DVD Playhouse – May 2012
By Allen Gardner
Shame (20th Century Fox) Director Steve McQueen’s harrowing portrait of a Manhattan sex addict (Michael Fassbender, in the year’s most riveting performance) whose psyche goes into overload when his equally-troubled sister (Carey Mulligan) visits unexpectedly. Exquisitely-made on every level, save for the screenplay, which makes its point after about thirty minutes. While it tries hard to be a modern-day Last Tango in Paris, this fatal flaw makes it fall somewhat short. The much- ballyhooed sex scenes and frontal nudity are the least-interesting things about the film, incidentally, which is still a must-see for discriminating adults who seek out challenging material. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS-hd 5.1 surround.

A Latino girl counts the cost of becoming a rising hip-hop star.
Stories about making it (or being compromised by making it) in the hip-hop world and trying to mark out a better place for yourself and escape 'the life' of downtown La are a dime a dozen. Directors Michael Olmos (son of legendary Latino actor Edward James Olmos, who starred in Miami Vice and Battlestar Galactica) and Youssef Delara were no doubt aware that given the crowded field, they would have to bring something new to the table with his story about a young Latino Los Angeles hip-hop artist who grasps at a shot for »

Soon a major label and its strong-arm executive come calling. Convinced that a record deal will deliver much needed money for the family, Majo is suddenly faced with some stark choices. Does she accept the deal and turn her back on the friends who got her to the precipice of success or does she let a golden opportunity slip away.

Ray Stevenson Joins “Dexter”
24 April 2012 1:29 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Ray Stevenson (Rome, Thor, Punisher: War Zone) has been cast for the seventh season of Showtime’s favorite serial killer, Dexter. According to EW.com, Stevenson will play the leader of an organized Russian mafia-like crime circuit that finds itself in Miami. The possibility of seeing Dexter working with (or without, depending on how the cliffhanger shakes out) the police to take down a crime syndicate sounds fairly intriguing, and pretty different, to me. Stevenson is a great actor in a long list of stellar series long guest stars (John Lithgow, Jimmy Smits, Edward James Olmos, to name a couple). The last couple of seasons have been probably the weakest to date, but the revelation at the end of last season, coupled with this inspired casting choice, and things are looking up for Dexter in what could be its penultimate season. »

'12 Angry Men': Why Sidney Lumet's Claustrophobic Classic Still Matters
16 April 2012 4:59 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
On paper, it's a tough sell: a black-and-white movie set in one room, with an all-male (and all-white) cast, with no action except for a heated war of words among a dozen guys. Indeed, "12 Angry Men" -- which opened 55 years ago last week (April 13, 1957) -- with its shoestring budget, was a financial flop, and while it was nominated for three Oscars (including Best Picture), it lost them all to the splashier, more colorful, wide-screen epic "The Bridge on the River Kwai." Yet today, "12 Angry Men" is considered a classic, not just for its riveting script and top-notch acting, but also for how it made a virtue of its stagy limitations. Adapted by Reginald Rose from his own 1954 TV play (back when live drama was a TV staple), the movie expanded the hour-long story of a deliberating jury into 95 minutes, but it didn't expand the confines of the setting: a single, »

Titanic With Len Goodman | Reverse Missionaries | Twenty Twelve | Justified | Dexter | 30 Rock
Titanic With Len Goodman
8.30pm, BBC1
"To this day, Titanic touches us all," Len enthuses at the start of the programme. Why it touches the Strictly Come Dancing judge in particular is a question begging to be asked – though his past life as a welder for Harland and Wolff (builders of the ship) gives us a clue – as he meets the descendants of those who survived the tragedy. A highlight is the tale of Sir Cosmo, an aristocrat who lived in ignominy for boarding a lifeboat with the women and children. Lovable Len tries his best to adopt a tone befitting the occasion, but you can't help but expect him to shout "se-vern!" at any moment. Sarah Deen

Frak! 'Battlestar' TV Spinoff Grounded

Fans of "Battlestar Galactica" hoping to see a young Adama kick some Cylon butt will have to wait a bit longer ... and turn to their computer screens.
After a trailer for "Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome" -- Syfy's much buzzed about, long-delayed "BSG" prequel -- leaked at WonderCon, Syfy finally broke its silence on the project.
"Though the vision for 'Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome' has evolved over the course of the past year, our enthusiasm for this ambitious project has not waned," Mark Stern, president of original content at Syfy and co-head of original content at Universal Cable Productions, said in a statement. "We are actively pursuing it as was originally intended: a groundbreaking digital series that will launch to audiences beyond the scope of a television screen. The 90-minute pilot movie will air on Syfy in its entirety at a future date."

Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome Prequel No Longer Looking Like a TV Series, But...

Yes, we know. You're very fracking annoyed right now. An action-packed trailer for the avidly nerd-awaited Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome was screened at WonderCon this past weekend, and just as fans were getting stoked to watch the planned prequel it turns out that Syfy is no longer planning to develop it as a series! What the heck, man? However, there is hope that this outfit might one day reach screens... According to Deadline, Blood & Chrome, which features a younger version of Edward James Olmos' Adama character during the war against the Cylons, may become a digital series. Also heartening, the pilot sounds like it will end up as a one-shot movie for the »
Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome: Why'd That Awesome Viral Trailer Get Yanked Off YouTube?

Yes, we know. You're very fracking annoyed right now. An action-packed trailer for the avidly nerd-awaited Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome was screened at WonderCon this past weekend, then quickly went viral on YouTube, but just as fans were getting stoked to watch the planned prequel, the clip was yanked from YouTube. Now, more bad news... The show will not become a new series on Syfy. Instead, according to Deadline, Blood & Chrome, which features a younger version of Edward James Olmos' Adama character during the war against the Cylons, may turn into a digital series. The reason the trailer was pulled from YouTube was because it was never vetted by Syfy and cleared »
New BSG series: Blood & Chrome
21 March 2012 10:47 AM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Possibly taking a naming cue from the Spartacus series, the new BSG series looks to tell a new but familiar story in the Battlestar canon. B&C is a prequel, but not in the vein of Caprica. It would appear the story centers on a young William Adama (now played by Luke Pasqualino, subbing for a younger version of the character endeared to many by Edward James Olmos) and his time fighting in the Cylon Wars, a time period often referenced in the original series (the new original series not the classic original series. . . you get the point). While there aren’t many details other than what’s in front of your eyeballs here, it seems the production has decided to go with largely digital sets and environments. If the trailer is any indication of quality, it looks like they pretty much nailed it. Besides, BSG was about character and stories. »

Battlestar: Blood & Chrome Teaser Online
20 March 2012 5:02 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
The short-lived spin-off series Caprica may not quite have won the hearts of Battlestar Galactica's fan army, but SyFy have high hopes for Blood And Chrome, a showreel for which debuted at WonderCon over the weekend, and has now found its way online (spotted by AICN).Cut to the Trent Reznor/Karen O/Dragon Tattoo version of Immigrant Song, it's a breakneck glimpse of the battle-heavy pilot, but goes a long way towards showcasing the new system of virtual sets, which replaces the rebooted Battlestar Galactica's reliance on relatively limiting practical builds.Blood And Chrome was originally mooted in 2010 as a series of webisodes a la The Resistance, The Face of the Enemy and the Razor Flashbacks, before SyFy opted to give it the full works. It's set between Caprica and BSG, in the tenth year of the first war with the Cylons, and focuses on a young »
