Game of Thrones Season Three - Episode 8 Review
4 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Oliver Davis reviews the eighth episode of Game of Thrones Season Three....
Second Sons.
Directed by Michelle MacLaren.
Written by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
It's the ante-penultimate episode (the one before the one before last). Episode 8 is usually the build-up for the season's main event in Episode 9. In series one, it laid the foundation for Eddard's be-ned-ing. In series two, it preceded the Battle of Blackwater Bay. Series three's teases the Riverlands' version of Kate and Wills, Edmure Tully's wedding to one of Lord Frey's daughters, and is full of subtle glances and looks before the undoubted spectacle of next week's installment.
Tyrion
...and what better to way to foreshadow a wedding than...another wedding? Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) wed Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) in a (literally in so many ways) small, awkward ceremony where everyone hated each other. Cersei (Lena Headey) ended a conversation with her future daughter-in-law, Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer), saying, »

Game of Thrones Series Blog 3.8: Second Sons (Contains Spoilers)
9 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Written By: David Benioff & D.B Weiss
Directed By: Michelle MacLaren
Synopsis: The wedding of Tyrion and Sansa arrives; Melisandre takes Gendry to Dragonstone, where he encounters Stannis; the Hound reveals his plans for Arya; Daenerys looks to recruit the Second Sons; Sam & Gilly fight for survival beyond the Wall.
The Verdict: White Walkers, weddings, and witchcraft. Never a good mix in real life, but in this week’s Game Of Thrones, it makes for superb Telly.
Second Sons benefits greatly from more focus on fewer main characters, resulting in a nice fair balance in way of character screen time and plot development. Samwell’s scene especially benefits, his relationship with Gilly not only getting some great push here by the writers, but also resulting in a terrific action sequence that had this hardcore fan punching the air in fanboyish glee. Likewise, it’s nice to see Davos and Stannis back together again, »

Game Of Thrones season 3 episode 8 review: Second Sons

Review Ron Hogan 20 May 2013 - 07:45
Duty and honour are the themes of this week's masterfully composed Game Of Thrones. Here's Ron's review...
This review contains spoilers.
3.8 Second Sons
When Game of Thrones wants to be creepy, it can be very creepy. This week's episode had an incredibly eerie vibe to it at several times, but nothing seemed quite as unsettling as the wedding of Tyrion Lannister and Sansa Stark. The entire scene of the wedding, with the assembled dignitaries of both House Lannister and House Tyrell, as well as the small council (minus Littlefinger), were all gathered together in the sept of Baelor in their finest, to watch Sansa Stark march to her ultimate fate. The person who takes it upon himself to walk her down the aisle? None other than Joffrey, who sleazes up to her, takes her arm and reminds her that he's not her father, but »

New International Trailer For Perpetually Delayed Russian Horror Viy
18 May 2013 3:40 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
It was all the way back in November of 2005 that Twitch first wrote about Russian horror film Viy, a remake of one of that nation's earliest horror films which is itself an adaptation of a story by Nikolai Gogol. The years since have not been kind to Viy. Massive delays, multiple reshoots, the apparent failure of more than one company involved in the film - at least in part due to massive budget overruns - the creation of an international framing story involving Jason Flemyng and Charles Dance in an attempt to broaden the international appeal and make their money back, more reshoots, more delays, more companies cycling through, etc etc etc ...But after all of that the film is now, apparently, nearing completion...

Simon Pegg Joins Aussie Thriller Kill Me Three Times
18 May 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
Looks like casting famous Brits in big Aussie movies is the new black. Or rather it was the old black, but once again has become so pronounced as to be worth commenting on. In the past 12 months we've had Rob Pattinson out for The Rover, Ewan McGregor for Son of a Gun, Tom Hardy was in Mad Max (although is that even really Australian anymore?), Colin Firth came out for The Railway Man and even Patrick managed to import its own British luminary of sorts, Charles Dance.Now comes news that Kriv Stenders has cast Simon Pegg in his new noir thriller Kill Me Three Times, a directing gig he inherited when original helmer Greg Mclean went off to make Wolf Creek 2.

Only three episodes left in this year’s epic season of Game of Thrones. We actually got a bit of happy news last week amongst all the scheming and grisly goings-on, so I’m expecting heaps of bad news this week. Best of luck to Arya, Tyrion, and the Khaleesi, my personal favorites.

International Trailer for Patrick Remake!
17 May 2013 10:26 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
As someone who loves the Psycho movies, I have a tremendous amount of respect for filmmaker Richard Franklin who had the daunting task of helming a sequel to Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous movie. But you need look no further than the opening scene of his 1978 feature debut Patrick, which depicts the title character murdering his mother & her lover to understand why he was the perfect choice for Psycho II. And while word of any remake is often met with much skepticism, knowing that the redux of Patrick was going to be the first narrative feature from Mark Hartley, the fellow behind the excellent documentaries Not Quite Hollywood and Machete Maidens Unleashed piqued my interest. Now, we’ve got the first look at footage from the final flick. Below is the international trailer for Patrick, the story of a young nurse (Sharni Vinson from You’Re Next!) who becomes the »

Watch The International Trailer For Mark Hartley's Patrick

What, ho? Could that be Tywin Lannister menacing a man in a coma? Why, yes it is, Charles Dance having taken on the role of a sinister doctor in Not Quite Hollywood director Mark Hartley's long awaited remake of Australian cult hit Patrick. The story of a young nurse who becomes the object of obsession for a comatose man with psychokinetic powers, Patrick has been teasing out images for the past while and with the Cannes Marche du Films now upon us, the picture's international sales agents have released the first international trailer for the film. And, oh yes, it looks rather good.Sharni Vinson (You're Next) and Rachel Griffiths (Six Feet Under) also star. Take a look at the trailer below,...

