Comic-Con International has released the schedule for Sunday July 27th. This is the last day of Comic-Con, and they will be closing it out with some big TV panels like Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy and The Strain. There's also a panel for the Batkid documentary that was made. I rarely stay for the whole convention on Sunday, but I think I actually might try to stick around this year and enjoy myself. You can go through the full schedule here, but you'll find some of the highlights listed below.
Supernatural Special Video Presentation and Q&A - Series stars Jared Padalecki (Friday the 13th [2009]), Jensen Ackles (My Bloody Valentine 3D), Misha Collins (Ringer), and Mark A. Sheppard (Battlestar Galactica), along with executive producer Jeremy Carver (U.S. version of Being Human), return to Hall H to answer questions from the audience about what's in store...

The Producers Guild of America handed out its Digital Visionaries awards Friday night, recognizing nine notable organizations and the people behind them for using technology to advance the ways stories are told. “These are the top Hollywood people who are ultra-forward thinking in their vision of telling stories,” said Marc Scarpa, co-chair with Shawn Gold of the committee selecting the award winners. “We’re about pushing the medium forward.” Producer/Writer/Director Marshall Herskovitz (ThirtySomething, The Last Samurai and a prominent PGA member) handed out the night’s awards with short comments about each: The people behind the elaborate, and endlessly charming, confabulation that turned the city of San Francisco into a giant superhero playground for one ailing child dressed as “BatKid.” This award went to Patricia Wilson, Executive Director of Make-a-Wish Foundation, San Francisco Mayor Edwin Lee and the city’s residents. Netflix, for its swath of original programming.

Gotham City may have a troubled relationship with Batman, but one city has come out strongly in favor of a Dark Knight today, when San Francisco came to a halt in support of "Batkid," a 5-year-old who got to become a superhero for a day thanks to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Batkid -- whose secret identity is Miles, a young boy whose cancer is in remission after a treatment of chemotherapy that ended this summer -- told the foundation that his greatest wish was to be DC Entertainment's Caped Crusader. Patricia Wilson, the executive director of the Bay

On Friday, November 15, San Francisco became Gotham. The city did not do this for Comic-Con, nor to film a new movie. The city did this to fulfill the dreams of a five-year-old boy named Miles with leukemia. Miles hails from Tulelake, in Northern California. He was diagnosed with leukemia at just 18 months old, but ended treatments in June. Fortunately, he is now in remission, and ready to take on his next big, brave mission: becoming Batkid. "I've been planning the wish and working with the family since March," said Patricia Wilson, executive director of the Make-a-Wish Greater Bay Area chapter.

Night Catches Us
Directed by Tanya Hamilton
Screenplay by Tanya Hamilton
2010, USA
Night Catches Us provides an ironically timeless theme: giving governing of a country (in this case The United States) back to the people of the country. America was created by secessionists and rebels and yet in this film they recall how they are thwarted at every turn.
Writer/director Tanya Hamilton takes us back to 1970’s Philadelphia, as ex-Black Panther Marcus Washington (played by Anthony Mackie) returns home on the day of his father’s funeral. Patricia Wilson (played by Kerry Washington) shows us that even when we have moved on from a relationship, the unresolved emotions and true love realties tug at our hearts for answers, peace and resolution. Her precociously pithy daughter, Iris (played by Jamara Griffen), gives a refreshing performance reminding us how kids are giant sponges that suck up all the knowledge of internal personal relationships.

Rating (out of 5): ****
Tanya Hamilton makes her feature writing and directing debut with the exceptional character study Night Catches Us; it veers perilously close to message mongering and smugness, but mostly does well to focus on some surprising character traits and fine period detail.
Anthony Mackie plays Marcus Washington, who suddenly returns home to 1976 Philadelphia after some mysterious time away, for his father's funeral. It's a rough-and-tumble time, with the remains of the Black Panther movement still evident in the streets. Marcus tries to fix up the family home in exchange for a place to sleep, but his brother wants nothing to do with him. Instead he ends up staying with an old flame, Patricia Wilson (Kerry Washington), a do-gooder with the habit of taking in stray souls.

In 1976, after years of mysterious absence, Marcus (Anthony Mackie, “The Hurt Locker”) returns to the Philadelphia neighborhood where he came of age in the midst of the Black Power movement. While his arrival raises suspicion among his family and former neighbors, he finds acceptance from his old friend Patricia (Kerry Washington, “Ray,” “Lift”) and her daughter. However, Marcus quickly finds himself at odds with the organization...
