BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Hans Zimmer to Score Batman vs. Superman

The 2016 film gets its director. Story by: Matt Cummings We're happy to report that multi Oscar-nominated Composer Hans Zimmer will score the 2016 release of Batman vs. Superman, which will marks the second time he and Director Zack Snyder will collaborate, the first being 2013's Man of Steel . While Zimmer was concerned about singing on, due entirely to his work on the first three Batman films with Christian Bale, he's onboard now, adding an important part to a film that needs good news right now.  We talked about the game of Scheduling Chicken that Warner Bros. is playing with Marvel over sharing the release date, which has come under intense and negative reaction from fans. Zimmer's a creator of some of film's most iconic music in the past 20 years, includes Broken Arrow , Batman Begins , Pirates of the Carribean , and literally a dozen more.  His drum-heavy marches mixed with vocals has revolutionized an industry that used to employ orchest

What's Next for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

 Story by Matt Cummings **Warning: This post is loaded with spoilers for Episode 17 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. **   If you missed Turn, Turn, Turn  on ABC last week - and it looks like many of you did - then you missed the AofS  we had been hoping for since the pilot.  The series is in freefall now, with news of HYDRA infiltrating the spy agency, revealing sleeper agents even on Coulson's team.  With S.H.IE.L.D. in shambles and Victoria Hand dead, Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) and what remains of his team are on the run, cut off from their support system and with a new-old enemy in their rear view mirror.  The video above features the cast reacting to Turn , but it's the last five episodes that will determine whether the series returns for Season 2.  Stuck in 3rd gear for the first third of the season, viewers need answers to several burning questions, some of which we include below: Who's that blue dude?  While searching for a cure after Skye was

TV Review: Crisis "Designated Allies" By: Brandon Wolfe

TV Review: Crisis "Designated Allies" By: Brandon Wolfe Francis Gibson contacts his wife Janice via a cell phone stashed in the cupboard in the kitchen and, using a distorted voice to retain anonymity, instructs her to invite CIA Director Widener to come to the house so that she can poison him. As has been the case with all the parents on this show thus far, she complies with very little hesitation. When Widener arrives, he expresses his condolences to Janice over the kidnapping of her daughter and husband, but is able to quickly figure out what is going on and refuses the tea she presents him. However, Gibson, in accordance with villain law, intended this to happen and it was all part of the plan. His real goal was to get Widener’s guard down, using the clear attraction the director has to Janice as bait to allow Gibson’s team the time to remotely hack Widener’s phone for security access. Finley and Dunn learn that the soldiers recovered from the Pakistani embass

TV Review: Hannibal “Yakimono” By: Brandon Wolfe

TV Review: Hannibal “Yakimono” By: Brandon Wolfe Bryan Fuller’s ‘ Hannibal ’ has quietly become one of television’s finest shows. Taking the characters from Thomas Harris’ series of novels, the show functions as a prequel to the events of the initial novel, ‘ Red Dragon ’ (which was adapted with style by Michael Mann in 1986’s ‘ Manhunter ’ and with bare-bones competence by Brett Ratner in 2002’s ‘ Red Dragon ’), setting up the working relationship that cannibalistic, yet refined, serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter ( Mads Mikkelsen ) had with FBI profiler Will Graham ( Hugh Dancy ) before the latter put the former in prison. Not unlike its titular character, ‘Hannibal’ is essentially a cable series wearing the skin of a network series. It’s daring and challenging in ways few network shows have the stones to attempt. It is also one of the best-looking shows currently on television and almost certainly the goriest in network history. Week after week, the series gets away with horrificall
