IFC have given a series green light to Living with Yourself, a scripted comedy from longtime Daily Show producer Tim Greenberg. No cast was announced, but Emmy winner Jeff Blitz (The Office) is attached to direct and executive produce alongside Anthony Bregman and Jeff Stern of Likely Story. The eight-episode series will bow next year. The logline: George Elliot is burned out and facing an impasse in both his personal and professional life. When he undergoes a novel…...

Testament of Youth director James Kent on Vera Brittain: "She was hungry for literature, hungry to see particularly women writers…" Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze

At high noon, before Interview Magazine's New York premiere of Sony Pictures Classics’ Testament Of Youth, starring Alicia Vikander and Kit Harington with Emily Watson, Dominic West, Joanna Scanlan, Taron Egerton, Miranda Richardson, Colin Morgan, Jonathan Bailey and Alexandra Roach, I met up with director James Kent for a conversation on his debut feature film at the Crosby Street Hotel.

BBC Films and Heyday Films' producers David Heyman and Rosie Alison teamed up with Michael Barker and Tom Bernard co-founders of Spc to bring Vera Brittain's classic pacifist memoir to the Us.

Kit Harington (Roland) Alicia Vikander (Vera): "It is about experience. As Roland says to Vera early on when they're beginning to fall in love."

Jeffrey Tambor has been to the comedy mountaintop twice with "The Larry Sanders Show" and "Arrested Development," and has had a long and productive career that's seen him working pretty much non-stop since 1979. So he knows from professional fulfillment. But he's never had a role as challenging, or as potentially rewarding, as his current job on "Transparent," the new Amazon dramedy that will premiere on Friday morning. (Amazon will make all 10 episodes of the first season available at once.) As Maura Pfefferman, a transgender woman known to her family and the world at large as Mort, Tambor has to play another gender — even in scenes set in the past where we get glimpses of Maura peeking out from under Mort's clothes — and do the kind of small, precise dramatic work that he's rarely been called upon to do in his career, let alone as the lead of a show. It's...

Xavier Samuel talk Anonymous Blu-ray, available today

On Blu-ray and DVD starting today, February 7th, Anonymous is the latest dramatic thriller from acclaimed director Roland Emmerich. It attempts to solve the mystery behind the true author of William Shakespeare's most iconic works. Xavier Samuel stars in the film as the Earl of Southampton, a William Shakespeare dedicatee and the focus of his sonnets. We caught up with the actor to discuss some of the controversy behind this exciting new release. Our conversation is below.

There's not much ocean in Anonymous. So what was the draw for you?

Xavier Samuel: (Laughs) Yeah, you are right. I do try to find movies that are near or on the ocean. (Laughs) Look, I think this is a pretty controversial story. Its not often that you get to be in an Elizabethan thriller. I have always been fascinated by William Shakespeare. I...

Watching the trailer for the Canadian-produced TV movie My Babysitter’s a Vampire (making its American premiere Friday on the Disney Channel), the most glaring thing I couldn’t wrap my head around is why a kid that far in his teens still needs a babysitter – a babysitter that looks to be the same age as him.

Is this boy a juvenile delinquent? Is he a total sissy? Are his parents super overprotective? What’s the deal? And is it really a good idea to pair a teenage boy almost assuredly experiencing hormonal overdrive with a really cute girl of an appropriate age for him to engage in the sort of carnal activity the adult film world has taught me always happens whenever an attractive babysitter is hired? That doesn’t seem right at all. Same reason I think it should be illegal for women to order pizza or hire...

We’re back with another tribute to the 1950s from the filmmaker who brought you The Monster of Phantom Lake, It Came From Another World! And Cave Women on Mars… Christopher R. Mihm!

This time around Mihm dives into the darkest nether regions of the earth where a horrifying shock sensation awaits that will bring you thrills, chills and suspense like nothing before! That’s right folks, another mutant creature that is hell-bent on destroying the human race… and this one will eat you alive!

Years of underground atomic testing are never a good idea, especially in the Wisawa caves. Deep down in one of the cave systems caverns, a creature of the night has undergone a terrifying transformation and now it has a taste for flesh… human flesh!

Two small children enter the ominous caves only to be snatched away by a hairy clawed hand. Later that day, while...
