Alamo Drafthouse Cinema should offer a special brew spiked with drippings from the Bloodstone to celebrate their newest infernal partnership. After 25 years of dormancy, Full Moon Features is pulling the Sword of Laertes out from the chests of the vampires of Subspecies for a limited theatrical release of its newest open wound. And make no mistake about it, director Ted Nicolaou’s prequel Subspecies V: Bloodrise is a must-watch for Subspecies fans, and a should-see for horror fans in general.
Beginning with Subspecies (1991) and running through Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm (1998), this movie series remained unique, without having to veil its most overt influence—which is all the most classic portrayals of the legendary creature on film or page, particularly by way of eastern European castles. Vampire origins are honored respectfully and malevolently mistreated in equal measure. The films are love letters to Romania, and all its most hidden occult secrets and superstitions,...

Simon Guerrier and Marek Kukula's The Scientific Secrets Of Doctor Who is well worth a look, says Patrick...
One of the quotes The Scientific Secrets Of Doctor Who chooses to open with is said by the Fourth Doctor's sidekick Leela in 1977's Horror Of Fang Rock: "I, too, used to believe in magic, but the Doctor has taught me about science. It is better to believe in science". And while it is fundamentally true, it doesn't quite hold water when you look at Doctor Who's relationship with science over the years.
The earlier seasons, particularly the Hartnell/Troughton monochrome years, tried to root explanations in science - or the closest thing to it - while the more recent series starring Peter Capaldi's cantankerous incarnation asked us to suspend disbelief most of the time (In The Forest Of The Night, though underappreciated, defied basic science).

After the foolish fondness of The Angel’s Share (2012), Ken Loach is back in familiar ground with the story of Jimmy Gralton, who built a community hall in Ireland’s County Leitrim in the early 1920s that enraged the local haves. Also involved with reinstating an evicted tenant farmer, he fled to America for ten years or so, before returning to do the same thing all over again. The heart of the film is expressed in the words of his mother, at the hearing on his deportation in 1933 (the only Irishman ever to be deported from his country): “Why is an old tin hall so dangerous?”
The first cause of all the trouble is that education is the preserve of the church, and Father Sheridan is royally pissed – the hall is a place (the only place) for local kids to learn drawing, literature, boxing, and so on. The priest...

Mark checks out a new mashup of Doctor Who with Shakespeare...
Over its 50 years, Doctor Who has made some pretty wild pseudo-historical leaps in its representation of artists. The Fourth Doctor wrote “This Is A Fake” on the Mona Lisa in Uv pen. Donna Noble came up with the name of Miss Marple. Stevie Wonder sang under London Bridge in 1814.
The new BBC Books tie-in The Shakespeare Notebooks follows in much the same tradition of warping history around the Doctor, with its whole audacious premise being that most of the Bard’s works were Doctor Who fan fiction.
It’s a fun place to start, with an introduction that contextualises the book as a collection of notes and scraps, comprising early drafts and notes written by Will himself. These notes happen to have been transcribed by seasoned Who authors James Goss, Jonathan Morris, Julian Richards, Justin Richards and Matthew Sweet.

To celebrate its 50th birthday this month, Andrew talks us through 50 great Doctor Who scenes...
Doctor Who, what with being the greatest thing ever and all, has its fair share of great scenes. You could – and people have – write a list of one great scene per story. There are thousands to choose from. Here, we have a list of fifty in no particular order. The criteria is simply that we enjoy them.
Because we all know about 'Do I have the right?' and 'I'm not going to let you stop me now', I've also tried finding moments from less popular episodes just to give them some love. No story is completely without merit (Even Timeflight has Khalid) and like it or not, Time and the Rani happened, so we're all just going to have to deal with it.
So, here's a selection of fifty great scenes.

