Award-Winning Director And Co-Director Of Still Alice Was 63. Story by David Clark Diagnosed with A.L.S. in 2011 Richard Glatzer refused to give up his passion in life. With the help of his friend, co-director, and husband Westmoreland, Glatzer continued to work and direct. Within a few short weeks of Julianne Moore winning an oscar for her performance in Glatzer’s and Westmoreland’s Academy Award-winning Still Alice , Richard Glatzer lost his battle with A.L.S. and passed away at the age of 63. The news has been confirmed by Ekta Farrar from the public relations firm Block Korenbrot that Glatzer died in Los Angeles this past Tuesday March 10, 2015. The strength and fortitude required to forge ahead when faced with such a debilitating diagnosis speaks to the courage of Richard Glatzer. Known more commonly as Lou Gehrig's Disease, A.L.S. slowly causes degeneration of the brain and spinal cord until the body can no longer function. That is what Glatzer bravel

When we left Dylan O’Brien and his fellow Maze Runners at the end of movie one in Fox’s serialisation of James Dashner’s YA sci-fi series, they were… well, let's not give it away for the sake of those yet to see the movie. We have the first images from the film thanks to EW &  Empire . See all the images after the Jump... Suffice to say, some have survived their first trial and are being whisked away to an uncertain future. Here, courtesy of two first-look images from the sequel, The Maze Runner: Scorch Trials , is a clue as to exactly how uncertain that future is. As the title implies, they’re not off for drinks and a spot of post-Maze downtime. Check out the weaponry. Marvel at the true grit. Imagine the industrial zone in that old C4 telly stalwart, The Crystal Maze, only presided over with demonic zeal by a psychotic Mumsy: that’s where the young cadre find themselves. It’s a hardscrabble landscape filled with horrors they must surmount as they t

Emmett Foley ( Gary Oldman , Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, The Dark Knight), a Korean War hero institutionalized in the Florida State Hospital in Chattahoochee, FL following an attempted suicide, becomes an unlikely crusader, fighting to change a system that allowed the doctors and staff to brutalize their patients.

I Sif returns, Skye shakes, viewers yawn. Review by Brandon Wolfe Pity poor Jaimie Alexander. As one of the few members of the Marvel Cinematic Universe low enough on the totem pole to be accessible for TV, she keeps getting roped back into Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as Lady Sif returns this week for her second appearance on the series. It’s not that Alexander isn’t welcome on the show, but she very clearly is being utilized not because Sif makes perfect sense as a regular popover to Coulson’s tiny, earthbound corner of the universe, but because she’s a much easier “get” than a Robert Downey Jr. or a Scarlett Johansson, whose characters would make infinitely more sense crossing paths on a frequent basis with S.H.I.E.L.D. I guess you work with what you have. Anyway, Sif wanders out of the ocean one night in Portugal with no memory of who she is (because amnesia is a device used only by the finest of shows). It isn’t long before her superhuman exploits land on Team Coulson’s radar

Wolowitz Loses A Mother But Gains A Brother Story by David Clark It was announced this week that Matt Bennett has been tagged to play John, Howard Wolowitz’s (Simon Helberg) younger brother. Bennett is perhaps best known for his roles in the movie Bridesmaids and the television series Victorious. This is an interesting direction for the show to go with the Wolowitz storyline. Howard has always been portrayed as a ‘momma’s boy’ and an only child. Using the words attached-at-the-hip would hardly describe the awkward and sometimes inappropriate relationship between Howard and his mother - played by the recently deceased Carol Ann Susi. Other than vague references to an absent father there has never been an indication that Howard has other family in the world - Enter Matt Bennett. In a recent interview showrunner Steve Molaro said, “The passing of Mrs. Wolowitz left the door open to explore more of Howard’s family.” Molaro has also expressed interest in further exp
