[Warning: The below contains spoilers from The Ark’s Season 1 finale Everybody Wins.] To say the crew of Ark One has been through some stuff since their unexpected early wake-up call is an understatement. We’re talking about a lack of supplies, mechanical issues, asteroids, attempted coups and mutinies, murders, and mysterious illnesses. Out of catastrophe and immeasurable loss, friendships and romantic relationships were severed and formed. Set 100 years in the future, The Ark sees a colonization mission to save the human race go awry. Leadership aboard Ark One perished from a disastrous breach in their chamber. Awaking prematurely from their cryo-pods, lieutenants Sharon Garnet (Christie Burke), Spencer Lane (Reece Ritchie), James Brice (Richard Fleeshaman), and Felix Strickland (Pavle Jerinić) must find a way to ensure their remaining crew’s survival. By the finale, Garnet had taken on the role of captain with things seemingly moving in the right direction after a deal was brokered with...

This is a sad day for me. We are losing a president with curiosity and interest in people different from himself to one who might not be able to read at all.
Yes, I’m that kind of elitist. I prefer to admire (and, if possible, hang out with) people with imaginations, people who like to be challenged, people who appreciate the arts. All the evidence (this, for example) suggests that our newly installed Commander-in-Chief has no such interests.
Tough times, such as those I imagine to be ahead of us, can be opportunities for great art. The 1960s, with its civil rights marches, police riots and unjust wars, brought us brilliant music, film, theater, dance and literature, even comics. It is the responsibility of the artist to make us question our perceptions, and the best do this in a way that lasts well beyond the topical concerns of their times.

I'm just going to come right out with it:
I think a Van Helsing film series is a brilliant concept.
That said, I don't have faith in anyone getting it right after that unruly mess of a Hugh Jackman movie in 2004. I think the concept is fantastic, though. You have a main character- a monster hunter (!!!)- that can, essentially, navigate his way throughout an entire shared, cinematic universe. And the universe he lives in is inhabited by legendary monsters like Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Invisible Man, Frankenstein, and The Mummy! And one of the things that made those monsters legendary was the mystique surrounding them, and the way they could be used sparingly to create maximum tension and anticipation. Therefore, the idea of making the star of those movies a single, human protagonist means you don't have to over-expose your famous beasts!

New mystery thriller Wayward Pines feat. Matt Dillon arrives today on Fox. Here are a few reasons you might want to watch it...
“Welcome to Wayward Pines, where paradise is home”.
The louder a fictional small town shouts about being heaven on Earth, the higher the probability that it is in fact, an axis of evil. As a rule, if the town sign features a beaming family and a cheery slogan, you’ll be lucky to make it to sundown without being kidnapped, cannibalised or having your severed spine used as a xylophone in the local middle school’s ossuary orchestra.

It’s funny that this week’s installment of The Good Wife makes multiple references to Spider-Man (and its head-scratching number of reboots). Because as Alicia Florrick so cruelly learns, it can be a silly and treacherous thing to place one’s fate in a white knight upon a fiery steed.

There are two types of Nicholas Sparks adaptations. The first is much more common, being the boring, sappy romances where love is the most powerful force in the world and people cry and die (i.e. The Notebook). The second is the stupid, cuckoo bananas romance, terribly pulling in other genre elements to make a hodgepodge bit of nonsense (i.e. Safe Haven). The second is so much more fun to watch, and anytime I start a Sparks film I am hoping for that film. Unfortunately, The Longest Ride, the most recent Sparks adaptation, falls into the first category, and it made me fall in love... with my watch (nailed it!). In the ancient past of 2007, Britt Robertson, whose character's name escapes me (an IMDb search reveals it's Sophia Danko) and it was all I could to do remember she was "not Jennifer Lawrence", is studying art at Wake Forest.

You'd think people would be happy with the finale this past Sunday of HBO's docu-series "The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst," Not only did the six-episode true-crime drama end with the kind of neat apparent-confession that real life seldom drops into the laps of journalists, but the episode was preceded by less than 24 hours by the actual arrest of its subject on a murder charge related to the crimes discussed on the show. Viewers got a bang-up ending, and the victims' families finally get to see the alleged killer face a court of law. Everybody wins, right?
And yet, there's been nothing but handwringing over the ethical questions raised by the conduct of filmmakers Andrew Jarecki and Marc Smerling and the fortuitous timing of the arrest. Jarecki and Smerling taped Durst's seemingly self-incriminating remarks ("What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.") during a 2012 interview,...

