HBO Announces A ‘Fahrenheit 451’ Adaptation With Michael Shannon And Michael B. Jordan
17 hours ago | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
In 1966, French director François Truffaut made his English-language debut with “Fahrenheit 451,” a dystopian thriller based on Ray Bradbury‘s novel about a man tasked with destroying literature. While the film was received only moderately well by audiences at the time — the New York Times referred to Truffaut’s film as both “dully fashioned and dully played” — its status has been elevated as the novel itself has entered the science-fiction canon.

It’s starting to sound a little “iffy” that stars Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had this supposed beef on the set of Fate of the Furious. Rumors had it that the two actors couldn’t even be in the same room with one another. Fast forward to today and it’s been announced that both stars have signed on to do Fast and Furious 9 and 10 installments. It was also announced earlier today that the 10th movie will be the final in the franchise. Given all this information is it possible this whole “beef” thing was just a PR

The Blacklist April Premiere Review: “Dembe” and “Requiem”
2 hours ago | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
The Blacklist is back, folks, and I can’t decide how I feel. Certain aspects of the show still feel fresh and exciting as they always have, while others feel stale, predictable and anti-climatic. However, at least for these couple of episodes, the good outweighs the bad. The return was exciting, and incorporated all of their best characters (Hooray, Dembe!) in a compelling way. As it went on, the stale pieces of the story fell off into the cracks and the compelling nature of the show took over, turning this premiere into a powerful force to drive the remainder of the season.

Rogue One proved that you didn’t need the entire Star Wars universe to make a Star Wars film successful. After it grossed over $1 billion at the box office and earned the respect of critics around the world, it’s no surprise that a Han Solo film is in development and there are talks of a solo Obi-Wan film. So what made the movie so great? When reading about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story one of my favorite quotes about the film has to do with the music. The folks at /film said it best in an article written yesterday.

Aaron Rodgers Gets Into Hilarious Twitter Beef With ‘Shooter McGavin’

Shooter McGavin is far and away one of the best sports movie villains of all-time. I think anyone who’s ever seen Happy Gilmore would 100% agree with me on this. But did you know that Shooter has his own Twitter account? It’s not actually run by actor Chris McDonald whose Twitter account has been dormant for about a year. This Shooter account has a whopping 308K followers. It’s not as much as Aaron Rodgers and his 3.11 million followers but it’s enough to get the Packers Qb’s attention. For whatever reason during a very late stretch of evening, these two

Now that seasons are winding down for the year, I’m ecstatic that Superstore has returned to complete its run for the year. I can’t decide if this show was made better by putting some distance between when Jonah started dating Glenn’s daughter, or if the impact would have been greater if the episodes had aired back to back. Either way, I’m so happy that this show is back, and excited for what is to come. This week on Superstore: Jonah is seeking Glenn’s enthusiastic blessing, as he has received with all of his previous girlfriends fathers, so he insists that they hang

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead, if you have not seen the April 20 episode of “Scandal.”
It’s time to say goodbye, Gladiators.
“Scandal” killed off one of its own tonight — a rarity for the ABC show that is not known to kill off series regulars, unlike Shondaland’s other shows, “Grey’s Anatomy” and “How To Get Away With Murder.”
Portia De Rossi’s character Elizabeth North was killed off in Thursday night’s episode. The actress made the decision to depart the show.
“I am incredibly grateful for my time here at Scandal,” said De Rossi. “I will miss playing Elizabeth North but I’ve made the decision to focus on a business opportunity.
