When Kip Moore released his debut album, Up All Night, in 2012, it was a success almost out of the gate. With hits like “Something ‘Bout a Truck,’ which Moore’s sexy, raspy delivery managed to elevate out of country’s truck rut, “Hey Pretty Girl” and “Beer Money,” the album put the Tifton, Georgia, native in the spotlight. But despite critical kudos, his sonically ambitious second album Wild Ones underperformed, and suddenly the town that hailed him as a new original voice got busy writing his swan song. It was, Moore tells People, “a kick in the teeth.”

Frieda Pinto has written an exclusive column about India’s Daughter, her take on the ban along with the need for uplifting and empowering women in today’s day and age. Check it out!
I recently visited my dear friend Zoë’s beautiful six-month-old-baby girl, Orla. When I looked into her big bright eyes, I saw a raw spark of pure light – alive, dancing to its own tune, full of potential, oblivious to skin color, status or gender.
But in more places around the world than we imagine, a newborn girlchild has has been damned, undervalued, called a burden, or even been killed before she was born. Because to be a female in today’s world is at best an exercise in subtle injustice or at worst a living hell.
In the film India’s Daughter you heard an educated lawyer claim that “in our culture there is no place for a woman.

In the second season premiere of Showtime’s heartbreakingly brilliant Masters of Sex, Virginia marvels at how the reaction to Bill’s calamitous presentation of their study has been “like nuclear rain falling on us all.” Not only has Bill been canned, but horndog doctors have begun propositioning Virginia left and right (and even following her into the ladies’ room, for Pete’s sake!). But, by the end of “Parallax,” the stage is set for things to get much better for the illicit lovers… and much, much worse. Read on, and I’ll tell you all about it!

Next in line to inherit the throne of Royal films is Diana. The film takes audiences into the private realm of one of the world’s most iconic and inescapably public women – the Princess of Wales, Diana (two-time Oscar nominee Naomi Watts) — in the last two years of her meteoric life.
On the occasion of the 16th anniversary of her sudden death, acclaimed director Oliver Hirschbiegel (the Oscar-nominated Downfall) explores Diana’s final rite of passage: a secret love affair with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews, “Lost,” The English Patient), the human complications of which reveal the Princess’s climactic days in a compelling new light. Diana is in select theaters now.
As long as filmmakers have been bringing the lives of England’s Kings and Queens to the silver screen have moviegoers been going to the cinemas to be schooled in British Monarchy.

Arrow Season 1, Episode 23 ‘Sacrifice’
Directed by David Barrett
Written by: Greg Berlanti (story), Marc Guggenheim & Andrew Kreisberg (teleplay)
returns to The CW for season 2 in September
With a title like ‘Sacrifice’, there was no denying that someone was going to die in tonight’s episode. And although ‘Sacrifice’ tries to get clever with a few expected misleads (one that lands really well), Arrow decides to eliminate the easiest option – but one I wished they hadn’t, for reasons I’ll explain later. But with the wonky character development pushed to the side, ‘Sacrifice’ sets its sights on one event, and executes it with confidence, keeping things moving even when some of the emotions fall flat.
Unfortunately (a phrase I feel I use often on this show), the island material for the season culminates a single explosion, a fitting end for what was largely an empty parallel to Oliver’s adventures in Starling City.

Warning: The following contains spoilers from the Season 1 finale of The CW’s Arrow.
“Sacrifice” was the title and theme of Arrow‘s Season 1 finale, and at the end of an hour that was basically Twitter-proof — any number of tweets of despair, anxiety and the always trusty “Oh nooooo!” could have applied to multiple characters thrust into danger in the final moments — one key player was not able to walk away.

It seems like an increasing trend for a musician to either score or form the soundtrack for a film. We’ve had Karen O and Where the Wild Things Are, Eddie Vedder and Into the Wild, Jonny Greenwood and There Will Be Blood, Trent Reznor and The Social Network and the upcoming The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Chemical Brothers and Hanna; the list goes on and on. The latest to add to the category is Jonathan Segal‘s Norman.
It is easily the lowest profile of the bunch, but he was able to get Andrew Bird to come on board for a full original soundtrack in this teen drama that stars Dan Byrd (Cougar Town, Easy A), Emily VanCamp (Revenge, Everwood) and most notably Richard Jenkins (The Visitor, Step Brothers) and Adam Goldberg (Dazed and Confused, Saving Private Ryan) in supporting roles.

The remarkable thing about "Chuck" is not that it's had a sustained run of really good episodes. It's that during that run, expectations have been raised -- and the show almost never fails to meet them.
All that's a long way of saying that my anticipation for "Chuck vs. the Push Mix" was really high -- and the episode surpassed it on almost every mark. Originally written as a season (if not series) finale before NBC extended its run by 11 episodes, it offered a hugely satisfying conclusion to the Volkoff story, but fortunately for all us "Chuck"-leheads, it's not the end of the show.
Recounting the machinations of Chuck's plan to bring Volkoff down and free his mom would take way too long -- but suffice to say that Chuck is now a strong enough spy that, save for one old-school intel flash early on, he managed to...

She's one of the few women competing at Cannes this year – and with her first feature. Alicia Duffy tells Maddy Costa about her lucky breaks, on-set rows and why Virginia Woolf is an inspiration
Here's a familiar story: a female director, with a clutch of prize-winning short films to her name, has her first feature selected for screening at Cannes. It happened to Lynne Ramsay, whose debut Ratcatcher was shown in 1999, three years after she won the Jury prize for her short Small Deaths. It happened to Andrea Arnold, who won the Jury prize for Red Road, and again in 2009 for Fish Tank. Now it's the turn of Alicia Duffy, whose debut feature, All Good Children, has been selected for the Director's Fortnight.
Like Arnold, who was an actor and TV presenter before switching to directing in her 30s, Duffy, now 38, was a latecomer to cinema. She tried everything from opera singing to advanced maths,...
