, she reluctantly agrees to a one-night stand with Alec ( Miles Teller ). It’s hardly the most satisfying night of passion, but when Megan tries to leave, she discovers she’s trapped in his apartment building thanks to a heavy snowfall. Forced together, the pair start to unleash their honest opinions about their experience, and even manage to find some common ground. But can they survive each other’s company as they wait for the weather to clear? It’s an intriguing concept for a ro

Sequel To Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles On It's Way

Paramount is saying "Cowabunga, dude," announcing a sequel to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles after the movie’s surprising overperformance at the weekend’s box office. The movie is on track to earn $65 million in its opening weekend and $97.3 million worldwide.

Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes partners Andrew Form and Brad Fuller will again produce along with Galen Walker and Scott Mednick. It is unclear at this stage whether director Jonathan Liebesman will return to helm the new picture. Paramount has also staked out a release date for the sequel: June 3, 2016. (So far, Sony’s comedy The Sausage Party is on the date.) "Launching a new take on the Turtles into the feature film world was a daunting task because as fans of them ourselves, we felt a great responsibility to ensure audiences
