It’s a wonder movie from the 1930s, a political fantasy that imagines a Utopia of peace and kindness hidden away in a distant mountain range — or in our daydreams. Sony’s new restoration is indeed impressive. Ronald Colman is seduced by a vision of a non-sectarian Heaven on Earth, while Savant indulges his anti-Frank Capra grumblings in his admiring but hesitant review essay.

Walter (George Payne) and Marsha (Michelle Maren) are the classic American married couple. Walter has a good job and Marsha is your perfect housewife. The pair believe in monogamy. I say that, but the couple have a sort of sexual awakening. One day, Walter has a bit of fun with a local hooker (Sharon Mitchell) and whilst he’s at it – Marsha finds herself seduced by Joe (Eric Edwards) – their Meter man. As this is going on, their friends Andy (Joey Silvera) and his wife Louise (Sharon Kane) are the complete opposite. The couple are both openly promiscuous and have their own fun when they can.

Wonder Woman herself is about to bless my unborn child. "Can I?" she asks, before spreading her long fingers around my pregnant belly. Her hands feel warm and maternal. She holds my gaze, unwavering. "Girl or boy?" she asks. "Girl," I tell her. Her smile widens. "Being a woman is a strength," she says. "In so many ways."

You know how they say smoking marijuana can make anything funny? Well, whoever said that never watched Netflix’s appallingly bad new weed-com Disjointed. Because it would take a tractor-trailer full of ganja to make this mess tolerable.

We’re nearly halfway through July, but somehow, here at the ole’ multiplex, there’s a distinct chill. No, it’s not somebody tinkering with the thermostat. It could be this new horror flick, perhaps. Although it’s not the good chill as in a memorable “spine-tingler”. No, it’s as if this wannabe’ thriller somehow escaped the dumping ground of mid-January, or a Friday-the-thirteenth weekend, or sometime close to Halloween. It’s squarely aimed at the pre-teen and teen set since it’s got the PG-13 rating, so it’s a bit scary, just not too intense or “gory gross”. And it features a cast from other young adult flicks and TV shows for audience identification. And what’s the added incentive at the top of the poster, the nudge that’ll put behinds in the seats? “From the director of Annabelle”…really. That’s something to boast about?...

Okay film fans, are you all set for the big sequel storming the multiplex this weekend. No, not that one, the one with the caped combatants. Instead of spandex think….Windex. This is the follow-up that most movie-goers of a…ahem…certain age have been clamoring for since the original shocked and stunned Hollywood fourteen (gasp!) years ago. That’s because this lil’ flick with no big marquee stars, which cost a paltry five million, went on to gross just under a quarter of a billion bucks. So what took em’ so long, you may ask. Well, there was a TV show in 2003 that CBS canned after just seven episodes. Tis’ a distant memory, one that will be erased when the whole gang is back for My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. So pass the ouzo! Opa!

Cain started off by calling out some of the film influences behind the game, including the Harlan Ellison adaptation, A Boy and His Dog, and the TV movie, The Day After.
Moving on to the challenges of making the game, he explained that for the first six months of development, it was simply him alone, later joined by two more members before the team finally started to coalesce. He says that during the last six months of development, they would work almost daily for 12-14 hour days. He says that it was awesome because they were in their 20's but seems ridiculous now. The team effort was helped out by some Qa workers volunteered to work for free on weekends because of their love of the game.

Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it's time to start looking ahead to Christmas. ABC Family is kicking things off with "Desperately Seeking Santa," which star Laura Vandervoort tells Zap2it is not your typical Christmas movie.
"I play Jennifer Walker. She's a girl very driven to succeed, make it up the corporate ladder at a mall in Boston," says Laura. "She comes up with this idea to have sexy Santa or hunky Santa instead of the regular Santa. She holds auditions with local men to be the new hunky Santa. It's a fun Christmas comedy, but it's also a romance. I'm a romantic at heart and I really related to the script."
Naturally, Jennifer finds her hunky Santa, in David Moretti (Nick Zano) and then the romantic sparks fly. But he also teaches Jennifer that there's more to life than work.
