Will Arnett Teaming with Netflix for Comedy Series 'Flaked' Posted: Will Arnett is continuing his Netflix takeover: The "Arrested Development" and "BoJack Horseman" star is teaming with the streaming service on a new series. "Flaked" will be an eight-episode comedy centered around Chip (Arnett), a so-called "guru" in Venice, California who falls for his best friend's crush, and then attempts "to stay one step ahead of his own lies," per an official synopsis. Arnett co-created and co-wrote the series with Mark Chappell ("The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret"), and is also re-teaming with his "Arrested" boss Mitch Hurwitz, who is co-executive producing the project. "We're very excited to partner with Netflix -- the home of original, original content - and the network I knew would be the ideal home for this passion project," Arnett said in a statement. "We are thrilled to be the home of Will Arnett's next series, and look forward to Chip joining his repertoire alongside such diverse and inspirational characters such as Gob, Bojack, and Batman," said Cindy Holland, vice president of original content at Netflix, in a statement. "Flaked" is set to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2016. [via: Variety] Photo credit: This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Jennifer Lawrence Taking 'The Dive' with James Cameron, Francis Lawrence Posted: Jennifer Lawrence and her "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" and "Mockingjay" director Francis Lawrence are teaming up with Oscar winner James Cameron for a new ocean-themed biopic. TheWrap reports that the trio will work together on "The Dive," the true story of married couple Francisco "Pipin" Ferraras and Audrey Mestre, freedivers who competed with each other to see who could dive the furthest underwater using a single breath of air. Mestre died in 2002 during one of those dives, in an attempt to break her own world record of 557.7 feet. Jennifer Lawrence will play Mestre in the film, and Francis Lawrence will direct. Cameron, who has filmed Ferraras attempting his late wife's last dive, will produce the film. No word yet on when production is expected to start, or who will play Ferraras. Stay tuned.

'Beetlejuice 2' Could Start Shooting Later This Year (Fingers Crossed) Posted: Buzz about a potential "Beetlejuice 2" has been ongoing pretty much ever since the classic Tim Burton film first hit theaters in 1988. But now, with Burton confirming that a sequel is indeed in the works, it seems that the movie is actually, really, 100 percent happening -- and may begin production as early as this year. Writer Seth Grahame-Smith ("Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"), who's co-writing the script and co-producing the flick with his "Dark Shadows" collaborator Burton, gave a status report on the project in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, and dished out a bunch of scoop about the follow-up. First, Grahame-Smith confirmed what Burton had alluded to during a recent press tour for "Big Eyes": Winona Ryder will be back. And after publicly hinting that he'd be interested in the sequel, Michael Keaton is also on board, according to Grahame-Smith. As for what the writer's script entails, Grahame-Smith didn't provide any actual details about a plot, though he did say he'd already written several drafts, and has gotten approval from Burton and Keaton. "I think we landed on the right idea, landed on the right approach," the writer told EW. "It's just now making sure that-for me-I don't want to s--t my pants in front of the entire world making a sequel to one of my favorite movies." As for when the world might finally see the heavily-anticipated flick, Grahame-Smith indicated that production could begin sometime later in 2015. "Where it stands now is Tim's got to get ready to make ['Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children'], and then hopefully we are set, deals are done, and we're waiting in the wings ready to go right after 'Peregrine's' wraps up," Grahame-Smith told EW. "The ideal timeline is we're really getting into it toward the end of this year." We can't wait.

Betty White's Touching 93rd Birthday Surprise will Make Your Day (VIDEO) Posted: It's hard to believe, but American treasure Betty White has been gracing our television screens -- and stealing our hearts -- since the 1940s. So for her recent 93rd birthday, White's costars and crew from her TV Land series "Hot in Cleveland" wanted to do something special for the actress. In a clip posted by TV Land, White is being driven to the set, when she's greeted by a hulu dancer. According to the network, this is a daily ritual for White, whose assistant usually performs the dance for her. But in honor of White's birthday (which was Saturday), the entire cast and crew of "Hot in Cleveland" got in on the action, throwing the actress a surprise hula flash mob, which culminated in a dance featuring co-stars Jane Leeves, Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick, and Garry Marshall. As the golf cart carrying White made its way through the crowd, and the birthday girl realized what was happening, her face filled emotion; you can tell that the surprise meant a lot to White, and it's hard not to get a little misty right along with her. "At 93, you shouldn't be doing this!" the stunned star exclaimed to the crowd. Check out the sweet clip below. Happy birthday, Betty!

