At one point this season, it seemed quite possible there would be no Reign Season 4. After this season finale, Reign Season 3 Episode 18, I am gutted, heartbroken, and then gutted again.
And I'm also totally ready for Reign Season 4 and finding out exactly where this series is going now that Mary is all alone.
If you've read just about any of my other reviews, particularly of CW shows, you know that I have beef with the fact that literally no one ever gets to be happy. Someone is always breaking up with someone else, running away, being, I don't know, kidnapped, or dying.
Tonight we got not one, but Two gut-wrenching deaths, and I don't even know what life is right now.
Lola is dead. Lola is dead, and I cannot even.

People have been arguing the “who was comics’ first costumed hero” question for decades. Some feel it was Mandrake the Magician, by Lee Falk and Phil Davis (1934), others cite the truly obscure Red Knight created by John Welch and Jack McGuire, and still others prefer to credit E.C. Segar’s Popeye (1929). But I think it’s safe to say that most comics fans and scholars bestow that honor upon The Phantom, created by Lee Falk and Ray Moore 80 years ago this past week.
Neither Mandrake nor Popeye are “costumed heroes.” They perform their feats of daring in their regular work clothes. Whereas the Red Knight got his start in 1934 as a guy named Bullet Benton, he did not don the Red Knight costume and, therefore, the costumed hero persona until April of 1940. I suspect somebody at the Register and Tribune Syndicate took a gander at the McClure Syndicate’s success with Superman.

If a leaked online listing is to be believed, FromSoftware could be aiming to take a significant chunk of change from gamer’s pockets when Dark Souls III launches next year. According to United Arab Emirates retailer Geekay Games, two different special editions of the upcoming title could launch alongside the standard release.
While nothing official has been confirmed, according to the online listing, there will be both a Collector’s Edition and Premium Edition of Dark Souls III. Helping fuel speculation is the fact that two images, one for each edition, popped up alongside the listing. Both editions of the title would released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and should be available at launch, which according to Geekay Games, is April 12th, 2016.
Special releases for video games typically carry a steep cost, and these two are no different. Priced at Aed $499 ($135 U.S.), the Collector’s Edition of the...

It’s hard to believe something like 1991’s The Fisher King was a studio backed effort. An anomaly both as a mainstream cinematic event and within Gilliam’s own idiosyncratic filmography, the film received as much panning as praise upon its theatrical release (shortly after a premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where it was part of a three way tie with Zhang Yimou and Philippe Garrel for the Silver Lion). In the decades since, the film has garnered something of a cult following, as have many of Gilliam’s earlier works of note, filled with an often unbridled zaniness necessitating time to marinate for full appreciation. Stuffed to the point of emotional, narrative, and logical imbalance, there are as many moments of beauty as inelegance. But Gilliam’s ambitious odd-couple outfit, based on a script from Richard Lagravenese, revels in its own unique flavoring.

“I Love New York In June”
By Raymond Benson
I had seen Terry Gilliam’s The Fisher King only once, back in 1991 on its initial release, and I liked it very much. As years went on, though, my memories of it were such that I considered it to be atypical of Gilliam’s work. For me, he’s always been a hit-and-miss director; some of his pictures are absolute classics and others not so much. There is a certain beautiful sloppiness to his direction; to use a painting analogy, it’s as if he throws a lot of paint on the canvas and maybe it’ll turn out to be something coherent, funny, and meaningful. Gilliam, I think, is much more of a visual designer than a people-director—his films always look great, usually very original and envelope-pushing in their conception and the execution of the visuals. They are often big pictures on large canvases.

Chicago – The movie musical seems to revive every year, and writer/director Richard Lagravenese puts his spin on the genre with a modern touch. A couple, portrayed by Jeremy Jordan and Anna Kendrick, goes through the ups and downs of a relationship while belting out appropriate tunes in “The Last Five Years.”
The film is based on the stage play by Jason Robert Brown, and is the type of musical that is entirely sung. The songs are sad (“Still Hurting”), hilarious (“Summer in Ohio”) and poignant (“If I Didn’t Believe in You”) and are rendered by the couple in a direct and modern approach through Lagravenese’s direction.

The director, who made The Fisher King in 1991 with Robin Williams in the lead role, said that seeing the film in the wake of the actor’s suicide cast it in a new light
The film director and Monty Python member Terry Gilliam has said that The Fisher King, the 1991 film he made with Robin Williams, has been cast in a completely new light in the wake of the actor’s suicide.
Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Gilliam said he rewatched the film ahead of a Blu-ray release by Criterion; the sequences in which Williams’ character is pursued by the Red Knight, a tormentor from his own imagination, were given an eerie significance. “I didn’t have to push him because he believed that was true. He knew the darker side and what it means to have demons,” Gilliam said, adding that Williams helped to turn the scenes from “cutesy...

