There’s a good chance Andrew Garfield won’t get enough credit for his impressive performance in Andy Serkis’ “Breathe.” Sure, he’s got an excellent shot at Best Actor nomination, but considering he plays a character almost completely immobile for three quarters of the film it shouldn’t even be a question. In scene after scene Garfield can only react through his face. He can’t flinch or move a muscle in any other part of his body.

The Winchester boys get to relive one of the few happy aspects of their childhood in this week's wrestling-themed episode of Supernatural...
This review contains spoilers.
11.15 Beyond The Mat
Burnt out on lore-reading and Darkness-hunting, the Winchesters decide a little break is in order and the opportunity arises to pay their respects at the funeral of the Hangman, a wrestler they used to watch with John growing up. However, the Hangman died in deeply ironic and mysterious circumstances and when a father in the audience with his son is killed during a show, Dean and Sam realise there’s a case on. Elsewhere, Lustiel has turned Hell into a cheerier Glengarry Glen Ross with less shouting and more soul-dealing. His torment of Crowley continues, but the demon thinks he has a way to getting his groove back.

The wait to see Jamie Dornan on the big screen again just became a bit longer. After his starring role in Fifty Shades of Grey, fans of the actor were looking forward to seeing the star in Bradley Cooper's upcoming film Burnt out next month. Unfortunately, E! News can confirm his small role has been cut in order to focus on other story lines. "In making every film, cuts and adjustments in storylines inevitable occur," director John Wells said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. "In the case of Burnt, Jamie's role was a small cameo that he was kind enough to do for us and was part of Sienna Miller's character's backstory. We ultimately decided to focus on Adam...

While You Were Peeping: Godet’s Elegy Brimming with Belabored Emotion
With his sophomore directorial effort, Fabienne Godet’s A Place on Earth (Une place sur la Terre) once again places Belgian actor Benoît Poelvoorde in the midst of a doomed romantic entanglement. Surprisingly, the generally comedic thespian excels at these melancholy, brooding types, as evidenced by recent stints in Jean-Pierre Ameris’ Romantics Anonymous (2010) and Benoit Jacquot’s Three Hearts (2014). As an uninspired photographer, Poelvoorde’s equally forlorn here, though he’s on the less dramatic end of the comparable occupationally challenged protagonist featured in Godet’s first feature, Burnt Out (2005). However, the film’s dramatic conflict inevitably ends up feeling a bit forced, the emotionally unstable natures of its romantic leads vaguely administered, which casts an extemporaneous pallor over the script that should leave us feeling as devastated as the roiling soundtrack and sweeping visuals urge.

Starring: Antonio Banderas, Birgitte Hjort Sorensen, Dylan McDermott, Robert Forster, Tim McInnerny, Melanie Griffith
USA, 2014
Following up 2009’s Hierro, Gabe Ibáñez goes from domestic to sci-fi mystery with Automata. Set in 2044 Ad, when solar storms turn Earth into a radio desert and reduces the human population, robots have become a staple for survival. A corporation called Roc, in particular, creates a line of robots called the Automata Pilgrim 7000s to assist humans in their quest for living, building the walls needed to protect mankind. Security protocols have been programmed to prevent robots from harming any form of life, and from altering themselves altogether. In this dark and dystopian future, plucked from a chapter of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner or Danny Cannon’s Judge Dredd, the audience follows Roc insurance investigator Jacq Vaucan (Antonio Banderas).

Earlier this year, Tom Petty started telling interviewers, including HitFix, that “Hypnotic Eye,” out Tuesday (29), would be a rock record that harkened back to the early days of the Heartbreakers. He stayed true to his word. There’s a rawness to “Eye’s” 11 tracks that captures rock and roll’s primal nature. It’s a blast to listen to and it sure sounds like it was fun to make. The Heartbreakers, bolstered by guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboardist Benmont Tench, are one of the finest, tightest bands in the history of rock. Not only is the musicianship and camaraderie almost unmatched, the Heartbreakers have never remotely felt the need to chase fads or trends. They are straight up, unapologetic rock and roll and on their 13th album as a well-oiled unit, they sound reliably cohesive. Not only does the album herald back to old Heartbreakers, it recalls the ‘60s and...

John Carney’s Can a Song Save Your Life? answers its own (inescapably clunky-sounding) titular question within its first twenty minutes, but it’s hard to tell if that salvation is ultimately sustainable. After all, most songs only last a few minutes, and what happens when the music stops? Burnt out music executive Dan (Mark Ruffalo) has a thing for long shots, and while that may have worked for him in his early days, he hasn’t had much luck when it comes to finding bankable new talent for a number of years. (Oh, and his personal life is also in shambles, because of course it is.) Stuck in a low-rent apartment, estranged from his rock writer wife (Catherine Keener, who can’t quite reach her normal charm levels here, mainly because half of her face is bizarrely hidden behind her hair) and his just-rebellious-enough teen daughter (Hailee Steinfeld, who should have gotten more screen time here...

Frankie Go Boom featuring Ron Perlman in drag and even more.

