BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

TV Recap: GALAVANT "COMEDY GOLD"

TV Recap: GALAVANT "COMEDY GOLD" By: Suepafly Galavant prepares for the next leg of the journey. Isabella warns of pirates, but he is Galavant and he fears no bandits. It must be all his gorgeous bluster that keeps him safe and his ego inflated. Sid asks about the raisins in the trail mix, and Galavant rants a little about his likes and dislikes of snacks. The trio has certainly grown and they're getting along pretty well. They share pretty much everything except that Isabella and Galavant are kinda attracted to each other, even though Isabella is betraying him,a nd they both ignore Sid a whole lot. The togetherness may be getting to be a little much, especially when there are egos at play, and Galavant has a huge one, stealing the finale and letting the bandits get the drop on them. The jester juggles, as the queen looks for distraction. Richard cannot believe that Madalena is fooling around with him, or rather he can, thinking that its the jester's joke

TV Recap: GALAVANT "TWO BALLS"

TV Recap: GALAVANT "TWO BALLS" By: Suepafly Galavant is back tonight for another hour of comedy. This is my favorite new show. The trio: Sid, Galavant and Princess Isabella have been riding for days, and they need to rest. Sid takes them to his home which sounds all good and well, until they ask about Sidneyland. Sid's village thinks of him some sort of Rockstar, and him exaggerating his heroic tales helped to build up his legend. Sid asks them to play along. Isabella is all in, but Galavant isn't so sure he even wants to save Valencia when he hears of their nightly plays. Sid brings them home to meet his adopted parents when he lays another whooper on them, his parents think that Galavant is Sid's squire. Poor Gal. Sid's mother puts him to work chicken plucking immediately. In Valencia, the King tries to cajole the jester into telling some bad jokes. The jester is forced to tell the jokes anyways. Madalena quickly becomes bored. They've had

TV Review: Marvel’s Agent Carter “Time and Tide”

Heroes Get Fleshed Out as Marvel Series Keeps Swinging Marvel’s Agent Carter “Time and Tide” Review by Brandon Wolfe Where last week’s two-hour premiere was packed to the gills with series-establishing exposition, Agent Carter slows its roll this week, taking a breath and allowing us to get to know our protagonists and the situations they occupy. Though she has had a firm place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for going on four years now, Peggy Carter is still a character we aren’t intimately acquainted with. Her role in Captain America: The First Avenger was fairly thin. She was little more than a tough-bird love interest to Steve Rogers, even if Hayley Atwell’s performance was richer than what was on the page. That film also skirted the plight inherent to a woman of that era working in such an overwhelmingly male-dominated field. Carter had an inordinate amount of agency in the film, rubbing elbows with government and military bigwigs without being met with any documented

Sons of Liberty Review: Fails to Satisfy Our Historical Hunger

The A&E mini-series Sons of Liberty lacks a historical punch, taking too many liberties on the greatest story ever told. Review by Matt Cummings Historical Fiction has returned to television in a big way: with Vikings and Black Sails doing very well for their respective networks, it's clear that audiences have a thirst that at this point cannot be quenched. The problem with all of them is historical accuracy: for the A&E mini-series Sons of Liberty , it seems like someone forgot to tell them that such standards exist. Led by colonial radical Samuel Adams (Ben Barnes) and businessman John Hancock (Rafe Spall), a group of Bostonian agitators begin to fight back against a variety of taxes and harsh treatment by Governor Thomas Hutchinson (Sean Gilder). As Britain responds to the Boston Massacre by sending General Thomas Gage (Marton Csokas) to subdue the rebels, Bostonians respond by organizing and preparing for a full-blown conflict. This three-night, six-hour

Escape From New York Remake Lands at Fox

After years of rumors, Snake is back Threatened for the better part of a decade, the remake of John Carpenter’s seminal 1981 classic Escape From New York is finally on its way, according to Deadline . Fox has won a bid for the remake rights and Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman’s The Picture Company will handle producing duties. John Carpenter, the director of the original, will executive-produce. A dystopian action-thriller about a surly, one-eyed criminal forcibly dispatched into a walled-off, maximum-security version of the Big Apple to rescue the President, who is being held hostage by inmates after Air Force One crash-lands inside, Escape has become a cult-movie staple in the decades since its release, marking an early high point in Carpenter’s directing career and making an icon out of Kurt Russell’s antihero, Snake Plissken. Previous overtures toward remaking Snake have included the likes of Gerard Butler, who entered into serious talks for the role back in 2007, as w

Take A Closer Look At Yellowjacket From Ant-Man

Cross is the main challenge for Lang and Michael Douglas’ Hank Pym, since he also has access to the “Pym Particles” that can shrink matter and has crafted a more dangerous version of the Ant-Man suit for his own nefarious ends. Check out the violence-promising bladed arms, with Cross taking a leaf from Doctor Octopus’s book (even if he’ll never acknowledge him, what with Doc appearing in a different studio’s franchise.) It’s interesting to call Cross a Big Bad since he’ll spend some of the time as tiny as our hero, but he’s certainly a wrong ‘un. With Peyton Reed directing the film and Judy Greer, Bobby Cannavale, Wood Harris, Jordi Molla, T.I., Martin Donovan, Michael Peña and John Slattery among the cas Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

Kyle MacLachlan Will Return To Twin Peaks

There was much genuine excitement when David Lynch , co-creator Mark Frost and US cable network Showtime put rumors to rest by confirming that mystery series Twin Peaks would be back on our screens in 2016. One element that was still not set in stone was the return of the show’s anchor, leading man Kyle MacLachlan , as FBI Agent Dale Cooper. Now we know for sure that he’s back. With Showtime boss David Nevins attending the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, he was briefly joined on stage by MacLachlan, who emerged from backstage wearing a natty suit and bearing a mug, which contained Cooper’s now-trademark beverage request of “damn fine coffee. And hot.” Lynch also tweeted an image of MacLachlan in his suit. "I'm very excited to return to the strange and wonderful world of Twin Peaks," MacLachlan told the TV critics. "We look forward to seeing all of you there. May the forest be with you.” Nevins admitted that he had to convince Lynch and Fro
