| 'Wolverine 3' Will Be Rated R, Violent, Bold, and 'Like a Western in Its Tone' Posted:
Interesting. It was already leaked but not confirmed, until now, that "Wolverine 3" would follow "Deadpool" with an R rating. He's emphasizing how different it will be, presumably from the past two "Wolverine" films and possibly from past "X-Men" films in general. It sounds like the R may come from violence more than anything. A Western tone, though? What do you think so far? "Wolverine 3" (which may get a different title in a bit) is being directed by James Mangold, with Jackman's co-stars including Boyd Holbrook, Richard E. Grant, Stephen Merchant, and Eriq La Salle. It's currently scheduled for release March 3, 2017. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. 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: May 9-15 Posted:  At a loss for what to watch this week? From new DVDs and Blu-rays, to what's new on Netflix and TV, we've got you covered.New on DVD and Blu-ray "Deadpool" Not every movie -- not even every good movie -- is worth an immediate Blu-ray investment, but you're going to want to clear a sexy spot in your house for Ryan Reynolds's "Deadpool." The top R-rated movie around the world is out on DVD and Blu-ray May 10. We could list the Blu-ray features, but it's much more fun to get them from the Merc with a Mouth himself:  "Regression" Emma Watson and Ethan Hawke star in this psychological horror film from writer/director Alejandro Amenabar ("The Others"). The film releases on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital HD, and On Demand on May 10. "Where to Invade Next" Michael Moore's latest incendiary documentary/opinion piece, this time about the American military, comes out on DVD/Blu-ray on May 10. "Scream: The TV Series" A viral YouTube video leads to murder and other trouble for the teenagers of Lakewood in this MTV adaptation of the late Wes Craven's film "Scream." Season 1 of the TV series arrives on DVD May 10, which should give you enough time to catch up and prepare for the premiere of Season 2 on May 31. Special features include a gag reel and deleted scenes. New Video on Demand, Rental Streaming, and Digital Only "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"  As the wise Seth Grahame-Smith once wrote, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." The Bennett sisters and Mr. Darcy unite to fight a zombie (walker?) outbreak in 19th century England in this film adaptation of the best-selling novel that was itself based on Jane Austen's classic. Lily James leads a stellar cast, including "Game of Thrones" Lannisters Charles Dance and Lena Headey, plus Sam Riley, Jack Huston, Bella Heathcote, Douglas Booth, and Matt Smith. Catch the movie on Digital HD May 10 before the Blu-ray/DVD releases on May 31. Bonus featurettes include "Courtship, Class and Carnage: Meet the Cast" and "From Austen to Zombies: Adapting a Classic." Blu-ray exclusives include deleted scenes, a gag reel, the featurettes "The Badass Bennet Sisters" and "Creating the Unmentionables," and a Mr. Collins Line-o-rama.Check out this exclusive behind-the-scenes clip with the cast, including Lena Headey admitting she wanted to do this film, in part, because "I've wanted to wear an eyepatch for 20 years": "Kung Fu Panda 3" It's panda party time! The "Kung Fu Panda 3: Awesome Edition" arrives on Digital HD on May 13, well ahead of the Blu-ray and DVD releases on June 28. Jack Black returns to voice Po, who reunites with his long-lost father and travels to a secret village meeting a bunch of fun new panda friends and family members. But Po also has to train these newbies into a band of Kung Fu Pandas to battle supernatural villain Kai. Extras include a bunch of fun (and adorable) featurettes, plus deleted scenes. "I Am Your Father" May 4th was Star Wars Day, but you can continue the celebration with this documentary about David Prowse, the actor behind the mask of Darth Vader in the Star Wars saga. The doc is available for download May 10. Check out the trailer: New on Netflix "Chelsea" (Netflix Original) Chelsea Handler's new half-hour Netflix talk show, which should not be confused with her "Chelsea Does..." series, debuts May 11. As Netflix teased, "It's not her first talk show, but it's a first of its kind. Ideas, people, and places that fascinate her, three times a week, all in her unique style." According to ScreenCrush, her guests for the first week's three episodes include Drew Barrymore, Pitbul, U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tony Hale, TEDTalk's Chris Anderson, Amy Dallen, and the cast of "Captain America: Civil War." Here's more from the synopsis: "Join Chelsea as she travels around the world – from Russia, Japan, and Mexico City, across the U.S. and back again to Sony Pictures Studios, where she tapes in front of a LIVE in-studio audience – to explore the subjects that matter most to you."
