“Game of Thrones” has ruled the non-prosthetic makeup Emmy category for four out of its six seasons — winning Emmys the last two years in a row. But the race is wide open this season during its hiatus, with the nominees ranging from perennials “Vikings” (its fourth nomination) and “Penny Dreadful” (its first nomination) to newcomers “Westworld,” “Stranger Things,” and “This Is Us.”
While the Norse-driven “Vikings” (“All His Angels”) offered lots of tattoos, scars, and blood, and the supernatural “Penny Dreadful” (“Perpetual Night”) boasted a rogues gallery of scars, creepy flesh, and gore, the race will come down to sci-fi dual universes and time-hopping family drama.
“Westworld” (“The Original”)
Christien Tinsley and his team (Myriam Arougheti, Gerald Quist, Lydia Milars, Ed French) forged new territory in finding a balance between beauty, period, reality, and fantasy for characters in the western theme park and mechanistic programming center. In order to conceptualize...

AFI Docs has unveiled its full 2014 program, a slate of 84 buzzed-about films from 28 countries that will unspool from June 18-22 in Washington DC and Silver Spring, MD. As previously announced, the fest gets going with "Holbrook/Twain: An American Odyssey," the opening night selection from director Scott Teems that follows celebrated character actor Hal Holbrook on the tour of his popular one-man show "Mark Twain Tonight!"

Derek Magyar's journal
Since our interview last September (read it here), Derek Magyar and I have kept in touch. In early October 2011 he dropped me an email generously thanking me for my article and support and I in turn replied, thanked him, and promptly proposed a follow up idea I had.
Derek is soon to commence work on his next feature film, currently titled The Secrets We Share. With this in mind I thought it would be fascinating to document a filmmaker's journey from preproduction to production and...

Chicago – Given my general aversion to modern soap operas, I was understandably nervous about reviewing Francis Lawrence’s “Water For Elephants,” an over-heated romance based on the best-selling book. Much to my surprise, this is an effective drama that should remind viewers of “the kind of movies they don’t make any more.” It would have been right at home in the Hollywood of the ’40s and ’50s and should make a satisfying rental for nearly any audience willing to go for the cheesy ride.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0
One of the first things one notices about “Water For Elephants,” especially given the strong HD transfer from Fox, is that the film looks stunning. They’re the names that most people don’t notice in the credits, but people like cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto (“Brokeback Mountain”) and 8-time Oscar-nominated composer James Newton Howard add a caliber to the production values of a film...

The second half of 90210's third season started last night and the only thing on my mind is that extraordinary performance by AnnaLynne McCord as she faced Mr. Cannon again for the last time we hope. Last night also introduced us to Dixon and Annie's Cousin Emily (Abbie Cobb), who nearly gave me a toothache and looks strangely like a baby Kelly Taylor clone or something.
Extremities, 90210 - Style
Naomi channeled her inner Farrah Fawcett from the film "Extremities" as she beat the crap out of Mr. Cannon after he tried to force her and Silver into giving a false confession to clear his name. While trying to force Naomi to go to the bank to clear out her trust fund, Mr. Cannon didn't expect the two girls to fight back and he sure as hell didn't expect Naomi to snap the way she did. When Naomi picked up that...
