In a new motion filed on Monday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney argued that certain statements from a 2015 interview with prosecturs that Robert Durst, the real estate heir who is charged with the murder of Susan Berman, and his team are trying to get thrown out, doesn’t hold merit.

Durst’s team has been arguing that the March 15, 2015 interview should not be admissible, but, as the D.A. points out, the court has rejected those attempts. Durst’s team’s latest attempt has been to try and exclude certain statements, which the D.A. said in the motion are “completely unsupported by the facts and the law, and in addition, fail to meet even the most rudimentary standards for exclusion under EC 352.5.”

“As the Court is painfully aware, the admissibility of Defendant’s March 15, 2015 interview (“Nola Interview”) has been challenged, litigated, and relitigated in every legitimate, and sometimes illegitimate,...

Opening remarks

It’s not even February and, already, 2014 is shaping up to be a massive year for television. True Detective announced itself as the year’s first new stand-out series. Against all odds, Dan Harmon and Community returned and are putting together a respectable comeback season. FX’s fantastic and hard-working Justified continues to solidify its place among the greats of the past decade. And Girls‘ unique blend of comedy and drama is once again pushing the narrative boundaries of the half-hour series in its third season.

One series, though, is leading the charge at the beginning of the year. The most unlikely of heroes, Cinemax’s Banshee, in just a matter of three weeks, has matured into something truly special – something a lot of TV writers refer to as “appointment viewing” when describing other series. With limited experience dabbling in co-produced original programming, Cinemax released Banshee – its first...

For its season one send off though, Banshee threw off the covers and romped through an hour of all-out action, capped off with a head-spinning final ten minutes.

For the first time since the pilot episode, the character given the most focus is Anthony Starr’s Sheriff Lucas Hood. Pre-credits and throughout the episode, we’re treated to some conversations Hood had with his parole officer halfway through his time in prison. We know Hood served his full fifteen-year sentence, so we immediately know this can’t end well...

Some time ago, a select group of online journalists had the pleasure of being flown down to New Orleans, Louisiana by the Warner Brothers to visit the film set of highly anticipated supernatural love story, Beautiful Creatures.

Oscar nominee Richard Lagravenese directs his adaptation of the first part about a boy named Ethan who longs to escape his small town and tries to help a mysterious new girl with magic powers named Lena. Together, the star-crossed lovers uncover dark secrets about their history, families and shady town. This intriguing and popular fictional tale, which everyone is buzzing about has a huge following and is rumored to possibly become as big as the Twilight trilogy with a sprinkle of black magic.