Of the many friendships the late Robin Williams formed over the course of his career, he returned to work with Terry Gilliam frequently. The actor first popped up in "The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen," took a leading role in "The Fisher King," has a cameo in "The Zero Theorem" and a voice part in the upcoming "Absolutely Anything" featuring most of the members of Monty Python (and despite reports to the contrary, Williams did complete his work on the movie before his passing). The director recently reflected on Williams' commitment to his work during production for "The Fisher King." Discussing the "Red Knight" sequence in the movie (see below), Gilliam shares how much the actor poured into the performance. “This scene wasn’t a challenge to shoot as far as effects are concerned, but it was very hard from an acting point of view, because Robin was tearing his guts out emotionally.

Terry Gilliam, whose new film The Zero Theorem opens in theaters on September 19, spoke with Vulture yesterday about the most difficult scenes and shots of his career, for a feature we’ll run soon. One of the movies he discussed with us is The Fisher King, in which Robin Williams played a homeless man whose life as an academic had been destroyed by the trauma of witnessing his wife’s brutal murder. The role may have been Williams’s greatest and most-challenging performance, and Gilliam singled out a scene from late in the 1991 drama as being particularly painful to remember in the wake of the actor’s passing. In this excerpt from our long conversation about his work, the director talks about the challenges of filming that critical scene, which finds Williams’s character, seized by memories of that tragic final night with his wife, tormented by the Red Knight,...

★★★☆☆ Equestrian artist Alfred Munnings' love affair and disastrous marriage to aspiring painter Florence Carter-Wood is the subject of Christopher Menaul's involving costume drama Summer in February (2013). It's 1912 and Munnings (Dominic Cooper) is a prominent member of the bohemian Lamorna Group, a colony of artists living and practising their craft in Cornwall. Fleeing London, an oppressive father and an unwanted suitor, Florence (Emily Browning) joins her brother here. Her fragile beauty and sensitive nature consequently attract the attention of local land agent and army officer Gilbert Evans (Dan Stevens).
A prolific painter, Munnings is much admired by others in the colony, including acclaimed artists, Laura (Hattie Morahan) and Harold Knight (Shaun Dingwall). Munnings can have any woman he desires but is also drawn to Florence. She models for him and before long he is proposing marriage. Florence accepts but the couple discover, too late, that their hasty courtship obscures a multitude of differences.

Emily Browning is walking a nicely diverse career path after coming to the fore when starring opposite Jim Carrey in the much underrated Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events and the double bill of Sucker Punch and Sleeping Beauty were great indicators of the varied choices she is making.
We’ve got the first image from her latest film, Summer in February, for you today and Christopher Menaul’s film on a group of artists in the approach of the First World War is due to reveal itself by way of footage screened at this year’s Cannes Film Festival which begins next week. Browning stars with Dan Stevens and Dominic Cooper and Speranza13 Media have just announced they have picked international sales rights for the film.

In 1991, director Terry Gilliam turned from grand spectacle to moving drama with The Fisher King. Andrew looks back at a well-acted, visually stunning movie…
Effects-laden visual feasts of the imagination are all very well and brilliant, but they are also, apparently, a total hassle to make. Coupled with the levels of studio interference, hostility, and arguments that ensued, Terry Gilliam found himself in the position of just wanting to make something relatively simple. Hence The Fisher King, released in 1991. A budget of $24 million returned a box office of roughly $42 million; it was as critically acclaimed as ever, but a very different beast from the director's previous films.
Written by Richard Lagravenese (writer of Cuaron's A Little Princess, Eastwood's The Bridges Of Madison County, and, sadly, writer and director of two-hour guff fest Ps. I Love You), The Fisher King is a very 90s (fashion, music, yuppie culture, Jeff Bridges'...

Remember the first time you picked up a classic children’s story and disappeared in Neverland, Wonderland or Narnia? How the characters flitting across the page seemed so outrageous and original and impossibly fun? And do you remember how disappointing it was to close those books and realize that the new friends you’ve grown to love will never be new to you again. With Tim Burton’s reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s "Alice in Wonderland", the world has a second chance to meet the creatures of Wonderland. And every one of them is just as wonderful as you remember them.
Just like the audience watching her on the screen, it’s been a while since Alice Kingsley (In Treatment’s Mia Wasikowska) visited Wonderland (which, as a side note, is actually called Underland. Chalk it up to Alice’s bad hearing). So long, in fact, that the now 19-year...
