Before you see anything, you hear the sound, the sharp pop as a Baton Rouge police officer fires a Taser into Alton Sterling’s body. If this were a movie, Sterling would be instantly incapacitated and drop to the ground. Maybe he’d go stiff and topple backward, like Jonah Hill in “22 Jump Street,” or his eyes would bug out like Zach Galifanakis’ did in “The Hangover,” but he’d be down, and fundamentally unharmed.
That’s not what happened, as anyone who’s watched the video of Sterling’s killing knows. It’s graphic and disturbing enough that I’m not linking to it, but it’s easy to find. So is the footage captured by Diamond Reynolds after an officer in Falcon Heights, Minnesota fatally shot her boyfriend, Philando Castile.

In the 40 years since he made his daytime-tv debut, Vincent Irizzary had seen nothing like it — a non-Emmys red carpet event to kick off an evening celebrating soap operas, namely two that had been plucked from the ashes and given life anew.
Irizzary plays David Hayward, a highly duplicitous doctor on All My Children, which like fellow former ABC serial One Life to Live was reborn this week on Hulu and iTunes, via Prospect Park’s The Online Network. The actor calls the dramas’ return, in a new medium, none too small a miracle.

Hey y'all! Are you ready for some Os-Cars?? This year, Billy Crystal hosts, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Nick Nolte, Christopher Plummer and Martin Scorsese number among the celebrated nominees.... Wtf is it 1985?? Yes, the Academy is going retro, celebrating the history of movies, and not just by lauding "The Artist" and "Hugo." Yeah, there are some newbies and left-field pics, but those kinda feel like shots in the dark at attempting to stay relevant (Rooney Mara, so edgy right now). Who could forget the breaking news from this week that the Academy is only old white men? Total Shocker. But we will attempt to find some fun in the proceedings, and dream of a George Clooney and Tilda Swinton hosted ceremony, where they perform a song and dance routine in matching tuxedos... what, oh sorry I drifted off into a daydream there. Instead, we will try and muddle through...

Ever since it was first announced, supernatural thriller Altitude has never ceased to intrigue. After the Lovecraftian behemoth tantalisingly glimpsed in the promotional cover art, Altitude has promised an ascent from the usual sea of remakes and flood of sequels.
Directed by comic book veteran and filmaker Kaare Andrews, and starring Jessica Lowndes (Autopsy) and Julianna Guill (Friday the 13th) alongside newcomers Landon Liboiron, Jake Weary and Ryan Donowho, Altitude follows five friends who board a plane for a weekend escape. Things take a turn for the nightmarish, however, when the group find themselves flying into a storm and entering into a confrontation with…well, see trailer (via Shock Till You Drop) below for details.
Shot in Canada, Altitude promises to be Andrews’ first foray into feature filmmaking. Having proved himself with music videos and short films including Glimpse and SpaceMan, he was tasked with directing a screenplay by Paul A. Birkett.
