Doctor Who, Series 7, Episode 13: “Nightmare in Silver”
Written by Neil Gaiman
Directed by Stephen Woolfenden
Airs Saturdays at 9pm (Et) on BBC America
This week, on Doctor Who: We meet Locutus of Doctor, Porridge has good taste in Queens, and the Cyberiad is back en masse
Life-long Whovian Neil Gaiman made a big splash with his first contribution to Doctor Who, series six’s fantastic “The Doctor’s Wife”. When word came out that he was returning in series seven to pen the return of the Cybermen, fans were understandably excited. Unfortunately, “Nightmare in Silver”, while it has its charms, is massively uneven and nowhere near as satisfying as the emotional and eminently rewatchable “The Doctor’s Wife”. This is one of the most qualitatively schizophrenic episodes in quite a while, so to best approach it, I’m ditching my usual format and going for bullet points.

Over the years we've featured some great sets of custom Star Wars-inspired redesign figures from artist Sillof. His collections always have some great themes and his designs are well done and very imaginative. He's brought us Samurai Wars, Medieval Wars, Retro Style 1940's figures, as well as other steampunk and poster designs.
This time he tackles 90's era hacker movies and anime including The Matrix, Akira, Ghost in the Shell and others in a series he calls Cyber Wars. Be sure to head over to Sillof's webpage to view more individual figure pics and character explanations, as well as other custom made sets.

Tomori Films have just served up the full works for their forthcoming film A Thousand Kisses Deep, namely a first look poster and trailer for the film as well as a smattering of images to tease and intrigue in equal measure.
The trailer below does hint at the larger story in play here, and the synopsis seemingly gives everything away so be wary of this when you cast your eyes down. The reason I’ll see it? Jodie Whittaker.
Attack the Block was a nice stepping stone to the side after her role in Venus, but it’s the lesser seen work that’s impressed. The recent short film Smoke and her Black Mirror appearance showed signs of greatness and I’m very hopeful she’ll seek out these challenging roles in the future. Here’s hoping A Thousand Kisses Deep gives her that opportunity.

The San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, opening today and running through March 18, turns 30 this year. "Highlights of 2012's anniversary line-up include an in-person tribute to Joan Chen, a pair of world premieres from the talents behind Colma: The Musical, and Patrick Wang's In the Family, one of the most acclaimed American indies from last year," writes Michael Hawley in an extensive overview. And Michael Guillén interviews Wang at the Evening Class.

You can imagine my consternation as Puss in Boots fell a miniscule three percent to take the weekend. Once again, the family dollar is the only thing you can count on in this economy. This weekend? It's gonna be close, people. Extremely close. Laremy predicted the #1 movie correctly 0 Weeks In A Row Puss in Boots A 30 percent drop is the prediction, hard to go more than that given last weekend's Avatar-like holdover number. I do worry about spending $130m here, feels $30m high, but they are going to make it all back and then some when you factor in the residuals. If you're looking for random trivia for tonight's cocktail party you should know that Puss in Boots needs another $80m to crack the Dreamworks Animation top ten. I'll take the under.

"Don't laugh if I predict A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas turns out to be both one of the most earnest and subversive studio releases of the season," writes Bilge Ebiri at Vulture. "The two concepts are not unrelated. This franchise has always had a dissident streak: The first film was mostly predicated on the novelty of an Indian and a Korean being stoner buddies, and the second attempted — and failed, but in a good-hearted, not-very-ambitious way — political digs at the War on Terror and George W Bush. This one starts with Harold (John Cho), now gone fully corporate, watching a gaggle of protesters outside his Wall Street office. Though this lucky bit of Ows topicality goes nowhere, the movie quickly turns its attention to Christmas, which as the conspiratorial War on Christmas has made clear, can be turned to political ends if need be."

The great news about A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas is that it features some of the most original 3-D effects this side of Avatar: Raw-egg splatter comin' right at ya, shockeroo Claymation penises that'll rock your world, nativity Jesuses blasting into the sky and lots of mystical-looking marijuana smoke wafting straight off the screen and into your very own lungs, visually speaking at least.

Tintin and Snowy may not arrive Stateside until Dec. 21, but the sleuthing duo has also made quite an entrance in three European countries.
Steven Spielberg’s The Adventures of Tintin debuted in first place in France, the United Kingdom, and Belgium on Wednesday, grossing $4.7 million, $3.5 million, and $240,000, respectively, according to Sony Pictures. The film’s first day in France puts it on track for the biggest opening in that country besides Avatar.
The 3-D performance-capture movie is expected to perform much better overseas than in the United States, where Hergé’s comic strips aren’t nearly as well known. As a result,...

