LOS ANGELES, CA (January 5, 2016)

In SPECTRE, a cryptic message from the past sends James Bond (Daniel Craig) on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.

Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr. White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.

As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.

Sam Mendes returns to direct SPECTRE, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as 007 for the fourth time. The film is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.  The screenplay is by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Jez Butterworth, with a story by John Logan and Neal Purvis & Robert Wade.

Hello, McFly!: Five-Time Emmy Award Winner Michael J. Fox, Lea Thompson
To Appear At Wizard World Comic Con Philadelphia

Fox, and Lorraine Baines McFly (Marty's mother), Lea Thompson, will make their first Wizard World appearances on that date at Wizard World Comic Con Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Fox also had time during his busy TV work to become an international film star, appearing in over a dozen features showcasing his keen ability to shift between comedy and drama. These include the Back to the Future trilogy, The Hard Way, Doc Hollywood, The Secret of My Success and many others.

Shown from the stalker’s point of the view, the film follows Emma (Benson), a graduate student who falls prey to a tech-savvy stalker who hacks into her digital world.

We’re constantly connected through our phones, laptops and the Web every moment of every day. But while we look at our screens, who’s looking at us? Meet Emma, a beautiful young grad student who has just moved from the Midwest to New York, excited to be on her own in the big city. But when a stalker hacks into her devices, he destroys Emma’s illusions of privacy and she discovers just how fragile our sense of security can be. Ashley Benson stars in the groundbreaking psychological thriller that explores a world where the cameras are always on and someone’s always watching. 

RATTER was written and directed by Branden Kramer. The film was executive produced by Stefan Haverkamp, Jan Jaworski, Tom Kropp, Matt Levin, Michael Maher, Evelynda Rivera and Sarah Shepard and produced by David Bausch, Ben Browning and Jamie Zelermyer.

Supergirl S1E9 - "Blood Bonds" Review

                                           


After the winter hiatus, Supergirl returns. Titled, “Blood Bonds”, it picks up right where the last episode left off, with Non and Supergirl fighting. It’s a very intense battle. Instead of finishing off Supergirl, Non abducts Henshaw. Maxwell Lord is none too pleased about the events and orders Alex and her people to leave. With Henshaw gone, Alex is the emergency director. Instead of telling Kara the truth about Hank, she allows her to interrogate Astra.

Kara learns little from Astra and although Astra speaks of blood bonding, the two couldn’t be further apart. We cut to a flashback on Krypton, a year before it’s destroyed. Alura is confronting Astra and Non before they head to Fort Rozz. The indifference is plain to see in Krypton; no one seems to care about it’s impending doom.

Cat is still convinced that Kara is Supergirl. Naturally, Kara is not doing a good job of hiding the truth. Meanwhile, at the DEO, Non contacts Alex and demands a trade. He wants Astra, and in return, she gets Henshaw back. In the interim, the President has ordered the military to take over the DEO, so that means General Lane is back. Alex gives in without a fight.

James and Maxwell Lord have some words. Lord is not impressed with James’ association with aliens. He implies that he is going to do what needs to be done, whatever that means. Cat interrogates Kara about her past and is more convinced than ever that she is Supergirl. General Lane and Astra have a meeting, and it ends with Lane using Kryptonite and ambushing her.

Turns out, James and Lord weren’t just “talking”. James installed some high tech surveillance of his own and wants Wynn to help him break into Lord’s facility before he can inflict damage on Kara. Cat is finished playing games with Kara; she gives her the ultimate ultimatum: either prove without a doubt that she’s not Supergirl or she’s fired.

James and Wynn have broken in to Lord Technologies. Unfortunately for James, Maxwell Lord was waiting for him. Alex and Supergirl are there to retrieve Henshaw. Just like James, things didn’t turn out so well for the DEO/army, as the place exploded quickly after Supergirl and Alex find a hologram of Henshaw. Turns out, Astra was lying and the Kryptonite attack that Lane used had no effect.

Lord has James locked away in some weird, black room. His true colors are starting to show as he beats James. He threatens him. Kara also has to deal with a threat. Instead of revealing the truth to Cat, she decides to quit, though not without mentioning how much she’s learned from Cat. I continue to enjoy their scenes together, by the way.

Kara finally learns the truth about what James and Wynn were up to and she’s angry, naturally. After the day (or two) that she’s had it’s not hard to see why. She feels like she’s lost everything and even the threat of being like Astra doesn’t seem to faze her. I love when we see Kara’s emotions explode; it’s good stuff! She’s feeling powerless even though she hasn’t been able to defeat her enemies. James and Wynn help her calm down. Teamwork!

Astra and Kara have a heart to heart. She finally tells Kara the truth about her mother: that she was always a good person. Kara and Alex agree to make the trade with Non to get Henshaw back. They go up against Lane, but in the end, his men back down quickly.

The trade goes off without a hitch---almost. Non has his men surround the DEO, but it’s Astra who convinces him to stand down, which he does with great reluctance. I was surprised by that. In the end, Kara finds out Henshaw’s secret, after Alex lets it slip. She takes it with great stride.

In order to keep Cat off the scent, both Kara and Henshaw (you know, he’s got shapeshifting powers and all) pretend to be Supergirl and Kara at the same time. The two then have a heart to heart, something I’ve been waiting for. After chatting briefly with her cousin, Kara is determined to expose Lord.

At the end of the episode we find that Lord has been up to some shady things. All we know is that a girl with no family ties is involved. This was a really good episode to start the second half of the season with!


Supergirl airs Mondays at 8pm Eastern Standard Time on CBS.

HISTORY'S 'Vikings' Season Four Trailer Released


History already announced that this season of Vikings would be supersized. Below is an early look at season four of HISTORY’s hit drama series VIKINGS, premiering Thursday, February 18 at 10 p.m. It looks bigger and bloodier than ever!
  


About VIKINGS
HISTORY’s hit drama series “Vikings” returns for a gripping fourth season led by Travis Fimmel, star of the upcoming film Warcraft, on Thursday, February 18 at 10 p.m. ET. The network has added four episodes to its initial 16 episode order. Beginning February 18, a new episode will air every Thursday for ten weeks with the remaining episodes to air later in the year.


Season three culminated with the extraordinary battle in Paris, where Ragnar (Fimmel) seized victory from the jaws of defeat – but still returns to Kattegat dangerously ill. Thoughts of his death galvanize the forces who seek to succeed him as king, including his wife Queen Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland) and his oldest son, Bjorn (Alexander Ludwig). Meanwhile, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) continues power struggles with her calculating, former second in command, Kalf (Ben Robson); Rollo (Clive Standen) betrays his Vikings heritage by remaining in Frankia and Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård) is seized for his brutal actions to the Christian priest Athelstan.

Joining the stellar cast this season is Peter Franzén (The Gunman) as “King Harold Finehair,” a complex character who seeks to be King of Norway and a potential threat to Ragnar; Jasper Pääkkönen (Jet Trash) as “Halfdan The Black,” King Harold’s violent younger brother; and Dianne Doan(“Descendants”) as “Yidu,” a completely different character within the world of the Vikings who fascinates Ragnar.

“Vikings” is the critically acclaimed series from creator and sole writer Michael Hirst (Academy Award® winning film Elizabeth and the Emmy® and Golden Globe® nominated series “The Tudors”) and is a family saga that tells the remarkable tales of the lives and epic adventures of the raiders and explorers of the Dark Ages.
