Some exciting new UK drama and comedy commissions are making their way to TV over the next year or so…
We know, we know. You still have two episodes of Fargo season two before you can think about starting season three. You’ve already fallen behind on American Gods. Your planner memory is chock-a-block with Big Little Lies and that Oj Simpson thing and some Spanish prison series your workmate bullied you into recording. You’re struggling to make time for Twin Peaks. New Game Of Thrones is just around the corner. And guess what, Netflix UK have just added a whole new season of It’s Always Sunny, those sods. You need a list of new TV show recommendations like you need a hole in the head.

And yet, as long as they keep making them, we’ll keep recommending them.

The spotlight shines on far more than the core trio of iconic stars of Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders. With the likes of primetime television veterans Steven Weber and Thomas Lennon leading the way, the full-length animated feature film boasts a supporting cast of notable voices from across all entertainment mediums and some of the best-loved animated properties.
Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman) own top billing, but Weber (Wings, iZombie, NCIS: New Orleans) and Lennon (The Odd Couple, Reno 911!) – as trustworthy butler Alfred Pennyworth and Chief O’Hara, respectively – headline an impressive array of actors who were excited to give voice to a role in a Batman film.
In addition to Weber and Lennon, the cast includes:
Jeff Bergman as the Joker and the revered Announcer. Bergman is well known as a voice of Bugs Bunny for more than a quarter of a century...

Harvey Weinstein, Iain Canning and Garth Davis discuss Toronto hit which had its European premiere in Zurich on Thursday night [Sept 23].
Following Lion’s well-received Toronto world premiere, executive producer and Us distributor Harvey Weinstein, producer Iain Canning and director Garth Davis discussed the film’s journey ahead of the film’s European premiere at the Zurich Film Festival.
Weinstein told a press conference that he felt a personal connection to the material when he first read the script:
“I was moved by the piece. Twelve years ago I started seeing Georgina [Chapman, now his wife]. She’s involved in fashion, and her inspiration has always been India. Her family had lived there and we named our now 6-year-old daughter India, and Georgina started a school in Delhi to take kids off the street, the Rose Home Shelter. This story was very appealing because of these kids and what happens to them, for me on a personal note,” the executive...

Major South Korean investor/distributor Next Entertainment World (New) has launched its own international sales division through subsidiary Contents Panda.
Originally established in 2013 as New’s international business and ancillary rights division, Contents Panda will debut its sales arm at next month’s European Film Market (Efm).
Woody Kim, CEO of New, told ScreenDaily: “We started Contents Panda because we felt a need to prepare for future market potential in distribution. The company started in Iptv and VOD and is now launching into international sales.
“It will start by handling New contents, but we plan to expand to take on diverse films from other companies as well using our sales network and know-how.”

Home Box Office has dodged more bullets than Wyatt Earp at the Ok Corral. Going on the satellite in 1975 turned the company from a regional possibility into a national success; then came “hitting the wall” and the challenge of VCRs in the 1980s; and then there was the late 1990s course correction which turned the service into an original series king; and then there was the struggle of the Chris Albrecht years and the WGA strike.
Today, HBO has its big hits – Game of Thrones and True Blood, and its second tier, buzz-making winners like Girls, The Newsroom, Veep and Treme. Medical dramedy Getting On, and Looking – often described as a gay Sex and the City – show the service hasn’t gotten any shyer about trying to tackle provocative subject matter in risky ways.

Dubbed the Where We Are tour, the trek will find One Dimension promoting their brand new No. 1 album "Midnight Memories." While 1D is playing most major markets in the U.S. and Canada, dates in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California are curiously missing, the band promises that more dates will be added.

Mad Men has never been about happy endings. Or even happy lives. Things are shit all around. Either you have to deal with it or pretend that everything is rosy. A lot of people prefer the latter, which is pretty much leads us to Don Draper (Jon Hamm), The King of Illusions. In “Mystery Date”, his illusions crash into his reality and things think a dark, nasty turn. And though it may have been (Spoiler Alert!) completely fake, we finally get to see his inner monologue, courtesy of a Sopranos-like fever dream.
One of the biggest illusions during the Mad Men-set era — and in every era — is the illusion that violence solves everything. Particularly violence committed by men. It’s a means to an end that never gets the full results one is looking for. Does it actually do away with a perceived threat? Does it make a man more of a man?...

