Actress Sarah Shahi plays the mysterious Samantha Shaw on the intriguing CBS drama, Person of Interest. She must be feeling the love right about now because the show is bumping up her involvement. Shahi has been promoted to series regular status. Get ready to see more, more, more.
For a character who was simply introduced to the series in the second season in a multi-episode arc, this is quite an accomplishment. She will join the other regulars, Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, and Taraji P. Henson. CBS president Nina Tassler announced confirmed the news to THR.
Shahi’s character, Shaw, is just as capable as Caviezel’s John Reese. She has a penchant for taking out terrorists before they have a chance to attack.
When he role first began turning heads the actress has no clue that this promotion might one day come, saying, “All I’ve been told is that it’s a multi-episode arc, »

Today’s photos from an action-packed, upcoming episode of Person of Interest, titled “Zero Day”, reveal a familiar face. Yes, that’s the lovely and talented Amy Acker reprising her role on the CBS drama.
I’m tickled that J.J. Abrams is giving Acker, a favorite of mine, more work. The actress is already a darling of Mr. Joss Whedon, who hired her as his Beatrice for Much Ado About Nothing and gave her a role in The Cabin in the Woods. Of course she’s also appeared in a number of his shows, to include Angel and Dollhouse. Abrams has also used Acker in the past. She appeared in the final season of Alias. Great minds think alike!
As for today’s photos, they reveal that our trio of crime fighters, Reese, Mr. Finch and Detective Carter will have their hands full during “Zero Day,” which is seasons 2′s »

Chicago – “The Guilt Trip” is hideously uninspired dreck of the most shameful variety. It casts two major yet mismatched talents and refuses to utilize their distinctive gifts for the entirety of its running time. All they’re required to do is sleepwalk through a plot so uninspired that audiences will have no problem predicting its path with their eyes closed and their ears covered.
Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen certainly rank as one of the least convincing mother-son duos in movie history. There wasn’t a single instant in which I believed that this unlikely pair were related in any way, apart from sharing the same frame. Rogen does a nice job of portraying the squirmy straightman, but Streisand is such a cartoonish caricature of smothering mother love that she appears to have been spawned directly from a petri dish of clichés. She’s as believable a mother as Patricia Heaton is a Midwesterner. »

Director: Dan Bradley
Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Adrienne Palicki, Josh Hutcherson, Josh Peck
Synopsis: A young Marine, recently returned to civilian life, leads his friends in insurgency, when their Washington city is invaded, on all fronts, by a hostile foreign power.
One of the basic tenets of the chaos theory is that events are deterministic, suggesting that, given initial conditions, events are not susceptible to randomness. However, it is this precise determinism that, paradoxically, does Not make them predictable at all, but vulnerable to… chaos. This is the key premise to director Dan Bradley’s Red Dawn.
Chris Hemsworth, (Jed Eckert) a Us Marine, has recently returned to his native Spokane, after a six year tour of duty in Iraq. His father, Tom Eckert (Brett Cullen) is the city’s chief of police. Chris’s younger brother, Matt, (Josh Peck) looks up to his older brother, whom he thinks heroic. The brothers, »

Director: Anne Fletcher
Starring: Barbra Streisand, Seth Rogen, Kathy Najimy, Colin Hanks, Brett Cullen, Adam Scott
Running time: 95 minutes
Certificate: 12A
Synopsis: As inventor and salesman Andy Brewster (Seth Rogen) is about to embark on an eight-day road trip a quick stop at his mum’s house turns into an unexpected cross-country voyage with her along for the ride.
Billed as ‘the first mother-son road movie,’ The Guilt Trip sets out to pull on the heartstrings while simultaneously drawing laughs. Unfortunately, the result is a small drop of comedy lost in an entire ocean of Hollywood schmaltz. The film is too subdued to be a straight comedy, while the two lead characters’ respective love lives are too ho-hum to make it a film driven by drama or romance. The result is a rather underwhelming bore that should have embellished its comedy element to far greater effect.
In her first leading role since the nineties, »

Red Dawn, the remake of the cult classic ’80s movie of the same name, was finally released in the Us late last year after getting delayed for a few years following MGM’s financial troubles.
Fast forward a few months, and the film is finally about to be released on our shores, having been acquired by Koch Media. And with its UK release date fast approaching, arriving next Friday, we’ve had the new trailer sent over to share.
“In Red Dawn, a city in Washington State awakens to the surreal sight of North Korean paratroopers dropping from the sky – the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganising themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. »

The story of baseball player Jackie Robinson is one that has transcended sports history to embed itself as a milestone in American history. The first black player to successfully make the roster of the then white-only Baseball League, Robinson broke the door open for generations of players who came after him, suffering the brunt of the public’s dislike along the way. Thus, when a movie about Robinson’s life was announced, it came as little surprise, and its necessity was in even less dispute. Filmmaker Brian Helgeland takes on both writing and directing duties for the project, titled 42, with Harrison Ford, Christopher Meloni, Alan Tudyk, T.R. Knight, John C. McGinley, and Brett Cullen playing supporting roles to Chadwick Boseman, who takes on the role of Robinson. A new trailer for the feature has now been released, and can be seen below.
