It’s been a tumultuous journey for Stephen King’s self-described magnum opus – The Dark Tower – to make it on to the big screen. After numerous delays and a disconcertingly rocky production, the film is finally hitting theaters this weekend. Although I was deeply concerned about what I was hearing about its troubled filming, those apprehensions were abated when I finally saw the film’s trailer: a pitch-perfect recreation of everything I could have ever hoped for with the film. Sure, it looked like they were adapting as many as the first three books into the one film, raising questions about

For the past few weeks we’ve been discussing the latest Tpb reprint of my Suicide Squad run at DC with me giving some of my thoughts about what went into the stories. One of the things I like about this volume is that it gives a nice variety – there’s a four-part story arc, a single-issue story, another four-parter, and then a two-parter.
This week we’re going to focus in on the second four-parter, The Jerusalem Serpent. The villain of the piece is named Kobra, a Jack Kirby creation. He’s the leader of a cult-like terrorist group and had bounced around the Dcu for a number of years. He was a made-to order bad guy for the Squad although I monkeyed with him a bit. In DC cosmology you had the Lords of Order and the Lords of Chaos (which, in itself, was patterned after the cosmology...

There’s a part of me that’s really rooting for Josh Hutcherson in Future Man. It’s mainly because if there’s going to be a casualty in the Hunger Games franchise it’s clearly Hutcherson. I have nothing against him but of all the stars in Hunger Games, you kind of knew that he’d be the guy getting the least work after the run was over. Now he’s giving TV a shot by starring in the Seth Rogen produced comedy Future Man which is set begin on Hulu.

The Vampire Diaries' final season has been as surprising as it has been memorable for its fans. Here's why...
Since The Vampire Diaries premiered back in September 2009, a lot have things have changed. TV has become unrecognisable. The CW has evolved far past its identity as a haven for teen romance and guilty pleasure soap opera to a haven for superheroes and critically acclaimed soap opera, and the vampire craze faded out along with True Blood and The Twilight Saga.

Not sure why I’m first hearing about Logan Lucky today but fortunately I am. Logan Lucky will star Channing Tatum and Adam Driver as two brothers who attempt to pull off a heist during a Nascar race. The film, currently in post-production will open wide Aug. 18. The cast also includes Riley Keough, Hilary Swank, Seth MacFarlane, Katie Holmes, and Daniel Craig along with Katherine Waterston, Dwight Yoakam, Sebastian Stan, David Denman, Macon Blair, Jack Quaid, and Brian Gleeson. The film is intended to be a comedy so hopefully we’ll get an Ocean’s Eleven vibe. But I have to say

I’m guessing that there’s a small percentage of people out there who want to see the Lifetime original movie Brittany Ever After. To those people I say have a great time with it. If there’s one thing you’re going to get with Lifetime movies it’s a ton of drama, acting that you’d see in the Soaps and a storyline that’s nearly as ludicrous as the Sharknado movies on Syfy. Nevertheless Lifetime is going ahead with Brittany Ever After even though we all know how terrible it’s going to be. In fact, I’m pretty sure they’re using the “so bad it’s

How do you fight the devil? That was the question for The Vampire Diaries' "You Made a Choice to Be Good," when Cade gave both Stefan and Damon ultimatums for their next victims. While Damon refused to do so, Stefan set out to kill Elena -- and Enzo paid the price in the process.

Poor Bonnie and Enzo.
On The Vampire Diaries Season 8 Episode 11 the couple most deserving of a happy ending had that robbed from them.
It was downright heartbreaking.
Throughout the last eight seasons, Bonnie has practically put her life on hold to do whatever she could to save her friends from whatever evil was lurking in the shadows.
Everyone who gets close to her seems to die, and sadly, Enzo suffered a horrible death that served as one of the most upsetting of the entire series.
Taking the cure would have been a beautiful move for Enzo. Seriously, Bonnie and Enzo did not owe their friends anything. They've been through so much that the mere thought of a happy ending for them was the least the writers could give them.
Yes, Stefan was under strict orders from Cade, but much like Damon, I don't think he's redeemable. How many people are...

Damon's humanity may be back on (and he's no longer stuck in his own mind), but that doesn't mean he's suddenly free from Cade and that deal on The Vampire Diaries.
In "You Made a Choice to Be Good," Cade presents the Salvatore brothers with additional assignments, each with unthinkable consequences. Caroline and Matt try to protect the town's residents from Cade's appetite for their souls. Meanwhile, Bonnie and Enzo take a trip with the bell to keep it safe.

