Complaints about the sound mix on Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” clearly didn’t have much influence on the members of the Cinema Audio Society, who on Tuesday made the film one of the five nominees for the best feature-film sound mix of 2014.
“Interstellar” joined “American Sniper,” “Birdman,” “Guardians of the Galaxy” and “Unbroken” in receiving nominations for the 2014 Cas Awards for Outstanding Achievement in Sound Mixing, which will be presented on Feb. 14 at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel.

Nominations have been announced for the 51st annual Cinema Audio Society Awards, and as ever with this group lately, there are a few surprises. For instance, "Unbroken" made the cut despite being mostly ignored by the guilds and industry groups so far, and Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" showed up as well. The biggest jaw-dropper might just be that after months of being the poster child for sound complaints, somehow, some way, "Interstellar" ended up in the mix (no pun intended). There are always one or two that drop out, however. Last year, for example, another Marvel movie — "Iron Man 3" — was chalked up here. But it fell out in favor of "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" with the Academy. I find myself wondering if "The Battle of the Five Armies" could make the cut this year as it's even more of an action/sound film than the last.

In The Flesh impresses this week with the depth of its characterisation and tense climax…
Review
This review contains spoilers.
Last week’s review expressed concern that In The Flesh’s second series was spiralling uncontrollably away from the compact power of the first. Its multiple new characters and plot threads - went the argument - were threatening to replace human truth with shallow allegory and distract the drama from the emotionally shrewd storytelling that made such a success of series one.
Whoever wrote all that must be an idiot. Episode three was a tremendous hour of teen drama, succinct, honest and involving. If In The Flesh is spiralling away from Kieren’s woes to tell stories about new characters as honestly-written and touchingly performed as Freddie and Hayley (Bryan Parry and Linzey Cocker), then more power to it. Keep ‘em coming and let’s have a series three order...

In The Flesh returns with a master class in expanding a drama’s scope without diluting its power. Here’s our review…
This review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here.
Any doubt as to whether 2013’s excellent In The Flesh had the scope for a return visit to Roarton has been quashed. The series two opener meaningfully expands the world of the un-zombie drama without losing any of the original’s charm or allegorical power.
If anything, this new series promises to top the first. With twice as many episodes in the second run, creator Dominic Mitchell has been able to seed mysteries and lay the groundwork for plots to gradually unfold rather than rattle out this time around.
Not that Mitchell wastes any time in establishing the key conflicts of series two in episode one. The very first shot greets us with...

In The Flesh returns to BBC Three in May with twice the episodes and every bit of the charm of series one…
Un-zombie drama In The Flesh arrived on BBC Three last year fully-formed, having sprung Athena-like from the head of creator Dominic Mitchell. Similar to a carved miniature or a Swiss Army Knife, its containment - a complete story of grief, prejudice and acceptance folded neatly into three hour-long episodes - was part of the attraction.
Doubling the length and broadening the scope for series two then, was a dangerous prospect. A second run of In The Flesh risked being a bloated, diluted version of the first, a drama that had made its point, outstayed its welcome, and was hanging around only to weaken the good work of its predecessor.
Danger averted. The second run is nothing of the sort. In the most natural of ways,...

All too soon, BBC Three's unique take on the zombie drama, Dominic Mitchell's In The Flesh, has reached its climax. At a series launch screening, director Jonny Campbell talked at length about how he and Mitchell wanted this run of episodes to feel complete and not like a teaser or "three-part pilot" - but in the event, that's exactly what In The Flesh feels like.
In the aftermath of episode two's dramatic events, Kieran (Luke Newberry) has fled his family home and Rick (David Walmsley) is being forced to choose between his human family and his 'rabid rotter' compatriots.
Kieran eventually finds himself back at the supermarket - briefly glimpsed in episode one's opening sequence - where he and Amy (Emily Bevans) stalked and killed Lisa Lancaster (Riann Steele). Back then, Jem (Harriet Cains) - despite all her bluster - was unable to kill her zombified brother when she had the chance.

From its outset, BBC Three's new Sunday night drama In The Flesh had to face high expectations - taking on the time-slot previously allocated to long-running cult favourite Being Human is pressure enough, but with Us zombie offering The Walking Dead smashing cable TV records across the pond, there was something of an onus on new writer Dominic Mitchell's three-parter to prove that it had something different to offer.
In The Flesh is certainly different, but taking liberties with 'classic' zombie mythology was also a risk. If - like this writer - you prefer your zombies in the mindless, shambling mould established by George A Romero, then talk of flesh-eaters that "evolve" might leave you hankering for your Night of the Living Dead two-disc special edition.
For the most part though, the opening instalment of this very British take on the genre works. It's a rather unsettling mixture of...