All hell is breaking loose -- again!
After last week's visually stunning, and darkly manipulative episode, we're now left with a Vampire Diaries first: Both Caroline (Candice Accola) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) have embraced their blood-thirsty and emotionless sides, and they're a potentially deadly combination for Mystic Falls trouble.
Luckily, it appears that Damon (Ian Somerhalder) has the perfect plan to flip their humanity switches – and only ETonline has your exclusive sneak peek.
News: Ian Somerhalder’s Brilliant Directorial Debut Will Leave You Speechless!
"We need Kai to get to 1903, and we need Bennett blood to do the damn spell," Damon explains to an extremely pissed-off Bonnie (Kat Graham). "Listen, we do in, we grab my mom, she flips Stefan's switch, he triggers Caroline. Emotional dominoes — Yay! Everybody wins."
But will Damon's seemingly perfect plan work on the first try? Of course not – this is Tvd, people! But it will certainly make for some amazing entertainment to watch...

Found under the ice of Fortitude by Dci Morton, The Mid-Season Replacements return with a two-part episode originally thought lost to the gods of podcasting. Two episodes thought vanished, have survived the extreme weather of the Northeast, and have finally arrive, in the form of The Mid-Season Replacement’s Great Lost Mega-Sode!
Part I of the Mega-Sode (henceforth known as “Episode 14″) takes us back to the elder days of February 2015, hours after the NBA trade deadline, which has Randy and Sean reacting in real time to. They also dig into the then-recent (but still painful) cancellation of Ground Floor, talk about Banshee, Fresh Off The Boat‘s racial undertones, and other shows like Schitt’s Creek, NBC’s failed 2010 sitcom Friends with Benefits, and the delay of Hannibal.
Episode 15 (or “Part II”, if you want to be fancy) is a relic from March 5th, 2015, when the guys had just seen...

It’s testament to the strength of Marvel’s name that “There’s a new Spider-Man reboot” has been treated as something akin to the second coming. In case you haven’t heard, Spider-Man is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, paying off months of speculation following the disappointment of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and those leaked Sony emails.
Now there’s no denying that this is a pretty cool development. Spider-Man is one of the most iconic superheroes ever created and there’s no franchise bigger than the McU. It’s certainly great news for Sony, who have been flailing wildly with the series since Spider-Man 3, and promises fans a truly faithful representation if Peter Parker. Everybody wins.
Well, almost everyone. The one party in this whole deal you feel is getting short-changed is Marvel. They’re already running massive series which really doesn’t need Spider-Man,...

If you pull a loose thread on a piece of clothing, the entire thing can unravel in minutes. And on Tuesday’s episode of Sons of Anarchy, Gemma found that to be true for more than just a fall sweater.
Indeed, the numerous lies that Gemma has told to save her own behind this season began to blow up in her face, leading her to a vulnerable place that we haven’t seen Mama Teller go to in a long time (and I’m not just talking about those 12 miles she walked in spiked boots).

Cheers’ Rhea Perlman as Danny’s mother, Annette, ladies and gentlemen! Sometime in the ’90s — I’m thinking that Friends really popularized this, though other shows did it to varying degrees before that — all sitcom characters started getting parents played by big names of the past, usually from sitcom history. It’s become a kind of TV parlor game: Who will play so-and-so’s mom or dad, whenever he or she eventually shows up? To be clear, I’m not complaining: It means we get to see masters of the form, and it provides a nice little post-massive-fame, pre-retirement income stream for sitcom vets. Everybody wins. And! Fun fact from sitcom history: Dan Hedaya, who plays Danny’s dad, also played Nick Tortelli, the slovenly ex-husband of Perlman’s Carla, on Cheers. She is particularly welcome in this case, as Danny’s Staten Island single mom shows up at Danny...

