“For an intellectual product of any value to exert an immediate influence which shall also be deep and lasting, it must rest on an inner harmony, yes, an affinity, between the personal destiny of its author and that of his contemporaries in general.”—Thomas Mann, Death in Venice Barry Lyndon. I can’t believe there was a time when I didn’t know that name. Barry Lyndon means an artwork both grand and glum. Sadness inconsolable. A cello bends out a lurid sound, staining the air before a piano droopingly follows in the third movement of Vivaldi's “Cello Concerto in E Minor.” This piece, which dominates the second half of the film, steers the hallowed half of my head to bask in the film’s high melancholic temperature. Why should I so often remember it? What did I have to do with this film? I only received it with...

Don't mess with Jackie Chan. Stx Entertainment has unveiled a new trailer, which is just one action scene, for the film The Foreigner, starring Jackie Chan in a serious role as a man who goes for revenge when the police do nothing. This scene was teased in the first trailer, but now we get to see it play out entirely as Chan is hunted by a group of mercenaries. This is Martin Campbell's latest film, director of GoldenEye, Casino Royale, Edge of Darkness; adapted from a book called "The Chinaman". He plays a father who tries to get revenge when his daughter is killed in an Ira bombing, leading him right up to the politicians. It also stars Pierce Brosnan, Charlie Murphy, Katie Leung, Simon Kunz, Rory Fleck Byrne, Stephen Hogan, Pippa Bennett-Warner, and Dermot Crowley. This looks so much better than Bleeding Steel. Here's the "extended look...

The past few decades have brought some insane advances in Artificial Intelligence and filmmakers have capitalized on the possibilities of what may one day exist in real life. Some of the scariest supercomputers in movies have had the capability to reason and even take over the world. And now, in our society, it’s getting to the point that even the most brilliant minds in the world like Elon Musk are worried that these movie scenarios might one day become real. Here are five of the coolest fictional super computers in movies. 1. Hal 9000 – “” Stanley Kubric and Arthur

"Never push a good man too far." A trailer has debuted for the action film The Foreigner, starring Jackie Chan in a serious role as a man who goes for revenge when the police do nothing to help him. This is the latest film from Martin Campbell, director of GoldenEye, Casino Royale, Edge of Darkness, and Green Lantern; adapted from a book called "The Chinaman". Chan plays a father who tries to get revenge when his daughter is killed in an Ira bombing, leading him right up to the politicians involved. The full cast includes Pierce Brosnan, Charlie Murphy, Katie Leung, Simon Kunz, Rory Fleck Byrne, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Stephen Hogan, and Dermot Crowley. This seems like an quietly intense story of a man who goes to war against everyone when no one else will do anything. Footage looks great, I'm totally in for this.

As it turns out, a game show about emoji in 2017 might be a pretty good idea. Emogenius, the program hosted by YouTube videomaker Hunter March, earned 336,000 viewers during its June 14 premiere, which was good enough to make it Game Show Network's top premiere of the TV season.
Emogenius pits two teams against one another across a series of emoji-themed competitions. After it was first announced in March (how fitting), it received a June 7 premiere date back in May, though it was later pushed back a week. Here's a clip from the show, with March's hosting chops on full display.
March, best known for hosting videos on the AwesomenessTV channel, is a second-generation game show emcee; his grandfather, Hal, led The $64,000 Question more than 60 years ago. Given the nice returns Emogenius has delivered early on, and the positive reviews it has received from a few game show blogs, don't be shocked if the younger March sticks around at his new gig for quite some time.

Now that “The Button” is over, you’d imagine the events that transpired would’ve had a major effect on the DC universe. Judging by The Flash #23, it’s a mixture of both yes and no. Look, there’s still reference to the previous arc here, but there’s also a humongous cop-out that frustrates beyond measure. More on this below.
As has been the theme in the issues released over the past few weeks, an old friend makes a significant appearance in a ‘Brave and the Bold’ type of mould. In this book, it’s Hal Jordan (Green Lantern), who pops by for Barry Allen’s birthday and ends up helping him shoo away the creepy Multiplex from stalking a poor lady. The biggest (and most controversial) moment of the story, though, is the surprising return of Reverse-Flash. Ahem, the guy who died in “The Button,...

