Showtime has decided to cancel The Borgias after three seasons. The low-rated drama's last episode will air on June 16th.

The Borgias follows the story of Pope Alexander (Jeremy Irons) and his struggle to maintain his power at the turn of the 16th century.

Six of the Best: When Good Casts Go Bad

4 June 2013 4:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

With the impressively cast but critically mauled “The Big Wedding” hitting our screens just now (see our rightly unforgiving review here), one’s mind runs to other examples of films that have wound up being significantly less than the sum of their parts.

It’s not enough for a film to feel like it could have done better with its impressive resources, we need to find ourselves in the presence of a genuinely flagrant waste of considerable talent. The anti-12 Angry Men, if you will.

So where do we start? With the granddaddy, of course:-

Rancid Aluminium

Rhys Ifans, Joseph Fiennes, Steven Berkoff, Sadie Frost, Tara Fitzgerald – all excellent actors with sterling work under their respective belts. But goodness me, what a car-wreck.

Managing to recoup about a tenth of its $12m budget, Rancid Aluminium’s tale of a man getting caught up with the Russian mafia is horrendously misconceived, »

"Double-0 Seven on an island populated exclusively by women? We won't see him till dawn!"

Thirty years ago, moviegoers were treated to not one, but two new James Bond movies in theaters: the non-canon Never Say Never Again starring Sean Connery, and tonight's feature, Octopussy, starring Roger Moore. Moore managed to best Connery at the box office battle of the Bonds that year, but the debate over which actor was the better Bond will never end for those who grew up watching their movies in the '60s, '70s and '80s.

Octopussy borrows its name and title character from a short story by James Bond creator Ian Fleming, but the plot is original. When MI6 agent 009 (Andy Bradford) is found dead at the British embassy in East Berlin dressed as a circus clown, 007 (Moore) is dispatched to investigate. The trail leads Bond to Octopussy (Maud Adams), a wealthy »
