Stars: Fairuza Balk, Nicol Williamson, Jean Marsh, Piper Laurie, Matt Clark, Michael Sundin, Tim Rose, Mak Wilson, Stephen Norrington, Justin Case, John Alexander, Deep Roy, Emma Ridley | Written by Walter Murch, Gill Dennis, L. Frank Baum | Directed by Walter Murch
According to Roger Ebert, Walter Murch is “the most respected film editor and sound designer in the modern cinema.” Across a career spanning over 50-years, including multiple Academy Award wins from nine nominations, he has only two directorial credits to his name. The second is a fourth-season episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which was preceded over 25 years before by the only feature he directed; Return to Oz.
After her adventures in the Land of Oz, Dorothy Gale (Fairuza Balk) remains obsessed with the locale that she previously visited. Out of a fear that their niece is experiencing delusions, Dorothy’s aunt and uncle take her away to a sanitorium.

Former Atp player, John Alexander, does not like the way Novak Djokovic has used medical timeouts during his career.
Djokovic suffered a surprising loss at the United Cup to Australian No. 1 Alex de Minaur, with Team Serbia going on to lose the overall tie to the Australians as well.
However, the world No. 1 was hampered by a wrist injury throughout the contest and received medical treatment, even though Djokovic did not want to use excuses when he addressed the issue after the match.
It seems clear that the injury was a real one and that Djokovic was not pretending. He also had the problem in his previous singles battle at the event against Czech Republic's Jiri Lehecka and took a medical timeout in that match.
However, former player John Alexander does not believe these are isolated issues. As per ABC, he stated that medical timeouts are a rule that...

The episode of Revisited covering Hellboy II: The Golden Army was Written by Emilie Black, Edited by Ric Solomon, Narrated by Niki Minter, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Following the beloved Hellboy adaptation that was released in 2004 by Guillermo Del Toro, fans wanted more. As reviewed on a previous video, that one is excellent, so it was not surprising when the sequel was announced. Thus, in 2008, Hellboy II: The Golden Army (watch it Here) was released, and it ruled!
Let’s start with the rating here and it’s a complicated one for me. It’s actually hard to rate it because my reviewer brain, the part of me that is highly cinematically educated wants to give it an eight out of ten, which isn’t bad, but my heart wants to say it can’t be rated on a normal scale.

Based on the play by Joseph Kesselring, Frank Capra's 1944 film version of "Arsenic and Old Lace" may be the director's darkest movie. Playing like a comedic version of Hitchcock, the film is about a pair of kindly old sisters named Abby and Marth (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair) who occasionally take in lodgers for the night in their remote home. If the lodgers reveal themselves to be sad, lonely, unhappy old men, Abby and Martha take it upon themselves to poison them -- using elderberry wine -- as an act of mercy. They then employ their nephew Teddy (John Alexander) to bury the bodies...

Since they were given their heads, the big auteurs of modern TV have been its screenwriters. So “No Return” can be taken various ways. It’s an ITV series from Red Production Company, which has attracted huge heat producing Russell T. Davies’ “It’s a Sin” and “Years and Years.”
It’s sold by Studiocanal, Europe’s biggest film-tv production-distribution powerhouse which owns Red Production Company and is behind the “Paddington” franchise, multiple Liam Neeson hit thrillers and upcoming Western, “Django.”
In production since July, it’s billed as compelling event drama, starring BAFTA award winning actress Sheridan Smith (“Mrs Biggs”).
But it’s also the latest from Danny Brocklehurst, now one of the U.K.’s preeminent screenwriters.
Few have his range or pedigree. After learning his craft from two of the greatest TV voices of working class Britain, Paul Abbott (“Shameless”) and Jimmy McGovern, he wrote half of Harlan Coben...

“Belgravia” is a lavish historical drama set in the early days of Queen Victoria‘s reign that tells the story of an upwardly mobile family striving to find their place among the aristocracy. This six-part limited series on Epix is based on the novel of the same name by Oscar winner Julian Fellowes, who is fresh from the success of the “Downton Abbey” film. The TV edition of that drama set against the backdrop of the English aristocracy was an Emmys favorite, picking up 15 awards over the years.
“Belgravia” could do equally well with TV academy voters who may be eager to embrace escapist fare like this in these trying times. With its lavish attention to detail, “Belgravia” is sure to contend in a slew of below-the-line races.