The death of Davy Jones should give us pause to remember that the Monkees were one of the great groups of the 1960s
In the Purcell Room in London last night, a panel of pop sages – Jon Savage, Nicky Wire and Alexis Petridis – chose the TV moment that made them realise pop music was the key to their future, something that could open up their lives. Respectively, they picked the Rolling Stones, the Smiths, and Adam & the Ants; all three groups were inspirational but all equally seemed unattainable, otherworldly.
The Monkees were the exact opposite. Two or three generations of musicians will have grown up watching their show on Saturday mornings, or in the summer holidays, thinking: "I want to be like them." Their lifestyle was highly desirable and didn't seem impossible: form a band, move into a ramshackle flat together, meet loads of girls. At least, Davy Jones, who died yesterday,...

After his Oscar-hopeful Seven Pounds landed flat on its face in 2008, The Pursuit of Happyness director Gabriele Muccino has stayed behind the curtains just as much as his star Will Smith. They are both returning next year, with Smith in Men in Black III and Muccino with a new film. Starring Gerard Butler, Playing the Field follows the actor playing an ex-soccer player turned coach who seems to be in a Desperate Housewives-esque situation with all the soccer moms in his town.
The ensemble cast also includes Jessica Biel, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Uma Thurman, Dennis Quaid, and we have the first photos today from Blackfilm. I’m interested to see what kind of tone this film carries, as it it looks wildly different from Muccino’s films, but for now we only have these stills, which can be seen above and below.

FilmDistrict, the company spun off from Graham King's Gk FIlms, has been very busy at Cannes. The company has picked up distribution rights to the 3D version of Arabian Nights that we reported on a while back [1], starring [2] Liam Hemsworth, as well as the Gerard Butler and Jessica Biel romcom Playing the Field. And now that the lousy announcements are out of the way, there are these, too: FilmDistrict is teaming with TriStar to release Rian Johnson's film Looper (we just had the first still [3] from that one on Friday) and Angelina Jolie's directorial debut, which now has the title In the Land of Blood and Honey. More info on all four films, after the break. The biggest news here is the fact that Angelina Jolie's directorial debut, a romance set during the Bosnian war, finally has a title. Less surprising is the fact that FilmDistrict will distribute the film,...

The first panel in the "big room" at WonderCon 2011 was for the Steven Spielberg-produced upcoming show Falling Skies. It's an alien invasion show, developed with Saving Private Ryan writer Robert Rodat and Lost alum Melinda Hsu.
We saw two clips from the show that I would categorize as "has potential."
The first sequence opened over a montage of children's drawings explaining how the aliens came and brought mass death with them
A small boy explains how his parents left the house one day and never came back. A counselor of some sort reminds him that his Dad is "okay."
We cut to two men engaged in urban combat. Burnt out cars offer shelter from sharp beams of light blue light - something you don't want to get with.
We see a fallen human, with arachnid-like aliens with elongated heads (called "Skitters") who crawl around him and squeal.

Burnt out from the Oscar-Nominated movies? Looking for a unique film experience that will spark conversation? BuzzFocus caught up with director and writer Sebastian Gutierrez (The Eye, Gothika, Snakes on a Plane) who was excited to talk about his latest film, Elektra Luxx, a day in the life of its title character (Carla Cugino, Sin City) who is trying to reinvent herself but her surreal life makes that a difficult task.
Formerly a porn starlet, Elektra hopes to make it in the straight world while preparing for motherhood. The father of her child, Nick Chapel passed away so she uses her skills of her past trade to become a sex-education instructor at the local community center. A flight attendant Cora (Mary Shelton, Deathproof) who nearly had an affair with her late husband approaches her with lyrics from Nick’s unreleased record, completely dedicated to Elektra, and in exchange she has to seduce Cora’s fiancée.

When you order up an episode of Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, there’s one thing you can always count on… You’re going to get a hefty helping of train-wreck with a tasty side of feel good TV. It’s both hard to watch, and difficult to turn away from. Filthy walk-ins? Check. Rancid meats and shellfish? Check. Burnt out owners, strained family members, passionless employees, and gaudy interior? Check, check, check, and check! But what makes this show so entertaining and fun to watch is what happens when Ramsay is able to press the reset button for these restaurant owners and help them find their long lost passion and mojo for their business (and perhaps your next dinning experience).
The season premiere finds Ramsay in Harrison, NJ at the Spanish Pavillion – another family owned restaurant that is sinking quick while tearing two brothers apart. With this episode in mind,...

With a staggering 3,200 entries, no stone or scroll is left unturned. Even diehard fans will be amazed by some of them; Baboonjas, the psychic ninja cult from Ape City (a 4-issue comic miniseries published by Malibu Comics in 1990), and Deadeye, a rare scared-face, cigar-chomping gorilla bounty hunter resin “garage kit” are two examples.

Seattle's Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center is presenting the Us premiere of the new musical comedy "Obama On My Mind". And I have to say, the show is one of the most blatant and unnecessary abuses of President Obama's good name and the good feelings people have toward him since the Franklin Mint issued the Obama Commemorative half dollar.
The story (if you could call it that), written by Teddy Hayes, centers on a small town's Obama campaign headquarters just days before the election and the crazy group of volunteers working in the office. After many speeches about why they like Obama and backstory on themselves, they decide to put on a show (a la Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney) as a fundraiser. Why they are putting on a fundraiser days before the election when it would do no good is beyond me but there you have it. And that's pretty much it.
