“Broadchurch” wraps up a three-season arc by pulling off an ambitious storyline about rape that is as devastating as it is instructive.
It’s a fitting capper to a series that uses the sleepy Dorset town of Broadchurch as a microcosm to examine society’s ills. On the show, it’s been five years since the killing of local boy Danny Latimer, a devastating storyline that consumed “Broadchurch’s” excellent Season 1. [The less cohesive Season 2, which took place three years later, went off the rails a bit with Danny’s subsequent murder trial.]
Creator and writer Chris Chibnall guides “Broadchurch” steadily back home to finish off the trilogy with the help of his detective duo Alex Hardy (David Tennant) and Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman), who provide the only humor on the show through their comfortable and mutually irascible personalities. We’re going to miss their banter.

Keanu Reeves’ career has been defined by contradictions.
As a young actor he radiated an old soul, now as an older actor he embodies youth. He’s a movie star despite a limited acting range, and he’s a household name yet no one can tell you much about his personal life.
He’s best known for playing Neo in the game-changing Matrix trilogy, a role that showcased his laconic coolness and martial-arts skills. But the last Matrix pic hit theatres in 2003 and since then Reeves has been content to keep busy on Hollywood’s perimeter — appearing in small indie movies, directing his first film (the martial-arts movie Man of Tai Chi), and producing the documentary Side by Side,...

Next month over on streaming giant Netflix offers up a giant selection of films of all stripes — modern to classic, animated to live action, Oscar contender to…not so much — and we’ve picked seven (well, really 11) that you should watch as soon as humanly possible, either for the first time or as part of a nostalgic little binge. Enjoy.
1. “Footloose” (available September 1)
If you’ve never experienced the original “Footloose” — no, not the one starring Miles Teller, though he is quite serviceable in a charming role — do yourself a favor and check out Herbert Ross’ 1984 classic. Yes, the concept of a town outlawing dancing is bizarre and outdated, but Ross and his cast (including Kevin Bacon in the kind of star-making role that’s so rare these days) really sell the concept, thanks to some serious drama and hard-earned emotion. But there is also dancing! It’s joyous and gymnastic and pure,...

Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most prolific writer/director working in film today. His first feature-length film, Reservoir Dogs, came out back in 1993, and yet the man still manages to surprise us with his hard-hitting dialogue, unconventional humor, and radical social and political commentary. This is a man who serves as a prime example of succeeding as a result of respecting one's elders, as he learns from those great filmmakers who came before him, while still managing to thread his own style through his intricately woven, homage-heavy film résumé.
While the rest of the world toned down its violence and opted for bigger box office, PG-13 sure-things, Tarantino stuck to his guns, consistently making movies for adults and constantly pushing the envelope as to what is allowed onscreen and how to go about displaying such graphic material. Tarantino doesn't give a damn what you think, and that's the reason why...

The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) is in UK cinemas now, serving up more stomach-churning depravity, questionable morality and serious over-acting.
In outing number three, Centipede veteran Dieter Laser plays a cowboy prison warden under fire thanks to a heatwave that's sending inmates into a riotous fury. With cost cutting and prison efficiency a priority, the warden's accountant Dwight (star of Centipede 2 Laurence R Harvey) suggests sewing the inmates all together as a solution. From there... well, things naturally get grim.
We braved all of Final Sequence's 103 minutes to bring you a timeline of gruesomeness. And Eric Roberts. Naturally, this contains spoilers and is very Nsfw.

The wait is finally over ladies and gentlemen! One of this years most anticipated horror films is finally here! Yep, Tom Six (I Love Dries) has finally unleashed The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence upon the world. When I watched parts 1 & 2 upon initial release, I was rather underwhelmed, but upon revisiting the films prior to the third and final chapter in the trilogy, I found myself enjoying the films for what they are. I won’t go in to detail because if you’re reading this review, you have already seen them. Needless to say, the films were brutal with an original concept that made Dieter Laser (John Gleuckstadt) amd Laurence R. Harvey (The Editor) household names and horror icons.