Animation studio behind Toy Story and Monsters University answers appeal from veteran director for editing supplies.
Pixar, the Disney-owned animation studio best known for its cutting edge digital filmmaking, has answered an appeal from British director Ken Loach for “old school” editing supplies.
Loach put a call out through ScreenDaily last week to find a batch of film numbering tape, essential to help finish editing his next and possibly last narrative feature, Jimmy’s Hall.
The tape is needed to identify the sound and picture when cutting physical film stock and since Loach is likely the last feature director to have resisted the move to digital, supplies were due to run out at the end of this week.
After the story was published, Steve Bloom, an editor at Pixar in California jumped at the chance to help. Apparently, each editor at the animation studio, famous for films such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo and [link...

Film director Ken Loach is making his final feature film – and he needs your help to finish it. According to Screen Daily, Loach has put out an appeal for fast-vanishing stocks of old-style analogue editing tape as he works on postproduction for Jimmy's Hall.
The veteran film-maker has eschewed digital editing equipment, and is cutting Jimmy's Hall on a traditional flatbed editor – and is running out of numbered tape, which helps synchronise picture and sound.
Loach told Screen Daily: "We're making a start and putting the scenes together. But we're finding that one or two of the support services are fading and one of those is in supplies of numbering tape.

The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Collection. Eleven Classic Adventures. Eleven Brilliant Writers. One Incredible Doctor.
Festival Of Death by Jonathan Morris is NuWho Series Six. Or, to put it another way, Series Six of NuWho is Festival Of Death. First published in 2000, Morris’ novel sees the Doctor arriving somewhere he’s already saved only to find he made the ultimate sacrifice to do so. Realising his fate and accepting it in less than Moffat’s year-long storyline, the fourth Doctor travels back in time to the same place to meat his destiny.
This novel is a classic example of having to read a book more than once to get everything out of it, as it contains more time travelling confusion than anything the television series has cooked up. Near the halfway mark I was getting frustrated by the novel, not being able to understand a great deal, which conflicted with my level of enjoyment massively.

The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Collection. Eleven Classic Adventures. Eleven Brilliant Writers. One Incredible Doctor.
What impresses me most with these choices of reprinted novels is the list of authors. Anyone with knowledge of Doctor Who in print will have heard of Justin Richards’ contribution or perhaps know the work of Stephen Cole, improving the appearance of reprinting books by writers who ‘get’ Doctor Who, but that’s no truer than this novel, which is written by Mark Gatiss. That brilliantly intelligent man who gave us The Unquiet Dead, who played the titular riser-from-the-dead in The Lazarus Experiment and recently gave us back the Ice Warriors certainly delivers here.
It’s no secret that Gatiss has a strong love for the third Doctor and with Last Of The Gaderene he provides us with every item on the checklist for the atypical Pertwee adventure. I suppose the television story this novel...

I'm always experiencing Déjà vu these days. Like the other day I visited a lovely Cornish pub for a cosy meal with my wife Ally, and yet all of a sudden I had this notable feeling that I'd been there before. No word of warning, and then Bam! It was like I'd suddenly realised that I'd been a patron of this lovely olde worlde pub in another life. Back in the 1800s, I was probably one of those poor scribes clamouring for a slice of bread, slab of cheese and lots of ale in return for a dreary recital of my latest meisterwork. The pub would have seen a mass exodus of people, leaving me to mop the floor with my upturned head.
Still, this Déjà vu can extend to the telly - the problem with modern British TV is that these days, there seems to be more repeats than...

A new Doctor Who audio adventure is available, continuing the travels of the Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor. McGann starred in the 1996 failed pilot that attempted to bring back the series, but although he's only made one onscreen appearance, he's been performing in Doctor Who audio dramas for a good while now. This story features the classic Ice Warriors.
"The Ice Warriors, first encountered by the Second Doctor (Patrick Troughton), return for a brand new audio outing. This time, however, it is the Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) who comes face to face with these familiar, noble creatures...
Millions of years ago, the noble Ice Warriors fled to Deimos, moon of Mars, hoping to sit out the radioactive death throes of their home planet. When the Tardis lands on Deimos, the Doctor discovers that the Warriors' ancient catacombs are now a popular stop for space tourists. But the Martian dynasties are more than history,...
