Game of Thrones Reviews, Interviews & More

Game of Thrones, the HBO series based on the fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, has been a huge hit for HBO, telling the tale of the continent of Westeros, “where summers and winters can last years, and only the lust for power is eternal” (a.k.a., it’s a gargantuan swords-and-sandals epic with lots of graphic violence and sex).  After record setting...

While fans anxiously await the first episode of the new season of Game of Thrones, they might want to hear about this little bit of information. It just so happens that Game of Thrones may not be the last time HBO adapts some literature written by George R.R. Martin. How do we know? Because he said so, that's why.

There are few shows that many talk about with such a feverish passion, and one of those is Game of Thrones. Since it's premiere, audiences around the world have been absolutely hooked to the fantasy story. Now we're a couple of weeks away from the premiere of season 3, and from the looks of these new trailers, we're finally getting into the big...

Hollywood's man of the moment, Ben Affleck, is the star of Terrence Malick's next movie To The Wonder. The film is beautifully shot, and that can be seen in the new trailer that dropped today. (See it below.) Also, a series of new character posters for the new season of Game of Thrones were released, and they're gruesomely awesome. And Kevin Smith announced that he has...

This week could bring the release of this upcoming weekend’s big Oscar winner. Yes, Argo is hitting Blu-ray this week along with Game of Thrones and number of other pretty cool releases. Check it out…

Joaquin Phoenix's performance in The Master is undoubtedly one of the best (if not the best) of the year. But he could care less about whether or not his performance was "Oscar-worthy." The actor recently said that he doesn't believe in the Academy Awards and that he does not want the gold statue. Also, Lena Dunham announced the official return date of...

It used to be that winning an Emmy was considered sub-Oscar, but now that television is getting to be on similar artistic footing as cinema, it's surprising that winning one still isn't that great an accomplishment. Perhaps it's because of the stodgy and repetitive picks of their academy. Here's the full list of their 2012 nominations :

Game of Thrones was upgraded at this year's Comic-Con, one of the few TV series (following directly after The Walking Dead) to appear in the 7,000 seat auditorium known as Hall H. Here's the problem with Game of Thrones the TV series - nothing. Sadly, the problem that they had with the panel was also nothing, but without the positive...

This week, HBO apologized to former President of the United States, George W. Bush for featuring him on a Game of Thrones episode. Let's just say he was looking a little dead...and beheaded.  Also, gossip monster TMZ missed a precious and rare opportunity to question director Terrence Malick while the reclusive artist was accidentally filmed...

For its second season finale, how can Game of Thrones possibly wrap up the backstabbing, plotting and intense love stories in one episode? With Tywin Lannister now acting as the King's Hand, the rest of those vying for the crown must rethink their strategies for overtaking the Iron Throne. How will it all play out? Find out more in our tv show review...  

Well, Game of Thrones fans, even as your beloved series winds to a close of Season Two with only two episodes left (check out our review of last Sunday’s ep), there are things on the horizon to keep you going.  Specifically, HBO has released a list of the new characters who will be populating the third season of the popular adaptation of the A Song of Fire and...

With just one episode left, the epic battle for King's Landing is finally upon the us. In this week's Game of Thrones, each character shows their true colors while under siege. In "Blackwater," Stannis and his army finally make their move and have victory within their grasp. Find out more in our review...  

And so the drama continues. This week on Game of Thrones, some key players had to eat a slice of humble pie. After ceasing the Stark's home, Theon is reprimanded like a child, Robb loses a bargaining chip and Jon Snow goes from captor to captive. If anything, "The Prince of Winterfell" showed the importance of strategy in the art of war. Find out more in our...

The end is near for season two of Game of Thrones. This week's episode begged the question, who is a “Man Without Honor?" On this show, there's more than enough devious deeds to go around. Both men and women have plenty of skeletons in their closets. Is it Jaime for his nonchalant attitude towards killing and incest? Or is it Theon for his betrayal and...

This week on Game of Thrones, Theon betrays his former home and takes Winterfell, while Robb and Catelyn continue the good fight. Joffrey (unfortunately) survives an uprising in the streets after Cersei sends her youngest daughter off to marriage leaving Sansa for dead. Arya gathers valuable information while in the service of Tywin. And Jon Snow continues his cold...

The Game of Thrones story is really starting to gather steam, with several chess pieces moving closer and closer to a cataclysmic collision of minds and matter. The tone in Season 2 has been a little starker than in Season 1, and it manages to do that while feature fewer Starks! As always, I am low on patience and high on anticipation for Episode 4 next week.

This second season of Game of Thrones has journeyed on like a bullet train capitalizing on its maiden voyage. There are still hordes of new characters and places, but the pacing needs less introduction and backdrop. It becomes less about what is Westeros and more about what happens in Westeros – which, as it turns out, is a collection of fascinating,...

Time for another round-up of this week's entertainment bits and pieces. We've got the official trailer for Michelle Williams' Take this Waltz. Also, very cool Game of Thrones fan art courtesy of Unreality Magazine; and a gallery featuring Alfred Hitchcock's classics as Nintendo Games. All that and...

"To the Point" is a bi-monthly column about the world of film from our own Damon Houx.  He may say things you don't agree with--and that's sort of the point. Recently The Oatmeal did a cartoon about a guy wanting to watch Game of Thrones, and finding it impossible to do so unless he pirated a copy. Alas, this was printed a mere two weeks before the DVD and Blu-ray box set...

For those who are without HBO, but have been hearing non-stop about the greatness of Game of Thrones, now is your chance to own it legally! It leads the pack of new releases, which include such fall winners as Jack and Jill, The Immortals, and Footloose, and catalog greats from Eddie Murphy,...