Robotropolis
Stars: Zoe Naylor, Graham Sibley, Edward Foy, Lani John Tupu, Jourdan Lee | Written and Directed by Christopher Hatton
Aussie actress Zoe Naylor, whom we last saw in creature-feature The Reef, takes the lead in the second full length feature from writer-turned-director Christopher Hatton, and like his previously film Avatar (no, not That one) the film is yet another future tale, this time based on the age old sci-fi cliche of robots – built for servitude – rising up and attacking their human masters.
Robotropolis takes place in a South East Asian community called New Town, a futuristic utopia built buy a global oil conglomerate to home the workers at a large petrochemical platform, where robots carry out the many mudane and often day-to-day tasks, including help run the oil platform, in a complete integration of man and machine.

"It makes 'Avatar' look 'Avatarded.'"
That's a pretty bold statement, but the "Harold & Kumar" movies have never been afraid to stir up a little controversy (and break a few cinematic taboos).
The trailer for the stoner duo's latest adventure, "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas," wastes no time in getting down to the raunchy shenanigans, opening with Harold shooting Santa Claus in the face and just getting more... well, R-rated from there.
"Christmas" apparently has something to do with Harold and Kumar on the loose in New York City looking for the perfect Christmas tree, but there's no trace of a "plot" in sight in the trailer... which is, of course, just fine.
And yeah, it looks like Neil Patrick Harris is going to steal the show once again with another seemingly effortless meta-performance as his sort-of self.

While it's not beginning to look a lot like Christmas just yet, the trailer for A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas is a great start. The film hits theaters November 4 and once again stars John Cho and Kal Penn as everyone's favorite hamburger munching potheads. This time around, they'll get into it with Santa Claus, Jesus and - of course - Neil Patrick Harris, all in 3D. Check out the trailer after the break. Thanks to Yahoo Movies for the trailer. I'm a huge fan of the first Harold and Kumar and while I remember liking the second one, I remember very little about it. That said, when this trailer started, with the whole swerve of it being a family Christmas movie followed by the oddness of shooting Santa Claus and seeing Neil Patrick Harris talking to Jesus, I was very skeptical. But as the trailer moves along, it gets stronger and stronger.

These days, Jonathan Frakes is a captain in his own right.
The former Star Trek: The Next Generation actor and director makes his living mostly behind the scenes with a plethora of directing gigs, notably on The Glades, Leverage, Burn Notice and even V, to keep on fresh sci-fi.
Jonathan's latest gig is to direct tomorrow night's episode of the Community TV series Bar Karma, an interactive experience engineered by The Sims creator Will Wright and Spike TV founder Albie Hecht, where the internet community literally creates the story for each individual episode.
For those unfamiliar with the show, the official description reads:
“Set at a mystical watering hole at the edge of the universe, Bar Karma stars William Sanderson (True Blood, Lost, Deadwood) as James, the 20,000 year-old bartender, Matthew Humphreys (Obsessed, Big Love, The Forgotten) as bar owner Doug Jones, and Cassie Howarth (Deranged High, Deathclock) as the lone waitress,...

It looks like the dragon Smaug has struck early. A studio for The Hobbit has been gutted by fire, just as production on the two-part film adaptation is expected to get the green light.
Firefighters spent three hours putting out the blaze at a warehouse in Wellington, New Zealand, which housed Jackson's Portsmouth Miniatures Studio.
The $3.2million studio would have been used for shooting special effects sequences on The Hobbit, it's been confirmed. At this stage, it's not clear what impact - if any - the fire will have on production.
The scene is now being inspected by fire experts and insurers to assess the extent of the damage. There was a man in the building at the time but he escaped unharmed, reports Tvnz.
Meanwhile, the much-troubled project is close to being greenlit by Warner Bros and MGM, who are sharing the costs. The Los Angeles Times reports that...

I wonder what future generations with think of films like The Matrix and Avatar. The stories, for the most part, are sublimely ridiculous -- the worst kind of faux high-concept philosophy masking-taped to dazzling action sequences that exist solely to show off fancy technological advancements in special effects. But goddamn, those fucking special effects are something else. Almost thirty years ago, a first time director named Steven Lisberger went to the Mouse House and begged them to fund his crazy hybrid of computer animation and live-action. The result was Tron, a stylistically visual ac tion piece about a hacker who gets sucked into his own video games and is forced to play for his life. The religious allegory is like getting smacked in the face with an incense censor, and the dialogue makes you flinch like you were actually playing the video game. It's no wonder the movie wasn't nearly...

