Gaius was always the slithering type on that cult classic, Battlestar Galactica, and I can’t say actor James Callis’s new character is any less slimy. Get ready, Gaius fans. Callis is coming to CW’s Arrow.
Callis will play The Dodger, an infamous and mysterious jewel thief, renowned the world over in a new episode of Arrow. His M.O. is unique, too. He manipulates innocent people to help execute his crimes for him. Well, I say unique, but we’ve seen this sort of thing in films and even in the BBC’s Sherlock. Still, it can get nasty, can’t it, as well as sneaky and interesting?
The TVGuide exclusive detailed that when the Sherwood Ruby goes missing in Starling City, Stephen Amell’s vigilante archer, Oliver Queen and his trusty side kick, Diggle, acted by David Ramsey conduct an investigation that puts them on The Dodger’s tail.

After conquering the Easter opening weekend record with $61.3 million, Clash of the Titans aims to repeat as box office king this weekend. It will face stiff competition, though, from comedy Date Night, starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Also opening in nationwide release is Letters to God, which hopes to replicate the minor success of comparable Christian movies. Overall business will likely be way down from last weekend, when Clash, Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? and The Last Song debuted. Clash of the Titans adds 25 theaters this weekend for a total of 3,802, though this will do little to prevent a big second weekend decline. Recent similar movies 300 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor fell 54 and 59 percent from their openings, respectively. With mixed word of mouth (Box Office Mojo readers gave the movie a decent "B" grade, but the tacked-on 3D effects have been greeted...

Sony Pictures' PG-13 horror film The Grudge 2 bowed to $20.8 million opening, less then reported Monday, but still handily claimed the top spot for the frame. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Pictures The Departed had a stronger-than-initially-reported hold with a $19 million take and a drop of 29%. Universal Pictures' Man of the Year opened to $12.3 million, a little under estimates but still good enough for the third spot. Overall, the weekend was up an impressive 26% from last year's opening when The Fog, released by Sony's Screen Gems, was the top grosser with a scant $11.7 million take. Total films grossed $110.9 million this weekend compared to $87.9 million last year at this time. The other shocker at the boxoffice was Gener8xion Entertainment's One Night With the King. Bowing in 909 theaters, the film centering on the life of biblical character Queen Esther earned an impressive $4.1 million for a solid per-screen average of $4,518.

One Night With the King has all the trappings of a biblical epic with resplendent Mogul palaces of Rajasthan, India, standing in for fifth century B.C. Persia and sumptuous costumes and design elements re-creating the Persian empire in breathtaking splendor. Yet the heart of the matter, the story of Esther, an orphaned Jewish girl who becomes a queen and saves her people from annihilation, is inert.
Director Michael O. Sajbel never gets a handle on a way to make the story come alive for modern audiences. Scenes jammed with beautifully costumed extras, exotic animals and impressive vistas of the city of Jodhpur quicken one's pulse. Yet whenever the camera moves inside those palaces for intrigues associated with empire building and bloody revenge, the movie devolves into a talky, static affair featuring a cast with wildly varying accents and acting abilities.
The unfortunate upshot is that One Night has little chance to cross over to audiences outside its Christian demographic even when Fox Home Entertainment takes over the DVD release in the spring after its national rollout today. The film's biggest potential hook -- the reteaming of Peter O'Toole and Omar Sharif in their first movie since Lawrence of Arabia -- disappears in less than a minute. O'Toole appears fleetingly in a prologue, then vanishes, sharing nary a scene with Sharif.
The screenplay by writer Stephan Blinn (basing his script on the novel "Hadassah: One Night With the King" by Tommy Tenney & Mark Andrew Olsen) is filled with plots and schemes but little real action. Not that good filmmakers can't make a banquet out of palace intrigue. But all this movie can manage is meatloaf: Actors stand in awkward-looking poses to declaim dialogue often lifted directly from the Bible. The spark of genuine drama is everywhere missing.
Another problem is casting. As Esther, young American actress Tiffany Dupont's line readings are self-conscious and modern-sounding. Nor does she understand how to use her physical presence to claim scenes that should belong to her. English-born Luke Goss as King Xerxes is competent enough -- once one gets past his ill-defined accent -- but the story confronts him with a character who is more indecisive than Hamlet.
Xerxes wants to rule over a rich culture of enlightenment and tolerance. Yet his princes successfully pressure him into military adventurism. The villain, Haman (a one-note James Callis), bribes Xerxes into issuing a decree to slaughter all Jews within the kingdom. At this juncture, neither man realizes that the king's new wife, Esther, is Jewish. The key point of the story is how Esther, persuaded by her uncle Mordecai (John Rhys-Davies) that she must intervene, goes against all protocols to sway her husband's mind. And he changes his mind in a flash.
Distinguished work is turned in by the veteran Davies and by Tiny Lister Jr., who uses his deep, gravely voice and imposing physique as the royal eunuch to powerful effect. Israeli actor Jonah Lotan is effective as Esther's childhood friend, while Sharif is persuasive as a father figure to the waffling king.
The real heroes, though, are designer Aradhana Seth, costume designer Neeta Lula and cinematographer Steven Bernstein, who furnish a perfect setting for the tale. Jac Redford's generic background music, on the other hand, won't shut up.

Movie legend Omar Sharif proved he still has his hell-raising ways intact at 72, after reportedly beating up a fellow actor in a drunken brawl in India. The Lawrence Of Arabia star reportedly quarreled with Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King villain John Noble in a Jodhpur hotel - and then hit him with a lamp, according to British newspaper the Daily Mirror. The two stars, in India filming One Night With The King with Sharif's Lawrence of Arabia co-star Peter O'Toole, stopped fighting as soon as the lamp smashed, according to fellow revelers. One says, "The conversation developed into a major disagreement between John and Omar, although no one is quite sure what it was about." Sharif was arrested in France this summer after head-butting a policeman during a fracas in a casino.
