Review Billy Grifter 22 May 2013 - 06:01
Billy wishes a horde of zombies would show up in Revolution to shake things up a bit. Here's his review of Clue...
This review contains spoilers.
1.18 Clue
I know that regular readers of my reviews are going to wonder what recreational drugs I'd been taking before I watched Clue, but astoundingly this was the first watchable story in what seems like forever.
The clue to what we got was in the title, because this was an old-style whodunit, where lots of likely candidates were presented as being behind sabotaging Miles' attempt to intercept Bass at the tower. And the more outrageous the finger pointing, the more confident I became that the person responsible wasn't one that was remotely suspicious or guilty looking.
But before I get entirely carried away, the preamble where Nora was tortured provided the same lack of logical thinking that has pervaded the show so far. »

J.J. Abrams and Alfonso Cuarón have teamed up to bring us great looking new TV series on NBC called Believe. The sci-fi thriller follows a young girl with super powers played Johnny Sequoyah, and a death row inmate played by Jake McLaughlin who brakes out of prison to protect her.
Cuarón wrote and directed the pilot episode and will also serve as an executive producer alongside Abrams. We have the first trailer of the series for you to watch, and I think it looks awesome! Here's a detailed synopsis:
Levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature, even predict the future… since she was two years old, Bo has had gifts she could neither fully understand nor control. Raised by a small group known as the “True Believers,” the orphaned girl has been safeguarded from harmful outsiders who would use her forces for personal gain. But now that she is 10, her powers have become stronger, »

As far as two people to create a TV series together, it'd be hard to do much better than J.J. Abrams and Alfonso Cuaron. The former is, obviously, the man behind hits like "Alias," "Lost" and "Revolution," while the latter is the acclaimed filmmaker behind "Children Of Men," who'll make his long-awaited return this October with "Gravity." The delayed post-production on the latter gave Cuaron the time to cook up "Believe" with Abrams, and direct a pilot, NBC picked up the show, and now a trailer has arrived, via /Film. The show seems to be a sort of blend of "The Fugitive," "Paper Moon" and Abrams' vaguely sci-fi conspiracy millieu (the show looks a lot like "Fringe" at this point -- good news for us, probably not good news when it comes to the ratings.) It follows an ex-con (Jake McLaughlin of "Warrior" and "Safe House,") who has to protect »

Last week we posted a ton of trailers for a bunch new shows that will debut this fall. Some looked terrible and a few seemed promising. This new trailer, however, should have everyone a bit more excited. J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Super 8) and Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men, Gravity) have teamed up for the first time and collaborated on NBC’s Believe, a hour-long sci-fi drama that centers on a wrongfully-imprisoned death row inmate (Jake McLaughlin) who is broken out of jail in order to protect a young girl (Johnny Sequoyah) with special abilities including levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature, and even predict the future.
The pilot was written and directed by Alfonso Cuaron, who serves as executive producer alongside J.J. Abrams.
Believe will premiere on NBC midseason. Watch the trailer below. Enjoy!

Gravity trailer goes ‘bong!’ as George Clooney and Sandra Bullock go flying George Clooney and Sandra Bullock become the victims of an unfortunate incident while watching the sun rise. Skin cancer? Nope. Do they get mugged? Nope. What happens then? As you can see in the Gravity trailer below, following a loud Bong, Bam, Boom! Clooney and Bullock quite literally go flying. Something — was it a meteorite? Intergalactic debris? — has collided against their spacecraft (or space shuttle or whatever). See, they’re watching the sun "rise" from way up there. Check out the Gravity trailer below. (Photo: George Clooney in Gravity movie.) Gravity trailer: 2001: A Space Odyssey Meets Lost in Space Meets Apollo 13? The Gravity trailer, or rather, teaser, provides quite bit of action with minimal dialogue. It’s impossible to tell what kind of relationship (veteran astronaut) George Clooney and (medical engineer and tyro astronaut) Sandra Bullock share. »

There are few events in the entertainment calendar as painfully glamorous as the Cannes Film Festival. A-List stars parading around a gorgeous, exotic location in dresses that cost the same as a down payment on a nice semi-detached in Chiswick - this is showbiz heaven, isn't it?
You'd think it impossible when surrounded with so much luxury to have a bad time, but sadly for some celebs their visit to the showcase was a right pain in the derrière, as the French call it. As the 66th festival kicked off last night (May 15) with a gloomy, rain-lashed premiere of The Great Gatsby, we take a moment to remember the stars who came home crying from Cannes.

