At least, that was my first thought after seeing The Dark Knight Rises (not in IMAX, unfortunately, but that’s neither here nor there). Then I thought that maybe I felt that way because, even after seeing Batman Begins, the brilliance […]

Hannibal’s David Slade Talks Prequels, Light and Darkness and Long Pig!
One of the big attractions, for me at least, of Hannibal is that David Slade (Awake, Breaking Bad, Hard Candy – and whom I Have forgiven for that detour into the world of sparkly vampires) is directing the pilot, remaining as an executive producer on the series – and may direct more episodes (schedules permitting). […]
Here They Are: The 64th Primetime Emmy Award Nominees!
Once again, the folks in charge of the Emmys have provided their usual mixed bag of nominations for the best of the preceding year’s television.

First Look: Revolution
As we get closer to the new season, NBC has made a number of videos available in support of its unique take on a post-apocalyptic world. In Revolution, from J.J. Abrams (Alias, Fringe, Lost) and Eric Kripke (Supernatural), the apocalyspe isn’t some nuclear holocaust, it’s something much subtler and yet, far more pervasive: everything run […]
