The Drafthouse team chose the perfect personification of that rage, too: our favorite angry comedian Lewis Black ("Lewis Black's Root of All Evil"), who voices the character of Anger in the upcoming film "Inside Out." Disney and Pixar's newest feature follows the personified emotions inside the head of Riley and her parents as they move from the Midwest to the West Coast and adjust to a new life in San Francisco.

Sleepy Hollow, Season 2, Episode 18, “Tempus Fugit”
Written by Mark Goffman
Directed by Paul Edwards
Airs Mondays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
It’s hard to regard Sleepy Hollow’s second season as anything other than a disappointment. While it never crossed the threshold into being a bad show, what was once the most loopy and good-humored offering on broadcast television transformed into something that was frequently a chore to watch. There was no major single flaw in the series, but multiple bad decisions that were allowed to fester and detract from the things the show did well. Irving’s constantly wavering allegiances and relevance, the introduction of a character no one particularly liked in Hawley, a Moloch plan that lacked the complexity of earlier efforts, and pushing Katrina down a flight of misguided plots—all of these gave the feeling that Sleepy Hollow no longer had a steady hand behind the wheel,...

Sleepy Hollow, Season 2, Episode 17, “Awakening”
Written by M. Raven Metzner
Directed by Doug Aarniokoski
Airs Mondays at 9 pm (Et) on Fox
It’s difficult to pin down an episode like “Awakening,” because it’s an episode that keeps thwarting expectations. It sets itself up for twists and then abandons those twists in favor of new ones, offers up some fun alt-history that it offsets with bad characterization, and provides even more evidence of Sleepy Hollow fumbling in the dark yet snagging some brilliance in said fumbling. “Awakening” almost needs two reviews, one for what happens in the first three-quarters of the episode and one for what happens in the last ten minutes, because while the first part is bog standard season two Sleepy Hollow the second could potentially be the show’s most inspired move all year.
At first glance, “Awakening” appears to be in the same vein as “Root Of All Evil,...

Sleepy Hollow, Season 2, Episode 8, “Heartless”
Written by Albert Kim
Directed by David Boyd
Airs Mondays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
When Sleepy Hollow expanded from 13 to 18 episodes for its second season, it was simultaneously encouraging for everyone who wanted more of the show and discouraging for those who appreciated the condensed insanity of season one. One of the arguments frequently hurled at broadcast shows is that with a full season order writers have much more room to fill, and with rare exceptions—The Good Wife being an arguable example—it’s hard to maintain high-energy storytelling for 22 to 24 episodes. There’s been a few flickers of that in recent weeks, but “Heartless” is the first episode to feel entirely like a wash for the season. And more problematically, by producing a slower installment of the show it leaves more time to think about the series’ workings, a risky process on...

Hey Dead-heads, it’s Ryne from The Moon is a Dead World. It’s getting pretty crazy this time of year, with lots of horror TV additions. This week we add American Horror Story: Freak Show to the cast. I’ll be covering that, Resurrection, and Sleepy Hollow for now. Kevin‘s taking The Strain, and Stalker. Shawn’s got Supernatural, Gotham, and Z Nation.
Resurrection: “Echoes” - Sunday, October 5 at 9 Pm
Agent Bellamy found out he actually died last week on the premiere of Resurrection, and while that didn’t exactly have a profound effect, it did at least add a bit more to the stagnating premise of the show. There’s only so much returning one can take before it becomes annoying, and I feel like Resurrection has nearly hit that point.
The reason for that is simple: any time the show feels like it’s flagging, it...

Sleepy Hollow maintains its action-packed status quo this week with a pied piper tale. Here's Holly's review...
This review contains spoilers.
2.4 Go Where I Send Thee
Parts of this week’s Sleepy Hollow feel almost like a fever dream, and some parts just feel like pleasant drowsiness as we take a playful and sinister trip into the woods with the Pied Piper. Or, well, a Pied Piper, and one with a much more specific objective than the infamous one of Hamelin lore.
Ichabod, Abbie, Hawley, and Irving are our primary players for this go-round, and the episode is stronger for it. Of course, incarcerated Jenny’s absence is sadly felt, but returning Ichabod and Abbie to their original dynamic is nice - especially as we’re reminded that Ichabod is still very much not of this time. The opening of the episode is just splendid, as Ichabod practices his take-no-prisoners...

