Good afternoon and happy hump day!

Happy birthday to Ginnifer Goodwin, Maggie Q, Naomi Campbell, Alison Eastwood and Brooke Smith!

Watch the below video to relive the moment when Smith played Dr. Erica Hahn on Grey’s Anatomy and declare, “I am so so so gay!”

Speaking of Grey’s Anatomy, Shonda Rhimes wants everyone to know, “Callie isn't a victim; she's never really been a victim and she's been cheated on before with George. So how she's going to take this and what she's going to do next is going to be the bigger issue."

Date Moved Up For The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones

9 hours ago | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

It seems to be a trend with movies, most recently I’ve noticed it with Star Trek Into Darkness, but movies have started to move their dates up to Wednesday instead of the traditional Friday to capitalize on their opening weekend. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is the latest to take advantage of the trend.

According to book author, Cassandra Clare on her Tumblr, the release date has been moved up to August 21, and she’s thrilled about it.

I’m really excited because it means the fans will get to see the movie earlier! It also reflects a lot of confidence in the film on the part of the studio to move it to a Wednesday release date so I’m really excited about that, too.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones starring Lily Collins, Lena Headey, Jamie Campbell Bower, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Robert Sheehan, Kevin Zegers, Kevin Durand, »

Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book

18 hours ago | Sky Movies | See recent Sky Movies news »

This romantic, live-action take on Rudyard Kipling's classic tale stars Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli, the 'man-cub' raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. In this version the feral hero falls for Kitty (Lena Headey), the sophisticated daughter of British colonel (Sam Neill) who takes him away from his forest home and into civilisation. Taught to speak by Dr Plumford (John Cleese), Mowgli soon tires of life away from the jungle and the rivalry between himself and the wily Captain Boone (Cary Elwes) for the Kitty's affections. »

Details, Release Date for The Purge Soundtrack

22 hours ago | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

Back Lot Music will release the soundtrack for The Purge, Universal Pictures’ upcoming speculative thriller starring Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey, on June 4th.. The Purge Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features new music by Nathan Whitehead. The film opens on June 7th.

“Scoring The Purge was a fascinating and haunting exploration into what we value as a society and how far will we go in the name of greater social good,” Whitehead reflects. “Sonically, this was such a fun world to develop as I got to record and process a lot of strange sounds to create our own vocabulary for the score—everything from spring rattles and noisy toys to whooshing traffic and subway tunnels.

Game of Thrones Season Three - Episode 8 Review

21 May 2013 7:45 AM, PDT | 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. »