In ten years time everyone is going to be saying “The Marvel films were actually quite rubbish, for the most part, weren’t they?”. This is because, they are. I enjoyed the odd one here and there (Guardians of the Galaxy) but for the most part, they are bad films. The Avengers have taken the traditionally accepted plot and story arc conventions of film making and torn them up. Why have Oreos when we can have double stuffed. Why have double stuffed when we can have quadruple stuffed? Those dark biscuit bits are unnecessary, just squirt the white cream into my mouth for over 3 hours while I gurgle with something that might be pleasure but isn’t.

If you liked “Downton Abbey,” then has Epix got the show for you! Because limited series “Belgravia” looks and sounds Exactly like “Downton” — the trailer even reveals an almost identical piano theme.
Here’s the thing though: “Belgravia” is a Julian Fellowes adaptation of a Julian Fellowes novel of the same name, and Fellowes, Gareth Neame, Nigel Marchant, and Liz Trubridge are the executive producers. In other words, it can’t be a “Downton” ripoff if it’s by the folks behind “Downton.”
(And yes, we checked with Epix: This lookalike — and soundalike — show has nothing to do with “Downton” other than the producing team. It’s not a spinoff or companion series.)

Deadline understands that Wilkinson, who was nominated for Oscars for his roles in Michael Clayton and In The Bedroom, will play Peregrine, Earl of Brockenhurst in the six-episode series.
Peregrine, tall and handsome in his youth, is a typical aristocrat who has lived his life according to an accepted code, one that he has never questioned. He loves his wife, however, even if their marriage is a courteous but essentially external affair of form and rule, manner and custom. His family circumstances have brought out his depressive tendencies.
He will star alongside The Crown and Downton Abbey star Harriet Walter, who plays the Countess of Brockenhurst. Elsewhere, Star Trek Into Darkness’ Alice Eve, Episodes’ Tamsin Greig and Outcast’s Philip Glenister feature.

“Downtown Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes is working on a new British period drama, “Belgravia,” and Epix has snagged the rights to air the six-part limited series in the U.S., TheWrap has learned.
ITV placed the initial series order for the project, which is based on Fellowes’ 2016 novel of the same name, and will air “Belgravia” in the U.K. The series is a co-production between NBCUniversal’s Carnival Films — the production company behind “Downton” — and Epix.
Set in London in the 1800s, “Belgravia” is a story of secrets and dishonor in the upper echelon of London society. When the Trenchards accept an invitation to a high-society ball hosted by the Duchess of Richmond on the fateful evening of the Battle of Waterloo, it sets in motion a series of events that will have consequences for decades to come.

Epix has boarded Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes’ forthcoming period drama Belgravia – the ITV series first revealed by Deadline last month.
The U.S. cable network is co-producing the Carnival Films drama with the British commercial broadcaster and will air it day-and-date with the UK debut. The series will begin production later this spring. Casting is currently underway.
It is a boon for the MGM-owned network; Fellowes’ previous hit Downton Abbey aired on PBS Masterpiece in the U.S.
The six-part series is based on Fellowes’ novel Belgravia, a tale of secrets and scandals set in 1840s London. The drama is set in the 19th Century, around seventy years before Downton, when the upper echelons of society began to rub shoulders the emerging industrial nouveau riche. But the story begins on the eve of the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, when the Duchess of Richmond throws a party in Brussels for the Duke of Wellington.

How To Get Away With Murder star Alfred Enoch is replacing Jodie Whittaker in the second season of BBC drama Trust Me.
The series, which is produced by Happy Valley producer Red Production Company, was a hit for the British public broadcaster last year with over 6M viewers. However, Whittaker’s new job as the Doctor in the new season of Doctor Who meant she was unable to return.
Instead, Enoch, who also starred in Harry Potter, will play Corporal Jamie McCain, a survivor of a shock enemy attack. Recovering from a spinal injury in the neurological unit of Glasgow Hospital, which has left him temporarily paralysed, Jamie faces a new enemy as fellow patients on the ward die unexpectedly around him.
Enoch will be joined in the four-part drama by Four Weddings and a Funeral’s John Hannah, who plays Dr Archie Watson, whose awkward persona hides a seedier and more sinister side,...