Sleepy Hollow, Season 2, Episode 4, “Go Where I Send Thee…”
Written by Damian Kindler
Directed by Doug Aarniokoski
Airs Mondays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
After a few weeks that were heavy on constructing the season’s arc, “Go Where I Send Thee…” is a more conventional—if such a term can ever be applied to this show—episode of Sleepy Hollow. The larger issue of Moloch’s grand scheme gives way to a monster-of-the-week approach, with the antagonist introduced and resolved by the end of the hour. There’s no sign of Katrina, Jenny, or Reyes; Moloch and the monstrous incarnations of the Horsemen are only alluded to or seen in visions; and Ichabod and Abbie’s conversation dwells more on cars and instruments than it does the foundation of their friendship. And encouragingly, this move doesn’t make the episode any less resonant or entertaining, a testament to how...

This review contains spoilers.
2.3 Root Of All Evil
One of my favourite things for any episode of a series to do is to pull off being both a satisfying self-contained story and an effective link in the overarching chain of its season. Sleepy Hollow gives us such an episode this week in an X-Files-via-National-Treasure instalment that probes the many different forms of trust and betrayal - and family.
Of course, most episodes of Sleepy Hollow invoke to a degree that X-Files-via-National-Treasure feel anyway. It says something about the show’s writing that this is an endearing strength rather than a derivative crutch. Somehow, even the most bonkers premise (both of the show itself and of individual storylines) is an easy buy-in, and its unfolding investigation is a natural investment.

Sleepy Hollow, Season 2, Episode 3, “Root Of All Evil”
Written by Melissa Blake and Donald Todd
Directed by Jeffrey Hunt
Airs Mondays at 9pm (Et) on Fox
It’s fairly obvious that to the Sleepy Hollow writers, the entire American Revolution is a bucket of plot hooks, which is why it’s surprising it’s taken them a season and change to find a reason to use Benedict Arnold. One of the war’s most notorious figures—as Fat Tony’s henchmen would say, the same Benedict Arnold who plotted to surrender West Point to the hated British—he’s a persona that even someone with a surface knowledge of American history could identify. And given Sleepy Hollow’s keen interest in the ideas of loyalty and betrayal, he’s a prime candidate to fit into the show’s narrative and prompt questions about whose side someone is on.
By that logic,...

Last week Ichabod and Abbie raised a Diy Frankenstein’s monster, Jenny got arrested, War got his law degree and became Captain Irving’s attorney and Katrina got to hold the “idiot ball,” opting to stay a prisoner of Headless to glean information about his plot with Moloch. So the “Root of all Evil” should obviously be good intentions gone wrong, as proved over and over by our heroes, but it probably has something to do with money. Let’s find out! ******* We open with the Horseman of War carving a miniature woodwork of Terrytown Psychiatric because even harbingers of the End of Days need a hobby. The tiny Terrytown replica transforms into the real deal and we join Ichabod and Abbie already inside. They’re here to see Captain Irving but Henry has thrown a wrench into their plan. It turns out that in his haste to not receive electroshock therapy,...

And you thought you had money problems.
This week’s Sleepy Hollow finds the town in the grips of a Henry-engineered plan to turn the good citizens against each other. The Horseman of War’s weapon of choice? A cursed coin with some historically bad mojo, as the Mills sisters learn firsthand.
The evil cash also brings into town a ray of hot, scruffy sunshine, and it sets up an hour that makes me want to become a full-fledged congregant of the Sisterhood of the Radiant Beharie — that’s how much leading lady Nicole shines during the ep.
But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt screened the first three episodes of his new Pivot television series, HitRECord on TV, at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday night. Gordon-Levitt has become a Sundance fixture, ever since he starred in Manic in 2001. His Internet production company, HitRECord—founded in 2005 to showcase videos Gordon-Levitt made in his free time—made its festival debut in 2009. “When we launched the third version of the site that my brother and I made together,” said Gordon-Levitt, whose older brother and creative partner, Dan, passed away in 2010, “we pushed the button here in the snow at Sundance 2009 on Jan. 20.”

Joker and geek pal Patton Oswalt has joined Stephen Sommer‘s supernatural flick Odd Thomas.
The film is an adaptation of Dean Koontz‘s mystery series about a short-order cook who can communicate with the dead. Starring Anton Yelchin and Addison Timlin (Californication) and Willem Dafoe, who is set to play police Chief Wyatt Porter who is experienced with the titular character’s (Yelchin) powers, who along with the love interest played by Timlin, is the only one party to this information. Oswalt will play an eccentric artist who designs sculptures including a steel pendant that the titular medium Thomas wears around his neck.
Production on Odd Thomas is scheduled to start next month somewhere in New Mexico.
If you have a television and basic cable there is a chance you have seen Patton Oswalt on TV. Possibly it was during his nine seasons on the sitcom King of Queens playing the role of Spence,...