"Bleeding Heart" Jessica Biel plays a yoga instructor who tries to protect her estranged sister (Zosia Mamet) from an abusive relatinship in this 2015 drama, available on Netflix May 12. Kate Burton, Edi Gathegi, Joe Anderson, and Harry Hamlin co-star. "Goosebumps" Jack Black leads the cast of this 2015 family horror comedy, based on the book series by R.L. Stine, and you can watch it on Netflix starting May 11. TV Worth Watching "Quantico" (Sunday on ABC at 10 p.m.)  This is a huge week for season finales, including "Damien," "Grandfathered," "New Girl," "The Grinder," "Underground, "The Big Bang Theory," "Scandal," "2 Broke Girls," "The Vampire Diaries," "Hawaii Five-O," and "Quantico." Very few freshman series have success like Priyanka Chopra's "Quantico," and even though it has slipped in the ratings over the course of Season 1, it is still keeping fans talking, and guessing. The finale, Episode 22 is called "Yes," with this official synopsis from ABC: "It's graduation day for the NATS of Quantico, while, in the future, Alex (Chopra) and her team find themselves head-to-head with the terrorist.""The Last Man on Earth" (Sunday on FOX at 9:30 p.m.) Thank Tandy this show is coming back for a third season, 'cause it is just not in front of our half-shaven faces nearly enough. Season 2 of Will Forte's crazy not-so-solo ride through a fairly pleasant apocalypse ends with "30 Years of Science Down the Tubes." According to FOX, in the May 15 finale, "Phil and Mike grow closer than ever and the whole Malibu group gets a big friggin' surprise." Don't kill off Mike, please! Or really anyone! "The Amazing Race" (Friday on CBS at 8 p.m.) Season 28, which was cast with Internet stars (please don't do that again, CBS), comes to a close May 13 with the title "The Only First That Matters." Who will win this, Tyler & Korey, Dana & Matt, or Sheri & Cole? (Probably Tyler & Korey but it would be great for underdogs Sheri & Cole to pull out a surprise victory.) "Inside Amy Schumer" (Thursday on Comedy Central at 10 p.m.) Not everything this week is about finales. Amy Schumer's fourth season just started April 21, and so far it's as sharp as ever. The May 12 episode is called "Sociopath" and here's what to expect: "Amy plays the saxophone; attempting to buy a shirt; getting elected President of the United States." Want more stuff like this?

| Bryan Singer: Dropping Deadpool Into X-Men World Could Be a Disaster Posted:
True. The tones are very different. Maybe not quite as different as dropping Deadpool into the dark and earnest DC world of Batman and Superman, but in the same ballpark. Professor X does not do fourth-wall breaking or jerking off.  However, there's potential for the X-Men/Deadpool worlds to collide in an "X-Force" movie, and the major players have discussed that. As Collider described it, the comics X-Force team is "essentially a slightly darker, more aggressive version of the X-Men, with members including Deadpool, Colossus, Cyclops, Archangel, Wolverine, and Cable." Producer Simon Kinberg told Collider an "X-Force" movie could even be Rated R, like "Deadpool." So -- when that comes together -- fans will have to see how they balance the tones. It's not quite the same as introducing Deadpool to Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique, but we're ready for more Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman, past Deadpool's debut in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."Meanwhile, "X-Men: Apocalypse" comes out May 27, "Deadpool 2" is in the works (featuring Cable), and the first "Deadpool" comes out on DVD/Blu-ray tomorrow (May 10).

