‘Mad TV’ 20th Anniversary Reunion Special Hits The CW In January If you’re not aSaturday Night Livefan like myself, maybe you found some laughs with the sketch comedy seriesMad TVthat ran on Fox from 1995 to 2009. The show was basically an alternative toSNL, opting for recorded sketch comedy with a live audience instead of a live show, though it never really got the same acclaim or audience. But now fans can take a trip down memory lane with aMad TV20th anniversary special coming in January....

‘The Dark Knight,’ ‘Star Wars’ And More Make BBC’s List Of 100 Greatest American Films Everyone now and then, someone takes the time to round up a new list of 100 of the greatest films of all time, and it always stirs up some debate, even though probably 75% of the list is the same as any other. A new list fromBBC Culture, however, is alittledifferent, because the news organization from across the pond has rounded up a list of the100 Greatest American Films, as voted on by an international assembly of film critics....

‘The Fate Of The Furious’: Jason Statham’s Plane Fight Almost Ended Differently One of the best scenes inThe Fate of the Furious(which made some serious cash this past weekend) involvesJason Statham’scharacter, Deckard Shaw, fighting his way through a plane with a particularly special piece of cargo. I won’t mention anything else u[ here in case you haven’t seen it, but it’s a super fun action scene that fully embraces the ridiculousness of the franchise....

‘The Knick’ Trailer: Drugs, Ambition, And Insanity I can’t wait for the October return ofSteven Soderbergh’sThe Knick, which will be going into its second season. Once again, Soderbergh directs and shoots every episode of the series, and probably does much of the editing as well. This new look at the second season is even more appealing than the last because it teases far more stuff, and far weirder stuff — for instance, what’s up with that fireball blowing up in some surgeon’s face towards the end of this latestThe Knicktrailer?...

10 Things We Learned From “Breaking Bad” S5E10 “Buried” As we promised in"The Ones Who Knock" Kickstarter, I will be doing weekly recaps here for each episode ofBreaking Bad. For those of you unfamiliar with my recapping style, it’s less of a straightforward plot summary and more a distillation of the most interesting elements of each week’s episode. The recaps will spoil everything up through the current episode (S5E10 “Buried”), but won’t spoil any future episodes or even scenes from the “Next Time” segment of the show....

Barry Season 3 Review: Bill Hader’s Extremely Dark Comedy Remains One Of The Best Shows Around Right Now Can Barry ever really be forgiven for the horrible things he’s done? It’s a question that arises early in season 3 of “Barry,” the consistently great, increasingly bleak dark comedy from creators Alec Berg and Bill Hader. What started with a simple, seemingly goofy premise — a hitman moves to Hollywood and becomes an actor!...

Below The Fold Clip: A Mysterious Note Sends A Reporter On A Winding Path In Indie Mystery Thriller [Exclusive] A grisly crime. A dedicated reporter bent on uncovering the truth. An obsession that eventually blurs the line between personal duty and a greater moral responsibility. You’d be right to say that countless movies have tackled these ideas before, but that would also inevitably shortchange films like “Zodiac,” “Spotlight,” and countless more (usually starring Mark Ruffalo, naturally) that have done something new and original with such familiar trappings....

Sometimes when you don’t hear about a film project for a long time you just assume that it could have fallen into development heck. I thought this might be the case with The Rock’sBig Troubleremake, especially since the action star keeps getting attached to so many new projects, liketheJumanjiremakeand theRobert Ludlum cinematic universe....

Black Dynamite To Get Fall Release Black Dynamitegenerated a hell of a lot of press based solely on a trailer, and played well at Sundance and better at the Seattle Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award. Sony picked up the film at Sundance, and a release in the latter half of this year has been the target, but Sony always wanted a distribution partner. Now, asVarietyreports, they’ve got one, in the form of new kid on the block Apparition....