Based on the classic manga by Osamu Tezuka, itself inspired by the homonymous, 1927 German silent film by Fritz Lang, and featuring a script by the anime legend Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira), direction by Tezuka’s collaborator, Rintaro (Astro Boy), and animation by Madhouse, “Metropolis” had all the tools for becoming a masterpiece. In that fashion, it succeeded to the fullest, taking advantage of its huge budget ($15 million) in the best way possible.
Metropolis is an industrial, tri-level city, where robots and humans co-exist, although the former are discriminated (they cannot even have a human name, resorting in codes to name themselves) and segregated to the lower levels. Duke Red is a paramilitary leader with ties to the government and a plan to create the most perfect robot of all, in the image of his deceased daughter, Tima. Furthermore, he has just erected a massive skyscraper called the Ziggurat, which he claims...

Image Source: Getty / Frazer Harrison Charlie Puth has done some incredible duets within the past two years, but his most recent collaboration might be his best yet. In celebration of National Bullying Prevention Month in October, the talented singer is partnering with CustomInk for its sixth annual Be Good to Each Other campaign. Popsugar recently had a chance to sit down with the star, and he told us all about his upcoming appearance on The Voice, which celebrities he thinks are making a positive change in Hollywood, and the one artist he would love to work with next. Popsugar: What drew you to this project? Charlie Puth: The phrase "Be Good to Each Other" is very important to me and something that I wish had been said more when I was in high school. Being unique, which is the design of my t-shirt, was kind of looked down upon.

Programming note: I'll be on vacation for the rest of this week, returning Sunday night to write about the Game of Thrones and Veep finales. My Silicon Valley finale review will also post that night, and a couple of things I wrote in advance (like my review of Showtime's Roadies) should publish in my absence. Even in a relatively slow time of year like this, though, that means some things will be missed. The Person of Interest series finale is tonight; I'll try to write very belatedly about it next week. Ask Alan is taking the week off, and I won't be writing about the fifth episode of Preacher. And if TV news breaks, someone else will have to fix it. Be good to each other while I'm gone.

We’re in for an absolute treat this week, with backstage shenanigans, outrageous in-ring promos, and a closing segment that has since gone down in Raw history.
I’m referring of course to the infamous in-ring confrontation between Steve Austin and Mike Tyson, billed as the “baddest” men in their respective fields. Tyson was a guest at the previous night’s pay-per-view, and declared himself a big fan of Stone Cold, but that all gets undone on tonight’s show.

When I first met you 6 years ago, I was intimidated by your size and your strong presence.

Likewise, Wilmer shared his thoughts in a lengthy post- “Yesterday, I said goodbye to my handsome boy Spawn, this year has been quite a roller coaster.. Lots of emotions and lots thresholds crossed. This boy was there for it all.. 8 years worth of memories and ups and downs.

As it turns out, there is such a thing as too much Dancing With the Stars, as evidenced by Tuesday’s episode.
Unlike most Tuesday installments of the ABC reality staple, this particular broadcast wasn’t just a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am results show. Rather, it was another 120 minutes of “Hometown Glory”-inspired routines, which seemed to leave the contestants, the judges and even the hosts utterly exhausted.

Rather, it was another 120 minutes of “Hometown Glory”-inspired routines, which seemed to leave the contestants, the judges and even the hosts utterly exhausted.