| Kit Harington: 'Most Epic' Jon Snow Episode Ahead on 'Game of Thrones' Season 6 Posted:
Obviously, many fans want him to head down to Winterfell, save Rickon Stark and Osha, and hand Ramsay Bolton a fresh can of whoopass. But we'll have to see if that happens, and if he'll run into Sansa Stark, Brienne, and Pod along the way.
Do you think "Jon's story" will include this major battle -- the biggest the show has ever staged, according to the showrunners -- and also confirmation about Jon's past? Either way, we're looking forward to this epic episode. Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| 'Game of Thrones' Recap: Snow Watch Ends, Stark Watch Begins in 'Oathbreaker' Posted:
They -- and poor sweet Shaggydog -- were victims of oathbreakers this week as well, with the Umbers selling out the youngest Stark to (of all the damn people) Ramsay Bolton. So here we go again. In a way, Jon is partly to blame, since Umber was ticked about Jon letting the wildlings go south of The Wall into Umber lands. But hey, now that Jon has time on his hands, maybe he can swing down to Winterfell, connect with his half-sister (OR IS SHE) Sansa Stark and they can save the day. #SnowBowl
Other stuff happened this week, but -- sorry -- nothing terribly important. Gilly and Sam made their first appearance, and Arya Stark is no longer blind, which is good. But that storyline is dragging so much it doesn't really feel like a win, especially when we really just want Arya to jump in on this Winterfell fight in Westeros. Tip: Your real family needs you. You are not No One. And neither is Jon "Snow"... By the way, fans shouldn't let this Azor Ahai stuff put Daenerys Targaryen in a corner. Dany is still the full-blooded Targaryen who has proven, by fire, that she is a true dragon. She also turned dragon eggs into real dragons; conquered kingdoms; stole an army; freed slaves; and did NOT get herself killed even once, despite many attempts. She should be riding Drogon, the largest dragon, across The Wall when it's time for Dany, Jon, and (Tyrion?) to fulfill the destiny of "A Song of Ice and Fire."
Read on for a recap of Episode 3: THE MAP: Why did the map show Pyke this week? There were no stories in the Iron Islands. THE WALL  Davos was the one who asked Melisandre to try and revive Jon Snow, so out of everyone he should be least shocked that it worked. Poor Shireen, though, that no one tried to revive her. Jon is naked as he awakes, which has to be slightly awkward, although if you're back from the dead you probably don't return with much insecurity. Davos asks Jon what he remembers. "They stabbed me. Olly." Put a knife in his heart. "I shouldn't be here." Melisandre wants to know where he went and what he saw after death. "Nothing. There was nothing at all." Well, that's a downer. Mel said the Lord of Light brought him back for a reason. Stannis was not the prince who was promised, but someone has to be.OK, but does it have to be Jon, does it have to be a dude at all, or could it be Daenerys Targaryen? Has Mel even heard of the dragon queen, 'cause you'd think she'd be all over those signs. Davos thinks it's completely f --king mad that Jon was dead and now he's back. But now he's here and he has to fight for as long as he can. Jon says he doesn't know how. He tried and failed. Davos: "Good. Now go fail again." But no! Don't die again, 'cause you don't want to be the new Beric Dondarrion. Jon walks through the wildlings, who apparently think Jon is some kind of god. Jesus walks. Jon says he's not a god and Tormund drops a classic line: "I know. I saw your pecker. What kind of god would have a pecker that small?" BURN. Edd hugs Jon, says his eyes are still brown, so he's still in there. He's not a White Walker or anything, so that's a start. At the end of the episode, we return to watch the hangings of the four men who killed Jon. He asks each one for final words. Alliser Thorne is still salty to "Lord Snow," but Olly says nothing. Jon wields the sword himself, to cut the rope that hangs them all at the same time. Then he takes off his cape. He gives it to Edd. "Wear it. Burn it. Whatever you want. You have Castle Black. My watch has ended." Drop that mic! He walks out.