There’re few things more exciting than attending your first movie premiere, especially when it’s a movie you have been greatly anticipating. After seeing and immediately becoming a fan of both of Tom Six’s previous Centipede movies, I was more than curious to see what was coming next. Unfortunately I walked out of the theater thoroughly disappointed.
Long plot summary short, the film opens at George W. Bush prison, where slowly-losing-his-mind prison warden Bill Boss (Dieter Laser) and his accountant, Dwight Butler (Laurence R. Harvey), are trying to not only quell the multitude of prison riots and violence, but also find a way to stop the prison system from hemorrhaging money. Both these factors have convinced Governor Hughes (Eric Roberts) to fire them, but he gives the duo two weeks to turn things around. Eventually, Butler pleads with Boss to consider his idea to introduce the human centipede into the prison system.

The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence) is an empty, self-gratifying, wannabe exploitation flick that’s crafted by a monkey who started by flinging poo at a wall with artistic intent – yes, The Human Centipede (First Sequence) has value – yet has now devolved into a smut-peddling attention whore who keeps flinging poo just to stay relevant. I wish I could stop my review of Tom Six’s worst movie to date right there, but I cannot – because that would be doing all of you a disservice (and because I have a minimum wordcount requirement). Six’s franchise has turned from a cheeky attempt to push unimaginable boundaries into a “for shocks only” nightmare that prays college film students will dare one another to sit through one last ass-to-mouth ensemble, cringing with every life-giving passage of waste. Unfortunately, Six’s third film is a dare with no winners, whether or not you...

A caveat before I dig in: I’ve not seen this week’s episode of Agents of Shield (and screw typing all those periods!). That being said, I doubt the snark I’m about to wield will be undone over one episode. In fact, I bet my beard on it. But I digress.
With the ending of the limited run on Agent Carter, we’ve returned to the inhumanly angsty agents under Phil Coulson. And it didn’t take long into their mighty return for me to wind up longing for Manhattan in 1946 again. Funnier still to me is the fact that when Peggy was to replace Phil on the squawk box, I lamented even programming the DVR. Shield boasted new technology, a major Hydra conspiracy, ties to the modern day Marvel Movieverse™, and plenty of butt-kickery to enjoy. Peggy and pals could only promise pugilists and palookas, gender inequality,...

The musical that poignantly poses the question “Who will love me as I am?” got its answer last night: Very few.
Tough business.

The original production also closed on January 4 — 1998, after 91 performances, a record the new version will not match. After successful tryouts at the La Jolla Playhouse in California and the Kennedy Center last summer, the heavily revised show opened November 16 at the Jujamcyn-owned St. James Theatre to several glowing reviews, including a rave from the New York Times’ Charles Isherwood:

Will it be third time’s the charm for Jim Carrey and “Saturday Night Live”? We shall see as the show returns from its first hiatus this season. When Carrey last hosted in January 2011, only five current cast members were still around. That offers up a lot of new comedic combinations tonight. Plus, as Carrey looks to plug his upcoming film “Dumb And Dumber To,” don’t be surprised to see Jeff Daniels pop by, hopefully in full Will McAvoy mode. (After all, “The Newsroom” is already plenty funny, and sometimes even intentionally so.) As per usual, I’ll assign grades to each sketch while liveblogging all the action. As per usual, I urge you not to get bent out of shape should these grades not align with your own. If you did, well, that would be super strange and kind of boring. See you at 11:30 pm Est when things kick off properly.

It's always fun when our favorite TV shows give us Halloween themed episodes during this fun and creepy time of year. Some shows offer us real horror, while others use the opportunity to make us laugh. There are certain Halloween episodes that I have enjoyed watching over the years that have stuck with me, and I've put together a list of ten of my favorites that I think are awesome. I didn't include Halloween specials like It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown or Garfield's Halloween Special because those was more specialized, and not really a part of a series. You can go through my picks below, and when you're done, let me know what some of your favorite Halloween episodes are!

The musical Side Show gained a significant cult following when it premiered on Broadway in 1997, and it seems the rest of pop culture is only just now catching up, with an AMC reality show about the Venice Boardwalk freak show, the popular Tim Burton film and musical adaptation of Big Fish, and various other carny-themed stories making their mark. So it’s a fitting time for a revival of the musical about conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton, who started as a circus act to rise to fame on stage in the 1930s.

