Overall, this film definitely has some teeth and will get us viewers through to Blockbuster Season. Review by: Erika Ashley During the live broadcasting of a financial entertainment television show, hosted by Lee Gates, a troubled and angry investor and show viewer, Kyle Budwell, takes Lee hostage on air. In a previous episode Lee guarantees his viewers that buying shares of IBIS, an up and coming corporation, would be a safe bet and could earn investors hand over fistfuls of cash in return. However, due to an unforeseen “glitch” in their system, IBIS loses $800M overnight. Their CEO goes missing momentarily and as a result thousands of investors are turning out their pockets and find themselves empty handed. With every last penny of his money invested and lost, Kyle takes matters in his own hands and decides to punish Lee and IBIS live on air for the public to see.

According to deadline Liam Neeson is set to star in a remake of the hit Norwegian film In Order Of Disappearance , to be directed by Hans Petter Molland, helmer of the original that debuted to acclaim in Berlin in 2014. Frank Baldwin is writing the script. Neeson will play the protagonist role originated by Stellan Skarsgard . He’s a snowplow driver who doesn’t get worked up about much, until his son is murdered and it is made to look like an overdose, by criminals involved in drug deals. It turns the mild-mannered man’s attention from snow to body removal and becomes a tense action thriller with Dirty Harry-esque intensity, where bad guys pile up like snow drifts when the killers suspect a rival gang. The remake is being re-imagined to take place in a U.S. resort like Aspen with a different set of ethnic rivals than the Euro version, so Neeson’s character stays behind the wheel of the snow plow. Neeson is prepping to star in the Peter Landesman-directed Felt, playing former F...

There has been some question on whether or not Supergirl , the Melissa Benoist series, would be renewed for a second season. CBS, made no secrets of its disappointment with ratings compared to the high per episode production cost. But a reprieve has come in the form of the CW, American homebase for Arrow, The Flash and DC's Legends Of Tomorrow , which has picked the show up. As to the physical make-up of the series, it will be interesting to see what impact the shifting of networks has considering that the CW does not fund to the same extent that CBS does. Unknown is whether or not the entire cast will make the network jump along with Benoist due to potential fiscal issues. Already there's been talk of production making a cost-cutting move to Vancouver, where the other DC series are shot by their producer, Greg Berlanti. This past season Grant Gustin's The Flash crossed over to Supergirl pretty seamlessly, so from a creative point of view this would seem to open up m...

The signs had been there for a while – Agent Carter had not exactly enjoyed the highest ratings and then star Hayley Atwell was cast as the lead in a new show (Conviction). And so today comes the final word: Peggy Carter has had her last adventure in its current form. While two seasons doesn't feel enough for a character who proved to be dynamic, funny, smart and capable, the series itself – which was used to fill the gap between the halves of Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. (renewed a while ago) – never performed to the satisfaction of US network ABC. You could almost – spoiler alert here for anyone who has yet to see Captain America: Civil War, skip to the next paragraph – see her funeral scene in the latest Marvel movie as the final warning that we won't be seeing Peggy on screen for a while. And in related Marvel TV news, S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off Marvel's Most Wanted has yet again failed to live up to its title. The show, which was to have chronicled the ad...

The so-so Independence Day 20th Anniversary Edition isn't so with top-shelf audio and video. Review by Matt Cummings For the 20 years, I've suffered among cinephiles convinced that Independence Day is a classic Science-Fiction film. First and foremost, ID is Sci-Fi (there is a difference): think substance over style, character development over big loud epic battles. Think Oblivion or Blade Runner vs Starship Troopers . So while the 20th Anniversary edition of Independence Day has arrived with a cleaned up picture and all of its supplements finally intact, it's still big, loud, cheap, and cheesy. The Movie - 3/5 The lives of people around the world circa 1996 are interrupted when proof of aliens finally arrives to Earth: a massive spacecraft with dozens of city-sized ships surround the planet and descend to every major city, affecting Americans in various ways. For embattled President Thomas J. Whitmore (Bill Pullman), the news focuses his troubled ...