Kate McKinnon Is the Perfect Justin Bieber in SNL's Calvin Klein Parody (VIDEO) Posted: "Saturday Night Live" star Kate McKinnon has busted out her pitch-perfect Justin Bieber parody before, but the comedian may have outdone herself this time. During host Kevin Hart's episode this past Saturday, McKinnon offered up yet another awesome impression of the Biebs, this time mocking his recent Calvin Klein ads. McKinnon is absolutely hilarious in the series of fake commercials (which have expanded from the two that made it on air to an additional clip online), striking poses that are eerily similar to the pop star's: folding her hands in prayer, cocking her eyebrows and gripping her chin in satisfaction, and chasing down an increasingly annoyed-looking model (Cecily Strong). The spots really speak for themselves, though. Check them out below, and prepare to be amazed at McKinnon's comedic gift. Here's hoping Bieber continues giving the "SNL" actress fodder for years to come. Photo credit: Hulu This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Oscars 2015: The Reasons for the Black Shutout Are More Complicated Than You Think Posted: Well, with last Thursday's announcement of the Oscar nominations, the sometimes ratings-challenged Academy Awards got all the traditional media and online attention they could have wished for. Too bad almost all of the attention was negative. Usually, Oscar controversies are about taste -- whether "Crash" was really better than "Brokeback Mountain," or whether "Shakespeare in Love" was really better than "Saving Private Ryan." This year's controversy over "Selma," however, is shining an unflattering light on Hollywood's racial politics. The snubbing of "Selma" in every category except Best Song and, curiously, Best Picture -- that's only part of what has professional and amateur critics up in arms. As many have noted, this year is the first since 1998 that no actors of color have been nominated. The nominations list has drawn predictable condemnation from the likes of Spike Lee and Rev. Al Sharpton, who has threatened to go to Hollywood and take unspecified steps to remedy the situation. Even Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the president of the Academy, has felt compelled to address the outrage. Meanwhile, on Twitter, #OscarsSoWhite has become a trending hashtag. It's a little too easy to blame this year's awards slate on old-fashioned racism. After all, this is the same Academy that, last year, named "12 Years a Slave" Best Picture, nominated Steve McQueen for Best Director, nominated Chiwetel Ejiofor for Best Actor, nominated Barkhad Abdi for Best Supporting Actor, and named Lupita Nyong'o Best Supporting Actress. And Alfonso Cuaron became the first Latino to win Best Director. And this year, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu could become the second; his film "Birdman" tied with "The Grand Budapest Hotel" for most nominations this year (nine each), including Best Picture. Conversely, Clint Eastwood failed to score a nomination for himself for directing "American Sniper," even though the film was cited for Best Picture and several other categories. Did he not get the nomination because he's white? Or because the liberals in the Academy still won't forgive him for his chair speech at the Republican National Convention in 2012? Still, this year's sudden white-out seems fishy. But if it's not straight-out racism, a lot of other excuses have been trotted out to explain it. A lot of awards-season voters didn't receive "Selma" DVD screeners in time. The controversy over the film's historical accuracy may have soured some Academy members on the film. (Though similar controversies over the factuality of "Foxcatcher" and "The Imitation Game" didn't keep those films from getting a slew of nominations.) Or maybe this was just such a strong year for films that there just wasn't room to recognize the contributions of black people to the industry this year. This last reason sounds especially specious. Not to slight the Best Actor nominees this year, but was David Oyelowo's performance as Rev. Martin Luther King in "Selma" -- the one element of the movie no one seemed to find fault with -- not worthy to be included among them? And aside from "Selma," was Chadwick Boseman's performance as James Brown in "Get On Up" a lesser achievement than those of the white actors nominated for biopic roles this year? Did Gugu Mbatha-Raw not deserve consideration for her starring roles in "Belle" or "Beyond the Lights"? Was Chris Rock's screenplay for "Top Five" not worthy of inclusion? Did cinematographer Bradford Young, who shot both "Selma" and "A Most Violent Year," not deserve a nod? Did not one black person do Oscar-worthy work this year? Rather, the problem seems more complicated and systemic. It's been pointed out that the Academy membership is 94 percent white. This, in turn, is probably reflective of what the film industry looks like as a whole, especially behind the camera. As Chris Rock has noted, people in Hollywood tend to hire other people who resemble themselves. That's not necessarily racism, just a failure of imagination, an inability to think outside the box. The Academy Awards seem to work the same way; voters tend to choose