Where else can you see, without much fanfare, premier screenings of shorts by luminaries such as Drew Daywalt and Rebekah McKendry, shorts that are so new that they don't even have IMDb pages yet?
Witches Brew, directed by Rebekah McKendry, is an ultra short, hilarious and adorable Halloween film. Children's horror is a difficult thing to pull off, because there has to be a perfect balance of childlike wonder and horror or the thing won't work. In Witches Brew McKendry successfully utilizes the naiveté of childhood to create something both cute and scary. I should also add that Actress Jessica Cameron gives the most appealing performance of her career so far.

Las Vegas — Up to 115,000 partiers are expected each night this weekend for a dusk-to-dawn sensory salad of electronic dance music, lights, partying and mingling at a sprawling speedway complex outside Las Vegas.
Electric Daisy Carnival officials said Wednesday that all 345,000 available tickets had been sold for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday night event at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
The festival founder, Insomniac Events CEO Pasquale Rotella, likes to call the fans and the revelry the headline attraction at his nocturnal gatherings, which drew criticism in Los Angeles before moving to Las Vegas in 2011.
"That's one of the biggest spectacles of the entire event, 115,000 like-minded people all dressed up and having a good time," said Simon Rust Lamb, Insomniac chief operating officer and general counsel.

It looks like Carey Mulligan got that 3 a.m. phone call. According to THR, Mulligan has become the front-runner to play Hillary Rodham Clinton in "Rodham." Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Chastain and Amanda Seyfried were among those actresses initially rumored as possibilities for the role in director James Ponsoldt's highly anticipated biopic. (Chastain, however, denied any involvement in an interview last week.)
Based on a script by Young Il Kim, "Rodham" focuses on the former Secretary of State's younger years, when she worked on the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate scandal. (The House Judiciary Committee recommended that President Richard Nixon be impeached.) The film also tracks her burgeoning relationship with Bill Clinton, a role that has yet to be cast. The Daily Beast recently got its hands on the "Rodham" screenplay and reported that the onscreen version of Hillary swears frequently and has no trouble discussing her sex life with Bill.

Having previously tackled the seductive world of competitive dance in Strictly Ballroom (1992), updated Bill Shakespeare's most famous love story in Romeo + Juliet (1996), illuminated turn-of-the-century Paris for Moulin Rouge! (2001) and readdressed the legacy of white colonialism Down Under with Australia (2008), Aussie director Baz Luhrmann now turns his hand to a 3D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel The Great Gatsby. Luhrmann's hotly-awaited latest spectacle premières at the Cannes Film Festival this week before going on general release in UK cinemas this Thursday (16 May), with early snippets coming across from critics in the States mixed to say the very least (review to come tomorrow).

Various Artists, "Music From Baz Luhrmann's Film The Great Gatsby" (Interscope Records)
"The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain." Daisy Buchanan from "The Great Gatsby" gets to be reincarnated on the film's soundtrack under the guise of artists such as Beyonce, Lana Del Ray, Sia and Florence Welch. Their honeyed charm work on the listener in the same indiscriminate, intense manner that Buchanan's does on the narrator and her entourage.
The Jay-z-produced musical roller coaster mixes electronica, hip-hop and rock with jazz-age sounds into a breathy, sexy, dangerous, electric result. It was to be expected from the master of mind-blowing pastiche, director Baz Luhrmann, to create a totally anachronistic companion to his lush film that works to drive the story's point home – illusionary love, the excess of the leisure classes, the curse of money.

Everything we’ve seen from Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby suggests we’re in for a real treat this month.
After pushing the film from an awards slot release date last year to its current summer blockbuster position this month, Warner Bros. have been doing a brilliant job of making good on the promise of a spectacle fit for the summer season. And following on from all we’ve seen comes the latest TV spot, featuring a snippet of Jay-z’s 100$ Bill, written specifically for the movie.
From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby. The filmmaker will create his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role.

