“It’s unlike any other period piece,” Weisz says during our interview. “This isn’t a dusty museum piece; it’s alive, it’s raw, it’s visceral, and it’s quite rude.” Among the other adjectives Weisz uses, she insists it’s even “bitchy.” Deliciously so too. Working from a screenplay by Tony McNamara that treats dialogue like arrows dipped in acidic wit, the film opens with Weisz’s Lady Sarah essentially ruling England by being the righthand-woman of Olivia Colman’s often distracted and petulant Queen....

Tempest’s plotline is one of the series’ most sensitive, combining sexual assault (by a Mithraic cleric), teen pregnancy (on the planet Kepler-22b, no less), and pro-life issues—the last because android caretaker Mother (Amanda Collin) will not allow abortion to even be considered. Traumatized and disillusioned by the church that was supposed to protect her, Tempest is forced to embrace her approaching fate as a mother, often clashing with Mother’s own brutal parenting style....

Taking on a new adaptation of a classic novel is daunting enough, but factoring in that the story was previously translated to the screen by Alfred Hitchcock, produced by David O. Selznick and starring Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine – a film that would win the Oscar for Best Picture – makes it a particularly bold move. As we point out in our review though, it works, and in part because Wheatley has hewn closer to the book in some respects but also added modern themes and sensibilities – particularly towards the end....

Of course, Resident Evil Village is nothing if not a celebration of horror that pays special tribute to the Universal horror era of the ’30s and ’40s. We’ve already spoken about how Lady Dimitrescu’s daughters honor Dracula’s brides, but you’ve also got Dimitrescu herself who invokes elements of Carmilla and Dracula. You’ve also got a werewolf paying homage to The Wolf Man, the villagers themselves invoking images of countless helpless villagers of classic horror, and a witch that reminds us of all those witches in black and white Universal horror films gone by....

There is much focus on how to secure front ends like Apache or Nginx, but when it comes to a backend, we often ignore it. If you are working in a critical production environment where every minute counts you may want to explore all the options to secure as much you can. IBM WebSphere Deployment Manager Console is a gateway for all the changes you do for application, and you must consider restricting access from authorized IP’s or hosts....

Nevertheless, mother and daughter seem to lead a relatively happy life, even if mom sidesteps her requests for an iPhone and Chloe is disappointed that she has not heard back yet from Washington State University regarding her college application. But one day Chloe discovers something that doesn’t quite make sense, and suddenly realizes that her life with Diane–who literally controls her daughter’s carefully calibrated life from the moment she wakes up until the second her head hits the pillow at night–is not quite what it seems....

It’s an admirable route, similar to how Michael Shur wrapped up The Good Place, but it means we have to say goodbye to one of TV’s greatest families: prickly and warm, ribbing each other as often as they support one another, the Roses were a class act. The series also introduced viewers to most of the cast—barring legendary character actors Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara—who were formerly unknowns. But as far as career momentum goes, it’s a hell of a push....

Shameless Season 11 Episode 12 “We’re still here. We’re surviving, right?” Most people would likely not argue that Shameless’s best years are behind it. Showtime, its cable network, even briefly had a reputation for bleeding series dry long after they should have ended. However, even the most egregious examples of this like Weeds, Californication, and Dexter still pale in comparison to Shameless‘s episode count and none of them ever lost their series’ lead....

She-Hulk might be a new character to the MCU, but she’s already proven herself to be at the center of the franchise’s superheroic world. In addition to being cousin to the Hulk, and thus privy to what Steve Rogers can do all night, Jen Walters’s job in superhuman law brings her into contact with other aspects of the superhero world, from small-timers the Wrecking Crew to super-influencer Titania. Even more than a sitcom about a super-lawyer, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has been a tour of the cottage industries built around superheroes....

