Unlike Big Brother, showmances aren’t a regularity in Survivor. Whereas there is a Big Brother showmance almost every season, the contestants in the other CBS reality competition series aren’t too focused on finding love. However, sometimes, the Survivor castaways can’t deny a romantic connection, and they pursue a relationship on the show. And the last time a showmance formed in Survivor was in season 37, aka Survivor: David vs. Goliath.

At the beginning of Survivor Season 37, producers placed Kara Kay and Dan Rengering on the Goliath tribe. Kara, a 30-year-old from San Diego, CA, worked as a realtor, and Dan, a 28-year-old from Gainesville, Fl, worked as a Swat officer. And immediately, the two castaways hit it off.
In the first episode, Dan called Kara his “kryptonite.

As much as we all love a stunning tracking shot or an impeccably stylized thriller, even the most discerning cinephiles have to admit: Sometimes, you just want a good cry. Often it’s the most gut-wrenching movies that remain in our collective cultural memory the longest; “Sophie’s Choice,” “Terms of Endearment,” and “Schindler’s List,” to name just a few. Even in an age when auteur-driven driven sci-fi and superhero franchises reign supreme, Hollywood will always love a good old-fashioned tearjerker. Which is why we thought it necessary to single out some of the saddest movies of the century — so far.

Michael Cole began this week’s Raw with a sentence something like “we are only 50 days away, on this Road to WrestleMania”. 50 days. That’s a decent amount of time for WWE to put the hype machine behind the entire roster in order to assemble a fantastic card for their annual extravaganza. We have all heard the rumours of matches that WWE may have planned, but there is only one confirmed as we head into this episode of Raw, being the main event between Brock Lesnar and Royal Rumble winner, Roman Reigns, for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. With Triple H hyping a “huge announcement” for tonight, the question is… will things take a swerve on the road to the grand-daddy of them all.
Raw opens with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon heading to the ring, jovial and smiling. They talk about the Superbowl a little, and discuss the conteroversy that ended the Royal Rumble,...

So, it’s been a while since I wrote WWE Raw reviews, but here goes, I’m guessing this is like riding a muscular, spandex-clad bicycle. We are half way through January, and that means one thing in the world of professional wrestling; we’re almost at Royal Rumble, and thus; almost on the road to WrestleMania.
I, for one, have always been a fan of the first quarter of WWE’s year. Rumble, Mania, and some excellent Raw events are promoted in order to bring in a big number of fans for the company’s annual “big” show. So, really, from now until mid-April, no Raw should be wasted, and no event should feel “phoned in”.
We go right to the ring tonight, with John Cena standing, smiling, doing his comedy stuff and talking about a mixture of things such as… fun, The Authority, bring upset, Triple H and the “firings” of Dolph Ziggler,...

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau Bats 1,000
By Alex Simon
A veteran actor with more than forty film and TV roles to his credit, Denmark native Nikolaj Coster-Waldau finally hit paydirt as the nefarious, yet complicated, Jamie Lannister on HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones. However, far from resting the laurels of his hard-earned fame, Coster-Waldau has kept busy before the cameras. His latest effort, 1,000 Times Goodnight, stars Juliette Binoche as Rebecca, one of the world’s top war photojournalists, but she’s also a wife and mother, leaving behind a husband and two young daughters every time she travels to a new combat zone. After a near-death experience chronicling the ritual of a female suicide bomber, husband Marcus (Coster-Waldau) levels an ultimatum: give up the dangerous profession or lose the family she counts on being there when she returns from each assignment. With an offer to photograph a refugee camp in Kenya,...

Title: American Teacher Directed By: Vanessa Roth Written By: Vanessa Roth Cast: Erik Benner, Jonathan Dearman, Jamie Fidler, Rhena Jasey Screened at: Review 2, NYC, 9/8/11 Opens: September 30, 2011 Vanessa Roth’s documentary, which focuses on three teachers from diverse areas, is the kind of movie meant to serve as uplift-to remind us about how saintly the characters really are and how the society tramples on these idealistic folks by affording them low prestige and even lower wages. Though the film undoubtedly has its heart in the right place, it is flawed by repetition, by a refusal to explore its hypotheses instead of merely presenting them, and of a nature...

"With his Bud Cort haircut and morbid sensibility, Oliver Tate (Craig Roberts) is too smart for Swansea, Wales, an industrial city mired in some seriously mid-80s Thatcherite doldrums," begins Vadim Rizov at GreenCine Daily. "The trouble with Oliver is that he knows he's clever, which could justify anything: surreptitiously monitoring his parents' sex life, taunting an overweight girl to make local cutie Jordana (Yasmin Paige) notice him as a real livewire, or trying to trash the house of downhill neighbor Graham Purvis (Paddy Considine) who may be having an affair with mom (Sally Hawkins). Fortunately, Submarine, Richard Ayoade's feature debut, is aware of Oliver's self-justifying nature and the ways it could warp him…. Acutely aware of the long tradition of films about disaffected young men coming to terms with themselves, Ayoade doesn't duck the precedent: instead, like Oliver…, he nods to seemingly every single precursor.

