Game of Thrones Season Three - Episode 8 Review

7 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, »

Exclusive Video: On Tour With The Purge, An Interview With Jason Blum

20 May 2013 1:03 PM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

Earlier this month, I took the chance to hop on board a film tour.  In addition to hosting some screening Q&As on that tour, I interviewed some of those involved in the movie, well in advance of the usual press junket madness.  That film is The Purge, a solid, thought-provoking and vicious lil' home invasion thriller opening June 7th that stars Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey.  The tour took me to New York City, then Chicago, then Estes Park, Colorado just outside of Denver where the film opened the Stanley Film Festival.

The tour had already been well underway when I dropped in.  Producer Jason Blum, of Blumhouse Productions, was showing it off to various college towns.  To me, this maneuver evoked a rather old school spirit - a time when filmmakers and distributors would take their film reels and move from city to city showing their picture off. »

‘Game Of Thrones’ Recap: Tyrion’s Wedding Ends In Death Threats

19 May 2013 9:32 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

Plus, Daenerys makes a sexy new ally — and, oh my God, leeches!

I can’t imagine anything more awkward than Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) giving Sansa (Sophie Turner) away at her wedding to Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) — who’s now better known as “the god of t**s and wine” — and yet that’s exactly what happened on the May 19 episode of Game Of Thrones, which also saw the series’ most intense White Walker encounter yet!

Anyway, Tyrion and Sansa’s super-uncomfortable union had all the requirements for a classic Westeros wedding, complete with rape threats and a war of words between Cersei (Lena Headey) and Margaery (Natalie Dormer). Perhaps I could best sum up their interaction with Cersei’s final threat: “If you ever call me sister again, I’ll have you strangled in your sleep.” What. A. Bitch.

Come sex time, Tyrion was so drunk that he could barely stand — classic T! »

Atlanta Readers: Win Passes to See The Purge

13 May 2013 2:51 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

There are two home-invasion-thrillers on the way this summer, and first up is The Purge.  The movie takes place in a world where the government keeps the peace by sanctioning an annual 12-hour period where everything—including murder—becomes legal.  During this madness, a family inside a gated community fights to survive without turning into monsters themselves.  You'll see a fair share of blockbusters this summer, but this is a movie that could be a hit from strong word-of-mouth. I'm pleased to announce that we're giving away ten admit-two passes to the Atlanta screening of The Purge.  Hit the jump to find out how you can see the film early and for free.  The film stars Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Adelaide Kane, and Max BurkholderThe Purge opens June 7th.

Game of Thrones: Season 3, Episode 6 Deconstructed

12 May 2013 10:17 PM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »

Welcome to “It Is Known – Season 3 Deconstructed”! Every week, you will find my extensive review of the week’s episode of Game of Thrones

I will explore the narrative that the show weaves. And what a narrative indeed! The story is complex, the characters are manifold, the twists and turns unexpected. I will deconstruct the episodes piece by piece, moving from character to character. This is an unusual approach, I admit, and a bit cumbersome at times, but the show basically does the same. The episodes are just parts of one, epic story, and as parts we have to examine them if we hope to get everything that happens. 

There will be no real spoilers for future events, but I will reference the books from time to time, so if you haven’t read them, you might want to be careful around these reviews, although I’ll try to keep the references cryptic. »

New Release Dates for 300 Sequel and All You Need Is Kill

11 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Warner Bros. has moved a couple of movies around in their release schedule. They moved 300: Rise of an Empire from this August to March 7th, 2014. Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution explained the move saying,

Moving 300: Rise of an Empire to March 7 continues in the tradition of the first 300, and kicks off the Spring movie-going season in epic style. The film is on track to become all that audiences have come to expect from the franchise.

One of the things not mentioned in the news was that the film was one of the movies affected by the recent financial problems of the visual effects house Rhythm & Hues. I'm sure that had something to do with it as well. There will need to be more time to get the effects heavy film ready for release. 

The studio also ended up shifting the release of Tom Cruise's sci-fi action »

11 Worst TV Moms From ‘Once Upon A Time,’ ‘Glee’ & More Shows

10 May 2013 10:22 PM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »

In honor of Mother’s Day, HollywoodLife.com is paying tribute to all the TV moms we love… to hate!

Mother’s Day Weekend is supposed to be a time of reflection all the wonderful qualities of the moms in our lives — but here at HollywoodLife.com, we’re doing things a little differently. We’re choosing to celebrate the mom-sters living inside our DVRs, the TV moms we watch in fear every week. And trust us, it was hard to narrow this list down to just 11!

Let’s start with the mom-sters currently having a very big weekend, shall we? May 12 marks the season finale of ABC’s Once Upon A Time, which wouldn’t be half as magical without the sinister shenanigans of Regina (Lana Parrilla), the Evil Queen and evil mom of poor little Henry. Following that episode, upper-class villainess Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe) will perform her »

Hello fellow queer cinephiles!  As we enter the long, hot days of summer, everyone wants to cool off in a theater and watch other people try to save the world.  The summer tends to be a pretty testosterone-soaked season for movies, so I’m here to help you sort the films you want to be in the front row for from those you just use as an excuse to cuddle in the back.

Editor's note: * denotes a film that includes openly lesbian/bi actresses or lesbian/bi characters.

You’re there to see: Venus and Serena Williams, obviously.

In a nutshell: Who doesn’t want to know more about the two sisters who changed tennis forever? This one’s a must-see for any lesbian with a pair of athletic shoes.