Ah, the summer of 2014: It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times. Though mostly, let’s face it, it was the worst. Yet even as horrific violence and heartbreakingly premature deaths and hemorrhagic fevers have marred the past few months, there have also been a few spots of levity. And most are thanks to butts.
True, the humble hiney is no stranger to celebration, especially when it’s warm outside. (You may, however, be shocked to learn that Sisquo’s “Thong Song” was actually released in January.) But this summer went above and beyond, prominently featuring ladies’ posteriors in movies,...

Let’s blow up some stereotypes.
There is a popular and enduring image of what a “gamer” looks like: mostly male, mostly juvenile, mostly white. That image is false, and has been for a long time now.
According to a survey from the Entertainment Software Association, there are significantly more adult women playing video games than adolescent males—just like there were last year. Why does this matter? Because the “gamer culture” propagated by industry marketing and perpetuated elsewhere does not reflect reality, and it has created an environment that is unwelcoming to anyone who does not fit this “norm.

According to the New York Times, PBS is adding a shorter, half-hour version of Sesame Street to its lineup. While the hour-long version will continue to air in the mornings, starting September 1st, there will also be a shorter episode airing in the afternoon block. Select half-hour episodes will also stream on PBS's website, mobile app, and Roku channel. PBS's general manager of children’s programming Lesli Rotenberg explains that the condensed episodes are designed to appeal specifically to mobile viewers ("The hour-long show didn’t lend itself as well to that," she says) while also targeting kids' short attention spans. Meanwhile, those kids with extra long attention spans and the ability to delay gratification will have a bonus half hour to add to their Sesame binge-watching queue each day. Everybody wins!

Every episode of "Naked and Afraid" is tough, but this week's may be the most hellacious I remember seeing that didn't involve a medical intervention. The worst part, though, is that so many of the obstacles Jeff and Eva face are of their own making. Actually, most of them are of Jeff's making, but we'll get into that in a moment. Jeff and Eva are not what you would call a natural pairing. Jeff is a devout Mormon from Idaho and loves to climb stuff. He's also a hunter and feels animals are meant to be "used." He wants to fight Mother Nature and beat her. Eva, on the other hand, wants to go to a commune with Mother Nature and feed her cookies. This is going to be awesome! When they both prepare to meet in their resplendent nakedness, Jeff worries he's going to have to let his new pal down easy.

NBC has found its Rosemary for the network's upcoming 4-hour redux of Rosemary's Baby! The always wonderful Zoe Saldana has signed up for birthing duties, much to the chagrin of racist morons who will no doubt complain that Rosemary was originally Caucasian!
Actually, given the fact that Rosemary's Baby was originally a book, Rosemary was black and white! See? Everybody wins!
According to Variety, Saldana will play Rosemary, the iconic young wife and would-be mother who, with her husband, moves into a Paris apartment that has a darkly storied past. After finally getting pregnant, she becomes increasingly suspicious that both her husband and their mysterious neighbors have ulterior motives about the future of her child.
NBC announced the “Rosemary’s Baby” mini in December with Lionsgate TV attached to produce. The project is based on Ira Levin’s 1967 horror novel and is being penned by Scott Abbott and James Wong.

[Los Angeles Times] Despite being a part of a news team in Anchorman 2, it seems like Steve Carell is a little wary of the media.
Julia Roberts is a huge fan of TV’s reality stars, but not necessarily because she loves guilty pleasures. The actress feels like there’s less of a tabloid focus on her personal life, mostly due to the fact that the likes of the Kardashians have taken over. Everybody wins!

Review Kylie Peters 25 Oct 2013 - 07:03
Kylie notes a marked improvement in this week's episode of Once Upon A Time In Wonderland...
This review contains spoilers.
1.3 Forget Me Not
A little mystery goes a long way. Once Upon a Time in Wonderland proves that in an episode that ramps up the interest level by supplementing its straightforward adventure/romance plot with a tantalizing set of flashbacks about the Knave of Hearts.
In Wonderland, Alice and the Knave face Grendel from the classic saga Beowulf. Grendel possesses a clever contraption called the Forget-Me-Knot (I’m assuming that’s how it’s spelled?). It’s a rope that, when tied in a loop and looked through, shows whatever happened last in that particular spot. Some logic issues aside (what constitutes “the last thing that happened?” Does a branch falling count? A mosquito flying by? Does this mean Grendel never walked through that...