Jennifer Lawrence is the latest star to officially sign on to star in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class. Lawrence will play the character of Mystique in the prequel according to the report to THR.
Lawrence joins James McAvoy, Aaron Johnson, Nicholas Hoult, Michael Fassbender, Alice Eve, Caleb Landry Jones, Lucas Till and Kevin Bacon in Vaughn’s follow-up to the hugely successful Kick-Ass.
The buzz surrounding Lawrence’s role in Winter’s Bone has been non-stop since it won the top prize at the Sundance Film Festival in January, so I’m sure she will bring her own level of acting supremacy to the role.
X-Men: First Class will see Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr before they were crowned as Professor X and Magneto, respectively. It will track their friendship, allies with other mutants as they work together to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. During the process,...

Let me make this clear: I don't usually watch reality television. Sure, I might catch a few episodes of Hell's Kitchen or something like that, but it's certainly not appointment television for me. That is, except for Bravo's new show Work of Art: The Next Great Artist. When I caught the show in reruns last week, I was really drawn to it. Not because I believe that the show will live up to its title and produce the next great artist, but because watching people create art is always a lot of fun. The fact that everyone on the cast is both talented and a personality makes my interest twofold.
I've seen every episode save the first half of episode two, but that was all in the past week — which is why I'm starting my reviews a little late. If I had known this show existed before then, I might...

Beside Professor X and Magneto who will become the center of the story, "X-Men: First Class" will see other characters from X-Men universe. Words are, Multiple Man is among those who will appear in the coming movie. Comic Book Movie claims a Marvel Studios source tells them that this mutant will be one of Professor X's definite students.
At least three young actors have been reported being seriously approached to fill the role, but the names are not mentioned. The same source previously informed the site that Benjamin Walker will be possibly cast as another mutant student, Henry McCoy aka Beast. However, this rumor has not been confirmed by either 20th Century Fox or the actor.
Multiple Man, who is also known by the name of Jaime Madrox, is a mutant who has the ability to create instant duplicates or "dupes" of himself. The character has appeared in 2006 "X-Men: The Last Stand...

Back again, we have Philip Barrett, Reel Loop’s humble DVD & Blu-ray Editor and me, Erik, Reel Loop’s site chief. Today’s subject: Law Abiding Citizen
Philip: Endings often make or break a motion picture. Be it stupid logic or a dark film suddenly turning chipper, movies can send audiences home with a bad taste in their mouth. On the other side, flaws can often be forgiven if a film has an ending that is completely and utterly awesome. Enter Law Abiding Citizen, a film that has an ending completely well shot and looks awesome, but has one really gaping problem in terms of logistics and what the film itself establishes. Yet for one hundred and three minutes the film is fun, slick, and features a little bit of social commentary.
Erik: It’s easy to rail against the system. Especially the American system which actually allows people to rail against it,...

This is one wedding made in reality-tv heaven. Jaime Dugan and Erik Huffman, who met on Survivor: China, married Saturday evening in Charleston, S.C., in front of 150 family and friends, including other reality cast members. Dugan, 23, and Huffman, 28, married shortly after 6 p.m. on the croquet lawn overlooking the beach at The Wild Dunes Resort. "She took your breath away, she was so beautiful," says a guest following the 30-minute ceremony. "There was an ocean breeze over the wedding. It was a very romantic wedding." The bride wore an Ulla-Maija Couture dress. She had 15 fittings at Charleston's Maddison Row...

Jaime Dugan and fiancé Erik Huffman may have lost out as competitors on Survivor: China but the newly-engaged couple just won an opportunity of a lifetime: a dream wedding. The pair, who grew up just 25 miles apart, won an $80,000 wedding courtesy of the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau in Charleston, S.C., not far from their hometowns in upstate South Carolina. "The cast is on the guest list because they were there every step of the way," Dugan tells People. "[Winner] Todd Herzog has already called us. He's stoked and he's coming.

Survivor: China's Jaime Dugan and Erik Huffman may not have won the prize money when they were voted off the island last year, but the couple won the ultimate prize: love. Dugan, 23, and Huffman, 27, who got engaged a couple of months ago in Charleston, S.C., are revealing the details of his proposal – which took place during a fake photo shoot elaborately planned by Huffman – and their romance. "When I turned around and saw him on his knee, I thought he was doing a really weird pose," Dugan tells People exclusively. "Slowly it started to sink in. I was thrilled.