Someone has turned the clocks back to the ’80s. Sequels, 3D, and Cheech and Chong-style stoner movies are running rampant in Hollywood again. Sometimes they make sense and money at the box office, but I can’t wrap my head around A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, a 3D stoner sequel.
This installment starts with Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) on the outs, which stems from Harold’s plans to grow up and Kumar’s desire to stay the latent-adolescent whose life revolves primarily around getting high. The two are reunited in their quest to find the perfect Christmas tree after the one Harold’s father-in-law brought to town is destroyed in a pot-related fire. It’s at the start of this journey that we meet Todd (to be played by Thomas Lennon of “Viva Variety,” “Reno 911″ and “The State”) and Adrian (presumably Patton Oswalt) — replacement friends for Harold...

How to Train Your Dragon soared to the top of the weekend box office with an estimated $43.3 million on approximately 7,000 screens at 4,055 theaters, but it fell far short of the last DreamWorks Animation 3D feature, Monsters Vs. Aliens, which opened to $59.3 million on the same weekend last year. That along with a somewhat tepid start for Hot Tub Time Machine led to a 14 percent drop in overall business from the same timeframe in 2009.
While How to Train Your Dragon's opening may seem a little toothless compared to Monsters Vs. Aliens, it was bigger than many other recent 3D cartoons, including A Christmas Carol, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Bolt and Meet the Robinsons, and it delivered the highest-grossing dragon movie debut ever, topping Eragon's $23.2 million. Dragon-centric movies as well as ones about Vikings like Dragon generally aren't big box office draws, and Dragon had the additional disadvantage of being an action-oriented animation,...

On Friday, How to Train Your Dragon landed on top with an estimated $12.2 million on approximately 7,000 screens at 4,055 theaters, which was the highest-grossing opening day ever for a dragon-centric movie (surpassing Eragon).
The heavily-promoted 3D computer-animated spectacle also had a bigger first day gross than Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Bolt and Meet the Robinsons among other 3D cartoons but fell short of Monsters Vs. Aliens. The latter debuted to $16.8 million on the comparable Friday last year, leading to a $59.3 million weekend. Should Dragon follow a similar pattern, its weekend would wind up at around $43 million.
How to Train Your Dragon had 2,178 sites presenting the picture in 3D, which carried a hefty price hike in many markets starting Friday. 3D accounted for 68 percent of the Friday gross. By comparison, Monsters Vs. Aliens had 1,550 of its 4,104 venues in 3D and they made up 55 percent of its opening.

Sure, The Hurt Locker wasn't a box-office hit and Precious positioned itself as outside white-bread commercialism, but all the big Oscar winners were irredeemably Hollywood
The Academy may still be congratulating themselves on picking for their best picture award arguably the least commercially successful winner of all time (over the most successful). But if we step back a bit, we can see that this year was one of the safest ever. All the top awards went to American films, even if, as far as Precious was concerned, they tried to position themselves outside white-bread mainstream. But The Hurt Locker, Avatar, The Blind Side, Precious, Crazy Heart, Up and Inglourious Basterds represent traditional, conventional American cinema in all its various guises. Outsiders often get a look-in in the acting categories– not always Brits; sometimes there's someone from France or Spain too – but there was no Kate Winslet or Tilda Swinton, let alone a Marion Cotillard.

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards was kicked off on Sunday night, March 7 with an elaborate musical number headlined by Neil Patrick Harris, and a footage of his performance has come out online. Donning a sequined tuxedo, the 36-year-old actor opened with a question to the attending crowd, "Why am I here?"
The "How I Met Your Mother" star didn't waste much time in answering his question. Performing the musical number which featured references to such movies from "Gone With the Wind" to "Harold & Kumar" to "Twilight", he continued to introduce hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, whom he described as "the biggest pair since Dolly Parton", with "No One Wants to Do It Alone" song.
Taking over from Harris, both Baldwin and Martin made jokes at each other's expense. Baldwin introduced his co-host stating his many talents, but Martin in return simply said, "And this is Alec Baldwin." They then...

Winter is upon us in full swing and though I personally can not wait until the warmer seasons the Winter of late 2010 can not get here fast enough. Why you ask? Well come the end of this year, Disney releases Tron Legacy, the long awaited sequel to their 1982 cult hit Tron. There's little buzz amongst the general movie public about this film, but just like the recent smash success Avatar, I'm sure Disney's marketing strategy involves revealing more about the sequel bit by bit. I'm pretty sure that by this summer's end, it will be a greatly anticipated movie event among audiences. For die-hards like me, there is a wealth of information and even back-story to be found about the film's plot. (See for yourself and visit Flynn Lives.com.)