Acclaimed “The King and the Clown” director Lee Joon Ik returns with “Battlefield Heroes”, the follow up to his hit 2003 debut “Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield”. The film serves up more of the same, continuing the 7th century historical saga which basically plays out like “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” in Korean as an ensemble cast struggle against each other for the right to rule the peninsula. Most of the original stars return, including Jung Jin Young (who also worked with the director on “Sunny” and “The King and the Clown”), Lee Moon Shik (“A Bloody Aria”) and Hwang Jung Min (“The Unjust”) with Ryu Seung Ryong (“Blades of Blood”), Yoon Je Moon (“Mother”), Sun Woo Sun (“Woochi”), and Running Man’s Lee Kwang Soo also appearing. The film takes place eight years after the events of the original, with the kingdom of Shilla continuing the alliance with...

David Fincher's "The Social Network"is emerging as the consensus choice as best film of 2010. Most of the critics' groups have sanctified it, and after its initial impact it has only grown it stature. I think it is an early observer of a trend in our society, where we have learned new ways of thinking of ourselves: As members of a demographic group, as part of a database, as figures in...a social network.
My best films list also appears on my main site, but I am posting it here on the blog so that you can comment on it. In response to the reader protests of recent years, I've returned to the time-honored tradition of ten films arranged in order from one to ten. After that, it's all alphabetical. The notion of objectively ordering works of art seems bizarre to me.

Jesse James has been granted permission to move to Texas with his daughter. The motorcycle entrepreneur has been handed official custody of six-year-old Sunny and is now planning to move closer to ex-wife Sandra Bullock and her seven-month-old son Louis Bardo, much to the unhappiness of ex-wife Janine Lindemulder, who had gone to court to block his plans.
Upon hearing the decision of the Orange County Court in California, Janine, who is still officially sharing custody of the youngster, broke down shouting, "I'll move! I'll move!" Family Court Commissioner Thomas Schulte accepted both parents loved Sunny, but was concerned about the poor decisions Janine had made in the recent past, including a jail term and subsequent four-month stint in an Oregon halfway house and a battle with prescription drugs.
Janine has been told she can have physical custody of Sunny until she starts school in Texas in September. The former...

Not a whole lot of kind words were said today. Jesse James and second ex-wife Janine Lindemulder spent Monday trading barbs in an Orange County courtroom as the fight over custody of their 6-year-old daughter Sunny continued. While Lindemulder maintains that it's James—and, at times, Sandra Bullock—who has kept her from speaking regularly with her child on the phone, the now thrice-divorced West Coast Choppers owner continues to argue that his porn-actress ex is just plain unstable. Though James didn't go into it on the witness stand, his attorney told Family Court Commissioner Thomas Schulte during today's hearing that Lindemulder once threatened to kill his client. James...

Continuing to fight for his kids, Jesse James took to the Orange County courthouse on Monday (July 12) to battle his ex, Janine Lindemulder, over daughter Sunny James.
Getting the desired outcome, it was decided that the West Coast Choppers CEO should continue to be the legal guardian of young Sunny at the current time.
Talking to Commissioner Thomas Schulte, court-appointed attorney Loni Klein said, “Jesse James is doing a good job being a father to Sunny. Although both parents love Sunny, they do not trust one another. Janine has faced a tough road and has been getting therapy recently but still requires more treatment.”

Synopsis
Sunny (Aaron Kwok) is a clown in a circus act but he aspires to be a top performer just like his dad, The King of Flying Knife. While in Malaysia, Sunny and a few of his circus performer friends go for a treasure hunt, stumbling upon barrels of bio-chemicals left from the war. Upon returning, some of the members are mutating due to inhaling the bio-chemicals but Sunny seems fine from the exposure. They gain extraordinary superhuman powers. The leader of the entertainment outfit Chang Tai Chu (Colin Chou) decides to use this newfound strength to do evil. As there is an increase of crime in the city, the media and the police get involved. Kungfu master Suan Hou (Wu Jing) and policewoman Xin Hua (Zhang Jin Chu) enter the fray, while Angel (Shu Qi), a reporter who is recently demoted, also pursues the case in hopes of rescuing her flagging career.

Public Enemies (Universal) Johnny Depp portrays legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger in co- writer/director Michael Mann’s take on America’s first “Public Enemy Number One.” Like many big studio releases today, Public Enemies has it all: A-list talent before and behind the camera, but lacks a heart or soul that allows its audience to connect with it. Film plays out like a “true crime” TV show with re-enactments of famous events cast with top actors and shot by the best technicians in the business, with little, if any, character or story development to hold it together in between. A real disappointment from one of our finest filmmakers and finest actors. The lone standout: the great character actor Stephen Lang as a hard-eyed lawman who’s seen a lot, but manages to retain a tiny piece of his heart. For a better take on the same subject,...
