Last year marked the 15-year anniversary of Richard Kelly’s debut cult curio, Donnie Darko. On March 31st, the film will hit theaters once again in a brand-new, director-approved 4K restoration. While the film’s cult-status has elevated it into its own separate canon alongside other 21st-century indie-cult hits, Kelly’s two other films — the positively delirious and daring Southland Tales and the labyrinthine sci-fi period piece The Box — prove that he is a director deserving of much greater consideration. Sadly it’s been about eight years since a new film of his has been in theaters, but the time is surely ripe. Kelly’s visions of the end-times feel just as urgent now as they did when we were first introduced to them back in 2001. And since we’re living in a time when the formerly reclusive Terrence Malick is miraculously pumping out multiple films a year, there’s...

On Tuesday, December 27, Carrie Fisher passed away at the age of 60 after suffering a heart attack.

The actress, who immortalized the role of Princess Leia in the “Star Wars” franchise, had gone into cardiac arrest four days earlier when she was flying from London to Los Angeles. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was being treated and later died.

Her tragic and sudden health issues shocked Fisher’s “Star Wars” co-stars and devoted fans, who took to Twitter to send prayers and messages of hope. Though days later, upon hearing the news of her death, the entertainment world and celebrities expressed their heartbreak on social media.

Santa Monica, CA (October 3, 2011) – Lionsgate announced today that it has obtained worldwide rights to develop, produce and distribute films based on the award-winning, best-selling and critically acclaimed “Chaos Walking” young adult novel trilogy by Patrick Ness. The announcement was made by Lionsgate’s co-coo and Motion Picture Group President Joe Drake.

The Carnegie Medal winning books are set in a dystopian future with humans colonizing a distant earth-like planet. When an infection called the Noise suddenly makes all thought audible, privacy vanishes in an instant. In the ensuing chaos, a corrupt autocrat threatens to take control of the human settlements and wage war with the indigenous alien race, and only young Todd Hewitt holds the key to stopping planet wide-destruction.

The right man for the job

As was recently reported here,...

A Db is found in a spring. Brass (Paul Guilfoyle) comments they're all named 'Anthony' and in cement shoes. Ray (Laurence Fishburne) comments on it being a sulphur spring and if bathed in, can provide a beautiful complexion. Brass remarks that the Db's complexion has improved. The Db has an 'L' shaped wound on his head which Ray explains means his head was hit with a pistol. David (David Berman) says the water's nice. Ray believes he was dead when he hit the water or afterwards. Nick (George Eads) thinks it's a body dump. Ray thinks the Pmi was about 4-7 hours and takes a water sample. Just as in last week's episode, Ray, Nick and Brass are called to the Cs together again. Nick spots an oil deposit on the ground, probably from the vehicle that dumped the Db. Also like last episode, Doc Robbins (Robert David Hall) and...
