After a season that has seen the forces against the Master grow in size as his reign of terror spreads throughout New York, “Night Train,” is a finale that gives as much to the cause as it takes away. And despite its twists and turns, “Night Train,” does not go off the rails — despite an actual train doing so in the episode. It plays things surprisingly safe for an episode that shifts the status quo of the series.
You don’t have to wait long for FX’s vampire saga The Strain to deliver the creepy, cheeky shocks and gore that made the show a delightful summertime thriller last year. The season 2 premiere begins with a prologue directed by co-creator Guillermo del Toro that synthesizes into storybook myth everything chilling and charming about this B-movie extravaganza. It’s spooky and poignant and includes a moment when a vampire vomits thousands of maggoty worms into another man’s mouth.
There are no mist-shrouded haunted houses in Tim Burton's spick-and-span hometown of Burbank, Calif. The only bloodsuckers out at night are mosquitoes. No corkscrew trees claw the sidewalk on Evergreen Street, where the filmmaker grew up in the 1960s and early '70s in one of its many neat little cracker-box houses. But then, at the end of his road was a sprawling graveyard. With the filmmaker's new stop-motion animated movie Frankenweenie debuting in theaters this weekend, it seemed like a good time to go back and tell the strange story of Tim Burton's otherwise normal hometown, and how it shaped his twisted cinematic visions.
Go ahead and make a mug of your favorite hot cocoa, because even though summer's around the corner, it's time to get nice and cozy with a sneak peek at The Summer I Turned Pretty season 2. Prior to the writers' strike, EW got author/creator Jenny Han to share an annotated script page of one of the most anticipated scenes of the upcoming season, featuring a moment between Belly (Lola Tung) and Conrad (Christopher Briney) that's ripped straight from It's Not Summer Without You (the second book in the trilogy).
Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) takes the narrative wheel in "Love Fool," an aptly named episode that details just how much he's been swallowing his own pain over the past year. Long story short, the kid's not all right. We pick up exactly where we left off last week, with Susannah's (Rachel Blanchard) absence looming even larger now that every trace of her has been stripped from the beach house. Julia (Kyra Sedgwick) briskly tells the teens that she's hurting too and also, their mother could've given them a heads-up that this was going to happen.
“He’s the king of all superheroes. He exists in a weird way outside of comic-book culture.” — Zack Snyder If Man of Steel wasn’t the king of all superhero movies, it was still an ambitious and exciting starting point for a new take on our most iconic caped character. Henry Cavill’s son of Krypton is an alien — always has been — and as writer David Goyer explains in an exclusive bonus video from the new Blu-ray, the Superman story that demanded to be told was one of first-contact.
Following McGarrett’s near-death experience, the upcoming seventh season of Hawaii Five-0 will explore the team’s legacy. “McGarrett is contemplating his mortality and the choices he’s made,” EP Peter M. Lenkov tells EW, noting that family plays an important role this year — Kono (Grace Park) possibly starting her own with Adam (Ian Anthony Dale), Danny’s (Scott Caan) relationship with his children, and Chin (Daniel Dae Kim) potentially adopting his niece. Below, Lenkov previews what’s next for the team: ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Where does the new season pick up?
Maybe it’s her pouty, party-size lips. Maybe it’s her genetically engineered superhuman intellect. Or maybe 12 million viewers a week are tuning in for her unflappable sassiness and spunky sangfroid in the face of a nihilistic, dystopian, post-nuclear-magnetic-pulse future. Nah. It’s the lips. Jessica Alba, the Dark Angel herself, is curled up in a chair in a Vancouver hotel bar, sucking soda from a straw. The star of Fox’s most successful sci-fi show since The X-Files — and the first TV series cocreated and executive-produced by James ”King of the World” Cameron — is only 19 years old, yet already she grasps a fundamental principle of prime-time programming.
Lil Jon is getting into the wine business. His label: Little Jonathan Winery. “My full name is Jonathan,” he explained to The Associated Press. “The wine is more nature: I wanted to not just have adirect connection, but make it just a little bit more upscale thanregular ‘Lil Jon.’ … This is not no ghetto Boone’s Farm; this is somereal wine.” ncG1vNJzZmidp2OwsLmOmqmtoZOhsnB%2Bj2lvaGhkZH11e8uio2ain6N6uLXNnmSloV8%3D
Grizzled former Marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger tackles the granddaddy of all conspiracy theories — the 1963 Kennedy assassination — in his latest adventure. Hunter’s reliance on film references and clichés has left Swagger a rather dull boy — comparing him to Clint Eastwood and John Wayne passes for detail — but the author’s obsessive attention to the events of Nov. 22 yields a stunningly plausible theory that will have readers holding the book in one hand and Googling satellite photos of Dealey Plaza and the Texas School Book Depository with the other.
