Our friends in Monterey continue striving to make a difference and keep their heads above water. It's working better for some than others.
With Big Little Lies Season 1 Episode 4, the tension is ratcheted up a bit as things move relatively slow, but by doing so reveal more kinks in the armor of every character.
Saving Avenue Q, a dinner proposed by Bonnie to help in the parental transition of raising Abigail, and Ziggy's continuing problems in first grade were the catalysts to action during "Push Comes to Shove."
It shouldn't have come as much of a shock that Madeline had an affair with Joseph in the past, but that she'd be willing to step into it and egg him on again is a bit disappointing.
Ed already has issued worrying over Nathan being the one, and here we have Madeline stepping out on Ed.

Things really got going on tonight's Big Little Lies, and we learned a lot about the moms, dads, and even the mayor of Monterey as we get closer and closer to the fateful trivia night. In particular, we started to see a lot of people's true colors. Some of those colors are a little wonky, and others are a lot brighter than we might have previously thought. Everybody's still a mess and we still don't know what goes down on trivia night, but "Push Comes to Shove" was possibly the most revealing episode yet. Here's what we learned: 1. Ed (Adam Scott) is into cosplay. He doesn't just like dressing up as Elvis for the Elvis/Audrey Hepburn trivia night. He likes costumes all the...

Chicago – Whether it’s the 1982 original or the remake just released in theaters today to the wrath of numerous fans, the lesson of “Poltergeist” remains the same: Don’t do a half-assed job when relocating skeletons for corporate greed, or suffer the supernatural consequences.
Fear not, however, as this is one remake that doesn’t just dress up a nostalgic skeleton for the modern horror crowd, but one that reminisces, and looks forward, with a mostly intelligent, genuine heart.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
Produced by Sam Raimi and crediting its story to the one made Steven Spielberg, this remake of the 1982 Tobe Hooper film involves a new family, the Bowens, as they move into a house with its own bad mojo. There’s a weird electric air in their new home, which husband Eric (Sam Rockwell) and wife Amy (Rosemarie DeWitt) have brought young Madison (Kennedi Clements), son Griffin (Kyle Catlett), and older daughter Kendra (Saxon Sharbino) into.

Here’s a first look at the new trailer and poster for Cheatin,’ the award-winning, surreal animated adult tale of love, jealousy, revenge, and murder.
Inspired by the work of James M. Cain (“Double Indemnity”, “The Postman Always Rings Twice”), Cheatin’ marks Academy Award nominated Bill Plympton’s seventh animated feature film.
The film screened at the St. Louis International Film Festival in November 2014. In his Sliff review, Jim Batts called the film, “a wonderful, imaginative featuree animated film,” adding Plympton is, “at the zenith of his artistic powers here, with a long-form film that captures all of the charm of his quirky shorts.”
In a fateful bumper car collision, Jake and Ella meet and become the most loving couple in the long history of Romance.
But when a scheming “other” woman drives a wedge of jealousy into their perfect courtship, insecurity spells out an untimely fate.

Last week was a little strange for the cheftestants, and while everyone else thought cooking Thanksgiving was as normal as could be, our teams trying to prove themselves the best chefs around seemed to roll their eyes a bit.
As the seasons have rolled on for Top Chef, and the contestants seem more and more overqualified (if you ask me), the reality television mark that is “who is the crazy contestant?” has popped up more and more on the show. An absolute staple of most reality shows (that aren’t defined by having all crazy participants), Top Chef managed to avoid the nagging doubts that plague viewers of other reality shows for many seasons, but now people are starting to wonder. At least, that’s the way I hear it.
Keep your finger on the pulse of just about any other reality competition, and it isn’t long before you...

Alphas Review, Season 2, Episode 8, “Falling”
Written by Nina Fiore and John Herrera
Directed by Nick Copus
Airs Mondays at 8pm (Et) on SyFy
Alphas has its share of “hell yeah!” moments, but it always pulls back to show that super powers aren’t such a great thing. “Falling” opens with young daredevils taking a drug that allows them to leap off a building and emerge unscathed. This moment feels similar to watching the main characters of Chronicle discovering their new talents. In that case, the skills pushed an unhinged guy towards madness and destruction. This time, the possibly deadly side effects show that nearly everything has a price. This drug isn’t appearing out of thin air and an Alpha is being harvested for it. This revelation is horrifying and shows just how far an unscrupulous businessman will go to give his customers the latest thrill. While Stanton Parish is the main threat,...

Through out the first half of “When Push Comes to Shove,” I did a lot of eye rolling at having to sit through an entire episode devoted to Nina, who is easily my least favorite character on Alphas. Compared to everyone else, she has very little to offer in terms of entertaining storylines. She doesn’t interact well with the others and her ability is much too powerful. The writers constantly have to come up with reasons to keep her from using her ability to make anyone do whatever she wants. If they didn’t, many non-violent situations would be too easily resolved by throwing Nina into the mix and telling people to play nice and be friends. Obviously that wouldn’t work, and things have advanced in such a way where Nina’s overpowered ability has become a story point, except she’s not on the side of good anymore.

