Conventional wisdom says no way the writers of this show kill off Joe Miller. How could they?
No. Freaking. Way.
No way would they throw down the gauntlet on the tragically hip ex-cop turned space cowboy with the boxing pedigree of Mickey Rourke's "Barfly" and the deadliest one-liners since Chevy Chase's "Fletch." Miller's the guy fans of this show tune in to see every week — the guy we all ask: what's he gonna do or say this week?
But after watching The Expanse Season 2 Episode 5 — a heart-rending, gut-wrenching tear-jerker if there ever was one — what else are we to think, after watching the sentient asteroid he hitched a ride on, with the only love of his life (or at least her consciousness) at the controls crash and burn on Venus?
Miller has already cheated death a bunch of times, so maybe, just maybe (fingers crossed), it's premature to...

If only director Sion Sono can keep up the current pace he’s working at, this universe may very well still be worth saving.
After a handful of gorgeous and criticially beloved features like Love Exposure, Sono blew the doors off of 2014’s year of cinema with his brilliant and in many ways definitive Why Don’t You Play In Hell?. Well, he’s back once again with what may very well be his most anarchic and revelatory achievement to date.
Entitled Tokyo Tribe, Sono takes to the world of gangsters in what is ostensibly a Tokyo sometime in the near-ish future. For all intents and purposes an action film in the body of a musical, Sono’s latest is based on the manga series Tokyo Tribe 2 from Santa Inoue, and melds Shaw Brothers-esque clan battles with a futuristic setting and rap music. Think The Kid With The Golden Arm...

2B Pictures, the banner of Blighty’s Future Film Group, is adapting Alan K. Baker’s novel Dyatlov Pass, based on the mysterious ski incident, for the big screen.
The film will be directed by Simon Fellows (Malice in Wonderland), following the true-life events that occurred on February 1959 in the Russia’s Urals, when nine experienced cross-country skiers mysteriously died.
Andy Briggs (Ghost Town) will adapt the script on Baker’s version of the event. The hiker’s deaths have already attracted much speculations being linked to paranormal activity or a military keeping secret.
The tent had been cut open from inside and counted footprints from eight or nine people in meter-deep snow. Though there was no sign of fight, two skiers had fractured skulls, two had broken ribs, one was missing her tongue and clothing belonging to them contained high levels of radiation. Authorities said the group died as...

With Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” poised to conquer the box office next month, it’s not surprising that certain opportunistic distributors are scheduling the release of their own Alice-inspired endeavors to coincide with Burton’s insanely surreal adaptation. Veteran direct-to-video action director Simon Fellows (“Until Death”, “7 Seconds”, “Second in Command”) takes a contemporary approach to the material with his 2009 thriller “Malice in Wonderland”, a film which borrows elements from Lewis Carroll’s classic and places them firmly into London’s seedy underbelly. Maggie Grace stars as Alice, an American law student who loses her memory after being struck by a cab driven by Whitey (Danny Dyer). In order to reclaim her identity, Alice must navigate the city’s violent underbelly, a twisted world stuffed to capacity with drug-addled losers, unstable gangsters, and an array of criminal activity. “Malice in Wonderland” made its UK DVD debut on February 8th.

Did anyone besides myself watch the Eugene Hess scripted, Charles Winkler directed 50 Cent/Val Kilmer cop thriller “Streets of Blood?” Anyone? I didn’t think so. Although it wasn’t unbearable, it certainly wasn’t a memorable experience. According to Variety, 50 Cent and Mr. Kilmer — also known as the Second in Command of straight-to-video action flicks — will reteam for director Jesse Terro’s “The Gun,” which is scheduled to begin filming sometime next month in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The article also blames Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson for the script, so if you have any issues with the material whatsoever, you know exactly who to address your letters to. However, I strongly suggest keeping your opinions to yourself. Randall Emmett, George Furla, Richard Jackson, and, yes, Curtis jackson, will all handle producing duties. “The Gun” follows a pair of life-long friends as they gradually become entrenched within the shady world of illegal arms dealing.
