Anyone hoping to glean even the smallest detail of House of Cards' second season during the series' TV Academy panel on Thursday night was out of luck. Beau Willimon seems to come from the Matthew Weiner school of transparency in terms of showrunning. "Nothing about season two," he said when cast member Kristen Connolly was asked if she'd be returning. The gag order extended to when and how future episodes will premiere -- and whether or not plans are already in motion for a life beyond Netflix's current $100 million 26-episode order.

The Bay, 2012.
Directed by Barry Levinson.
Starring Will Rogers, Kristen Connolly, Kether Donohue, Stephen Nunken, Frank Deal, Christopher Denham and Nansi Aluka.
Synopsis:
Chaos breaks out in the small seaside town of Chesapeake Bay when a deadly plague is unleashed, turning the residents into hosts for a mutant breed of parasites.
If you’ve watched the Paranormal Activity films of late, or watched The Blair Witch Project when that was released, and you find yourself itching to see another found footage film, then The Bay may well be what you’re looking for. Yes right now we’re in the flux of a found footage stampede. They’re coming out left, right and centre. Big screen and small screen. It’s possibly the “in thing” of the horror genre right now. Do we really need another? Do we even want another? If the answer is yes, then The Bay will probably satisfy. »

Director: Barry Levinson
Starring: Kristen Connolly, Will Rogers, Christopher Denham,
Running Time: 84 Minutes
Certificate: 15
Extras: Behind the scenes footage, Trailer
News that Barry Levinson, director of Rain Man, Diner and Sphere, was making a found-footage horror film caused either a ripple of excitement, or a ‘sigh’ of tedium depending on your view of the divisive genre.
The simple story harks back to the likes of Jaws as a rapidly spreading parasite rips through a small town on the 4th of July. This outlandish comparison is in no way hyperbolic, because no-one will be going in the water after the events of the movie. More than horror, the film also offers social commentary, with a clearly underprepared government ignoring early warnings in favour of profits.
Levinson manages to put found footage to incredible use: jumping between holiday videos (of which there are many being 4th July), cell phones, webcams, CCTV, and »

Gangs Of Wasseypur Part 2 (18)
(Anurag Kashyap, 2012, Ind) Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Zeishan Quadri, Aditya Kumar, Huma Qureshi. 160 mins
It's over five hours long in all, but there's barely a slack moment in this exhilarating Indian epic as it races through generations of smalltown criminal, industrial and political enmity. Yes, it's violent, but like all great crime stories it's also a vibrant tapestry of family life and modern history, closer to Leone, Coppola or Tarantino than Bollywood.
Stoker (18)
(Park Chan-wook, 2013, Us/UK) Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode. 99 mins
The Oldboy director gives us a sensual, tantalisingly ambiguous thriller, centred on Wasikowska and her shifty smalltown family.
Arbitrage (15)
(Nicholas Jarecki, 2012, Us) Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Brit Marling. »

Director: Barry Levinson; Screenwriter: Michael Wallach; Starring: Kristen Connolly, Christopher Denham, Jane McNeill; Running time: 84 mins; Certificate: 15
Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson, the veteran who helmed classics like Rain Men, Diner and Bugsy, deserves kudos for attempting to turn the increasingly moribund found footage subgenre into a more thought-provoking entity. But beyond noble intentions lies a largely ineffective and ponderous movie that harnesses many of the worst elements of both the horror genre and the found footage trope.
The Bay has a familiar eco-disaster premise that harks back to movies like Return of the Living Dead Part II. Instead of the toxic gas spillage that torments a town in that zombie splatterfest, Levinson's movie features a waterborne threat that stems from the unethical dumping of waste off the shores of a seaside town in Maryland.
After the one-dimensionally fiendish mayor ignores some ominous scientific research, a deadly plague is unleashed and »

Chicago – By now, many of you have probably worked your way through the thirteen episodes of Netflix’s highly anticipated and (mostly) highly acclaimed new dramatic original series, “House of Cards,” starring Kevin Spacey, Robin Wright, Corey Stoll, and Kate Mara. While TV critics often get programming in advance, this was a case where everyone had access to all 13 episodes of the first season of a show at the same time.
Television Rating: 4.0/5.0
It’s only one way in which “House of Cards” changed the rules. And lest you think that this series is not a game-changer, call someone at HBO, Showtime, Hulu, Amazon, or the ratings-deprived networks. They’re all paying close attention to what Netflix has accomplished here in defining a new business model that is not just profitable but creatively vital as well.

On Friday, Netflix released their much-hyped original TV series House of Cards. Was it worth the wait? Should they make a second season or cancel it now?
Based on a novel by Michael Dobbs and a BBC mini-series, House of Cards revolves around a devious congressman (Kevin Spacey) and his wife (Robin Wright) who'll stop at nothing to execute his plans to reach higher office.
Others in the cast include Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Michael Kelly, Kristen Connolly, Constance Zimmer, Sebastian Arcelus, Sandrine Holt, Michael Gill, Dan Ziskie, Sakina Jaffrey, Ben Daniels, Mahershala Ali, and Rachel Brosnahan.
Unlike a traditional network, Netflix released all 13 episodes of House of Card's first season at once, so customers can stream them on their own schedule. With DVR usage becoming more and more prevalent, people obviously like this option but it remains to »

This weekend, Netflix premiered House of Cards. All of House of Cards. It was a bold strategy that signaled that not only was Netflix now in the television business (even though it isn't their first original series), but that they had quality programming on the level of HBO. House of Cards is a show with the same level of plotting, character development, twists, and turns that we've come to expect from the celebrated premium channel. In some ways, House of Cards is even better than some of HBO's recent offerings. Beau Willimon's adaptation of the BBC series is radical not only in its distribution, but also in how it spits in the face of those who claim that they need characters to "root for". House of Cards jumps between four plotlines that orbit around lead character Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey). Underwood is a callous, craven Democratic congressman and the House Majority Whip, »
