battleship battle New Battleship Clip Features Jokes, Booze, And Unnatural Tans

Oh, Battleship.  The “hey-this-is-just-how-Michael-Bay-makes-‘em-right?” potential blockbuster has the unfortunate duty of opening in the wake of The Avengers’ May release, and features a Transformers-like premise without any actual Transformers, just keeps dropping new clips and ads, and yet still looks like a bland rehash of everything from Pearl Harbor to Battle: Los Angeles.  Today, we’ve got a new clip featuring a bar-hopping Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker and Alexander Skarsgard.  Let the unnaturally orange skin tones begin!

2012′s summer is going to be interesting as many of the big films look like they might not work.

Taylor Kitsch, Liam Neeson, Rhiana, Brooklyn Decker and Alexander Skarsgard star. The film is set to open May 18. Check it out… Continue Reading

True Blood: Season 4, Episode 12 – ‘And When I Die’ – TV Review

trueblood12 True Blood: Season 4, Episode 12 – ‘And When I Die’ – TV Review

The season four finale of “True Blood” is an event eleven episodes in the making. And by “event,” I really mean the last ten minutes of the episode. The first fifty minutes are extremely emotional and darkly brooding, only to give way to moments that live up to the episode’s title. As soon as the credits roll, you’ll be wondering if you had just watched the same show that has been airing every week at 9 p.m.; I know I felt that way. Does this episode mean to herald a completely new tone for the series? For reasons you’ll see below, I hope not.

True Blood: Season 4, Episode 11 – ‘Soul Of Fire’ – TV Review

trueblood11 True Blood: Season 4, Episode 11 – ‘Soul Of Fire’ – TV Review

With two episodes left in the season, it’s down to the wire. But about halfway through “Soul Of Fire,” it looks as though HBO didn’t get the memo that there’s still one episode to go, as the main arc of the season appears to be wrapping up quite nicely. Then, in traditional “True Blood” style, we get a cliffhanger that, I’ll admit, almost had me leaping out of my chair and screaming at the screen. I can’t think of a better reaction to have to one of this show’s trademark cliffhangers.

trueblood10 True Blood: Season 4, Episode 10 – ‘Burning Down The House’ – TV Review

While last week’s “True Blood” was lacking in the areas in which it is ordinarily strong, it did set the stage for exciting things to come – events that begin to play out in “Burning Down The House.” This hour kicks off with a brilliant scene and keeps the intrigue coming at the non-stop pace for which “True Blood” is known. And let us not forget what the memorable last shot of the episode promises to show us come 9 p.m. next Sunday.

trueblood9 True Blood: Season 4, Episode 9 – ‘Lets Get Out Of Here’ – TV Review

When last we left Bon Temps, a full-blown war had broken out between Marnie’s coven and the vampires, the latter side buffeted by Sookie’s powers. But in the final minutes of the episode, the tide had been turning in favor of the witches, leaving our major players in great peril. This week sees the conclusion to the battle and its aftermath, and it is safe to say that grim mortality and the possibility of destruction hang over every plotline in the episode. Since neither side wins this first round, things only escalate from here on out.

trueblood7 True Blood: Season 4, Episode 7 – ‘Cold Grey Light of Dawn’ – TV Review

This season of “True Blood” has been on a roll for six straight episodes, but like all good things, it had to come to an end at some point. “Cold Grey Light of Dawn” is by no means a bad episode, but it does not pack the same punch of quality that is characteristic of the show. Nevertheless, fans of the series – and of a certain pairing of characters – will love aspects of this hour. It is, as always, an entertaining episode that manages to do many things right despite its shortcomings.

trueblood6 True Blood: Season 4, Episode 6 – ‘I Wish I Was The Moon’ – TV Review

I don’t mean to sound biased off the bat, but let’s be honest here. “True Blood” has been hitting the right notes ever since the season premiere, nearing perfection – and sometimes embodying it – with each passing week. Thrilling drama, unexpected twists, steamy scenes, and a whole lot more have characterized season four thus far, and “I Wish I Was The Moon” is no exception. While it isn’t the best episode of “True Blood,” it remains an outstanding example of what this show has to offer.
