Revenge is a dish best served cold – or in this case soggy, in pellet form, and tasting like a combination of fish and synthetic meats. Isn’t that what dog food tastes like? Sorry, I don’t eat the slop myself, and definitely have never eaten a dog treat as the result of losing an ill-advised drunken bet. But why the dog references? As you can guess, Revenge For Jolly! isn’t your normal revenge flick, as the murderous rampage that takes place is brought on by the assassination of a sweet, innocent, little canine named Jolly. We all know a dog is man’s best friend, but would you kill for yours?
Harry (Brian Pestos), the owner of Jolly, is a loser-ish loner who keeps reminding us of the bad choices he’s made in the past. We can tell he’s not the most normal fellow by the »

Chicago – Evoking the civil rights melodramas of the ’60s, such as Guy Green’s wrenching “A Patch of Blue,” with a dash of Robert Benton’s 1979 masterpiece, “Kramer vs. Kramer,” Travis Fine’s “Any Day Now” shamelessly aims to tug at the heartstrings. And tug at them he does with considerable success, thanks in large part to the riveting, career-best performance delivered by Alan Cumming. It’s the sort of work that could’ve easily been honored with an Oscar nod, had Fox Searchlight or Harvey Weinstein picked it up.
Set in California circa 1979, the film centers on a gay couple struggling to care for a young boy who is in desperate need of a family. Though the couple desires to be considered as his parents, they find themselves in the same predicament as the distraught father figure in Patrick Wang’s 2011 masterpiece, “In the Family.” Yet whereas Wang’s »

Sterling performances by Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt help elevate Any Day Now above a premise that may sound quite familiar: a non-traditional couple runs into trouble when they try to adopt a special-needs child. Set in West Hollywood, California, in 1979, the original screenplay by Travis Fine and George Arthur Bloom, inspired by a true story, sets up one stereotype after another, only to topple them gently. Rudy (Cumming) is performing in a nightclub when he locks eyes with Paul (Dillahunt). They adjourn to Paul's car for a quick tryst and the promise of a future meeting. When Rudy returns home, he discovers that next-door neighbor Marco (Isaac Leyva), a teenage boy with Down's syndrome, has been left abandoned by the arrest of his...

It's hard to believe that in just a few weeks, after years of hopes, rumors, speculation and wishful thinking, a brand new season of "Arrested Development" will be here. And it won't be parceled out with an episode each week -- instead, Netflix is going to drop all 15 in one go, prompting marathon viewing across the nation, and challenging servers from coast to coast. There's a lot to learn about where the story will go and how things have changed -- be sure to read our breakdown of all things 'Ad' right here -- but perhaps the most satisfaction will come from just clicking Play and going in fresh. But if you must have a peek, there are some new images here -- including a first look at guest star Isla Fisher -- that prompt some questions: is Maebe back working at a movie studio?

An an eight time Oscar nominee -- winning for "The Lion King" in 1995 -- recent years have seen Hans Zimmer mostly in blockbuster mode. For Christopher Nolan, he's tuned up "Inception," "The Dark Knight" trilogy and the forthcoming "Man Of Steel," and he's given Captain Jack Sparrow some bounce in three of the four "Pirates Of The Caribbean" movies. This year alone he's already delivered music for the hit mini-series "The Bible," with work on "Rush" and "The Lone Ranger" around the corner. But a slavery drama? We didn't see this coming. Indeed, Zimmer will be scoring Steve McQueen's "Twelve Years A Slave," adding another intriguing ingredient to what is already a very anticipated film. The talent is as great as it is extensive: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Scoot McNairy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti, Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson, Garret Dillahunt, Ruth Negga, Taran Killam, Adepero Oduye, Alfre Woodard, Quvenzhané. »

Tom Felton is to star in a new film set during World War II.
The Harry Potter star will join Raising Hope's Garret Dillahunt and The Host's Jake Abel in Ghosts of the Pacific.
The drama will tell the story of a pilot (Dillahunt), bombardier (Felton) and radioman (Abel) who, during a scouting mission in January, 1942, are forced to ditch their plane and brave the ocean on a small life raft with no food, water or supplies.
Felton recently completed the filming of Therese Raquin, in which he plays Therese's (Elizabeth Olsen) husband.
His character returns from the dead to haunt Therese and her lover Laurent after they conspire to murder him.
Felton has previously spoken about his fear of being typecast after appearing in the popular Harry Potter franchise.
He said: "It's a mixed bag, because it gets you through the door to meet people, but they're »

“Harry Potter” star Tom Felton is shedding his Hogwarts robes -- and his British accent -- for his next role, as an American Navy pilot in the upcoming World War II drama “Ghosts of the Pacific.” The actor, who portrayed Slytherin student and Harry Potter nemesis Draco Malfoy in the series, will get to play a hero this time, in the role of real-life bombardier Tony Pastula. Pastula was stranded in the South Pacific in 1942 alsongside pilot Harold Dixon and radioman Gene Aldrich after the trio abandoned their damaged scouting plane. They ended up adrift on a 4-foot-by-8-foot raft for 34 days with no food, water, or supplies. “I've always been attracted to true stories that showcase ordinary people in extraordinary situations,” said Joe Ricketts, the film's executive producer. “The men in ‘Ghosts of the Pacific' faced seemingly insurmountable odds and yet they never gave up. They were America's first heroes of the Pacific war. »