Why being honest about AI stifles good storytelling.
Open any newspaper and you’ll find a profusion of articles and op-eds debating the future of artificial intelligence. Elon Musk is terrified of it. So is Jack Ma. Peter Thiel isn’t. The AI mania has even permeated the film world, which (the latest slew of “film is dead” articles warns us) will apparently not escape the automation boom. Of course, our public conversation about AI has long been tied to the cinema. As our own Sinead McCausland has pointed out, films have supplied the popular imagination with images and existential questions about AI since Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. But as AI gradually shifts from the realm of science fiction to that of reality, it’s worth examining the premises film has fed us about the technology, and asking whether they’ll serve us well in the coming decades.

2001: A Space Odyssey plays midnights this weekend (April 28th and 29th) at The Tivoli Theater as part of the Reel late at The Tivoli Midnight series.
1968 was a watershed year in American history and cinema. Director Stanley Kubrick and writer Arthur C. Clarke combined their geniuses to create 2001: A Space Odyssey, a film that takes humans from the dawn of evolution to the edge of space and time. I saw this movie for the first time at the Esquire Theater on Clayton Road in a 1976 re-release. It was actually on one of their upstairs screens, a tight area that served as a balcony in that theater’s first decades. 2001: A Space Odyssey left this 14-year old dazed and confused – and I still am to this day.

Taking over the baton from Logan and Patty Jenkins’ standalone Wonder Woman movie, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has been elected the current cover star of Empire Magazine, and the outlet has today peeled back the curtain on not one, not two, but three all-new images for James Gunn’s spacefaring sequel.
Featuring Star-Lord and the rest of the gang, not to mention new looks at Yondu (Michael Rooker) and Ego, the Living Planet (Kurt Russell) in his humanoid form, the high-res pics are enough to stoke excitement for Guardians 2 without necessarily divulging any spoiler-sensitive material – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. One thing that will no doubt fuel conversation online is the inclusion of Karen Gillan’s Nebula, who can be seen rubbing shoulders with the Guardians and, perhaps most interesting of all, her estranged sister Gamora (Zoe Saldana) up above.

First, let’s take a look at Trinity, which looks to offer a nice alternative for those who may or may not be digging what’s going on over in the Justice League books. Normally, the focused is placed squarely on DC’s biggest guns – Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman – but it seems the rest of their Jl cohorts will be joining them for the “All Along The Watchtower” arc.

This review is based off a volume that collects Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps: Rebirth #1 and Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #1-7
Although Green Lanterns continually astounds while charting new territory and focusing on rookies Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz, Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps is more so for those who prefer a steady diet of meat and potatoes as it were; this is a series that takes familiar concepts and expands upon them. In other words, if you’re looking for a kickass story featuring your favorite ringslingers, you’re certainly in the right place.
Facing the daunting task of picking up where the New 52 left off, writer Robert Venditti reignites the Hal Jordan-Sinestro rivalry as the latter has now occupied Warworld, placing it at the center of the universe where Oa once stood. Yes, you will eventually reacquaint yourself with the likes of John Stewart and Kilowog,...

2016 was a huge year for Mahershala Ali. After making an impact on comic book fans with his impressive turn as Cottonmouth in Marvel and Netflix’s Luke Cage, the actor received a great deal of praise for his work in Moonlight, a bona fide Oscar favourite until La La Land came along.
Though he’s already signed up to star in Alita: Battle Angel, you have to believe that there’s more on the horizon for him, especially with his star on the rise. Could he possibly find himself in a superhero film next? There’s been no indication of that just yet, but it wouldn’t surprise us in the least and now, following the emergence of a shortlist of stars being considered for the role of Hal Jordan in Green Lantern Corps, some cool new fan art has made its way online that imagines what Ali could look like as John Stewart.

Comic Book Reviews: DC Round Up Week 09-14-2016
DC is settling into its new focused style of content storytelling, and producing some fantastic stories thanks to the new approach. While mostly everything has been a hit, there have been a few snags as well. One issue I keep having is trying to figure out how it all “fits” together in a bigger picture. Some books seem closer connected others; some appear not connected all to the larger DC Universe. This might not be a problem for most, it can be a little jarring for me, when I’m reading Batgirl is running around Japan in her book, but is also hanging out with Huntress and Black Canary in the Birds of Prey series, while appearing in Nightwing and referencing her time currently in Japan, but Black Canary appears in Green Arrow without any indication she’s even been to Gotham or around Batgirl.