nominees from their own background unless (like last year) they're given a compelling reason not to. The answer to the problem, then, seems to require a more diverse Academy membership. Which is something that Academy president Boone Isaacs (who is the Academy's first black president) says her organization is working toward. Addressing the nomination controversy, she told the Associated Press, "In the last two years, we've made greater strides than we ever have in the past toward becoming a more diverse and inclusive organization through admitting new members and more inclusive classes of members," Without directly criticizing this year's slate of nominees or the process that created it, she added, "And, personally, I would love to see and look forward to see a greater cultural diversity among all our nominees in all of our categories." Of course, for her to add more minority folk to the Academy roster, there have to be more of them finding work in Hollywood. Which ultimately means there has to be more diversity in the executive suites among those who make hiring decisions, both in front of and behind the camera. It would make economic sense. After all, according to the Motion Picture Association of America, Latinos go to the movies more often than other Americans, and white people go less often. (African-Americans make up 12 percent of frequent moviegoers, consistent with their numbers in the populace as a whole.) Yet it's only recently that the studios have recognized Latinos as a market worth courting, or that African-Americans want to see more than just Tyler Perry and Kevin Hart movies. The current box-office success of "Selma" and its overwhelmingly positive word-of-mouth (measured by a rare A+ grade at CinemaScore) suggests that, not only are black audiences hungry for more substantive and dramatic stories in which they can see their own hopes and aspirations reflected on screen, but that some white viewers are interested in such stories as well. The studio system in general is not poised to make such films, not because of racism but because the distributors are wedded to the blockbuster business model. All their eggs are in the giant-acton-spectacle basket, since such movies return hundreds of millions of dollars. Modestly budgeted dramas like "Selma" (or "The Theory of Everything" or "The Imitation Game," for that matter) aren't part of the business plan because their returns, while profitable, are also modest. These may be the kind of movies that win Oscars, but the major studios have all but abandoned that business to the independents. Again, it's more about a failure of imagination than outright bigotry. Perhaps the wisest perspective on the situation comes from erstwhile firebrand Spike Lee, whom the Oscars famously snubbed 25 years ago for directing the landmark "Do the RIght Thing," a movie that the Academy ultimately overlooked for Best Picture in favor of "Driving Miss Daisy," a comforting racial fable that, a quarter-century later, looks quaintly patronizing at best. Talking to the Daily Beast, Lee pointed out that the ultimate arbiter of quality is not the Academy but history. Today, he pointed out, "nobody is talking about motherf---in' 'Driving Miss Daisy.' That film is not being taught in film schools all around the world like 'Do the Right Thing' is." He added. "You can't go to awards like the Oscars or the Grammys for validation. The validation is if your work still stands 25 years later." This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

What's New on TV, Netflix Streaming, Digital, and DVD/Blu-ray This Week: January 19 - 25 Posted: At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what's streaming on Netflix, we've got you covered. New on DVD and Blu-ray "The Boxtrolls" Laika's latest stop-motion film is about a kiddo named Eggs (Isaac Hempstead Wright) who is raised by a gaggle of trolls under the streets of Cheesebridge. It got pretty good reviews, as well as an Oscar nomination, and while it hasn't snatched up as many eyes and hearts as "Coraline" or "ParaNorman," it's still a solid kid's movie. The Blu-ray includes audio commentary from directors Graham Annable and Anthony Stacchi, as well as a few other extra goodies. "Lucy" Scarlett Johansson's actioner has been available digitally, but now you can snag it on Blu-ray. "My Winnipeg" Guy Maddin's wonderfully weird ode to his hometown is finally on Criterion. In addition to your typical Criterion updates -- a high-def digital video transfer, improved audio soundtrack, etc. -- it includes five short films, a featurette that's a live recording of a Toronto screening narrated by Maddin himself, and some other cool stuff. "Working Girl" This rom-com from the late Mike Nichols is finally on Blu-ray. Check out Melanie Griffith as a plucky secretary who has to figure out how to maneuver all the typical office BS, including a boss (Sigourney Weaver) who steals her ideas. The excellent supporting cast includes Joan Cusack, Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, and a bevy of others. Definitely worth adding to your collection, despite a dearth of special features. TV Worth Watching "Justified" (Tuesday, FX at 10 p.m. EST) The first episode of the last season of this gun-happy drama