The legal feud between former power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt over their French estate, Château Miraval, has reached a fever pitch. Despite the drama, Jolie’s recent allegations seem to be tightening the bond between Pitt and his current flame, Ines de Ramon.
While Jolie and Pitt’s courtroom drama escalates, here’s a look at how she’s pushing her ex-husband closer to de Ramon.

Pitt and Jolie’s legal battle over their French estate, Château Miraval, is intensifying.
New court records reveal that Jolie’s former investment firm, Nouvel, alleges that Pitt and his alleged accomplices are striving to maintain dominance over the estate. The firm claims they are doing so by draining and raiding its resources.
Nouvel is seeking a minimum of $350 million for the damages inflicted.

The drama over Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s French vineyard is once again in the spotlight. On Monday, Nouvel, Jolie’s former investment company, filed docs claiming that Pitt “stripped” and “looted” Château Miraval, the winery he and his ex bought in 2008, in an effort to regain control of the business. Et has reached out to Pitt’s rep for comment.
Currently, Pitt owns 50 percent of interest of Château Miraval, the same amount as Nouvel. However, Jolie’s former investment company claims in court docs obtained by Et that Pitt has attempted to “seize de facto control” of the winery by wasting millions of the company’s money on a series of “vanity projects.”
The docs additionally claim that Pitt has attempted “to turn over half of the value of Château Miraval’s most valuable assets” to his friend and business partner for free. Nouvel also alleges that Pitt...

In 2005, Steven Moffat wouldn’t have been as successful a Doctor Who showrunner as Russell T. Davies. The two are very different writers, with Moffat simultaneously introverted and romantic in comparison to Davies’ passionate tenure’s underlying cynicism. The latter was much better suited to introducing the show to a wider audience, and the former was better at interrogating the show’s tropes and characters (much easier to do if you’re going second). The two are in conversation with each other, consciously or not. Moffat started off one of his storylines towards the end of Davies’ final series.
Indeed, Moffat’s time on the show is in conversation with the entire history of Doctor Who, asking fundamental questions about the character’s identity, ethics and flaws, going right back to the character’s beginnings (near the beginning and end of his first incarnation) and asserting the importance of fear...

Roger Ebert once said movies are like a machine that generates empathy. Such is the third feature by Frank Berry. Following in the tradition of social realism of his previous features, Aisha simply watches and observes the breakdown of Ireland’s asylum-based immigration system as Nigerian immigrant Aisha (Letitia Wright) is forced to make her case over and over again, even after having to make an unthinkable choice in the film’s third act.
Working in a mode of social realism that recalls the understated frustration of a filmmaker like Ken Loach, Barry and cinematographer Tom Comfort hold on Wright’s face as she goes about navigating a system that includes boarding houses (called “Accommodation Centres”) and an immigration system that automatically defaults to whatever they’re told are the norms of the country an asylum seeker is trying to avoid.

Sherlock series 4, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, will be themed around "consequences" says Steven Moffat...
This is a round-up of news relating to Sherlock's fourth series. (We say news. We're being a tad optimistic there.)

This Entertainment Weekly interview with Steven Moffat provided a few characteristic teases from the Sherlock showrunner, including the promise that series four would contain answers "to questions which nobody has asked" (Sherlock's Gcse results? Mycroft's shoe size? We're just spitballing here). Moffat continued, "we're very exultant about a little thing we've set up that no one is talking about".

The Doctor Who series 8 disc release features a wealth of bonus material including the terrific Earth Conquest doc. Here's Pete's verdict...
If you’re reading this review, then there’s a good chance that you’ve both seen the twelve episodes that make up Peter Capaldi’s debut series and know exactly what we’re going to say about them. Series 8 of Doctor Who has been hailed by many as the best in several years, and one of the best since the show’s revival in 2005. It’s a verdict that we here at Den of Geek find it hard to argue with, frankly. From the light-hearted opener Deep Breath to the action-packed and slightly bonkers finale Death In Heaven, with thought-provoking episodes like Listen and Kill The Moon along the way, Series 8 has been a confident start to a brand new era for the world’s longest-running sci-fi programme.

