Norman Bates’ final descent into Psychosis has begun.
The fifth and final season of A&E’s Bates Motel got underway Monday night, and it was completely, utterly, gloriously nuts. It was also heartbreaking. And on at least one occasion, slightly mystifying.
Below, showrunner Kerry Ehrin tackles some of my burning questions about the premiere, while also teasing what craziness awaits in the remaining nine episodes.

The new "X-Files" mini-season is almost here -- and with anticipation building, Fox has released a 21-minute sneak peek at the forthcoming episodes that covers Mulder and Scully's reunion, new cast members, creepy crawlies and big twists on the old mythology. Too busy to watch the whole thing? Here are 9 things we learned from the new clip. 1. The first and last episodes are "mythology" episodes, while the rest are standalone (a.k.a. "Monster of the Week") episodes. "I knew that there was a big interest from the fans to see more monster stuff," says Anderson. "But also, we have a big fandom based around the mythology." 2. One of the standalone episodes will be in more of a comedic vein than the others. "There's gonna be standalones, and of those standalones there's gonna be one that's funnier than the others," says Duchovny. 3. Mulder and Scully will be broken up at the beginning of the series.

In 1980, the idea of having a puppet as a supporting actor was still untested. Ryan looks back at The Empire Strikes Back's big gamble...
"You will go to the Dagobah system. There you will learn from Yoda, the Jedi master who instructed me..."
George Lucas may have had a wider saga planned out in his head, but he couldn't have predicted just how much hunger there would be for more space adventures in the wake of Star Wars. But as audiences flocked to watch and rewatch the film through the summer of 1977, Lucas was already putting the groundwork in place for a sequel, with its title, The Empire Strikes Back, firmly in place by November that year.
Exhausted by the process of making Star Wars, Lucas decided to step back from the role of writer and director for its follow-up, assigning his old mentor Irvin Kershner...

The Star Wars franchise is going strong 38 years later. But what about the artists and filmmakers who helped make the 1977 original a hit?
In theatres all over the world in 1977, audiences thrilled at the sights and sounds of Star Wars. Harking back to a bygone age of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, it also pointed forward to the coming age of ubiquitous computers and special effects-led blockbusters.
But while the triumphant fanfare of John Williams' score gave Star Wars a confident swagger, its success was far from preordained. George Lucas reworked his script time and again; studios turned his concept down; even the production was rushed and torturous.
By now, the contribution George Lucas, John Williams and Star Wars' cast made to cinema is well documented. But what about some of the other artists, technicians and fellow filmmakers who helped to make the movie such a success? Here's...

"Bates Motel" is going to be expanding its universe in Season 2, both in terms of its characters and its settings.
Beyond the Bradley, Norman and Emma love triangle-ish situation going on, a new love interest will enter the fray. Unlike Emma, she will be a girl who Norma cannot stand.
"There's a great young teenage girl that Norman crosses paths with," Ep Kerry Ehrin tells Zap2it during a recent interview. "He meets this girl, who is kind of a bada** party girl. She doesn't like parents. She's like that girl. She's the girl parents would not want their kids to date. And she kind of gets him to do stuff with her, but not realizing who it is that she's pulling in, which is obviously dangerous."
She adds, "It's seeing Norman process women and sexual attraction and all of that stuff as told through sort of his summer relationship with this girl.

The Art Directors Guild and the Costume Designers Guild have become the latest groups to announce their nominees for 2013. They may not be considered as big or as important as the Producers Guild, the Directors Guild, or the Writers Guild, but they are still a pretty good prognosticator for who will eventually take home the Oscar in their respective categories.
The Art Directors split their categories up into Period, Fantasy, and Contemporary Films (along with various TV categories), but the main one of importance here is the Period, where we find the more fanciful, eye-catching designs. Here, we find what was mostly expected: American Hustle, The Great Gatsby, Inside Llewyn Davis, Saving Mr. Banks, and 12 Years a Slave. If I had to venture a guess, I’d say that The Great Gatsby has this one in the bag. There were those who didn’t enjoy the film (I actually found...

Most of the All Hallow's-themed genre movies are outright clunkers and don’t actually do anything with the holiday itself, the horror version of Christmas; most, if not all, of them could have been set on the 4th of July, and what difference would it have made? A big part of the fun behind Trick ’R Treat, the directing debut of X2 and Superman Returns screenwriter Michael Dougherty, is that it’s a Halloween movie through and through; its chills are all specific to that night, and it depends on the holiday’s trappings for its look and feel from first frame to last.
For that alone, Trick ’R Treat earns points in my book, but thankfully, Dougherty also understands that Halloween is also about having fun by scaring people; while...

Ten years after the first "X-Files" movie -- and six since the conclusion of the iconic TV series -- Fox's paranormal-investigation franchise returns to theaters. Unlike 1998's "The X-Files: Fight the Future," the new movie skirts the series' notably paranoid mythology to focus on a relatively standard criminal inquiry, albeit one informed by supernatural incidents. In both scope and execution though, "I Want to Believe" has more in common with its television origins than its motion picture predecessor.
Fox kept the film's plot under tight wraps and held down the production budget, hedging against the potential downside of reintroducing a lukewarm, though popular, franchise. Initial boxoffice should be fairly responsive as loyal "X-Files" fans fill theaters, but with little originality to offer the uninitiated, returns will likely taper off quickly, because the film hardly warrants repeat viewings.
"I Want to Believe" reintroduces the investigatory team of former FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) -- a vociferous adherent of alien abduction, government conspiracy and other fringe theories -- and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), a sober-minded physician specializing in forensics, who together pursued a series of mysterious X-Files cases for the bureau.
Six years have passed since Mulder and Scully left the agency. The pair now resides in an unanticipated state of domesticity, with Scully practicing pediatrics at a Catholic hospital while the discredited and reclusive Mulder pursues his obsession with paranormal media accounts.
The mystifying disappearance of an FBI agent in wintry West Virginia convinces Special Agent Dakota Whitney (Amanda Peet) to bring Mulder in from the cold to help evaluate claims made by Father Joseph Crissman (Billy Connolly). An avowed psychic and defrocked pedophile priest, Father Joe is having visions of the missing agent that led the FBI team to a man's severed arm buried under the snow that's somehow connected to the case.
After another local woman vanishes and more dismembered body parts surface, Whitney increasingly relies on Mulder to coax leads from Father Joe. Ever rational, Scully and Whitney's colleague, Agent Mosley Drummy (rapper Alvin "Xzibit" Joiner), scoff at the priest's alleged supernatural ability, as the principal characters progressively battle individual crises of faith.
Rather than a creepy supernatural thriller, "X-Files" creator Chris Carter, who directed "I Want to Believe" from a script co-written with producer Frank Spotnitz, spins a second-rate "Silence of the Lambs"-type serial killer mystery. Despite a few evocative early scenes, adequate atmospherics are noticeably lacking until the final reels, when the plot has already descended into implausibility. Overall, the film plays like an improbably skewed but comparatively routine criminal procedural that would have served the original show well as an extended season opener or sweeps-week contender.
Although Duchovny and Anderson display some muted chemistry, it isn't enough to fully ignite the narrative. Connolly cleverly capitalizes on his role as the erratic priest, though the other performances are almost consistently dour. Carter's unimaginative visual style, mired in literalism, can't much buoy the movie either. The other technical contributions are workmanlike, with only Mark Snow's score evoking an appropriately eerie mood.