premieres, and the teasers are promising that things will start off with a bang. Gun-toting Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) and charming criminal Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) are still at it after all these years, and it looks like their mutual love Ava (Joelle Carter) has some big decisions to make. "American Horror Story: Freak Show" (Wednesday, FX at 10 p.m. EST) It's the season finale of this freaky deaky late-night drama. Quite a few characters have already been killed off, but surely more will meet a grisly end in tonight's episode. Who will live and who will die? Tune in and find out! New on Netflix "Death Comes to Pemberley" If you didn't catch this British mini-series on PBS, now's your chance! Jane Austen fans will want to sign right up for P.D. James's sorta sequel to "Pride and Prejudice," which picks up six years after Austen's book leaves off. And there's a murder mystery! "Kids for Cash" It sounds like something from "Law and Order," but this doc is all too true. Pennsylvania scandal centers on a judge who seems like he's just a tough cookie on kids, but is actually getting kickbacks from sending them to a private juvenile facility. "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" This was one of Netflix's New Year's additions, but it's still notable. Because, hello, now you can watch "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" any time of the day or night, and that's worth a reminder. New Video on Demand, Rental Streaming, and Digital Only "Dear White People" (iTunes, January 20) Justin Simien's feature-length directorial debut is about four very different African American students navigating life and establishing identities at an Ivy League school. Tessa Thompson ("Selma") rocks as a student whose radio show "Dear White People" takes aim at campus politics. Brandon P. Bell, Tyler James Williams, and Teyonah Parris co-star. "The Comeback" (iTunes, January 19) The comeback of this short-lived HBO series is just as cringe-inducingly awkward the second time around. Lisa Kudrow stars as washed-up sitcom star Valerie Cherish as she continues her valiant attempts to resuscitate her career by taking on a role on a TV show while simultaneously spearheading her own reality show. "Patton Oswalt: Comedy Plus Tragedy Equals Time" (Amazon Prime) Bobcat Goldthwait directs this stand-up special starring actor and comedian Patton Oswalt.

'American Sniper' Astounds With Record $105M MLK Weekend Posted: JAKE COYLE, AP Film Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Clint Eastwood's R-rated Iraq War drama "American Sniper" opened in January like a superhero movie in July, taking in a record $105.3 million over the Martin Luther King Jr. four-day weekend. The film's success obliterated forecasts and set numerous box-office records. It easily surpassed "Avatar" to become the biggest January weekend ever. This was actually the third week of release for "American Sniper," which played in just a handful of theaters for two weeks. That release helped stoke demand for the film, in which Bradley Cooper stars as Navy SEAL marksman Chris Kyle. The resounding wide-release opening is also tops for the 84-year-old Eastwood. And it, in one weekend, gives the Oscar best-picture race something it was lacking: a big box-office hit. "American Sniper" is nominated for six Academy Awards.

Thank God: BBC's Series Will Remain on Netflix Posted: Well this is a huge relief: the BBC and Netflix have hugged it out and the British series threatening to leave the streaming service at the end of the month (among them: "Top Gear," "Luther," the original "House of Cards" and, critically, "Doctor Who" and its spin-off "Torchwood") are secure. As The Best of Netflix points out, "these types of last minute deals are often very common." The site theorizes that the shows will be around at least for "the next several months," although points out that most of these contract re-ups last for a year or more. We have actually just started making our way through the vast and complicated "Doctor Who"-niverse and are somewhere in the David Tennant years, so we would have to do a lot of cramming in order to make it through before Netflix pulled the plug. And we haven't even gotten into "Torchwood" yet! Below is the list of series saved from the chopping block. Certainly the public outcry following the news of these series getting zapped made an impact, so, if your favorite show is looking like it's going off of the provider, please make a stink on social media. It actually does help! Classic "Doctor Who" "Doctor Who" seasons 1 -7 "Copper" seasons 1-2 "House of Cards" trilogy "Keeping Up Appearances" season 1 "Luther" seasons 1-3 "Monarch of the Glen" seasons 1-6 "North & South" "Robin Hood" seasons 1-3 "The Buccaneers" "The Office" U.K. seasons 1-2 "Top Gear" seasons 17-20 "Torchwood" seasons 1-4 "Wallander" seasons 1-3 This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Amazon to Produce Theatrical Features Posted: Well this is certainly exciting: Amazon Studios, which recently scored big time with their Golden Globe-winning original series "Transparent," has announced that they will be releasing theatrical films, up to 12 a year, with Amazon Prime