[rwp-review-recap id=”0″] Hollywood is frequently criticized about it’s never-ending recycling of novels and films without adding a drop of anything approaching inspired creativity. It’s the same story time after time, with only new faces speaking the same lines; Jane Austin’s classic 1813 novel, Pride and Prejudice has been adapted for the screen no less than […]

Once upon a time this would have been called best TV Series, but the world has definitely changed and the dynamic shift from traditional networks to cable and to Internet-only shows has forever changed the rules of the game. Now we can binge watch series whole seasons at a time as soon as they release. […]

[contextly_auto_sidebar id=”PKjaUeFqTuHDX1Rd7RYBueEmONKQGQiu”] Back at San Diego Comic-Con 2014, we got to chat with the cast of Falling Skies (this was just after Mind Wars had aired and just before Door Number Three). In two separate rounds we had interviews with Will Patton (Dan Weaver) and Noah Wyle (Tom Mason), and then with Scarlett Byrne (Lexi Mason) and Moon Bloodgood (Anne Glass) and winding up with the incomparable Doug Jones (Cochise). Our first round was with Will and Noah: Q: Noah, your character has been internalizing a lot more this season. We’ve been watching him deal with the internal struggles, and…

Looking back on the season I find that it’s been a hard road to continue to be engaged with the series in the same way that we were during the amazing first two seasons. It’s fallen into the same refrain that’s been the bane of global catastrophe television series since War of the Worlds. Earth is thrashed to the point of restoration of civilization is pretty much an imaginary fantasy at best, and the antagonist/aliens are beaten back to the point that…

While you’re waiting in line this weekend to catch the next blockbuster of the summer season, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, you can catch up on some of what’s happened in the ten years that have passed between 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes in three short films. Vice Media’s Motherboard […]

The History Channel’s bold experiment with Vikings concluded its second season with The Lord’s Prayer and when it did so, it was continuing to draw strong ratings solidly to keep it in first place among cable series shows on Thursday nights. The game of thrones being played between Viking chieftain Ragnar and King Horik would do […]

Bill Watters made it to the Red Carpet premier of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in San Francisco on Thursday, June 26th, and has kindly offered to let us run them on Bleeding Cool. I have to say I’m liking Gary Oldman’s sunglasses despite all. And here’s Watters’ photogallery: Bill Watters is an […]

by Bill Watters, Editor/Photographer After the premiere of Syfy’s new series last night of Heroes of Cosplay, we wanted to catch up with one of the shows featured cosplayers. Victoria, who goes by the nickname of Scruffy Rebel, was kind enough to give us some of her time today to chat about the show, the communities reaction, and her own views into the cosplay community at large. For those that aren’t familiar with her amazing cosplays, especially in the realm of Star Wars characters, she’s been part of the scene since 1999 when she attended Anime Expo for the first…