The directors of Doctor Who's latest series brought back the scares in a big way. Well, fear is a superpower...
Warning: contains spoilers for every episode of the eighth series of Doctor Who.
We were promised back in August that the Peter Capaldi era of Doctor Who would mark a departure from the adventurous fairy tale approach of Matt Smith's run.
“Darker” and “edgier” are buzz words that have been applied to countless Hollywood sequels, but the eighth series actually lived up to that promise and by September, the tabloid press were dispensing think-pieces about whether or not it had become too scary for children (“scary” here standing in for “complicated” in Smith's era and “heretical” when David Tennant got a lift off a couple of angel robots in Voyage Of The Damned.)
All moral panics aside, this series brought back the scares in a big, bad way.

Viewers of a certain age may remember a quirky kids TV show called Grandad in which Clive Dunn played Charlie Quick, an absent-minded old caretaker who would almost certainly end each episode by drowning his spluttering boss in a tidal wave of fizzy drinks spurting from a malfunctioning dispenser unit.
Good times. And refreshingly free of the moronic TV programming that viewers have to endure these days. This ratings-driven disease has conveniently eaten its way into good old Doctor Who, which has been pushed back to 8.30 in order to make way for two tacky hours worth of Z-list celebs moving around a big floor. Considering that Doctor Who is supposed to be a family programme, pushing it back to make way for the lowest-common-denominator trash of Strictly Come Dancing makes about as much sense as a man trying to give directions with 100 gobstoppers in his mouth. That's the whole junior audience left out for starters.

If you grew up in the 1980s, then no doubt you'll remember ITV's very own take on the Robin Hood legend. Robin Of Sherwood would face the formidable presence of the Sheriff of Nottingham on a weekly basis, and would do so while flicking his girly locks from side to side to the ethereal dulcet tones of Clannad.
Robin Of Sherwood went out between 1984 and 1986, which was to be one of Doctor Who's best forgotten periods of history. As the old saying goes, civilisations rise and civilisations fall, and in the mid 1980s, Doctor Who's cosy little world was in danger of crumbling. Some of the fans were turning up their noses at John Nathan Turner's stewardship, while the evil big shots at the BBC were rubbing their hands in glee at the 18-month hiatus. About 30 years later, the presence of Robin Hood again caused dissension in the ranks.

Remember when the Doctor was nice? Let’s lower the bar: remember when he wasn’t an asshole? “The Caretaker” should be a lighthearted episode, a character-heavy look at what happens when Clara’s two worlds come crashing together. Instead, the episode’s lighter moments are weighed down by the Twelfth Doctor resuming old habits and treating Clara just as disrespectfully as the Eleventh Doctor.

Peter Capaldi is on top comedy form again, as he goes undercover as The Caretaker. Here's our spoiler-filled review...
This review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here.
8.6 The Caretaker
"There has been a spillage"
For five weeks, the new series of Doctor Who has flung Clara and the Doctor from Earth, to inside a Dalek, to Sherwood Forest, to a room with a strange blanket in it, through to last week's planetary bank heist. It's been a real mix of stories and adventures, all the time gradually threaded with the growing romance between Clara and Danny Pink, and the mysteries of Missy.
The Caretaker, another really good episode of the show (arguably one of the best of an impressive run), puts the brakes on just a little. And thus, while it returns to those two underlying threads, it also stops long enough so that people can actually have a chat.

Doctor Who series 8 remains on good form with the latest instalment. Here's our spoiler-free look at The Caretaker...
Remember when Doctor Who returned back in 2005, and we had Boom Town? Where, after weeks of running around and explosions, the bulk of the episode was characters having a conversation, with a bit of plot going on around them? It's an episode we've always been fond of, as rarely does Who have space to invest a good chunk of an episode in fleshing characters and themes out in such a way.
But The Caretaker, after a fairly breathless opening five episodes, finds that time. As such, it does a lot of very good character work that deals with things which have been building up for weeks. On top of that, it draws the best performance of the series to date from both Jenna Coleman (who shows terrific range) and Samuel Anderson. And...

Series eight of Doctor Who has started off with a bang, establishing a new and improved dynamic between the (Twelfth) Doctor and Clara, slowing down the pace, and prizing character work over plot twists. That threatens to falter here, with the series returning to the Doctor Who as fairy tale theme that so heavily infused series five through seven, but fortunately the episode’s sense of humor keeps it on track. “Robot of Sherwood” is a lark, but it’s a self-aware one, with enough pathos peppered in to temper the treacle.

