Here are our favourite moments from Peter Davison and co.'s tremendous gift to Who fans, The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot...
Contains Spoilers for The Day of the Doctor.
While we didn't see the Fifth, Sixth or Seventh Doctors in the flesh during The Day of the Doctor there's a possibility that they might still have featured somewhere. It's possible that, on set, Peter Davison, Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy refused to let Zygons be Zygons.
As with much of the anniversary programming, once you're done with being merely incredibly entertained by the Pythonesque brilliance and sequences involving K9 and Lisa Bowerman haunting Steven Moffat's dreams, you can then embark on a game of 'Spot the Reference'. Written, directed, and initiated by Peter Davison (confirming himself as the bigger nerd in the room), The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot is like a Easter Egg within an Easter Egg,...

This weekly column is intended to provide reviews of nearly every new indie release (and in certain cases studio films), including some VOD titles. Specific release dates and locations follow each review. Reviews This Week "Addicted to Fame" "Back to 1942" "California Solo" "The Collection" "Killing Them Softly" "King Kelly" "Silent Night" "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning" *** "Addicted to Fame" It was probably cathartic for B-movie director David Giancola to make "Addicted to Fame," his nimble chronicle of the perfect shit storm that was the making and marketing of "Illegal Aliens," his 2007 B-movie starring and co-produced by the late Anna Nicole Smith. Using this documentary as a form of confessional, the director is obviously hoping to engender sympathy and clear the...

In 2005, actor John James was asked by Vermont-based, low-budget filmmaker David Giancola to produce the director’s next movie. James enjoyed enormous fame in the ‘80s playing the character of Jeff Colby in Dynasty and had subsequently appeared in a number of TV shows and movies, including three directed by Giancola. But the actor was keen to try his hand at producing and so was all ears when the filmmaker made his pitch. “He said, ‘I have two movies,” recalls James. “One is a kids film called Robo Dog and the other is Illegal Aliens.’ I said, ‘Let’s do Robo Dog.

TV shows new and old came up in conversation this morning. "True Blood" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm" generated strong reactions, and comics writers seem to be looking forward to Syfy's "Alphas," which premieres tonight and apparently employs Marc Bernardin on its writing staff (always a good reason to check anything out), according to Neil Kleid.
Gabriel Hardman, meanwhile, critiqued Marvel's old Iron Man animated series—though he was more excited about Stan Lee's backdrop during the show's intro than he was about the in-story action. Find out why in our list of retweets below. It's there alongside some suggestions for revamped movie titles that use "In My Pants" as a secret ingredient.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is the Twitter Report for July 11, 2011.
@gabrielhardman Yeesh, this 90's Iron Man cartoon is bad though. But I did remember right, Stan Lee has a poster I drew in 1994 behind him in the intro.

The title of this episode, “freeluc.com,” really scared me. There was something awfully “greenotopia” about it, a reminder of that awful Season 3 storyline that managed to make me hate the entire Internet.
But surprise! It turned out to be a fairly entertaining episode. Sexy! Timely! Political! And critical of conservative wing-nuts! What's not to love?
Once again, we open on Sarah and Luc basking in a post-coital happy haze, comfortably lounging around on besemened sheets in what is clearly a post-69 pose.
I still find all this straight sex on TV really gross — it’s just so unnatural! And will somebody think of the children?! The children! — but I’m happy for Sarah.
All she and Luc ever seem to do, really, is have sex. Whereas if it were me, I’d alternate the sex with calling my friends to brag about it.
Oh, and Sarah has these fantastic sheets that basically shout out,...

The new cool these days is creating a comic series that can eventually be developed into a feature film - and it makes sense considering the comic can act as storyboards for any project. Today it was announced that Platinum Studios and Vanguard Animation have formed Vanguard Comics, an imprint designed to develop properties that can simultaneously be launched as comicbooks or graphic novels as well as feature films - the first being a monster movie entitled Illegal Aliens, about a skeptical tabloid reporter sent to a Texas border town to investigate cattle mutilations. The reporter uncovers stories of the chupacabra monster.

Reality TV star, actress and former model Anna Nicole Smith has died after collapsing in Hollywood, Florida. The 39-year-old was found unconscious in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino yesterday afternoon. According to hotel officials, Smith was "unresponsive" and emergency crews performed Cpr at the scene and a breathing apparatus was inserted in her throat. Paramedics were seen pumping her chest as she was taken from the hotel and transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood. She died at 2:49 pm ET. Local streets were closed off to rush Smith to the hospital, three miles away. Her five-month-old daughter, Dannielynn, was not with her mother, sources say. The baby is being cared for by a family friend in The Bahamas, where Smith has been living since last summer. Anna Nicole was fighting eviction and paternity lawsuits at the time of her death. Ex-boyfriends Larry Birkhead and G. Ben Thompson had both filed lawsuits against the actress/model. Photojournalist Birkhead filed a paternity suit last year claiming he was the biological father of Smith's baby daughter Dannielynn, while developer Thompson has been fighting to evict her from the home he helped secure for her in the Bahamas last summer. On Wednesday, a California judge demanded Smith submit her baby daughter for a DNA test by February 21 - in an effort to end the battle over who the biological father of the baby is. At the time of her death, Smith was also fighting the estate of her late husband, oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, for a share of his estate. Marshall died in 1995. In 2002, she was awarded $88 million from the estate of her late husband, but was denied claim that she was also owed interest on that money. Smith's life has been rocked with the bizarre and the tragic with moments of happiness and success. Born Vicky Lynn Hogan in Houston, Texas, she started her career as a waitress in a fried chicken restaurant but tasted success as a Playboy model, actress and star of her own self-titled, bizarre reality TV show. Smith was named Playboy Playmate of the Month in May 1992 and Playboy Playmate of the Year in 1993. She shocked the world when she married J. Howard Marshall II in 1994 when she was 26 and the oil tycoon was almost 90. Last September was a joyful and terrible month for the actress - she gave birth to baby daughter Dannielynn just three days before her 20-year-old son Daniel died from a lethal overdose of methadone and anti-depressants in his mother's hospital room in the Bahamas. Best known as a socialite, public figure and diet product spokesmodel, Smith also appeared in a handful of movies, including The Hudsucker Proxy, The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult and her final movie Illegal Aliens, which was released last year.

Anna Nicole Smith pulled out of her own movie premiere in New York on Wednesday over security fears. The actress/model was shaken up by photographers and reporters, who crowded her when she arrived at the Supreme Court in Washington, DC on Tuesday and she feared a repeat at the launch of her new film. As a result, Smith was a no-show at the premiere for Illegal Aliens, which she stars in and helped fund. Director David Giancola explained, "On the Supreme Court steps she was so crushed by media, they were very intimidated." Meanwhile, the actress' mental state has been questioned again in America after she appeared for one TV interview to promote her new film wearing just her underwear - and slurring her answers.