subscribers getting an initial viewing window as soon as a month after the movie premieres. Whether or not this proves to be a game-changer remains to be seen, but it's very exciting news all the same. "We look forward to expanding our production efforts into feature films. Our goal is to create close to twelve movies a year with production starting later this year," said Roy Price, Vice President, Amazon Studios, in an officially released statement. "Not only will we bring Prime Instant Video customers exciting, unique, and exclusive films soon after a movie's theatrical run, but we hope this program will also benefit filmmakers, who too often struggle to mount fresh and daring stories that deserve an audience." What's even more exciting is who Amazon has placed in charge of Amazon Original Movies' creative development: Ted Hope, a luminary on the American independent film scene having co-founded Good Machine and produced everything from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to "American Splendor." In the same press release, Hope said: "Audiences already recognize that Amazon has raised the bar with productions in the episodic realm, tackling bold material in unique ways and collaborating with top talent, both established and emerging. To help carry the torch into the feature film world for such an innovative company is a tremendous opportunity and responsibility. Amazon Original Movies will be synonymous with films that amaze, excite, and move our fans, wherever customers watch. I am incredibly thrilled to be part of this." Production on the first feature film is scheduled to begin later this year. It will be super interesting to see what kind of talent the Amazon paradigm attracts - will it be older filmmakers who find it increasingly difficult to secure funding for films that they once found relatively easy to make, relative unknowns that Amazon wants to groom personally, or independent filmmakers drawn in by the allure of artistic freedom and wide distribution model? Only time will tell! This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Ronald Reagan Is a Character in 'Fargo' Season 2 Posted: There have been a lot of questions regarding the second season of FX's beloved, Golden Globe-winning "Fargo," which capped off whirlwind first season in pretty definitive fashion. Initially series creator Noah Hawley (working from the equally revered Coen Brothers movie of the same name) said that the second season would go into the past, to a story recounted in the first season by Lou Solverson (Keith Carradine, to be played by Patrick Wilson in this new season), about some criminal activity he investigated following his return from Vietnam. After the TCA winter press tour, FX CEO John Langraf shared some additional details with Entertainment Weekly. "It covers something that was referenced in the first installment by Lou Solverson, Molly Solverson's [Allison Tolman] father," Langraf told EW. "It's a big sprawling, in some ways, more comedic [season], though at times, a very serious show. It's set in the late '70s against the backdrop of Ronald Reagan's first campaign for President of the United States. Reagan is a character in it." Later, he confided to EW that "Reagan will be interacting with our characters," although the role has yet to be cast. The rest of the cast has been rounded out, though, with, according to the site: " Ted Danson as Hank Larsson, Lou's unflappable father-in-law; Nick Offerman as Karl Weathers, a local lawyer; Jean Smart as Floyd Gerhardt, the matriarch of the Gerhardt crime family; Jeffrey Donovan as her eldest son, Dodd Gerhardt; Angus Sampson as her inarticulate middle son, Bear Gerhardt; Kieran Culkin as her youngest son, Rye Gerhardt; and Kirsten Dunst as small town beautician Peggy Blomquist, and her husband Ed (Jesse Plemons), who attempts to be supportive of his wife's self-discovery, even if he doesn't quite understand it." The 10-episode miniseries starts production today, with episodes beginning to air this fall on FX. We cannot wait. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

Watch Kevin Hart's Amazing 'SNL' Digital Short About Gentrification (VIDEO) Posted: This weekend Kevin Hart starred in an above-average "Saturday Night Live" and a below-average romantic comedy ("The Wedding Ringer," which came in at #2 on the box office). When it came to the former, he was saddled with some so-so sketches and truly exemplary digital short - one that focused on the formerly rough streets of Brooklyn falling to extreme gentrification (yes, you will hear Kevin Hart, in full-on gangster mode, say the words "artisanal mayonnaise place"). You can watch the video below. In the sketch, Hart and two friends (played by Kenan Thompson and Jay Pharaoh) are standing on a street corner in Bushwick and acting pretty hood, talking about their thug life, which includes the new dog walking business one of them is running, a life-drawing class that somebody is taking, and how much they love gelato. Our new favorite put-down: "You're acting like someone put gluten in your muffin." Just watch it and love it; it was certainly the highlight of the episode in our opinion and further evidence that Kevin Hart is one of the funniest human beings on the planet.