Alphas Review, Season 2, Episode 4, “When Push Comes to Shove”
Written by Adam Levy
Directed by Omar Madha
Airs Mondays at 10pm (Et) on SyFy
During its first 15 episodes, Alphas has consistently depicted the fine line that exists between using the super powers for good or evil. Even the gentle Dr. Rosen has revealed that his intentions haven’t always been so positive in the past. The pilot episode depicted Cameron using his marksmanship to commit murder. He was under the influence of another Alpha, but that doesn’t make the actions less dangerous. In “Rosetta”, the apparently friendly Anna (Liane Balaban) was revealed as the leader of the Red Flag terrorist organization. Her group committed vile acts, but the government’s response to them showed plenty of reasons for their tactics. Even the villainous Stanton Parrish isn’t a one-note character who wants to destroy everyone for no reason. He...

The SyFy Channel generally isn’t the first place one would go to see two gorgeous women kissing (unless you're watching Lost Girl) but that’s what you’ll see on tonight’s episode of Alphas. On the series, currently in its second season on SyFy, a group of people with superhuman abilities work together to take on bad guys as well as learn to live as normal a life as they can despite being anything but normal.
One of the regular characters, Rachel Pirzad (played by Azita Ghanizada), has super senses, in that her five senses are heightened. And as one sense intensifies, sometimes alarmingly and uncontrollably, the other four diminish. While that may sound fun to a degree, tonight’s episode finds Rachel’s sense of touch being taken advantage of by an Alpha-gone-bad, Nina (Laura Mennell), whose power is to "push" – or mentally persuade...

Peter David, writer of stuff, wrote a book about writing comics and graphic novels called Writing for Comics and Graphic Novels with Peter David (certainly clear in intent) from which we take the following:
If you ask anyone you know whether they need someone who is going to make their life difficult, you would unquestionably get a resounding “no.” No person would say that he measures the success of his day by how soundly he manages to overcome an implacable opponent.
And yet, many of us do have “villains” in our lives. Be they oppressive bosses, obnoxious co-workers, bullies at school…on any given day we may find ourselves in a position where we have to outthink, outwit, and outmaneuver those who are in a position to make our lives difficult.
Push comes to shove, we may even find ourselves with our backs against the wall and have to slug it out with them.

'He's going to grill me every step of the way,' director tells MTV News about horror film Cameron is producing.

Guillermo del Toro has been dreaming about "At the Mountains of Madness" for well over 30 years. He read the H.P. Lovecraft story as a child and wanted to shoot a Super 8-assisted adaptation. Eighteen years ago he pitched his friend James Cameron on the idea of making "Mountains" into a feature. He tried to sell studios on the project too.
But nothing happened — until this July, when news broke that del Toro and Cameron were teaming up to adapt the horror story for the screen. Del Toro signed on to direct the 3-D feature, Cameron came aboard as a producer, and now the duo are deep into preproduction with an eye toward shooting next year.

The Vancouver International Film Festival is my baby. In its 29th year, this is the event I look forward to every year. The lists I've kept through the year come out and I eagerly look through the list of titles in search of those little gems and every year Viff responds with a huge assortment of titles. This year's festival is no different.
Some of the titles we're most eagerly anticipating include Tsumetai Nettaigyo’s Cold Fish (trailer), Gareth Edwards’ Monsters (trailer, review), Jo Sung-Hee’s apocalyptic road movie End of Animal, Carl Bessai’s Repeaters (trailer) and Xavier Dolan's Heartbeats (trailer, review).
There's loads more so be sure to check the titles (so far) after the break. Many more to be announced in the coming days.

You've got to give George A. Romero credit. It'd be ridiculously easy for the legendary horror filmmaker to rest on his laurels, to cash a paycheck and crank out lowest-common-denominator, stupid zombie movies that merely tarnish the very thing that made him a legend: the granddaddy of all zombie films, Night of the Living Dead (1968). Romero hasn't done that, however. Though may of his fans would love to see him given more opportunities to direct non-zombie films, he's the first to admit he loves them, that they're his niche, and that he's happy to make them -- on his own terms. Dawn of the Dead (1978) was awesome (and in gore-ious color!), Day of the Dead (1985) had its great moments, and Land of the Dead (2005) boasted such Hollywood stars as Dennis Hopper, John Leguizamo, and Simon Baker, as well as horror fave Asia Argento. Then, with Diary of the Dead (2007), Romero went all Cloverfield (2008) on audiences,...

Karthik Calling Karthik
Rubik’s Cube has as many uses as it has colours. Apparently playing with it is considered therapeutic. From Tennis Elbow to Schizophrenia, it can help restore many a physical and mental anomalies. It has also made quite a few screen appearances as a puzzle that characters routinely solve to convince audience of their high intelligence levels (I remember last seeing it in ‘In Pursuit of Happiness’). In Karthik Calling Karthik, it’s been used to reflect the entropy in Farhan Akhtar’s (Karthik’s) life. Capturing it in various stages of completion throughout the film, director Vijay Lalwani uses it as a leitmotif to punctuate Karthik’s unstable character graph. It’s a good ploy, except that it also mirrors the chaos clouding the screenplay.
Karthik is meek and introverted. The guilt of having been responsible for his bully brother’s death gnaws on his psyche endlessly.