The Cannes Film festival was an exceptional edition for French films this year. A focus on the rising generation of French actors and directors that have been highlighted in Cannes and will most certainly be the stars of tomorrow was compiled by Unifrance chief Isabelle Giordano.
They are a force to be reckoned with. Unifrance films is ready to bet that you will certainly hear about these ten talented people. They represent the French cinema of today and will soon be on the screens worldwide.
Emmanuelle Bercot
An actress and a director, Emmanuelle Bercot began by enrolling at the Cours Florent drama school and taking dancing lessons after her baccalaureate. She graduated from Femis in 1998, after winning the Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Festival for her short film "Les Vacances," in 1997. After her first few roles in the films of Jean-François Richet and Michel Deville, her career as an actress took off when Claude Miller gave her one of the main roles in "La Classe de neige" (1998). The following year, she made the headlines with the medium-length film she directed called "La Puce," presented in the selection of Un Certain Regard at Cannes. This film tells of the love affair between a 35-year-old man and a 14-year-old girl, played by Isild Le Besco.
Her first feature-length film, "Clément" (2001), is about the life of a troubled woman who has one adventure after another with various men until she meets a 14-yearold boy. Her second film, "Backstage" (2004), continues to explore teenage angst through a relationship between a hit singer and a young obsessional fan. She earned her first critical and public acclaim with "On My Way" (2013), the third film written by the director for Catherine Deneuve, in which the star plays a woman who has decided to leave everything behind and hit the road in France.
She was indisputably the most talked about person during the Cannes Film Festival 2015, both as an actress and a director. Thierry Frémaux surprised everyone by announcing that "Standing Tall," Emmanuelle Bercot’s fourth feature-length film would open the 68th Cannes Film Festival. Emmanuelle Bercot says that she has rediscovered the social fiber of her beginnings with this tale of juvenile delinquency. After the enthusiastic and unanimous reception of her film, she won the Best Actress Award for her role as a woman under the influence of love in the film "Mon Roi" by Maïwenn, with whom she co-wrote the script for "Polisse," which won the Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012
Thomas Bidegain
Thomas Bidegain may well be one of the best known French screenwriters in the profession today, but it took him ten years to achieve this status. His career path in film is anything but ordinary. He started out in the 1990s by distributing and producing independent American films: "Ice Storm" by Ang Lee and "Chasing Sleep" by Michael Walker. He came back to France and joined MK2 where he became director of distribution. In 1999, he returned to production for "Why Not." In 2007, he told the story of his attempt to stop smoking in "Arrêter de fumer tue," a personal diary that was turned into a documentary, then a book.
In the meantime, he began screenwriting and worked on several projects. In 2009, he wrote the screenplay for Jacques Audiard’s film, "A Prophet," alongside Nicolas Peufaillit and Abdel Raouf Dafri, which won the Grand Prix du Jury in 2009. He participated in Audiard’s next film, "Rust and Bone" and "Our Children" by Joachim Lafosse. He was also the co-writer for "Saint Laurent" by Bertrand Bonello. Winning a César for the best original script and a César for the best adaptation, he presented "Cowboys" at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs in Cannes this year, his first film as a director. He is also co-writer of "Ni le ciel ni la terre" by Clément Cogitore, presented during the Semaine de la Critique, as well as co-writer of the script for Jacques Audiard’s latest film, "Dheepan," which won the Palme d’Or.

After she graduated from art school in 2004, she radically changed direction and became a presenter on cable TV. She was Miss Météo in Le Grand Journal on Canal + from 2006 to 2008. Her slot became essential viewing and attracted a wide audience, including the attention of the film industry.
She began her acting career in "The Girl from Monaco" by Anne Fontaine, and her performance earned her a César nomination for Most Promising Actress. This recognition led to a whole series of roles and launched her career in film. She headed the bill of several films in 2010 ("White as Snow" by Christophe Blanc, "Sweet Valentine" by Emma Luchini, and "Black Heaven" by Gilles Marchand). The same year, Luc Besson selected her for the leading role in "The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec."

A filmography rich of 30 films for an actress who isn’t 30 years old yet. In 2014, the press talked about the blooming of Anaïs Demoustier because her face and poise became essential to cinema. Present in "Bird People" by Pascale Ferran, "Caprices" by Emmanuel Mouret, "À trois on y va" by Jérôme Bonnell and "The New Girlfriend" by François Ozon, she is Marguerite in the last Valérie Donzelli’s film, "Marguerite et Julien" screened in Official selection in Cannes.

After setting up a company combining dance and theater, Ariane Labed returned to live in Greece where she played at the National Theater of Athens. 2010 was the year of her first film, "Attenberg," directed by Athiná-Rachél Tsangári. "Alps" by Yorgos Lanthi-mos, the following year, confirmed the talent of this strangely charming actress. Two years later, she starred in "Before Midnight" by Richard Linklater where she played the role of Anna.

His free adaptations of the great classics of literature and drama earned him public and critical acclaim. He directed "The Idiot" by Dostoïevski and presented "Au moins j’aurai laissé un beau cadavre in Avignon," inspired by Hamlet. He also rapidly made a name for himself in demanding art-house films. In 2001, he was seen for the first time in "Replay" by Catherine Corsini. In 2007, he starred in "On War" by Bertrand Bonello and in 2010, in "A Burning Hot Summer" by Philippe Garrel.

In 2011, he directed "What We’ll Leave Behind," a very well-received medium-length film which won the Grand Prix at the Clermont-Ferrand Festival. He also starred in Mia Hansen-løve’s 2014 film "Eden."

The 29-year-old actress has established her physical and poetic presence in French art-house films. She began her career in film with Albert Dupontel in "Enfermés dehors" in 2006. She then starred in "Eden Log" by Franck Vestiel in 2007, then in "Granny’s Funeral" by Bruno Podalydès in 2012.

For "Magic Paris," she was awarded the jury prize at the St. Petersburg International Documentary, Short Film and Animated Film Festival.
She continued her career by writing the script for the film "Ordinary," by Vladimir Perisic. At the Cannes Film Festival 2012, Alice Winocour made a marked entry in the international arena with a film by a woman about women and the unchanging way of looking at them.