The Trailer for the Patrick Remake Has Arrived

The Australian '70s flick Patrick was remade recently and, today, with the Cannes film market in full swing, a sales trailer for the update was revealed. And honestly? It looks pretty damn good - contained and creepy.
Sharni Vinson, Rachel Griffiths, Charles Dance star in the film - hitting Australian theaters this fall - directed by Mark Hartley.
After killing his mother and her lover some years before, Patrick is the comatose patient in room 15 of a remote, private psychiatric clinic run by the secretive Dr Roget who treats him as guinea pig in his bizarre studies of life and death.

Midnight’S Children – The Review
16 May 2013 8:55 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Every once in a while an author becomes famous because of forces surrounding his work, rather than the work itself. Such was the case twenty-five years ago (that long!) with Salman Rushdie when his book, “The Satanic Verses” spurred Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeni to issue a fatwa against him. Well, he’s gone on to work long after the death rights and now he has adapted an earlier novel for the big screen, Midnight’S Children, which arrives in theatres now, directed by Deepa Mehta. This novel and film have also generated a lot of controversy. It’s a broad overview of the history of India told through the eyes of fictional characters (much like Ragtime). The focus is the big events of the last century. The title refers to the children born at midnight on August 15, 1947 when India became independent of England. Primarily it’s the story of one of them, »

Game of Thrones Season Three - Episode 7 Review

Oliver Davis reviews the seventh episode of Game of Thrones Season Three....
"Go Lannisters!"
The Bear and the Maiden Fair.
Directed by Michelle MacLaren.
Written by George R.R. Martin.
I didn't have the chance to review last week's episode of Game of Thrones. I was out of the realm, across the Shivering Sea, where they have terrible WiFi. It meant a double bill for me, and although Episode 7 was very enjoyable, last week's, The Climb, was superb and up there with the best of the show's. The quasi-montage of Littlefinger's monologue, Tyrion struggling to tell Sansa about their upcoming marriage and the view from the top of The Wall...at this rate, Season Three will easily surpass last year's.
But now to The Bear and the Maiden Fair, written by Big Daddy, George R.R. Martin, himself. And I think I speak for most fans of A Song of Ice and Fire when I write. »

"You're mine as I'm yours. If we die, we die. But first let's live"
This episode, scripted with relish by George Rr Martin, was very much Game of Thrones: the romance edition. We spent some downtime with Jon and Ygritte, learnt that Orell carries something of a torch for Ygritte (poor Orell, you have no chance – Jon Snow has curls, and all his own teeth), discovered »

Review Ron Hogan 13 May 2013 - 07:00
George R.R. Martin's script makes a great show even stronger this week. Here's Ron's review of The Bear And The Maiden Fair...
This review contains spoilers.
3.7 The Bear and the Maiden Fair
The episodes written by George R. R. Martin have traditionally been some of the best of their particular season. Since he's the man who invented the characters that inhabit this world (and the world itself for that matter), it's only natural that he seems to have the deftest touch when it comes to creating episodes and writing for the characters. In his hands, the already sharp dialogue gets that much sharper, honed and clever without being forced. His scripts tend to feel very natural, which is pretty impressive when you have slaver kings being threatened by dragons.
That is a very important skill to have when dealing with a dialogue-heavy episode, »

'Game of Thrones' 3.6 - 'The Climb' Recap and Review
6 May 2013 10:05 AM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
The newsflash of this episode is that "Game of Thrones" now has a governing metaphor. "Chaos is a ladder," says Lord Petyr Baelish. "The climb is all there is." Caveat emptor, and all that, but still. Highlightsfor this eventful episode include: A face-off between well-matched master thespians Diana Rigg and Charles Dance, as Lady Olenna and Lord Tywin, that may be the acting highpoint of the first two-and-a-half seasons of GoT. One of several scenes in the episode about the negotiation of wedding arrangements. Sansa makes calves eyes at the now all-but openly flaming Loras, then learns the truth (off-screen, unfortunately) about Tywin's wedding orders for her. Another unwilling groom is Edmure Tully, who has a point when he complains, but comes off petulant. You can't pick your relatives or, in this universe, your spouse. Melisandre gives Arya a portentous foreshadowing prediction about eyes peering out the darkness, in a »

[Warning: Spoilers ahead for Sunday’s episode, “The Climb”] Two political powerhouses met in this week’s Game of Thrones, when Twyin (Charles Dance) and the Queen of Thorns (Diana Rigg) clashed over marriages that will shape the future of the realm. Twyin proposed a union between Cersei (Lena Headey) and Loras Tyrell (Finn Jones). The Queen of Thorns objected on account of Cersei’s age, calling her old and saying she would soon be infertile. She didn’t miss a beat when Tywin referred to Loras secretly being gay, admitting her grandson was “a sword swallower through and through.” But the matriarch

Mark Kermode's DVD round-up
4 May 2013 4:11 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Impossible; Quartet; Midnight's Children
In Spain, Juan Antonio Bayona's visceral drama The Impossible (2012, EntertainmentOne, 12) broke box-office records, despite the fact that the real-life Belón Alvárez family, whose fate during the south-east Asian tsunami inspired the film, had been transformed on screen from Spanish to English speakers. Paradoxically, it was in English-speaking territories that this anglicisation caused the most problems, exacerbating the apparent disjunct between the miraculous fortunes of the privileged few and the overwhelming tragedy of the nameless many. While this thorny issue remains unresolved, it would be a shame if it caused the movie to be dismissed out of hand, for despite the expedient nationality shift, this remains a powerful drama about ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances that somehow manages to be both gruelling and uplifting.
Having proved himself a master of melancholic horror with spine-tingling ghost story The Orphanage, Bayona conjures a terrifying opening movement »
