16 May 2013 4:57 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

"The Vampire Diaries" finale is almost here and according to the stars of The CW's hit series, you won't be disappointed. Arielle Kebbel, who's recurred as Lexi since Season 1, returned in the penultimate episode, along with many other late supernatural characters on the series after Bonnie (Kat Graham) dropped the veil, leading virtually every hunter, vampire, werewolf, etc. who has died in the course of the series to return to Mystic Falls and seemingly, leaving Bonnie dead.

Though there have been plenty of tears shed -- amongst cast members and fans -- throughout the fourth season of "The Vampire Diaries," the finale will leave you smiling. "I think you guys are going to love it," Kebbel told The Huffington Post at The CW 2013 upfront red carpet on Thursday. "You'll be sad because it's over 'til next season, but I think you'll be very happy."

Special Features - Spartacus: Gods of the Small Screen

29 April 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Paul Risker looks at Starz's Spartacus and its place amongst the historical epics of the big and small screen...

By the time Steven S. DeKnight brought his vision of Spartacus: Blood and Sand to the small screen in January of 2010, the story of Spartacus’ revolt against the might of the Roman Empire and its legendary war machine had both been told and re-imagined.

The story was told none so famously as in Stanley Kubrick’s Spartacus (1960), and re-imagined forty years later in Ridley Scott’s Gladiator. To look beyond these two filmmakers, the story of Spartacus’ uprising and his part in the Third Servile War against the Republic has been an influential force on storytellers, spanning literature, film and television. In this latest incarnation DeKnight offers his take on this legendary, yet ambiguous figure. If the list of stories available to storytellers comprises a short list, then DeKnight was treading »

23 April 2013 1:38 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

Calm down, ladies. All right, ever since Universal Pictures and Focus Features announced their acquisition of 50 Shades of Grey from The Social Network producers Michael De Luca and Dana Brunetti, rumors have been swirling about possible directors line Angelina Jolie, leading men like Alexander Skarsgard and Ian Somerhalder and leading females like Emma Watson. None of those are anything but rumors at this point, but now some solid contenders have surfaced. The Wrap has learned that Good Will Hunting director Gus Van Sant shot a test scene for the film with Magic Mike star Alex Pettyfer in the lead. More below! Now Universal and Focus have said that there's no offer to Van Sant to direct the film, and they didn't even ask the director to shoot this test reel. This just seems to be something that Van Sant felt compelled to make, apparently because he wants the job that badly. »

Karlovy Vary Film Fest To Fete Oliver Stone

23 April 2013 4:11 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

London — The Czech Republic’s Karlovy Vary Film Festival is set to fete helmer-scribe Oliver Stone, who will receive the Crystal Globe for his contribution to world cinema. The event, which is Central and Eastern Europe’s most prestigious film fest, also revealed Tuesday that Polish director Agnieszka Holland will be head of its main jury.

Stone will attend Karlovy Vary, which runs June 28-July 6, to accept the award. The fest will screen Brian De Palma’s “Scarface,” for which Stone penned the screenplay, and a new director’s cut of Stone’s “Alexander.” Stone will also present two episodes from his docu series for Showtime “The Untold History of the United States,” which he co-wrote with Peter Kuznick.

Jiri Bartoska, the fest prexy, said: “Oliver Stone is a filmmaker who defies traditional assessment. He writes, directs and produces films that engage the entire filmmaking spectrum — from traditional stories to highly provocative movies, »

TV Reviews: Showtime’s ‘The Big C,’ ‘Nurse Jackie,’ ‘The Borgias’

12 April 2013 7:15 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

Although Showtime vaulted into rarefied air with its Emmy win for “Homeland,” the channel continues to offer a spate of shows that clearly have admirers and boast billboard-worthy stars but amount to utility players, failing to reach cable’s elite tier. Two of those, “Nurse Jackie” and “The Borgias,” return April 14, while “The Big C” has been granted the TV equivalent of a dignified death, with four hourlong episodes to conclude the series. A new showrunner hasn’t changed “Jackie” — worth recommending for Edie Falco and not much else — while “Borgias” proves that even papal intrigue and debauchery can grow tiresome.

So if there’s one worth discussing, it’s “The Big C: hereafter” — not because it works, but because the ways in which these episodes fall short illuminate how a promising premise can go wrong, squandering a provocative idea. Even so, credit Showtime with committing to this limited run, »
