Collider

Stephanie Leonidas Talks DEFIANCE, What Drew Her to the Character, Her Knife Training, The Make-Up Process, and More Apr 20th 2013, 16:00 The Syfy drama series Defiance, which is also a multi-platform video game, is the first-ever convergence of television and online gaming, featuring an interconnected world between the two mediums as they evolve together into one overall story.  Set in the near future, the show is a story about survival under extreme circumstances, with humans and aliens trying to co-exist peacefully in this new civilization.  From executive producer Kevin Murphy, the show stars Grant Bowler, Julie Benz, Stephanie Leonidas, Tony Curran, Jaime Murray, Graham Greene and Mia Kirshner. During this recent exclusive phone interview with Collider, actress Stephanie Leonidas – who plays Irisa, an Irathient warrior who is also the adopted daughter of Nolan – talked about the appeal of this project, what drew her to this character, why it's important to her that Irisa keep her edge, the relationship between Nolan and Irisa, what Irisa's journey is like this season, the knife training she did, the make-up process she goes through, what these elaborate sets are like to work on, and how excited she is to continue to explore who Irisa is.  Check out what she had to say after the jump. Having been a few years in the making now, at what point did you get involved with Defiance? STEPHANIE LEONIDAS:  I didn't really become a part of it all until much later on, a few months before we started shooting.  For me, it was all a very quick process, really.  I think Grant [Bowler] was on it much longer, and Julie ...

Collider

New Images from Paul Feig's THE HEAT and Shawn Levy's THE INTERNSHIP Apr 20th 2013, 16:05 We've got some new images to share with you from the following films: The Heat - Starring Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) and Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side) in a dysfunctional buddy cop comedy, Paul Feig's The Heat opens June 28th. The Internship - Starring the Wedding Crashers comedians Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, Shawn Levy's The Internship opens June 7th. Hit the jump to check out the new images.  Here are some new looks at McCarthy and Bullock in The Heat: Here's the official synopsis for The Heat: Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence–and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), one of Boston P.D.'s "finest," is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals. Neither has ever had a partner, or a friend for that matter. When these two wildly incompatible law officers join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies. From Paul Feig, the director of "Bridesmaids." And here are some new images from The Internship, starring Wilson and Vaughn: Here's the official synopsis for The Internship: Billy (Vince Vaughn) and Nick (Owen Wilson) are salesmen whose careers have been torpedoed by the digital world. Trying to prove they are not obsolete, thet defy the odds by talking their way into a coveted internship at Google, along with a battalion of brilliant college students. But, gaining entrance to this utopia is only half the battle. Now they must compete ...

Twitch: Cannes Selected BORGMAN Delivers A Dark And Twisted Teaser

Twitch

Cannes Selected BORGMAN Delivers A Dark And Twisted Teaser Apr 20th 2013, 17:15 The selection of Alex Van Warmerdam's Borgman as part of the competition program in Cannes marks the first time a Dutch film has vied for the top prizes on the Croisette in thirty eight years. And long time fans of the dark humor of Van Warmerdam's previous work will be glad to know he hasn't changed a thing in his approach to break that streak.BORGMAN is the central character in Alex van Warmerdam's dark, malevolent fable. Is he a dream or a demon, a twisted allegory or an all-too-real embodiment of our fears?  BORGMAN is a sinister arrival in the sealed-off streets of modern suburbia. His presence unleashes a crowing gallery of distortion around the careful façade constructed by an arrogant, comfortable couple, their three... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...]

The Playlist: Review: 'Mary And Martha' Starring Hilary Swank Plays Like A Dramatized Charity Infomercial

The Playlist The Playlist from IndieWire

Review: 'Mary And Martha' Starring Hilary Swank Plays Like A Dramatized Charity Infomercial Apr 20th 2013, 15:56 "Did you know, that if you take every single person killed in a terrorist act around the world in the last twenty years, and you add to that all the lives lost in the Middle East since 1967 -- the 6 Day War -- and you add to that every single American life lost in Vietnam, in Korea, and in every single American engagement since then -- Iraq, Afghanistan... If you take all those lives and you multiply by two, that's the number of children that die of malaria every single year," James Woods gravely intones in "Mary And Martha." That this audience educating factoid comes during one of the climatic moments of the movie, should tell you everything you need to know about the intentions and storytelling choices in this sentimental, misjudged one-note clunker, that's yet another wide misstep by two time Oscar winner Hilary Swank. In the film, she plays the Mary of the title, an almost obnoxiously wealthy woman living in East Virginia, married to Bruce Wayne Frank Grillo, an entrepreneur with...

Why Should I Care That No One's Reading Dzhokhar Tsarnaev His Miranda Rights? Apr 20th 2013, 13:28 Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will not hear his Miranda rights before the FBI questions him Friday night. He will have to remember on his own that he has a right to a lawyer, and that anything he says can be used against him in court, because the government won't tell him. This is an extension of a rule the Justice Department wrote for the FBI—without the oversight of any court—called the "public safety exception."

Bloody Disgusting: [Boredom Bytes] Learn All About Your Favorite Horror Games In A Minute

Bloody Disgusting Your #1 Source For All Things Horror

[Boredom Bytes] Learn All About Your Favorite Horror Games In A Minute Apr 20th 2013, 15:00 Welcome to a very educational edition of Boredom Bytes! Today we’re going to learn about some of our favorite horror games — including Dead Space, Silent Hill, Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil — in under a minute, courtesy of the well-informed lads at Lore In A Minute. If you’ve ever tried untangling the bizarre web of plots, characters and sub-plots that makes up the Silent Hill series, or found yourself wondering what the USG Ishimura is, these videos will get you nice and caught up! First up, Dead Space. I’m surprised they were able to wrap up Silent Hill in a minute, so kudos for that. Personally, I could describe the plot of Left 4 Dead in about five seconds: lots of zombies, kill, kill, kill. Yeah, that just about covers it. I really enjoy the plots of the earlier Resident Evils. They were simple. Wesker and the Umbrella Corporation were the easily identifiable bad guys, and your goal was to survive the ugly things they throw at you. Now, we have games like Resident Evil 6 that tries to weave four unbelievable story-lines from multiple characters and perspectives that basically spans the entire globe. Ada just happened to be standing on a train as Leon crashed a 747 into China? Even my eight year-old cousin called that one out. For more video game lore, check out their Youtube channel. Have a question? Feel free to ever-so-gently toss Adam an email, or follow him on Twitter and Bloody Disgusting. Media files: BB_HorrorLore.jpg

Review: 'All the President's Men Revisited' looks back in wonder Apr 20th 2013, 14:30 Discovery Channel's documentary effectively takes us back to a particularly distinct pre-Internet moment of political scandal. "All the President's Men Revisited," which premieres Sunday on Discovery Channel, returns us to those thrilling days of yesteryear when everyone read newspapers and the legislative and judicial branches of the U.S. government were capable of acting out of something other than political self-interest and scorched-earth partisan intransigence. No, young people, I am not making that up. Media files: 16x9

Entertainment news - latimes.com Headlines from latimes.com

Tom Jones shakes his soul with fresh 'Spirit' Apr 20th 2013, 15:00 The new album 'Spirit in the Room' finds pop music's quintessential sex symbol giving his powerful voice over to the tender side. Tom Jones sits in a cozy booth along one wall of a favorite Beverly Hills restaurant. At 72, his curly hair and neatly manicured mustache and goatee are more salt than pepper after his decision to give up black hair dye a few years ago. But Jones appears dapper as usual, ultra-tan and fit in his smart black suit and dark, ribbed crew-neck shirt. Media files: 16x9