Cheaters never prosper, or so they say. And if they do, they’re probably biblical moralists or writers of film noir, the kind where desperate saps with immoral get-rich schemes get punished for their transgressive ambition one way or another, sooner or later. Double Indemnity. No Country for Old Men. And Breaking Bad, the extraordinary, many-things-at-once, neo-noir, desert-western, dark-comedy serial created by Vince Gilligan, which came to an end Sunday night. For five seasons, this bold and cold AMC series chronicled the downfall of a dying, dead-on-the-inside Everyman who sold out his principles (such as they were) to feel alive...

What's not to love? The awful production values, the silly one-liners, and the great mockery of it all on the internet
Sharknado, pundemic on Twitter, has restored the B-movie back to its rightful place in American life: cult summer blockbuster and universal inside joke. To join in you don't need a TV or even to have seen the movie. You only must appreciate absurdity (and tolerate portmanteaus:
As the nation laughed the night away at Sharknado, none could have predicted the looming Crabquake.

In case the title left anything to doubt, a quick summary of the film: a tornado spews sharks into Los Angeles. One lands in Tara Reid's pool, another bounces off a barstool. Helicopters throw bombs at the weather. A character named 'Fin', played by a Chippendales dancer, leaps into the open jaws of a projectile Great White and chainsaws his way out of its rubber belly,...

From Being John Malkovich to Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Trip, actors increasingly find it liberating, even therapeutic, to play a version of themselves. This is the End is the latest film to mess around with movie star personas
The new comedy This is the End is less notable for its vision of Hollywood hit by the apocalypse than for the conceit of having its entire cast play themselves. It turns out that Jonah Hill is a prissy buffoon given to harping on about his Oscar nomination. Sweet, gentle Michael Cera is in fact a leering, cocaine-snorting lout who has toilet-stall threesomes with anyone who will oblige. Seth Rogen likes weed. And who on earth would have suspected that James Franco is gay?
Only the most credulous audience members will believe that the cast of This is the End are doing anything except performing, but there is still the tantalising...

Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul return in their Emmy-winning roles of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. With Gus Fring dead, Walt’s transformation from a well-meaning family man to ruthless drug kingpin is nearly complete. When he begins to make a killing in the meth business, his murderous schemes are threatened by a new investigation led by his relentless brother-in-law Hank (Dean Norris). Executive produced by Vince Gilligan and Mark Johnson, the fifth season charts the murderous rise of Walter White as he reaches new highs…and new lows.

Stars: Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Rj Mitte | Written by Vince Gilligan | Directed by Michael Slovis
“I won.”
And with those words, uttered with a grotesque smugness, shows us just how far Walter White has come. Those words, so simple and yet, full of weight, tell us everything about this man. A man who...

Star Trek Into Darkness premieres this Friday so Graham and Ryan have graciously allowed me to turn this into Star Trek Week!
Perhaps “allowed” isn’t the right word. Maybe “I didn’t ask them at all and they don’t know anything about it” would be better.
So starting on Monday I’ll begin posting my top ten favourite Star Trek episodes from each series. So get ready for The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise!
I’m sure my fellow Trekkies will find this fun and I hope you’ll let us know Your favourite episodes as well! For those of you who aren’t Trekkies…well…you should read these articles anyway and laugh about what a geek I am. Everybody wins!

Video games need villains, almost more than they need heroes. And villains need henchmen. Far too long have the henchmen been cast aside in order for their bosses to reap all the benefits of celebrity — but no more! I say it’s long overdue for some of video game history’s best henchmen to grab hold of the spotlight for once. I have thus decided to compile a list containing ten of the very best henchmen in gaming history.
But what makes a good henchman? For most it’s subservience but for others it’s something more. It’s a desire to one day be the boss on their own, one day. A patience to wait for the right moment and let their light shine. And for others it’s nothing more than being the hardest motherf!@#$r in the game.
I’ll promise you two things. First, this list will be diverse.