Fergie has unveiled her 'The Great Gatsby' party song, which tips its hat to a bygone age of swinging jazz.
The Black Eyed Peas singer teamed up with Q-Tip and GoonRock for the upbeat dance number 'A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)', which includes elements of 1920s saxophone riffs.
It follows a preview of Lana Del Rey's 'Young and Beautiful', which will serve as the soundtrack's lead single.
Earlier this month, Beyonce's and Andre 3000's cover of Amy Winehouse's 'Back To Black' appeared in a new epic trailer for 'The Great Gatsby'.
With one month to go before the release of Baz Luhrmann's film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, the latest promo shows the opulence that 'Gatsby' is celebrated for on full display, as Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio) throws lavish parties in his mansion.

If there's anybody in the world who understands the need to be big pimpin' and spendin' cheese, it's Jay-z, and it sounds like all that baller status empathy is coming to good, good use for director Baz Luhrmann and his upcoming adaptation of "The Great Gatsby."
In this latest (final?) trailer for the lavish picture, the group offers up a delicious little sampling of the smörgåsbord of talent Jay's got on deck for "Gatsby" - leading off, of course, with his one and only Daisy Beyonce and her co-cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" with Andre 3000. Listen closely and you'll also hear a little Jack White, Lana Del Rey and the incomparable Florence + the Machine seamlessly dropping in here and there. Gorgeous.
The full "Gatsby" track list was revealed by EW yesterday to put down the long-lived suspicions of involvement by Prince and Lady Gaga with the album.

Warner Bros. has premiered a new The Great Gatsby trailer featuring new music from Beyonce, Andre 3000, Lana Del Rey and Florence + The Machine to keep you champing at the bit for what is either going to be another Baz Luhrmann gem or a visual extravaganza that falters under the weight of style over substance. Clearly the addition of Jay-z to the production as executive producer has helped in the music department. The trailer features a new cover of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black" by Beyonce and Andre 3000 and the soundtrack itself will include a new Jay-z track called "100$ Bill" and will have additional contributions from the likes of will.i.am, Fergie, Q-Tip, Lana Del Rey, Florence + the Machine, Gotye, Jack White and more. I have included the complete track-listing below. Jay-z - 100$ Bill Beyonce and Andre 3000 - Back to Black will.i.am - Bang Bang Fergie, Q-Tip,...

Star Trek – and we’re talking the original 1966-69 series here – was a lousy TV show. I was 11 years old when the series debuted on NBC and I thought it was a lousy show then.
That’s why I couldn’t stand the Trekkies even back before there was a name for them. My first run-in with a pre-Trekkie Trekkie was Vincent DePalma. In seventh grade, Vincent had his mother make a sparkly Star Fleet emblem for a corduroy pullover to make it look like the uniform blouses on the show. He wore it to school which I thought was him begging to get his ass beat. He’d built a full-sized replica of the helm/navigation console from the Enterprise bridge in his basement. His father worked for Bell Telephone and had gotten him banks of light-up buttons that really worked. His dream was to eventually recreate the entire bridge in his basement.

Laura Linney excels at playing quiet women who are secretly simmering with passion. Her latest role, with Bill Murray in Hyde Park on Hudson, is a classic example
Laura Linney isn't important. "Meh," she shrugs happily. "I'm no one. I'm not Bill [Murray, taking tea in the next room]. I'm not a tentpole of culture." A cheery pause. "People can get nervous around me but that's just a weird sense of celebrity."
Silence descends, broken only by the clacking of her bangles. "The one thing I do get is that people are surprised I'm better-looking than they think I'm going to be. There's that. And that throws me sometimes."
Is that a nice thing to be told? "It's double-edged. Every once in a while I'm like: Oh, Ok ... good. And then I'm like, well ..." People are so surprised! "Oh! You're good-looking!" Well, thanks ..."
In the flesh, Linney is formidable: very sharp, very pretty, maybe a little more blingy than you'd expect.

Being an election year, it’s appropriate that 2012 has been a presidential year in Hollywood, too. The season would be remarkable for Daniel Day-Lewis’ portrayal of Abraham Lincoln alone, but this weekend, Bill Murray tackled an equally iconic American president, playing Franklin D. Roosevelt in Hyde Park on Hudson. Roosevelt took office in the midst of the Great Depression, was re-elected an unprecedented three times, and prepared the nation for World War II and successfully waged it — all the while being crippled by polio and anchored to a wheelchair.
