Oscar-nominated revenge drama The Revenant is out in the UK. We talk to its director about its ice-cold shoot, modern filmmaking and more. Freezing sleet stinging the tips of the ears. Icy north wind like sandpaper against the nipples. So what prompted Inarritu to go to such lengths to makeThe Revenant? Those were the questions that were at the front of my mind as I headed to meet Mr Inarritu....
The Flash isn’t short on superheroics. But these are the moments that have really made us feel like we could take on the world. Though the moment is funny, it is also the birth of a superhero. The lightning may have struck him, but that was a passive thing. He did not choose it. He is optimistic and kind. Losing a friend, even a new one, weighs heavily on him....
This article originally appeared onDen of Geek UK. Spoilers lie ahead for each of the films mentioned. Theyre always painfully dull and unrewarding. I know I do. Both roles if both is an appropriate concept are played by Jake Gyllenhaal. I think we can understandEnemyto be rather like many other, more obvious sci-fi parables. Secondly, theres the evocation of a world plagued with AIDS. There was even a sharp ramp up in homophobia....
Why were pirates so angry all the time, anyway? We look at Black Sails through the lens of history! As a historian, this resonated strongly with me. I wanted the audience to be shown the horrors that life at sea could become. Obviously, a TV show cant do this. It distracts from the story at hand, and would introduce confusing, one-shot characters. But its a story that needs to be told if viewers want to understand pirates....
The first Lethal Weapon movie remains a flat-out classic. But the original has something special something unique that sets it apart. Put it down to being the one film in the series that benefited from an unmolested Shane Black screenplay. Put it down to a cast and crew firing on all cylinders to make an unknown quantity work. Put it down to the absence of Joe Pesci. And like his soon-to-be partner, Riggs is set up perfectly....

Scroll below the Jedi Squirrel at your own risk. Star Wars: The Force Awakensmoved at the wild pace of a speeder bike hurtling through an Endor forest.

But it was the Infantino Batman I was expecting to see on TV. ABC began to promoteBatmanin December of 1965, promising a January 66 debut. Gone were the sleek, thin vials of the Infantino utility belt, which were replaced by oversized pouches. Producer William Dozier was the man responsible for the camp approach to Batman. Those particular issues formed the foundation of the entire show. We developed what was called The New Look....
He helped raise Anne Boleyn, and then to bring her and the faction around her to their doom. Henry would later publically lament Cromwells fall, but only far too late. Writer Peter Straughan and director Peter Kosminsky have succeeded in giving us the Cromwell of Mantels imagination. How close that figure is to the man behind the legend is open to question. Ad content continues below The question remains: does it matter?...
With The Hateful Eight in theaters, Quentin Tarantino claims he has only two movies left to make. What should they be? So, what should he possibly do next when faced with his potentially penultimate film? We consider the possibilities… Ill never shoot digital. Kill Bill Vol. I was going to do a new one every 10 years. But I need at least 15 years before I do this again. Ive already got the whole mythology: Sofie Fatale will get all of Bills money....
MTV presentedThe Shannara Chroniclesto the Television Critics Association the day after it premiered. Why was the second book the right one for the series? Its actually pretty easy. The first one did not have any strong female characters. It had one female character and she was very much a supporting character in the book. Wed have to change the sex of the characters or something like that. That was one thing....
Theres also comedy, fantasy, drama, horror and even a musical waiting for you below. Ad content continues below In its heyday,Absolutely Fabulouswas a real comedy coup.

We had over 2000 responses, so weve had to pick and choose. But heres a flavour of what you told us. The first ten minutes of the movie was unwatchable, as the projector wasnt in focus. There was the usual rustling of food wrappers and slurping of drinks. The man two seats across from us kept making weird grunting noises of recognition at every poignant moment. I paid for this privilege!...