Recap of Revenge Season 4 Episode 13: "The Fugitive(s)" Posted: Last week on "Revenge," Victoria Grayson and Emily Thorne were in the middle of a good ol' fashioned screaming match when everyone's favorite Canadian, Malcolm Black (and his inexplicably Irish accent), shot them with tranquilizers. Now these arch enemies are rotting away in a jail cell (which we fear has neither running water nor an endless supply of Louboutins), while everyone else is epically failing to rescue them. No seriously, Jack Porter is not qualified to be a policeman. Someone please help him help himself. Victoria and Emily Get Their Bond On, Jack Porter Attempts To Hatch A Plan Victoria and Emily have been Malcolm-napped, and now it's up to David Clarke and Jack Porter to save them. In other words, we're so worried. To make matters worse, Malcolm wants his daughter, Agent Kate Taylor, alive -- which is slightly tricky considering that Jack murdered her. The thought of David and Jack being responsible for Victoria and Emily's fate is a terrifying prospect (neither of them has a great track record with...well, anything, if we're honest), but fortunately, Jack convinces Officer Ben Hunter to join the dream team. Sure, Ben is slightly moody due to being left out of the revengey loop, but at least he has a few functioning brain cells. With his help, Jack and David re-edit Kate's voice messages so Malcolm thinks she's alive, and then Ben and Jack set about locating Emily and Victoria. Sounds like a plan! Of course David is no help whatsoever, and decides to go on some insane vigilante mission all on his lonesome. Meanwhile, Victoria and Emily spend their time in jail braiding each other's hair and making friendship lanyards, by which we mean arguing every spare second they get. And to make matters more tense, Victoria gives up Jack's name in exchange for her potential freedom, which prompts Emily to tell Victoria that David's trying to kill her. Um, rude. (Note: turns out this is actually a ploy to get Jack's attention -- keep reading!) Louise Ellis Gains Her Freedom, David's Plan Fails (Surprise, Surprise) Now that Louise Ellis has stopped taking the unprescribed medication that her family was secretly feeding her, she's ready to plot her revenge. The perfect opportunity? When this Southern belle's mother decides to summer in The Hamptons after learning from Lyman that her darling daughter is acting out. Mrs. Ellis threatens to cut off Louise financially, which gives Nolan a brilliant idea: He and Louise should totally get married! That usually solves all probems! These fast friends decide to get hitched on the fly, making Nolan Louise's conservator -- which means he controls her cash flow. Sounds good, except Mrs. Ellis is like (in so many words) "Oh, I forgot to mention that you killed your father and I'm going to tell everyone, bye!" So, yeah, it's safe to say that plan backfired. While Louise battles her domineering mother, one of Malcolm's henchmen pays a visit to Jack and Ben, but fear not -- Ben beats said henchman to a pulp and finds a clue to Emily's location hidden on his body. Meanwhile, David "I Am Literally The Worst At Planning Things Ever" meets up with Malcolm for a daughter switcheroo, but Malcolm immediately realizes that Kate is dead, shoots David in the thigh, and locks him up with Emily and Victoria. You know what that means: Jack and Ben have to save the day. God help us all. Jack Is an Unlikely Hero, Margaux Is an Unlikely Enemy Despite plotting Victoria's death, David (who's being a huge baby about his gun shot wound, by the way) refuses to kill either Emily or Victoria when Malcolm asks him to. Naturally, Malcs decides he should probably burn them to a crisp instead -- starting with Emily! However, before Malcolm can kill off "Revenge's" main revenger, Victoria saves Em's life and tells Malcolm that she killed Kate. Shocking. Of course, before Malcolm can fly into a rage, Ben and Jack actually manage to save the day and Malcolm ends up being shot! Plus, Victoria apologizes to David for betraying him. So...happy ending? Not quite. Remember last week when Victoria told Margaux the truth about Emily? Thanks to all those pregnancy hormones, Margaux basically cannot with Miss Thorne, and decides to reveal her secret. Of course, first she has to hire a henchman of her own to find evidence, and we have a feeling we'll see this handsome fellow when "Revenge" returns next week! Burning Questions 1. Will Margaux actually find evidence against Emily? She's pretty good at covering her tracks. 2. Has Victoria really forgiven Emily and David, or is this just a trick? 3. Ben and Emily were getting pretty cozy at the end -- are they about to start dating, and how will that make Jack feel? 4. Wait, did Louise really kill her dad?! 5. Jack and Ben are basically corrupt cops at this point. Will it come back to bite them? This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now
