It was the worst-ever terror attack on British soil and the first major one on US citizens,” reads BBC and Netflix’s synopsis. “Lockerbie will focus...

If one is in the mood for an indie thriller that gives off the vibe of a B-movie, then one might consider watching Roadkill, which is the new film by Warren Fast. The story is pretty simple, but Fast tries very hard to lend the film some thematic depth, which just isn’t possible with the kind of story he is trying to tell. For whatever it’s worth, the movie is unintentionally funny in a lot of places, and you can have a good time just admiring the effort the crew must have put into making this film. Although I must say that if the budget was a little better, this could have looked way better than it does. There is no intent to save on shoe leather in the film, which makes this drag a little more than it should have.

Roadkill opens with a boy (Brody Barcellona; When Sharks Attack) getting some food from a refrigerator and sharing it with a cute dog. That doesn’t sit well with his mother who chases the boy back to the dog house where he lives telling him “That’s gonna cost you”. In the morning we see just what it cost as he wakes to his mother giggling over the dog with several butcher knives sticking out of it.
The film moves forward to the summer of 1983 and the boy has grown and is now a drifter referred to in the credits as The Hitchhiker. He crosses paths with The Driver, a young woman with a big muscle car who offers him a ride in return for directions...

Peacock’s “Twisted Metal” is more than a dystopian series about bloodthirsty cars trying to blow each other up into smithereens. But for the show that switches gears between complete chaos and edgy rom-com, the infamous vehicles adapted from the popular video game franchise had to be characters of their own. Creating them was a balance in aesthetics, practicality, safety, and of course, budget — an assembly line of challenges faced by production designer Victoria Paul and picture car coordinator Ty Guidroz.
The tight-knit collaborators curated over a dozen principal vehicles for the show that follows a charming motormouth “milkman” named John Doe (Anthony Mackie) as he makes a long-haul delivery that could forever change his life. Key builds included an armor-spiked Camaro named Roadkill, a menacing police cruiser dubbed Outlaw, a rumbling big rig convoy, and an ice cream truck driven by the game’s most iconic character, Sweet Teeth,...

Of all the video games to make a TV show out of, Peacock made a hell of a choice with Twisted Metal. Once a thriving franchise and synonymous with Sony’s various consoles, the series has been silent for eleven years after the ill-fated PlayStation 3 reboot. While the direction of making the show a comedic and colorful American take on Mad Max is an interesting choice, it’s not like it’s an especially easy series of games to be faithful to. With eight titles to its name and one canceled release, Twisted Metal’s continuity is as mucked up as the Halloween movies. There have been several sequels, a sequel that retconned away previous sequels, a kid-based reimagining, a reboot, and another reboot that turned out to be a stealth sequel to the original games. It’s all very confusing.

She is set to reprise her role as the prime minister in a new series of the hit Scandi drama, but the actor is just as excited to share the limelight in David Hare’s new BBC thriller, Roadkill
Sidse Babett Knudsen had an ulterior motive for joining the cast of BBC One’s new political thriller Roadkill, playing the mistress of Hugh Laurie’s ambitious Conservative minister. Sure, she is a fan of Roadkill’s writer, David Hare (whom she describes as “one of the gods”); in her theatre group days, she would regularly make the trip from Copenhagen to London to see his plays at the Royal Court. But that’s far from the whole story. “One of my favourite shows of all time is Veep, and Selina Meyer’s obsession with Hugh Laurie’s character is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen,” she says.
