After a month-long break, Revenge is back. Tonight’s episode finds our two favorite women, Victoria and Emily, taking a break from attacking each other to deal with other wars. Victoria finally learns why Natalie Waters (Gina Torres) has come to the Hamptons, while Emily handles Margaux’s latest attack on her life. It’s all very Revenge, but in a way that’s missing the it factor that made Revenge so addictive and engrossing in its first season.
DreamWorks Animation previewed the first footage from its upcoming adventure saga Rise of the Guardians on Wednesday with the most detailed look so far at the movie’s take on some beloved childhood myths. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Sandman … Anyone who grew up hearing stories of these figures can conjure an image of them, but the animated feature debuting Nov. 21 this year fuses those kindly characters with a warrior mythology.
Like any good evangelical tale, Risen begins with a vision of a transformed man, and then proceeds to tell the story of how he made his transformation. The man in question is named Clavius (Joseph Fiennes). He’s dirty and haggard, wandering around the ancient Judean desert until he comes upon a lonely inn. The innkeeper recognizes the Clavius’ ring as that of a Roman tribune. So what, exactly, brought a high-ranking member of the imperial Roman bureaucracy to the middle of nowhere?
1 Her name is Jyn Erso. And she's not just the main character in Rogue One, she's also basically the title character. Until now, many assumed the name of the Dec. 16 film referred to the Rebellion's most famous X-Wing squadron, and there may still be a tangential connection. But the revelation in Thursday's teaser that Felicity Jones' character is a criminal, a rabble-rouser, and someone they need -- although not someone the Rebels necessarily trust -- gives the title a new dimension.
Rosalie Lightning is a little girl just like her name—sweet, bright, and full of crackling energy. But one night a few weeks before her second birthday, she goes to bed and doesn’t wake up. Hart’s graphic memoir is his attempt to process the crushing pain of his daughter’s loss, and it’s as harrowing and profound as any literary novel. In scratchy black-and-white panels, he traces the strange parabola of grief: “You’re walking and falling.
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 9 has dressed its roster of guest judges to the nines for the show's official congenial (and charitable) era. Joining the cast for a season filled with runway RuDemptions (peep an even more yassified version of season 11 star Plastique Tiara's All That Glitters runway in the clip below) and a $200,000 prize for the charity of the returning queens' choice are buzzy guest judges from A-list actors to international musicians.
This summer, the major studios are reportedly spending as much as $50 million a pop to promote their big flicks in the U.S.—more than double the average 1997 per-film marketing tab of $19.2 million, which itself is a 67 percent increase compared with five years ago. Most of the bucks go for TV ads, websites, and slogans on buses and buildings (our dream update: “HIS GROSSES ARE AS BIG AS THIS TACO STAND”).
Wind Gap, Missouri, is a sleepy, stifling place nearly suffocating in its own languid, small-town juices – an atmosphere that Sharp Objects establishes evocatively through sound, cinematography, and more in its first two episodes. As one of my colleagues put it, “I could watch Amy Adams stare into the distance for hours” — and there are plenty of opportunities to do that again in the series’ second hour. Camille (Adams) continues trying to find a story she can file with her editor in the midst of returning to her hometown, a small country outpost shaken by the murder of two local, barely teenage girls.
When Shrek asks Universal Orlando Resort guests "what are you doing in my swamp?" they'll now have a pretty amazing answer, judging by all the new attraction details and concept artwork for experiences heading to Universal Studios' upcoming DreamWorks Land.

Ortega/PR Photos; FoxThe Simpsons is serving up a side of Hamm: Mad Men star Jon Hamm will voice a character on an upcoming episode of the animated Fox comedy, exec producer Al Jean tells EW.com. In the episode—titled “Donnie Fatso” and slated to air in December—Hamm plays an FBI supervisor whom Homer reports to when he becomes an undercover informant in prison and infiltrates Fat Tony’s inner circle (which means, yes, Joe Mantegna returns to reprise his mobster role).