At the Cannes Film Festival 2012, Alice Winocour made a marked entry in the international arena with a film by a woman about women and the unchanging way of looking at them. In the film "Augustine," we are told the story of a professor and his patient, played by Vincent Lindon and Soko respectively. In 2015, she brought out her second feature-length film, "Maryland," which was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 68th Cannes Film Festival. She is also the co-writer of "Mustang," by Denis Gamze Ergüven, presented at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs.

African-American film 'Bert Williams: Lime Kiln Club Field Day.' With Williams and Odessa Warren Grey.* Rare, early 20th-century African-American film among San Francisco Silent Film Festival highlights Directed by Edwin Middleton and T. Hayes Hunter, the Biograph Company's Lime Kiln Club Field Day (1913) was the film I most looked forward to at the 2015 edition of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. One hundred years old, unfinished, and destined to be scrapped and tossed into the dust bin, it rose from the ashes. Starring entertainer Bert Williams – whose film appearances have virtually disappeared, but whose legacy lives on – Lime Kiln Club Field Day has become a rare example of African-American life in the first years of the 20th century. In the introduction to the film, the audience was treated to a treasure trove of Black memorabilia: sheet music, stills, promotional material, and newspaper clippings that survive. Details of the...

Avengers: Age of Ultron
Written & Directed by Joss Whedon
USA, 2015
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. The Avengers clicked with both Marvel fans and general audiences because we loved watching these massive egos clash for the first time. It was the perfect blend of action and attitude, and its mastermind, Joss Whedon, was handed the golden ticket to Marvel’s keystone franchise. The long-awaited sequel, Avengers: Age of Ultron, shows the strain of trying to be bigger-and-better while still indulging the subtle pleasures of its predecessor. It succeeds, just barely, on the strength of a talented cast and our fondness for these characters. Still, it’s a decidedly somber affair that will turn off casual fans, and it stands as the most impersonal, and arguable weakest installment of Marvel’s vaunted “Phase Two.”
Perhaps Avengers: Age of Ultron was destined to let us down. Not...

In the beginning, and to the very end, Justified was about two guys who once dug coal together.
The FX drama on Tuesday night wrapped its six-season run with, of course, much gunplay, a couple more deaths, a few happy (or happy-ish) endings, a significant time jump and a wee surprise.

With not even a protruding bat ear or a flowing red cape to be seen in anticipation for the release of Warner Bros. next big DC film, we’ve got a surprise from director, Zack Snyder, who caused some waves this morning by tweeting the first fresh look at Jason Mamoa as Arthur Curry aka Aquaman.
The water loving warrior and ‘one true king’ will be making (we’re guessing) a brief appearance in the upcoming super showdown Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, where he’ll no doubt be kicking off about us putting something in the water that we really shouldn’t, right before he lets a shark eat someone.
Naturally as with the reveal of any character from the DC camp, it’s splitting fans right down the middle.
Zack Snyder tweeted “There is only one true King. #unitetheseven”

Sometimes — and I mean this in a good way — the Encores! series at City Center seems like the musical equivalent of A Night at the Museum, making the dinosaurs dance. That’s certainly the case with its delightful 22nd-season opener, Lady, Be Good!, the 1924 comedy that featured George and Ira Gershwin’s debut score on Broadway. (Working alone or as a team, the brothers had contributed individual songs to shows since 1918.) True, the bones of Lady, Be Good! are so creaky, they must be held up with strings, but the mounting, and the superb restoration where needed, let you see something fascinating that would hardly be visible otherwise: how the American musical grew into itself.Were it not for that, it’s hard to argue that a relic like Lady, Be Good! would be worth the enormous effort Encores! put into it, including a nearly complete new orchestration and the...

Saturday afternoon, the National Society of Film Critics, "made up of many of the country’s most distinguished movie critics," announced the winners of its annual "Best of" vote. Critical darlings came out on top, with Jean-Luc Godard’s 3-D film "Goodbye to Language" prevailing in the Best Picture category. The Nsfc’s picks offer a selection of Oscar sure-things and outsider alternatives. After debuting at Cannes, "Goodbye to Language" trickled in to a few American theaters. Without any Best Foreign Language Film representation (France went with "Saint Laurent"), the film was destined for place on the fringes of the season. Leave it to Nsfc to come through for art. On top of Best Picture, Godard’s film earned love in the Director and Cinematography categories. With Patricia Arquette and J.K. Simmons picking up their 18,000th Supporting Actor wins, Timothy Spall, under-lauded for his work in "Mr. Turner," won Best Actor.
