Raw, riveting and relentlessly compelling, Marvel’s Jessica Jones: The Complete First Season ignites a firestorm of suspense cloaked in the haze of a noir-inspired slow burn. Haunted by a tragedy that broke her world apart, Jessica Jones settles in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City, and opens her own detective agency, called Alias Investigations, with the hope of rebuilding her life and keeping the lights on in her apartment. She discovers that the source of her trauma, a mind-controlling sociopath named Kilgrave, has resurfaced, forcing her to use her gifts as a private eye to track him down before he causes more damage to her life or to anyone else.
The complete first season of the Netflix original series Marvel’s Jessica Jones is available to own on Blu-ray™ and DVD on Aug. 22 with 13 exciting episodes for fans to add to their libraries.

Boardwalk Empire, “Devil You Know”
Written by Howard Korder
Directed by Jeremy Podeswa
Aired October 12, 2014
After four seasons of deliberately paced, character-based storytelling, Boardwalk Empire wasn’t going to change its approach in its final truncated season. Instead of introducing new intrigues or foes, the series used much of its time to reflect on the paths that brought Nucky and the other main characters to this point and to say an extended goodbye to the people and world of the show. With Nucky facing off against well known historical figures, an air of doom pervades much of the final episodes before they reach their poetic, but inevitable conclusion. More intriguing is the antepenultimate episode, “Devil You Know”, which says goodbye to two of the series’ most colorful characters and powerful actors, Michael Shannon’s George Mueller/Nelson Van Alden and Michael K. Williams’ Chalky White. Shannon’s intense and frequently...

Kingdom, Season 1, Episode 10: “King Beast”
Written by Byron Balasco
Directed by Tim Iacofano
Airs Wednesdays at 9pm Et on the Audience Network
The first season finale of Kingdom, appropriately titled “King Beast”, is more interesting for what it doesn’t do than what it does. Namely, the episode contains no overreactions to the events of fight day. There is a complete lack of build up to the fights both Ryan and Jay have been preparing for for months. Both fighters are loose at Navy Street during final preparations, if not totally relaxed. Jay is his usual sarcastic self throughout the entire day, keeping everybody around him in good spirits as the fights inch closer. Even in the stew room, surrounded by nervous family and friends, the tension doesn’t overwhelm the excitement of the battle. Ryan is visibly coiled up inside, ready to burst, but not in a way...

Kingdom, Season 1, Episode 9: “Cut Day”
Written by Tom Garrigus
Directed by Tim Iacofano
Airs Wednesdays at 9pm Et on the Audience Network
The closest Kingdom has come to a bottle episode at this point, “Cut Day” is all about the conditions under which confronting one’s greatest fears and darkest moods is most likely to occur. Christina, whose demons are more than fully documented and discussed at this point, is not present for the first time since the beginning of the season, leaving the men and Lisa to reassess the state of things both emotionally and in regards to the gym. “Cut Day” coops all three fighters up together for the first extended period of time, puts Lisa in charge of the boys making weight while flying solo, and throws Alvey into a spiral while locked away in a hotel. Everybody is out of their comfort zones, and reckoning...

The Cell 2 is an infuriating movie, insulting your intelligence as it frolics gleefully in its own stupidity. This is exacerbated by the fact that it poses as a sequel to the Tarsem Singh original, a generally derided film that developed something of a cult following, with this reviewer among the ranks. This film is barely able to qualify as a follow-up as it shares few actual similarities and completely ignores the rules that the original played by.
Eva Longoria look-alike Tessie Santiago is the clairvoyant Maya Casteneda, working in conjunction with the FBI on the trail of serial killer The Cusp, who tortures his victims by killing them and bringing them back to life multiple times. Maya’s ability is the result of a former encounter with The Cusp, rendering her the only survivor of the killer and opening up areas of her brain through the massive amount of...