SAM + GILLY  We finally check in on Sam and Gilly, who are sailing to Oldtown. As you might expect, Sam is not a great sailor and gets seasick in the storm. Sam upchucks, and Gilly says she's excited to see Oldtown. Sam reminds her that The Citadel doesn't allow women, or babies, and there's no one there to help bend the rules. Sam says he's going to take her to his family home in Horn Hill. So we're going to meet the Tarlys! His mom and sister are nice, which is a pretty strong hint that his father and brother are going to be pains in the butt. Gilly isn't happy about this, but oh well.BRAN'S FLASHBACK  We see a group riding to a tower. There are men in Targaryen armor. Is this Ser Arthur Dayne? Yes. The Sword of the Morning. It's the Tower of Joy flashback, with Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven watching younger Ned, and Meera's father Howland Reed. Team Robert vs. Team Rhaegar. Rhaegar is already dead at this point; the prince asked Dayne to stay there and protect Lyanna. Dayne: "And now it begins." Stark: "No, now it ends." Sadly for us, it only does just begin. We get to see the cool battle, Dayne taking on several fighters with two swords. Bran says Dayne is better than his father, but he knows his father beat him 'cause he's heard the story a thousand times. But we see that Stark was going to die when Howland Reed stabbed Dayne in the back to save Ned, then Ned chopped off Dayne's head. We hear a scream from the tower. Bran wants to follow, even though the Raven says it's time to go, for now. Bran calls "Father!" and Ned turns. He heard? What powers does Ned have, too? The Raven doesn't want Bran to spend too long in the past. "Stay too long where you don't belong and you'll never return." Have you seen the fan theory about Hodor, that he was a warg who stayed too long in a horse? It's crazy, but sounds reasonable, too. You may have seen the Meera theory, too. Was hoping for that to be settled today, but nope. Just a tease. Bran and the Raven argue. Before Bran leaves, he must learn -- everything.DANY + THE DOTHRAKI  Dany + The Dothraki sounds like a great band name. Just throwing that out there. She is taken to Vaes Dothrak and stripped. People are forever stripping poor Dany. They give her new clothes. They are unimpressed with her story, since they knew it. The lead crone of the dosh khaleen, widow of a great khal herself, tells Dany she was supposed to join them after Drogo died. Apparently Dany is going to be judged by the group to determine whether she gets to stay there. Please just move on from this quickly, it's not terribly exciting.MEEREEN  Varys fans himself at the foot of the throne, and talks to a woman he summoned. This is the woman who worked with the Sons of the Harpy to have Unsullied killed. She thinks she's there to be tortured. His job is to find the right answers, not the wrong ones, which he does by making people happy. This woman is Valla? He knows who she is and what she's done. Varys does his spider work, trying to win her over/threaten her onto his side. She has a son and he's using that against her. "Children are blameless. I have never hurt them." Hmmm. She did conspire to kill the queen's soldiers, and she knows the punishment for that crime. She says either Varys will kill her or the Sons of the Harpy will. Varys offers a third option: A ship leaving tomorrow for Pentos. She needs to decide now. A new life for her and her son, or... Well played, Varys.Separately, we see Tyrion sit with Missandei and Grey Worm, who are just passing the time while Varys does his work. Watching witty Tyrion try to have a conversation with dry Grey Worm and earnest Missandei is kind of hilarious. But so much of this episode is feeling like filler. Varys eventually returns, and learns the masters of Astapor, Yunkai, and Volantis are funding the Sons of the Harpy. Missandei says the masters speak only one language, and if they want the masters to hear them they have to speak it back to them. Tyrion wants to have a conversation, sending a message to the masters. KING'S LANDING  Qyburn is so dang creepy, it's painful to see him with children. They used to