Hopefully, the right people are reading this and it will happen.
Ok, back on track. According to Latino Review, a source close the Dceu let them know that we could be treated to not just one, not just two, but three of our favorite Green Lanterns from Earth.

Next on our list of salutes to BBC Three geek favourites: Toby Whithouse's much-missed Being Human...
It started off as a joke, a silly fantasy twist on a generic sitcom premise, but Being Human somehow, against more odds than we remember years later, ended up becoming one of the defining British genre shows of the decade. It was both of its time back in the vampire-saturated late noughties and classic in the way few shows manage to be. It was lightning in a bottle, and much of its power came from just how unexpected it was.
Back in 2009, BBC Three wasn't known for quality genre drama. The BBC arm aimed at tempting the eyeballs of the notoriously difficult to engage 16-34 age bracket, the channel had been going through an identity crisis since its inception and needed something to define it as an entity in and of itself.

From his hilarious performance as Hal in Malcom in the Middle to his career-making portrayal of Walter White in Breaking Bad, you’d be hard-pressed to find someone not familiar with the amazing work of Bryan Cranston. However, there are some interesting facts about him that even the most enthusiastic fan might not know. Here are 12 things you might know about Bryan Cranston. Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images 1.

"Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth." -- Louis (Danny Aiello) in "Jacob's Ladder" I first viewed "Jacob's Ladder" on VHS several years after its release in theaters, when it received a lukewarm response from audiences (it grossed around $26 million by the end of its run) and received a polarizing response from critics: Roger Ebert called it "powerfully written, directed and acted" while The Washington Post's Hal Hinson charged it with being "garbled and cliched."

We grow invested in our friends on screen over the years; spending Christmas with them is a rite of passage, a chance for us to share tradition from our world with the fictional ones we see on screen. Some shows embrace the season wholeheartedly, characters in good spirits and enjoying the trappings of the season; others skew a little darker, bringing the more oppressive, burdensome side of the holidays to life.

Idris Elba and Luther's impressive cast continue to be its trump card, proving that the series 4 resurrection was well worth it...
This review contains spoilers.
Eighteen months have passed since the BBC aired the last episode of Luther.
That finale was a thrill ride that seemed to tie up many of the series' loose ends and gave a fittingly bittersweet ending for Idris Elba's mercurial detective. There have been rumours of a movie but the series looked done and dusted for a long time. Yet here we are, Christmas 2015, and it's back.
The episode opens with scenes reminiscent of the third season. The premise is simple enough — a woman waits for her husband to come to their new home from work and she hears noises and creaks around the house. The influences from horror cinema are as evident here as they have been in previous series.

During this year’s San Diego Comic Con, concept art was shown off from almost all of the upcoming DC Comics movies. Unfortunately, no one managed to grab any photos of it, though it was reported at the time that the artwork for the Green Lantern reboot (titled Green Lantern Corps) featured Hal Jordan and John Stewart.
Well, a report from the Professional Days of Cinema of Sorrento convention in Italy saw that same artwork once again put on display, and a description has now surfaced which appears to reveal the movie’s two lead characters.
Here’s the translation from the site, and while it’s a little hard to understand in places, you shouldn’t have a problem getting the general gist of what they’re trying to get across:

When news of a Green Lantern reboot first surfaced, it was mentioned that the plan was to focus on two or more human members of the Corps. Warner Bros. later quietly confirmed that the title of the 2020 release is Green Lantern Corps, and while most of us have assumed that the two leads will be Hal Jordan and John Stewart, that hasn't been officially revealed (there are also those who believe Hal will be left on the shelf due to the dismal performance of the 2011 movie). Well, Cinefilos may have an answer for us.

It’s easy to forget that our favorite comedians can rock the heavy stuff, too! The best actors make us laugh and cry (sometimes in the same breath), and can move seamlessly from genre to genre. Here are 12 sitcom stars who have (impressively) transitioned from comedy to drama. Bryan CranstonWell before his groundbreaking role in “Breaking Bad,” Cranston killed it as goofball patriarch Hal on the Fox sitcom “Malcolm in the Middle.” Cranston also stretched his comedy chops in the mid ’90s as Jerry’s dentist (and nemesis) Dr. Whatley on several episodes of “Seinfeld,” and even helped coin the term “re-gifting” when his character repurposed a label maker given to him by Elaine. Sarah SilvermanAn undeniable funny lady, Silverman takes a serious turn in the film “I Smile Back,” in which she battles (many) demons as a troubled, depressed, and drug addled suburban mom.

