Williams, Charlotte Rampling, Brendan Gleeson, Essie Davis Writers: Michael Lesslie and Adam Cooper & Bill Collage, based on the Ubisoft game Director: Justin Kurzel Distributor: 20th Century Fox Release Date: December 21, 2016 There are plenty of movies adapted from videogames. What makes ASSASSIN’S CREED notable among these is that it actively tries to look like a videogame, even though it’s got big-name actors and what appears to be impressive practical production value.

Meet the Bisaan, a “cicada-based” species that, like the locust, comes along infrequently but wreaks devastation when it does. There’s a nice little fakeout at the beginning of “The Chitters.” We’re on the outskirts of a small town in Colorado, where we meet 12-year-old Jesse (Valin Shinyei) […]Read On »

SUPERNATURAL: THE COMPLETE NINTH SEASON | © 2014 Warner Home Video

When Eric Kripke created SUPERNATURAL, it’s a safe bet that neither he nor the CW network had any idea that the mélange of brotherly love, monsters, mythology, dead-serious drama and surreal comedy would be one of the few shows that would make it to twelve seasons (so far). This weekend, Southern California fans of SUPERNATURAL can commune with their peers and question the series’ actors – including stars Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester), Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester), Misha Collins (Castiel) and Mark A. Sheppard (Crowley) – at the Friday-Sunday Nov. 11-13 Creation Entertainment SUPERNATURAL Official Convention at the Burbank Marriott Hotel. […]Read On »

Staz Nair has part of the title role in Fox Network’s production ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW: LET’S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN, which premieres Thursday, October 20. Based on the 1976 movie, which in turn is based on Richard O’Brien’s oft-revived stage musical, the new ROCKY HORROR pays homage to the film’s cult hit status by cutting from the actors to a separate audience that responds as midnight screening attendees have done for forty years. For those who have somehow missed the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW phenomenon, it’s the story of an innocent young couple, Brad and Janet (Ryan McCartan […]Read On »