At the end of their recent presentation, Konami aired the first trailer for Silent Hill f: a new Silent Hill game from Neobards Entertainment (the developers of Resident Evil Re:Verse). Unfortunately, the trailer did not give us much to go on. There’s definitely a Midsommar-like folk horror vibe to the whole thing (and the game strangely takes place in 1960s Japan, which suggests a kind of reboot, side story, or reimagining), but this trailer was obviously meant to be as vague as possible....

Without further ado, here’s everything coming to Sky Cinema in May… Premieres Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood – May 1st Quentin Tarantino‘s 60s-set tale stars Leonardo DiCaprio as TV actor Rick Dalton and Brad Pitt as his stunt double, Cliff Booth, while a twisting LA story leads up to the murders of Sharon Tate and Leno LaBianca at the hands of Manson family members. Kinda. Prince Philippe Charming is cursed to propose to every woman he meets, and has to find his true love by his 21st birthday or face the prospect of never being king....

Snowpiercer Season 2 Episode 2 A show like Snowpiercer seems tailor-made for the winter. After all, it’s cold outside, so you might as well stay in. Sure, you’re probably still quarantined with your household after a long year, but at least you’re not stuck on a train. At least you’re not stuck on a train rattling around a frozen death world eating canned meat while waiting to become fertilizer (or canned meat yourself)....

Snowpiercer Season 3 Episode 3 It’s a credit to the creative team on Snowpiercer that they always figure out a way to make train versus train incidents exciting. When Big Alice first showed up, it was a thrill and a surprise. Now, with Snowpiercer and Big Alice involved in a game of cat and mouse, it’s still surprising. There might only be so many places where trains could come into direct confrontation while on the same piece of track, but Snowpiercer usually finds a way, and the results tend to be very entertaining....

“I’ve had the last two days off, and I’ve got tomorrow off as well,” he says casually. “I’m chomping at the bit to get back to work and back on set. But the film’s going really well.” Spider-Man 3 (as everyone’s calling it until we get a real title) is scheduled to come out later this year and will mark Holland’s sixth appearance as the wall-crawling superhero, aka Peter Parker....

As the season finale looms on the horizon Star Trek: Discovery attempts to begin pulling together its disparate Season 3 plot threads into something like a cohesive story. “Su’Kal” brings the villainous Osyraa and her Emerald Chain back into the picture, investigates the mysterious Kelpien ship that sent the distress call a few episodes back, and finally gives us an answer to what likely caused the Burn in the first place....

In particular, Lee was responsible for designing much of the interior for the latest iteration of the world’s most famous starship. We had a chat with him to learn the secrets of this version of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (no blood A, B, C or D!) Here’s what we learned. The TOS Enterprise Got a Lot Right First Time Jonathan and his team were not the first to redesign the Enterprise for the 2020s....

Star Wars: Andor Episode 4 Before 2016, the character of Mon Mothma was mostly the answer to a trivia question. Although she is ostensibly the leader of the entire Rebel Alliance, Mon Mothma doesn’t even appear until Return of the Jedi, and then, only for one scene, to explain the plan to kill the Emperor and destroy the second Death Star. We don’t see her during the Battle of Endor, and she doesn’t stop by for an Ewok hug in the end, either....

Obi-Wan Kenobi continues to pull on the heartstrings when it comes to the Jedi Master’s relationship with his former apprentice. Brought together by Qui-Gon and growing up as brothers-in-arms, their connection informs everything Darth Vader has become since his fall to the dark side. More is revealed about both Vader in “Part 5”, and we also learn more about Reva’s motivations as well as what her connection is to Kenobi....

Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 6 Obi-Wan Kenobi is perhaps a dish best served in small portions. After five episodes full of cutting confrontations, episode six feels repetitive and contrived. Characters clash because they need to, when they need to. Glimmers of chemistry, and Star Wars tropes that come off as endearing rather than weak links, crop up here and there. But overall, the final adventure for Leia and Obi-Wan fails to tie the series together because it’s too busy trying to tie all of the franchise together....