When I first got into Doctor Who (only a few years ago), part of the appeal for me was that it had a kind of Quantum Leap deal as far as the main character’s control of where he’d wind up in many episodes. He would try to go to one place and time, but he and his companion would land in another, as if the Tardis was taking them somewhere and somewhen more important to put right what once went wrong. It’s not as fun when, say, Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) gets to pick a destination and they actually get there. But this week’s installment, “Robot of Sherwood,” worked for me anyway because of a new twist on the idea. The Doctor (Peter Capaldi) doesn’t expect to land where/when they do because he thinks it isn’t real. Or at least he doesn’t think the real place and time is...

Throwing the Doctor and some well-known figure from history or legend together for an episode is hardly a new trick for Doctor Who, although it is somewhat unusual to see our hero so nonplussed by the whole thing.As the title suggests, this episode finds the Doctor on an adventure in Sherwood Forest, learning that Robin Hood might be more real than his legendary status suggests. The choice of time and place is made by Clara, who is revealed to have a strong affection for the heroic tale. Written by Mark Gatiss and directed by Paul Murphy, "The Robot of Sherwood" is a clear departure from the dark tone of the opening two episodes. It's much more of a traditional throwaway fun romp, and it's a...

The BBC have released the full list of titles, writers and directors for each of the upcoming series 8 episodes of Doctor Who. While the titles offer up a few hints as to what we should expect from Peter Capaldi’s debut year as The Doctor, it’s also clear that the series has a lot of impressive talent behind the camera too.
That includes Ben Wheatley, director of A Field in England, Kill List and Sightseers.
Also below are a batch of brand new stills from “Deep Breath”, featuring Capaldi (who makes his debut as the 12th Doctor here) and Jenna Coleman, reprising her role as Clara Oswald.
Matt Smith was the last actor to play The Doctor, and Peter Capaldi made a brief appearance as the twelfth incarnation of the character in the hugely popular “The Day of the Doctor” special. However, he didn’t officially take on the...

The BBC’s drip-feed of new Doctor Who information continues today, with this week’s Monday-brightening instalment being a full list of titles, writers, and directors for all twelve episodes of Series 8.
The list itself is largely the same as a list of rumoured titles that circulated online several weeks ago, with the only differences being the titles of episodes 10 and 11, and very small difference in the title of Episode 3. Which begs the question of whether or not there might have been a few last minute title changes in response to that list. Particularly since Into The Forest Of The Night (Episode 10) is a pretty unwieldy title when compared to the rumoured title Child’s Play. The list also reveals that we’ll be seeing Danny Pink earlier than expected (Well, those of us who haven’t watched Episode 2 yet) with his first appearance...

We're leap-frogging Christmas Special, The Time Of The Doctor, somewhat to round up what we know so far about the forthcoming new series of Doctor Who.
It's news to no-one who hasn't kept their head in a bucket of fish fingers and custard for the last six months that Peter Capaldi will be taking over from Matt Smith in The Time Of The Doctor. Filming with Capaldi in the Tardis, as far as we know, is still due to start in January 2014 with Jenna Coleman back as companion Clara, and return appearances from the Paternoster Gang of Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax. Alex Kingston has also teased a potential return for River Song, announcing on a BBC America video "I look forward to sharing more of [River] with you in future,...

Salt Lake City — Kody Brown and his four wives want what any family wants, to live in the privacy of their own home free from government intrusion, and out from under the threat of criminal prosecution for – as they see it – just loving each other.
The polygamous family, stars of the TLC show "Sister Wives," has sued Utah and the county they fled from, hoping to persuade a federal judge to overturn the state's bigamy law as unconstitutional.
The case could potentially decriminalize a way of life for tens of thousands of self-described Mormon fundamentalists, most of whom live in Utah where bigamy is a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
The state, meanwhile, has publicly said it won't prosecute consenting adult polygamists unless there are other crimes involved, but insists the law doesn't overreach.
"It is not protected under religious freedom because states have the right to regulate marriage,...