work as Varys's "little birds" and he gave them sweets. So now Qyburn is taking them on as his little birds. He wants their whispers. Ser Robert Strong, being called Ser Gregor still, comes down and scares the children. Cersei and Jaime are down there, too, and Jaime wants Qyburn to tell Ser Gregor (not Robert Strong?) to march down and face the Faith. Cersei wants little birds in Dorne, Highgarden, the North, everywhere. She wants to know where everyone who hates the Lannisters might be, and the answer is probably EVERYWHERE.Meanwhile, at the Small Council meeting, Pycelle is still going on about how much he hates Qyburn, as if he's a hero. Pycelle wants "the beast" destroyed, too, and on that note, the beast (Gregor) and his friends show up. Olenna Tyrell is back (yaasss) reminding Cersei that Margaery is the queen, not Cersei. But basically Cersei, Jaime, and the new Ser Gregor crash the meeting, which is led by Kevan Lannister, the new Hand. Oh, and here's Tommen doing something. Crown on his head, he visits the High Sparrow and asks when his mother can see her daughter's final resting place. Cersei hasn't fully atoned yet? She has to stand trial so they can learn the full extent of her sins. But Jaime gets a free pass? Pycelle? Everyone but Cersei? Tommen stands up to the High Sparrow, with his army behind him, but then he sends them away. DO something, Tommen. The High Sparrow talks about mothers, on Mother's Day, and says when Cersei speaks of Tommen her mother's love shines, and it's pure, because it doesn't come from this world. Cersei did her walk of atonement to get back to Tommen. High Sparrow claims the gods want Cersei to stand trial. Convenient. He gets Tommen to sit with him for a conversation. Tyrion would be a good match for this guy, but Tommen is not. BRAAVOS  Arya is back in the House of Black and White, still answering questions like "Who are you?" and who was she before she came here. Who was Arya Stark. She had one sister. And four brothers. Wrong answer. Three brothers. Three bros and a half bro, Jon. The waif wants to know about The Hound. "Also dead." Arya gets her butt kicked. "Arya Stark left him to die. He was on her list." But she had taken him off her list. She did and did not want him to die. "She sounds confused." "Yes, she was." Arya and the Hound were the best GoT buddies. The waif gets the full list. Cersei. Gregor Clegane. Walder Frey. ADD RAMSAY. Is Arya sure she's not forgetting someone. We see Arya start to get better at fighting, and call herself "a girl." Jaqen H'ghar says, if a girl tells him her name, she can get her eyes back. Arya says she has no name. He dips a cup into the water and gives it to Arya. If she is truly No One, she has nothing to fear. Arya gets her sight back. Maisie doesn't have to wear those contacts anymore! But she needs to be someone.WINTERFELL  The Umbers are a famously loyal house, to the Starks, Ramsay and Karstark note to the visiting Umber. This is all about sons betraying their fathers. Lord Umber said Jon Snow led an army of wildlings past the wall. They are farther north than the other families, so when the wildings cross the wall, they have to fight them first. (Kind of like Olly.) Ramsay tells the new Lord Umber that if he pledges loyalty to Ramsay he'll help them. Umber refuses to kneel and do the tradition. So how can Ramsay trust him? "I've got a gift for you." He brings out two people -- Osha and RICKON! Rickon Stark. But how could they know it's Rickon. Ramsay asks it too. NOOOOOOO. Not Shaggydog! What direwolves are even alive now? Ghost and Nymeria, and Summer. Where is Nymeria?NEXT WEEK  Episode 4, which airs May 15, is called "Book of the Stranger," and has this synopsis: "Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) strikes a deal. Jorah (Iain Glen) and Daario (Michiel Huisman) undertake a difficult task. Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei (Lena Headey) try to improve their situation." The trailer shows Sansa, Brienne, Theon, Yara, Cersei, Tyrion, Dany, and Jorah knowing where they'd have taken Dany. Don't drag this out like Qarth all over again.Want more stuff like this?
