Voltron Season 7 Episode 11 Look at how far Shiro has come. In the premiere flashback he was denied everything he ever wanted, to go into space. To have respect. To do what he loved. On Earth though? In a Garrison ship? To be called a captain? That must mean the world to Shiro. After so few believed in him he finally has an entire crew looking up to him. Ready to take orders....
Wilson sprung to fame when she wasn’t even 10 years old, off the back of films such as Mrs Doubtfire and – of course – Matilda. She talks about those times, sharing moments such as asking Doubtfire director Chris Columbus with alarming regularity as to when he’s going to conquer America, and her time in the company of Robin Williams. And she takes us through effectively her falling out of love with high profile acting roles, along with them falling out with her....
Of course, the same happened with Anchorman, with it taking some time before we got Anchorman 2. For Will Ferrell though, the temptation to do Step Brothers 2 seems to have disappeared. And now he’s offered an update about what ideas he and McKay were toying with for a Step Brothers sequel shortly after that movie’s 2008 release. Hint: It might’ve been even more bizarre, all things considered. That certainly sounds nuts enough for the world created by the first zany movie, but Ferrell repeated a familiar concern: despite he and McKay being happy with Anchorman 2, there were plenty of fans and critics who weren’t....
1.3 & 1.4: Grazlax Attacks It’s easy to get a bit blase about nostalgic 80s revivals. After all, Dallas is going great guns again on our TV screens, the Ninja Turtles seem to be coming back in a big way, and in the last few years alone we’ve seen cinematic remakes for 21 Jump Street, The Karate Kid and The A-Team, to name but three. And don’t get me started on the Transformers films....
How far do you think your work colleagues would go to help you get over a break-up? Cup of tea and a hug, perhaps? A few drinks in Wetherspoons? Photoshopping Sloth from The Goonies face onto your ex’s body in the office Christmas party pics? Liz Lemon is a lucky woman. Not only does she have a lustrous head of grandfather’s shoe-tinted hair, she’s also got work colleagues who are willing to do extraordinary things to get her some....
At first, the ghost is only a nuisance, rattling pots and slamming doors, but as things get worse, Malcolm turns to a rag-tag crew of stereotypes, from a pseudo-priest (Cedric The Entertainer), a gay psychic (Nick Swardson), and a bald-headed security system installer/ghost hunter (David Koechner) to help him get a handle on his possessed girlfriend and the demon invading their house, smoking their weed, and sexually assaulting them. Nothing says laff-riot like anal rape!...
Director Fergus O’Brien combines drama and real-life testimonies in this superbly performed and deeply moving one-off drama that will make your blood boil. Using interviews with gay men who lived through the Montagu case to intercut the dramatisation of real events, we are offered both a gripping story and an insight into life as a gay man in the 1950s. This format may feel a little unorthodox in the drama’s opening minutes but what results is a multi-faceted and emotional exploration of what it was like to be homosexual in a time when it was a punishable disability....
Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 20 I’m not crying, you’re crying. These past few weeks, I haven’t hidden my love for the Framework at all. In fact, since our agents entered it, Agents of SHIELD has hit a crescendo of awesome character beats, story moments, and colon puckering intensity. This week, we kick things off with Daisy and Tripp warmly reuniting even though Framework Tripp has no earthly clue who Daisy is and things just get more emotional from there....
Agents of SHIELD Season 4 Episode 6 It’s funny, people claim origin fatigue when it comes to live action Marvel properties, but when a solid origin hits, comic fans usually react pretty positively. I mean, Doctor Strange is already surrounded by grumblings from fans who are gripping about having to sit through another act one, but listen, you don’t get to The Empire Strikes Back until you experience Star Wars. When last we left our agents, Eli Morrow was abducted by the ghostly Lucy Bauer....
Throughout Disney’s new, 3D re-imagining of Alice In Wonderland, the odd girl with the blonde hair – now 19, finding herself back in Wonderland to escape the stuffiness of Victorian society – is asked her name by bizarre characters and CGI creations. Their response is uniform: ‘The Alice?’ croons the Cheshire Cat, voiced by a most decadent, flirtatious Stephen Fry. However, there seems to be a more puzzling question, concerning the film’s director: is this the Tim Burton?...
