Game of Thrones Series Blog 3.8: Second Sons (Contains Spoilers)
1 hour ago
Written By: David Benioff & D.B Weiss
Directed By: Michelle MacLaren
Synopsis: The wedding of Tyrion and Sansa arrives; Melisandre takes Gendry to Dragonstone, where he encounters Stannis; the Hound reveals his plans for Arya; Daenerys looks to recruit the Second Sons; Sam & Gilly fight for survival beyond the Wall.
The Verdict: White Walkers, weddings, and witchcraft. Never a good mix in real life, but in this week’s Game Of Thrones, it makes for superb Telly.
Second Sons benefits greatly from more focus on fewer main characters, resulting in a nice fair balance in way of character screen time and plot development. Samwell’s scene especially benefits, his relationship with Gilly not only getting some great push here by the writers, but also resulting in a terrific action sequence that had this hardcore fan punching the air in fanboyish glee. Likewise, it’s nice to see Davos and Stannis back together again, »

First Poster & New Images For Woody Allen’s ‘Blue Jasmine’
2 hours ago
Woody Allen appears to be firing them out from every direction at the moment, sorry if that’s too visual, but after the wonderful Midnight In Paris and To Rome With Love, we’ve now got the first poster for Blue Jasmine. Once again, he’s gathered a great cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin, Peter Sarsgaard, Louis C.K, Sally Hawkins, Michael Stuhlbarg and a whole host of names.
Currently, there’s not much given over the plot beyond this little snippet that says it is “the story of the final stages of an acute crisis and a life of a fashionable New York housewife.” With one hell of a ensemble and more witty Woody, we’re always sure he’ll come up with something clever. However, at the moment it’s only set release dates for La and New York on July 26th, the best day of the year. »

See More Of Smallville, Krypton & Cast In Stunning ‘Man Of Steel’ Stills!
12 hours ago
As mentioned in my previous article showcasing the majesty of a gun-toing Russell Crowe as Jor-El in the first character poster, there’s rarely a day goes by without some glorious Man Of Steel goodies leaving us to salivate over the upcoming Superman epic. I’ve rarely felt this excited for such an awesome superhero ensemble and brings back the memories of sneaking into a screening of Tim Burton’s Batman, way back in 1989.
Zack Snyder’s is the man tasked with breathing new life into the iconic character known for donning the red and blue spandex. Only this time, Henry Cavill’s Kal-El will look a lot cooler than the late Christopher Reeve in the costume. Fingers crossed the film is a massive hit, so we can stand behind our hero and join him in the sun for future instalments.

13 hours ago
Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson was previously attached to the fact-based gangster thriller based on the life of John Gotti and his ‘family’. However, Jurassic Park 3 and Captain America’s Joe Johnston’s was recently installed as the new helmer.
Real-life couple John Travolta and Kelly Preston have been attached to the project from pretty much day one, with Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Lindsay Lohan, Ben Foster and Chazz Palminteri also set to co-star. Whether or not those names are still interested (well, Pesci has a lawsuit pending against to producers so you can rule him out) following Levinson’s departure remains to be seen but we can at least confirm Anthony Hopkins has joined the cast in the murderous story told from the point-of-view of the late mafia Don’s son. The Academy Award-winning actor has previously worked with Johnston on Universal’s remake of The Wolfman.

Epic Review
18 hours ago
Director: Chris Wedge.
Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Jason Sudeikis, Josh Hutcherson, Colin Farrell, Pitbull, Christoph Waltz, Beyoncé Knowles, Judah Friedlander, Aziz Ansari, Chris O’Dowd, Steven Tyler.
Running Time: 102 minutes.
Certificate: PG.
Synopsis: Transported to a forest where good and evil are caught in a constant battle, Mary Katherine (Amanda Seyfried) joins forces with an odd group of characters to save both their world and ours.
From the outset, Epic’s virtuosity for computer-generated animation seamlessly transports us to a virtual world of natural beauty where the good and life forces prevail. Adapted from William Joyce’s book ‘The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs’, Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios deliver an exquisite celebration of Mother Nature that charmingly unfurls like fern leaves unravelling in sunlight. Thematically rooted in educating the audience about ecology and life’s transience, the film is a brilliant sensory confection that never loses sight of plot or characterisation. »
