Spoiler Alert – This review does contain details of HBO/Max’s May 31 debuting Mountainhead movie – but not the ones they asked us not to reveal.

If you are still mourning Jesse Armstrong’s now departed Succession, then the Emmy winning writer’s HBO movie Mountainhead will provide the satirical methadone and “grin f*cking” you’ve been craving.

Still, as is the case with the opiate substitute, despite the altitude of the Park City location, the Ramy Youssef, Cory Michael Smith, Steve Carell, & Jason Schwartzman starrer might not get you as high as you want.

Filmed deftly and swiftly on location just a couple of months ago in the magnificent peaks of Sundance’s soon-to-be former home of Park City, Utah, multi-Emmy winner Armstrong’s directorial debut depicts a weekend poker retreat by a quartet of tech overlords gone very wrong as the world blows up. While not quite Mary Shelly,...

Chicago – Television has changed so much in the last generation that it’s hard to imagine a time of only three networks and a limited number of shows premiering every fall. But in the 1970s there were two such TV series, “The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries,” starring Parker Stevenson, and “What’s Happening!!,” starring Ernest Thomas. They both made appearances at the “Hollywood Show” in Chicagoland.

The “Hollywood Show” is an event in which fans can mingle, take photographs and get autographs from the celebrities who appear there, and takes place in Chicago, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The next session will take place in Los Angeles on January 8th-10th, 2016. For complete details and ticket purchase information, click here.

As Bobbi Kristina Brown remains hospitalized after being found unconscious in her bathtub on Jan. 31, dark stories are emerging about the friends she surrounded herself with before - and after - her famous mother's death. After Whitney Houston died in 2012, Brown had trouble coping with her mother's death, turning to boyfriend Nick Gordon and close friends to help her deal with her monumental loss, since the two were so close, sources tell People. But some are now wondering about the people she spent time with - and the influence they had on the emotionally fragile 21-year-old. Brown "is plagued by demons,...

"I confirm the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety had an active arrest warrant for [Ms.] Bobbi Kristina Brown. The warrant was issued because [...]...

Bobbi Kristina Brown isn't the only one with bad motoring skills. On the same day the late Whitney Houston's daughter crashed her car in Alpharetta, Ga., her adopted brother/erstwhile boyfriend, Nick Gordon, was busted for reckless driving. E! News confirms that Brown's former fiancé was pulled over at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday by Alpharetta police, who clocked him going 82 mph in a 35 mph zone. He was behind the wheel of a grey Chevy Camaro—not unlike the black Camaro Bobbi Kristina was driving when she hurtled off a roadside embankment earlier in the day and escaped without injury. George Gordon, executive officer of the Alpharetta Department of Public Safety, tells E!...

Fox is planning to turn EA Games' hit video game Battlefield: Bad Company into a TV series! The project is being developed John Eisendrath who worked on the J.J. Abrams TV series Alias. It will be an hour long action comedy that will also be written by Eisendrath. The series, Bad Company, will feature the main characters from the game, and will follow four renegade soldiers as they exit military life and enter the private sector.

The game is set in a near future war between the Russian Federation and the United States. The four main characters are composed of troublemakers whose use in the battlefield is limited to the role of cannon fodder. Private Preston Marlowe is the game's protagonist, newly transferred to the company. The more intelligent but nervous Private Terrence Sweetwater serves as a foil to Private George Gordon Haggard, Jr., a pyromaniac and the comic relief of the story.

A few years back, film director Stuart Gordon had the thought that his gore-filled 1985 horror movie Re-Animator might be improved with the addition of some songs. It was an odd idea — but an ultimately successful one. In the spring of 2011, Re-Animator: The Musical opened at Hollywood’s Steve Allen Theater to great reviews (Variety hailed it as “an entertainment of rich rewards and high accomplishment”) and tonight the play officially starts a second run at the Hayworth Theatre, prior to engagements at the New York Musical Theatre Festival and the Edinburgh Festival. The H.P. Lovecraft-inspired tale stars Graham Skipper...