If Paul Walker were alive now, today would be his 42nd birthday. A huge part of the late, slick, blue-eyed actor’s legacy is the “Fast and the Furious” franchise. The latest installment, “Furious 7,” was hugely successful at the box office (it’s the third-highest grossing movie of 2015 so far) and was also quite a winner with the critics (it has 81 percent on Rotten Tomatoes). It’s become a hugely successful franchise, in large part thanks to the screen presence of the Walker-Vin Diesel duo, but it wasn’t so clear the series would become a Hollywood winner back in 2001, when the first film was released. 2001’s “The Fast and the Furious” wasn’t a heist movie, as the series has become. It was a street-racing thriller. And it didn’t have the dramatic heft critics would come to appreciate in the series. The thrills worked for some critics,...

DC Comics’ Green Lantern series has been popular ever since its conception in 1940. Alan Scott, Hal Jordon and others have all used their magical rings to fight evil in Coast City. Now, the fight against crime has moved from the streets to online – casino.netbet.co.uk to be precise. Here, fans of the comic series can play the new Green Lantern slot game that’s taking the world by storm.
Bearing all the trademarks of the DC Comics company, the game flawlessly replicates the characters from the original comics, so fans can see their favourite fictional superheroes come to life with help from some impressive computer generated imagery and immaculate graphics.

Falling Skies felt like wheel-spin this week, but its portrayal of war continues to impress. Here's Ron's review...
This review contain spoilers.
5.4 Pope Breaks Bad
It seems that the characters on Falling Skies have had a hard time adjusting to the world of war. They've been fighting for three years, and admirably, they haven't stopped fighting. That's one of the reasons Cochise and the other Volm are impressed by the inferior but troublesome race of man-animals using primitive gunpowder weapons to bring down Espheni. Of course, not all humans have the power of positive thinking best demonstrated by the Mason family. Some humans find themselves damaged by the war, haunted by those that have been lost (or those yet to be lost), becoming tired and hungry and traumatized. Some humans are ready to turn on their own kind.
The weak link in the Second Mass is, as always, John Pope.

Irrational Man is the 45th feature that Woody Allen has directed, but what’s perhaps more shocking is that it’s his first film with actress Parker Posey. Triumphantly wearing the crown of “Queen of the Indies” during her prolific 1990s, it’s a shock and wonder Posey hasn’t already worked with Allen, who could easily be labeled the Godfather of the genre.
While Irrational Man may be the start of a fruitful collaboration between the two, Posey has a long history of working with other notable American independent filmmakers. Whether as the star or as a cameo she has the ability to bring a jolt of energy that feels strong enough alone to power a complete film. When utilizing Posey, it’s the director who finds their own way to harness her energy and shape it into the memorable moments that often bear multiple viewings. Looking back on...

Steven Spielberg-produced alien invasion show “Falling Skies” had its final Comic-Con panel today, as the show nears its series finale later this summer. The show graduated from a smaller room at the San Diego Convention Center where its cast was the past few years, to Ballroom 20, which holds about 5,000 people. It was a panel that got plenty of laughs and cheers from that crowd and that showed off the charm, intelligence and humor that this cast has. Read on for highlights from the “Falling Skies” panel. Hal has a particularly “nasty,” “bloody” scene coming up soon — maybe with Pope? Drew Roy teased a scene for his character that’s in episode 5 this season. Here’s how he described it.

Kirby has had a long, interesting life as Nintendo's favorite little pink hero. Here's a look back at the character's strange history...
The Wii U finally got a burst of positive momentum in 2014'a second half with games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros, giving the beleaguered console a much needed sales boost. Now, with a number of major titles scattered throughout the 2015 release calendar, a lot of Nintendo fans are hoping that this is the year that the company fully capitalises on the Wii U's untapped potential.
To that end, Nintendo is keeping things going in the right direction with Kirby And The Rainbow Curse, out now in the Us and due for release later this year in Europe as Kirby And The Rainbow Paintbrush.
Kirby has his fans for sure, but the character doesn't seem to spark the same passion among Nintendo enthusiasts as the company's other flagship franchises.
