People who have stuck with Gotham since its inception will admit it is over-the-top, over-packed, and incredibly messy but they can’t stop watching. Thankfully, an increasing number of people have gotten wise to the nonsense and the ratings dictated that the forthcoming short season five will be its last.
Gotham the Complete Fourth Season, out Tuesday from Warner Home Entertainment, presents all 22 episodes on four Blu-ray discs and you can see for yourself the chaos that masquerades as a prequel to Bruce Wayne becoming Batman (an act we’re promised we’ll prematurely see in 2019 when the series returns).
From the outset, the villains have always been outsized personalities, with grand schemes, unable to spread their criminal behavior to neighboring cities. Something roots them to Gotham even though none never clearly win. They would rather fight with or betray one another, each with some ambitious plan that seems to...

Add one more villain to the list: EW has confirmed that David Zayas of Dexter fame has been cast as Sal Maroni in Fox’s upcoming Gotham. Deadline first reported the news.
In Batman lore, Maroni is a self-made crime boss who starts from the bottom and works his way up to the second most powerful mobster in Gotham City, nipping at the heels of mob boss Carmine Falcone (to be played John Dorman in Gotham). Ultimately, Maroni is the man responsible for District Attorney Harvey Dent’s transformation into the villainous Two-Face. The character was most famously portrayed by...

"I don't mind the story being a powerful one - hit them right there," chuckles John Doman. "You want an audience to remember you."
The cheerily gruff, charismatic actor could be referring to his stand-out performance in 'The Wire', where he walked a tight rope of corruption as Deputy Police Commissioner William Rawls, who danced an unpredictable gavotte around Jim McNulty and the other officers in his charge.
John Doman in 'Borgia', as the cunning Cardinal turned infamous Pope
Instead, he's musing on a more ancient time, with his role in 'Borgia', where he plays Rodrigo Borgia, whose reign as pope would be remembered as the most infamous chapter of the history of the Catholic church, and who famously remained in a thrall to the pleasures of the flesh to rival that of his faith.
Not to be confused with the Jeremy Irons series,...

The 11th annual Coney Island Film Festival, running Sept. 23-25, offers an exquisite blend of freak show, burlesque and cinematic oddities, featuring movies about reformed gang members, unwitting superheroes, rock ‘n’ roll heaven and tons and tons of short films.
The fest opens with the portrait of a real-life Coney Island badass, Keith Suber, a reformed gang member who now teaches kids that violence isn’t the solution to their problems in the documentary The Last Immortal, directed by Charles Denson.
However, the highlight of the festival — in Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film’s opinion — is the headbangin’ documentary Heavy Metal Picnic by Jeff Krulik and John Heyn, which beautifully relives the glory days of ’80s era rock ‘n’ roll Maryland in all its raucous glory. Featuring footage from an outrageous backwoods farm concert and a reunion among its (slightly) more mature participants. Read the official Bad Lit documentary review here.

Bits of Aaron Sorkin's script for the David Fincher-directed film about the founding of Facebook, The Social Nework, have bounced around the Internet for a while. We got our hands on what seems to be the almost final entire script. Since Sorkin has a way of making folks labor through moody buildups--and this film is, at its heart, a melodrama about rich, white, geeks battling for privilege points (and, okay, innovating)--we thought we'd offer up some of the better lines. Call it free marketing for the film, which is out in October.