Something about the character has such universal appeal that he shows up in almost every Marvel title at some point or another, purely because he sells comics. Want to shift that Cloak and Dagger miniseries? How about: issue 2, guest-starring Wolverine! 3. Wolverine kills Jean Grey, New X-Men #148 Wolverine’s unrequited love for Jean Grey is well-documented – when Grant Morrison took over the title, he set about turning Jean into the Phoenix again....
In a way, it nicely bridges the gap from the viral Funny or Die short, in which a group of famous broadcasts give a faux documentary tribute to Azaria’s legendary Brockmire and mourn his demise, to the screwball redemption story of the TV series. Nowhere was actually filmed in Atlanta, where we had the opportunity to chat with Azaria and Peet in between takes as they filmed the final episodes of season one....
Through all of their problems, the Smiths love each other. They often don’t see eye to eye, but they are at their best when they all work as a team rather than being at each other’s throats. Many episodes of American Dad pit members of the Smith family against each other, but “The Mural of the Story” feels different in that respect. Yes, this is an episode where members of the family are in opposition to each other, but it’s also got a lot to say on pride and how the community itself can be an enemy....
7.4 11/9 Granted, Kai’s general patter is roughly the same. He’s all about turning fear and anger into power. He makes himself into whatever the person he’s speaking to needs when they need him. Generally, that takes the form of validation. He recruits angry, powerless individuals and offers them the opportunity to be something greater, to join in with something bigger than themselves, and crucially, to tap into the reserves of hate, anger, and frustration that have kept them chained and turn those wells of feelings into, well, whatever Kai needs in that particular moment....
The one thing you can’t take away from American Horror Story is the institution that they’re building. You have to believe that these are the happiest actors on television, some of them in their third season. The actors are getting the chance to portray a different character every year, yet stay on a series that is tonally similar. I love how the actors are recycled; it keeps the show familiar and also allows you to see the range of their talent....
4.5 Pink Cupcakes That search for easy targets allows Dandy to pop up in the strangest places, or rather what’s going to be one of the show’s unifying places: an underground gay strip club where Stanley apparently picked up Matt Bomer and where Dell is actively cozying up to his boyfriend—while being in no big hurry to leave his wife. It’s really a great series of transitions. We follow Dandy through the bar, run into Dell and his hustler acquaintance, Dell storms off, and then Dandy moves in for the kill....
In this episode of Archer, the perpetually gorgeous super-spy team of the fetching Lana and Sterling were joined by a giant hound of animated cuteness who can out-fetch both of them combined. Sent to retrieve (yes, its a breed joke!) special asset agent Kazak from Tangier, Morocco, the duo had no idea going into the mission they would meet the dopiest cuddle-ally in the world. Seriously, the animators worked overtime to make his droopy eyes more adorable than half the videos on YouTube....
Because in the comments below our reviews of both RoboCop (2014) and The LEGO Movie were some pertinent, constructive questions. We’re not going to name the commenters, as the aim isn’t to expose them to flaming or such like. Yet they raise some interesting questions and points – which we’ve quoted directly – that in many ways frame the ongoing star rating debate. Hence, we thought a fuller exploration of the issues might be useful....
Arrow Season 4, Episode 11 Felicity hallucinations aside, tonight’s episode is the most refreshing Arrowhas been in a while, and it did it all by keeping the A plot’s focus on one character: John Diggle. As an entire episode, “A.W.O.L.” had its strengths (Diggles) and weakness (flashbacks, hallucinations), but it also felt focused in a way this show hasn’t been pulling off as often in recent seasons. In a universe that get increadingly outlandish with each spinoff, Diggle is that relatable character who is still a little wigged out by Barry’s powers....
1.19 Unfinished Business The unfinished business is that between Oliver and The Count, who is still stuck in the mental hospital he landed in a few weeks ago. We all thought he’d return as a functioning psychopath, much like The Joker or other villains like him, but it turns out that he’s just catatonic, and his knowledge is being used by others to reignite the chaos Vertigo caused last time around....
