True Blood season 6 episode 3 review: You're No Good
4 hours ago
Review 1 Jul 2013 - 16:30
Bon Temps prepares for bloody, dirty war, and luckily, a main player is back to his usual self just in time to join in...

6.3 You're No Good
Three episodes in and it’s already clear that some very strange things are afoot in the sleepy, supernatural hub that is Bon Temps. Aside from the magical children, and the still-yet-to-show Warlow, we’re now faced with possible daywalking vamps, rampaging weres and, most terrifying of all, a Jason-less True Blood. Things couldn’t be more strange in Louisiana.
Yes, after several hundred head injuries, it would seem that what’s left of Jason’s brain has finally given up the ghost. Or at least, that’s the most obvious possibility. Given that Bon Temps as a whole appears to be entirely distrusting of the medical profession – literally no one goes to the doctor »

Aaron Paul "couldn't be happier" with Breaking Bad finale

News Louisa Mellor 1 Jul 2013 - 06:45
He didn't want it to end, but Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul says the show has the finale it richly deserves...
For a character who was supposed to be killed off in season one, Breaking Bad's Jesse Pinkman has proved remarkably resilient. The final eight episodes of Vince Gilligan's superlative drama will be with us next month, and Pinkman is still very much part of proceedings.
Collider asked Aaron Paul what it was like to already know the ending of the show we're all counting down the days to watch, “Is it weird walking around knowing all the secrets and not being able to say anything?”. Here's what he told them:
"It’s great. I don’t have a problem not telling people because I don’t want to ruin it for anybody. Everyone asks me, but they don’t really want to know, »

Maron episodes 9 & 10 review: Projections & Mexican Angel
12 hours ago
Review Glen Chapman 30 Jun 2013 - 20:42
Maron concludes its promising first series with an uneven but touching two-parter. Here's Glen's review...
This review contains spoilers.
1.9 Projections & 1.10 Mexican Angel
Well, the end came sooner than I was expecting. There I was preparing myself for the penultimate episode of the season only for Marc Maron to announce on Twitter that the two final episodes would air back to back. A pleasant surprise, but sad to see the series end so quickly.
The double header starts with Projections, an episode - like Sponsor - that stands apart from the season not only in the sense that it doesn't really fit in with an established narrative and as such can be enjoyed out of context, but also in the fact that it's by far and away one of the highlights of the season.
Marc looks to take a lunch meeting with a former college friend of his, »

Copper season 2 episode 2 review: Aileen Aroon
13 hours ago
Review Kylie Peters 1 Jul 2013 - 07:00
Copper's latest is a depressing, gritty affair. Here's Kylie's review of Aileen Aroon...
This review contains spoilers.
2.2 Aileen Aroon
This week’s spotlight on relationship issues features opium abuse, female empowerment, and the most depressing sex you’ve ever seen. Matthew Freeman and Sara’s marriage flounders when Freeman insists on returning to Five Points to become the resident doctor. Robert Morehouse and Elizabeth prepare for their wedding, but Elizabeth is shaken my Morehouse’s proclamation of disgust for Kennedy, whom she secretly supported. Corcoran and Ellen each grapple with despair, distrust, and blame as they try to rebuild their life together in the wake of tragedy.
This is the Freemans at their most compelling, and it was long overdue. Their story has always been a point of interest in Copper, but it was somewhat removed from the conflicts faced by the other characters and often sidelined. »

What is NBC's Siberia?

Feature Rachael Kates 1 Jul 2013 - 07:45
NBC's new supernatural drama, Siberia, promises Lost meets District 9 meets Survivor. Rachael chats to creator/director Matthew Arnold...
If you feel like you're watching a reality TV show when you turn on NBC's new supernatural drama Siberia; good. You're exactly where executive producer and creator Matthew Arnold wants you to be. Walking the path of other similar projects such as the Orson Welles radio broadcasts of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds and the film The Blair Witch Project, Siberia aspires to be the first television show that will make people stop and question the what they're seeing in the same way. "I think it’s possible some people will be scanning through the channels and not really have heard the promos so much to know and will just click in and be watching this reality show and then go 'what the heck? »

Falling Skies season 3 episode 5 review: Search And Recover

Review Ron Hogan 1 Jul 2013 - 07:25
Falling Skies puts its two most interesting characters front and centre this week, and is all the better for it...
This review contains spoilers.
3.5 Search and Recover
The fifth episode of the season for Falling Skies is one I've been waiting for since the events of last week. Basically, this week's instalment promised a Pope and Mason festival, and do we ever get it. The show's best actor and best-defined character together for the bulk of an episode? Thank you very much, Falling Skies. It's strange to see that after all this time, Mason and Pope don't get along, but it's nice to see them fighting with one another. They're very complementary characters, each filling in the gaps of the other in the show sense, and when you've got the star (Noah Wylie) and the break-out actor (Colin Cunningham) together in the A plot, »

Margot Kidder on Superman and Man Of Steel

News Simon Brew 1 Jul 2013 - 06:35
She was Lois Lane to a generation, and Margot Kidder has been chatting about big screen Superman, past and present...
It's little secret that Margot Kidder, who played Lois Lane in the original run of Superman films, had her fair share of words over her treatment while working on them, and her views on decisions that were made. Specifically, she was no fan of the producters, the Salkinds, and didn't hold back about saying so. Hence, her virtual non-appearance in Superman III.
Kidder has returned to the subject as part of a new interview with Wa Today that's well worth checking out. She reiterates her unhappiness over events surrounding Superman II in particular, when director Richard Donner was fired from the project. "It was very hard watching him go", she recalled. "Some of us made more of a fuss than others - me in »

Is Despicable Me 2 heading for $1bn worldwide?

News Simon Brew 1 Jul 2013 - 06:06
With a huge UK opening under its belt, is Despicable Me 2 set to be the biggest hit of the summer?
At the start of the summer blockbuster season, all eyes were looking at the likes of Iron Man 3, Star Trek Into Darkness, Man Of Steel and Monster University as the big hits of the season. But it might just be that Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment have the ace up their sleeve. Bluntly, the early signs are that Despicable Me 2, when it opens fully around the globe, is set to be huge.
The film has opened in just seven countries worldwide so far, and already has $50m in the bank off the back of it. In the UK in particular, the film has given Universal, by some distance, its biggest opening weekend of all time over here. Including last weekend's previews, »