We already told you that The Cell 2 was arriving on DVD on June 16th (watch trailer) but here is the Blu-Ray art for those of you who care. It is basically the same thing as the DVD art but blue! The only special feature seems to be a "behind the scenes" thingy. The Cusp is a serial killer who kills his victims and then brings them back to life; over and over again; until they beg to die; Maya is a psychic investigator who gained her powers after a 1- year coma after she was the Cusp's first victim. Now the Cusp killer is back and Maya has little time to do what she has never done before, go into the mind of a killer unprotected, and save his latest victim. From Director, Tim Iacofano, The Cell 2 stars Chris Bruno (“Prison Break”), Frank Whaley (“Swimming With Sharks”) and...

Direct-to-video sequels aren't new. Sure, it's a quick way to make a buck off the established names, regardless of the involvement of the original actors. The Butterfly Effect 3 just came out, in case anyone's interested, and this summer we'll see the direct-to-dvd release of the (not) hotly anticipated Donnie Darko sequel, S. Darko.
But those movies, at least, have huge cult followings that the sequelmakers are hoping to cash in on. It amuses me when they do it to a decade-old movie that was critically mauled and a moderate but hardly long-lasting success at best.
Movies like The Cell.
I certainly don't look back on the first movie that fondly. While I admired Tarsem's gorgeous eye-candy (which he applied much more proficiently in The Fall), Mark Protosevich's script was all but a disaster, and the performances by Jennifer Lopez and Vince Vaughn pretty much killed it. Still, it...

The trailer for direct-to-dvd sequel The Cell 2 recently showed up online, and it looks exactly as you'd think it would considering no one was exactly clamoring for it and it pretty much came out of nowhere.
The film stars Tessie Santiago and Frank Whaley, was directed by Tim Iacofano (who gained experience working on the TV shows "24" and "Supernatural"), and offers up the following storyline: The Cusp is a serial killer who kills his victims and then brings them back to life -- over and over again -- until they beg to die. Maya is a psychic investigator who gained her powers while in a one-year coma after being the Cusp's first victim. Now the Cusp is back, and Maya has little time to do what she has never done before: go into the mind of a killer unprotected and save his latest victim.

Hey, remember 2000’s “The Cell”? The movie where Jennifer Lopez plays a psychiatrist who goes into people’s heads to help them? She was so good, the FBI used her to go into the head of a comatose serial killer in order to locate his latest victim before she dies. Well they’ve made a sequel called “The Cell 2″. The original was directed by Tarsem Singh and written by Mark Protosevich (”I am Legend”). The sequel is directed by TV director Tim Iacofano and is going straight to DVD. Trailer and DVD covers for “The Cell 2″ below. The plot of the sequel: The Cusp is a serial killer who kills his victims and then brings them back to life; over and over again; until they beg to die! Maya is a psychic investigator who gained her powers after a 1 year coma after she was the Cusp’s first victim!

Direct-to-dvd sequels... we all love to hate em. In this day and age, the concept of a movie going direct-to-dvd is no longer always a terrible thing, however, when it's an unwarranted sequel without the director or any original cast members, it's still a very bad sign. In the case of The Cell 2, Warner Brothers is truly producing a continuation that no one asked for. Don't get me wrong, I did like The Cell to an extent. There were some mind-blowing visuals in the film, but director Tarsem is not involved in the sequel which pretty much eliminates the only interesting thing the original had going for it. The Cell came out back in 2000 and I think it has mostly been forgotten at this point. Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio are not returning for obvious reasons, and so instead they've recruited a bunch of TV actors to take over.

Remember that flick The Cell from a few years ago? What it lacked in story it more than made up for in visuals, and I'm not just talking about J-Lo's amazing ass either. Warner and New Line have been sitting on the sequel for a while now, but they've finally decided to release it ... in the strangest of ways.
Starting June 23rd, 2009, you'll be able to watch The Cell 2 as part of Amazon.com's video-on-demand service. Expect a DVD release some time after that.