Here's your latest casting news out of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival: Joel Edgerton (Warrior) will join Johnny Depp in the Barry Levinson crime thriller Black Mass about Boston kingpin Whitey Bulger. Chris Pine (Star Trek), Amanda Seyfried (Les Miserables) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Children of Men) have joined the Tobey Maguire production Z for Zacharia, directed by Craig Zobel (Compliance). Hit the jump for more on each casting announcement. Deadline reports that Edgerton has joined the cast of Black Mass as FBI agent and childhood pal of Bulger, John Connolly. Connolly was tasked with taking down the Italian mob and cooperated with Bulger, who acted as an FBI informant with the dual intention of getting the Feds to eliminate his own underworld competition. Connolly himself was eventually convicted of racketeering and obstruction of justice for aiding Bulger, along with second-degree murder charges stemming from leaked information to the mobsters. Deadline also reports that Pine, »

This weekend, Star Trek Into Darkness hits theaters and the common consensus among reviewers seems to be that Jj Abrams' adaptation of the beloved series is even better this time around. The thing we're most excited about, of course, is Zoe Saldana's return as a young Nyota Uhura. Apparently Saldana's role is much bigger this time around, which means the Star Trek sequel is a can't miss for us!
Of course, lesbian and bisexual women are not strangers to the world of science fiction. In fact, we often find better representation in the fantasy realm than in any other genre. And even when we don't find queer women to swoon over, we find powerful women to root for. »

Sandra Bullock and George Clooney finds themselves in space for this out of this world thriller by director Alfonso Cuaron. The first trailer for Gravity sets up quite a cliff hanger for the new sci-fi flick.
Sandra Bullock goes where she's never gone before--into space. Bullock's co-star George Clooney revisits the outer limits once again after the disastrous Steven Soderbergh's space drama Solaris in 2002. From Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron (Y Tu Mamá También, Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) comes an intriguing project that stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts sent into orbit literally when their space station breaks apart. The scene in the trailer sets up the accident which might send Bullock's Dr. Stone into orbit without a lifeline.
It's not clear what happens to Clooney's character,

The Fall TV Season presentations for all the new network shows take place this week with the first announced today. Here's a full breakdown of which concepts have made the final list over on NBC.
The Peacock did not have a good year. Only one of its new shows, "Revolution," was a true hit. Another, "Chicago Fire," got renewed by the skin of its teeth whilst the fate of a third, "Hannibal," remains uncertain.
None of last year's new comedies survived, neither did two mid-season dramas, which leaves the network with some big holes to fill. Three dramas and three comedies will debut in the Fall ahead of three more dramas and two comedies mid-season. Two further dramas and a comedy are presently unscheduled.
Several other pilots didn't make the final cut and won't become series including the high-profile Charlize Theron-produced drama about the Hatfields and McCoys, the Bruckheimer-produced »

The new fall season is closer than you think, and NBC has released their full schedule. Apart from reality favorites The Biggest Loser and The Voice, they are mixing things up quite a bit.
Take a look at a complete preview of the shows coming your way, and mark your calendars. It looks good for NBC this year, and while I’m not sure all of these look like winners, I think you’ll find at least a couple that you’re really going to like.

After a seven year hiatus, filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men) is set to return to the screen this year with his latest offering Gravity, and Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first official trailer for the hotly-anticipated sci-fi film.
Having been in development since 2010, Gravity stars Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side, The Proposal) and George Clooney (Up in the Air, The Descendants) as two astronauts who find themselves stranded in space after their shuttle is destroyed during a spacewalk. Check out the official synopsis, followed by the trailer below...
Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone--tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. »

"Gravity" is finally ready to take off after delays of almost a year. The two-hander, now due out Oct. 19, showcases Oscar champs Sandra Bullock ("The Blind Side") and George Clooney ("Syriana") as astronauts marooned in space. The just-released tense trailer includes the moment when their spacecraft is damaged, leaving them tethered to each other as they circle the earth. The Warner Bros. release marks a welcome return for Alfonso Cuaron who has not directed a film since "Children of Men" in 2006. That dire look at the future was a critical darling and reaped three Oscar nominations, including bids shared by Cuaron for Adapted Screenplay and Editing. He pulls triple duty on "Gravity" as well. Lenser Emmanuel Lubezki, who picked up the fourth of this five Oscar nominations for "Children of Men," reunites with the helmer here. Shooting 3-D films such as this has proven to be the way to win B. »

The trailer for director Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity" -- starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock -- has finally landed. This is Cuaron's first film since the 2006 dystopian sci-fi thriller "Children of Men," starring Clive Owen, Michael Caine and Julianne Moore, which at $76 million was too expensive to be profitable. "Gravity" began shooting in summer 2011 and though it was once thought that the film would have a 2012 release date, Warner Bros. withheld the film to complete VFX. Now, "Gravity" will hit theaters on October 4. In the film, Clooney and Bullock play scientists who, after their outer space mission goes awry, find themselves tethered to nothing but each other in the darkness of space. The film was shot by "Tree of Life" cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, and that name alone goes to show that this will be a very different kind of science fiction film, one no doubt with Kubrickian ambitions. View the new poster and trailer below. »

We delve into the recent first trailer for Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity, to find out what nuggets of information we can discover...
According to one version of history, Stanley Kubrick faked the 1969 Moon landings. The master of cinema used all the camera trickery and miniature effects he perfected in 1968's 2001: A Space Odyssey, the story goes, to fool billions of people into thinking they'd seen Neil Armstrong hop about on the lunar surface, when actually he was in a studio somewhere on Earth.
Although this theory has been comprehensively debunked (there's plenty of proof that Armstrong and other astronauts really did hop about on the Moon), that such a theory could even be taken seriously in the first place is a testament to the groundbreaking special effects work Stanley Kubrick and Douglas Trumbull brought to A Space Odyssey.
I mention this because the »
