TV Recap: Outlander "Rent" By: Supafly Claire recites a poem to the lake and one of the Scotsman recognizes John Dunn, surprising her. The others shout at each other in Gaelic and wrestle about. Willy is enjoying a rough rite of passage, getting tossed about. The Scotsman is Mr. Gowan, a lawyer she’s seen before. She looks at his beautiful horse as he tells her about some of the items that he’s collected in the past for taxes. He has a bad cough, which concerns Claire. His lungs bother him yearly and Claire thinks that she can help him with the smoking of a pipe, as she diagnoses him with asthma. The pipe helps and Dougal calls them back to the road. It’s a long journey, giving Claire time to get to know Mr. Gowan better. He’s always wanted a life of adventure, and found himself traveling up north, joining the Colum’s father. It was a less civilized time then. Although she was enjoying the company, she could not let it stray her intentions of returning home. Dou

Guardians leads again, but the Summer was one of the worst ever. Someone once said that you never know the bottom of something until you're down in it. Summer 2014 will definitely have something to say about that, as it attained levels of infamy unseen in over 30 years. While Guardians of the Galaxy easily held on to first place for the third-straight weekend, the news about the overall health of the Summer market was fairly grim. According to our friends at Box Office Mojo, the top 12 movies this weekend earned approximately $51.9 million, making it the lowest-grossing in two years ($51,85m). You would have to go back to September 5-7 2008, when the top 12 grossed $50.3 million, to see a similar competitor. The reason for such a horrible performance is simple: only one new film was released this week, at nearly one-third the theaters of a standard release. That film - the poorly-received The Identical - arrived at 11th place with just $1.91 million. Yes, you hea

When you hire Vin Diesel as your lead actor, you know you’re not just getting his gravelly line delivery and mesomorphic frame. You’re also getting a social media soldier ready to post pics and dangle tantalising hints about his projects on Facebook . He’s now released the very first image from his latest gig, The Last Witch Hunter. The movie, which Breck Eisner is currently shooting, finds Diesel as an immortal warrior who finds himself in present-day New York having to face down a powerful witch queen intent on unleashing a terrible plague that could wipe out the human race. His chief ally in the fight, however, is a female witch (Game Of Thrones’ Rose Leslie), who teams up with him to help take down the rising evil. German actress Julie Engelbrecht recently joined the film to play the main villain, with Elijah Wood, Michael Caine and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson already all aboard. The Last Witch Hunter doesn’t have a set release date yet, but it should be out next year. Until the

Though it was pondered around the same time that fellow cult shows Starsky & Hutch and The Dukes Of Hazzard were being transferred from the telly vaults to big-screen comedy versions, highway patrol series CHiPs never quite made it down that road. Warner Bros. is hoping Dax Shepard is the man to help it happen, hiring him to write, direct and star in an adaption of the cop series. In addition to writing the script and calling the shots, Shepard will star as Officer Jon Baker (originally played by Larry Wilcox), who along with partner Frank “Ponch” Poncherrello kept the highways of California free of crime and other problems with their rumbling motorcycles and groin-crippling khaki uniforms between 1977 and 1983. While Erik Estrada is the man most recognizably identified as Ponch (and we’d bet good money on him showing up in some cameo capacity), Michael Peña is taking on the role for the film. Incidentally, Shepard is a keen, professional-level race driver, so we won’t be
