After being treated to a look at the new Poison Ivy, in addition to the news that proto-versions of both Killer Croc and Harley Quinn are on the way, the Gotham hype train shows no signs of slowing down. Fox has decided to whet our appetites with a new trailer that not only teases the Batman prequel series’ third season, but also Lucifer’s second.
Set to Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” the promo seems to stress the more somber and dramatic themes to be played out on upcoming episodes of both shows. What amazed me was how well it flowed considering that these shows are in no way connected, aside from being based on DC Comics properties.
The Gotham portion of the trailer really plays up the rivalry between Penguin and Fish Mooney, which has been building since the pilot episode. Quite frankly, I’m expecting all out war to erupt on the city streets.

When I think back on the countless hours I’ve invested into the Resident Evil series, it’s mostly a blur of strangely shaped keys, frantic boss fights, and chainsaws whirring toward me, all backed by a mash-up of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata and Drowning Pool’s Let the Bodies Hit the Floor. It’s intense and wonderful, like I’m […]...

Disney's fictionalised biopic of Ludwig van Beethoven stars pianist-turned-actor Karlheinz Bohm as the great composer. The film focuses on Beethoven's friendship with fellow composer Franz Josef Haydn and an ill-fated romance with a young countess. Boehm ably captures the tempestuous genius of the man and the European locations look splendid, while the music - from the unforgettable symphonies to Moonlight Sonata and Fur Elise - speaks for itself.

Ugh… where do I begin? I was dubious of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City from the off. Theoretically, it could have been great. Theoretically. But there are two types of tie-ins: those made with love, with care and due diligence, appeasing long standing fans while delivering something fresh and previously unexplored. Then there’s gaming abortions like this; a stilted, uninspired and largely broken snooze-fest of a shooter, with a franchise title slapped on the front of the box in a vague ploy to fool fanboys into parting with their soft earned geek-dollars.
Operation Raccoon City takes us back to where it all began. The game is set during the initial outbreak, which mainly spans the timelines of Resident Evil 2 and 3. Fans of the series will see some familiar faces and set pieces from the originals from time to time, but even as a Resi...

Independent filmmakers are always looking for their big break. Writer/director Sean Kirkpatrick found his, appropriately enough, in something called "The Big Break Contest." Launched last summer by Relativity Media and AMC Theatres, the contest was designed to give one worthy filmmaker a shot at national distribution. A panel of judges that included Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh and actress Kate Bosworth picked Kirkpatrick's "Cost of a Soul," a dark story of Iraq war veterans lost in the drug trade in Kirkpatrick's hometown of Philadelphia, as their inaugural winner. Now the film's opening in 50 AMC Theatres across the country this Friday (you can find a full list of locations and showtimes here).
It's a move that could be one small step for a single indie filmmaker or, if the business model of movie theaters distributing smaller films to large audiences catches on, a giant leap for an entire industry. Kirkpatrick, a...

Kevin Kline wowed U.S. TV audiences with his piano skills on Monday night, July 26 by staging a performance with comedian Jimmy Fallon and his back-up band The Roots. The Oscar winner harbored dreams of becoming a piano prodigy when he was young, but gave the hobby up for acting because he "couldn't see a future" in music.
But Fallon urged the actor to revisit his past and tickle the ivories during an appearance on his talk show "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon", prompting Kline to play a rendition of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".
Explaining his decision to give up his musical aspirations, Kline said, "I had a terrible practicing discipline. I would try to be practicing my classical music but I would be distracted by other things. This is a demonstration of how important discipline is for any job." The unlikely triple act then livened the crowd, ending the...

Before watching Dark Legacy: George Bush and the Murder of John Kennedy, I had no idea that there were people out there who thought that George Bush Sr. had orchestrated the murder of John F. Kennedy. But really, it make sense; there are conspiracy theories about virtually everything, and the JFK assassination is definitely no exception.
The film is chock full of conspiracy theory goodness, and is thorough and zealous in its presentation of its "proof." It relies "exclusively on government documents, statements from the best witnesses available, and the words from the mouths of the killers themselves."
The 73-minute documentary is split into nine mini-chapters, which make up three "parts." Part One discusses the actual shooting and provides evidence to suggest that Kennedy was not actually shot from behind, but from the front and side. Part Two supposes that the FBI stole the body, pre-autopsy, to cover up the aforementioned theory,...

I've written briefly about this scene before, a few years ago, when I retro reviewed Immortal Beloved. Gary Oldman plays a young Beethoven, struggling to keep his descending deafness a secret from those around him. Unbeknownst to him, his student and passion, Guilietta, has schemed up a deal with her father so that he will accept Beethoven's proposal of marriage. A piano will be placed into the room, and while the composer thinks everyone is away, father and daughter will hide and listen to see if there is still music left in the man. If there is, Guilietta can marry Ludwig.
While they hide behind a wall, Beethoven walks over to the piano with trepidation, sits down, and hammers out some jarring notes. It looks like he has, indeed, lost it -- that her father was right. But then a few notes hesitantly flow from Beethoven's fingers. He...
