The Teen Titans have proven remarkably flexible since their mid-1960s debut as a collection of sidekicks. They appealed to the young readers with Bob Haney’s laughable “hip” language and as the readership grew up, so too did the members of the team, addressing adult issues with changing times and tastes.

They were propelled from mid-list to top-seller status by the Marv Wolfman and George Pérez run starting in summer 1980. These were teens on the verge of adulthood and had problems and issues that the college-age readership were drawn to. The blend of supernatural, science fiction, and super-heroics meant the stories could, and did, go anywhere.

In 2003, things went full-circle as the more mature incarnation was youthified for younger viewers as the Teen Titans hit the Cartoon Network in a five-season run. This success led to the even younger Teen Titans Go! so all the characters and their conflicts...

Well, it’s about time. For the last twenty-five years or so, we’ve had one animated Batman series after another but to be honest only two are really good: Batman the Animated Series and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. The latter has been slowly coming out on Blu-Ray with season one in 2013 and season two in 2015. This month, we’re getting the third and final season and the good news is that it is as entertaining as remembered.

After increasingly odd interpretations of Batman, Warner Animation decided to go retro and bring back the Batman of the 1960s, who was not afraid to operate in daylight and would partner with just about anyone in a mask as the need arose. Producer James Tucker saw to it that it honored the comic the series took its name from while modernizing it with contemporary characters and characterizations. The result was...

Remember the one-season wonder Trust Me? Recently, star Eric McCormack spoke to the Av Club about the cancelled TNT series.The dramedy focused on the personal and professional struggles of two ad men, copywriter Connor (Tom Cavanagh) and creative director Mason McGuire (McCormack). The cast also included Monica Potter, Sarah Clarke, Mike Damus, Geoffrey Arend, Griffin Dunne, Greg Ellis, and Kathleen Rose Perkins. The show ended in 2009 after only 13 episodes.Read More…...

The Lion Guard is a somewhat surprisingly good show airing on Disney Junior, and the story of Kion and his friends continues with a new DVD release The Lion Guard: Unleash the Power.

The release is the first collection of episodes available on DVD, and it’s not only a good selection because these are episodes that focus on the individual members of the Guard, but because these are some of the series’ most rewatchable efforts.

The show is not just a fun adventure for kids, but the series takes on a broad range within its episodic content, tackling some tricky issues, without actually decoding its own efforts and bogging down in overt explanation.

For example, the episode Fuli’s New Family spans a variety of issues, but chief among them is an examination of the idea that just because doing something seems objectively “right,” or, “how friends act,...

Title: Forsaken Momentum Pictures Director: Jon Cassar Writer: Brad Mirman Cast: Kiefer Sutherland, Donald Sutherland, Brian Cox, Michael Wincott, Aaron Poole, Demi Moore, Greg Ellis Running Time: 90 min Rated: R (Violence & Language) In Theaters And Available On VOD: February 19, 2016 In 1872, Fowler Wyoming’s bad boy John Henry Clayton (Keifer Sutherland, 24) returns home after retiring from gunfighting. When he makes it home to his father Reverend Clayton (Donald Sutherland, The Hunger Games franchise), he learns of all the events he missed while he was away.

The post Forsaken Movie Review appeared first on Shockya.com.

Going into Forsaken with the intent to enjoy yourself is quite easy: with likable real-life father/son pair Kiefer Sutherland and Donald Sutherland playing on-screen family, all set amidst the backdrop of a post-Civil War small western town, the potential for an emotionally-fueled slice of western escapism is palpable. And it should go without saying that the familial chemistry shared between the two leads is Forsaken‘s biggest draw.

They’re easy to watch, the setting is lush (while occasionally incongruous in a studio backlot kind-of-way), and Kiefer has the angsty gunslinger bit nailed down, but Forsaken‘s mind-numbing story derails the movie of all momentum. Its bad guys are bland (save one), its moralistic preachiness is off-putting, and its unadorned direction repeatedly robs potentially captivating scenes of any emotional relevance.

The Sutherlands occasionally manage to cut through that, but it’s far too rare. Here Sutherland the Senior plays William Clayton,...

After an epic year for westerns, including Bone Tomahawk, Slow West, The Hateful Eight and even Jauja and The Revenant to an extent, we’ll get a few more this year. Following Aferim! and Jane Got a Gun this month, Forsaken will arrive in February, and today brings the first trailer.

Led by both Kiefer Sutherland and Donald Sutherland, the film follows the former as a retired gunslinger who returns to his hometown in order to the mend the relationship with his estranged father — you can guess who — but they get involved with protecting the area. Coming from longtime 24 producer and director Jon Cassar, we didn’t hear much about it when it premiered at Tiff last year, but hopefully it’s a sleeper surprise this spring.

Also starring Brian Cox, Michael Wincott, Aaron Poole, Demi Moore, and Greg Ellis, check out the trailer and poster below.

This will be the first film in which both father and son have starred together.  Kiefer Sutherland plays John Henry Clayton, a gunslinger who heads back to Wyoming in order to reconnect with his preacher father, played by Donald Sutherland. However, when bandits terrorize local ranchers and force them to sell their land to the railroad companies, John Henry decides to take a stand, despite the protests of his father. "Forsaken" also stars Brian Cox, Greg Ellis, Michael Wincott and Aaron Poole. The film is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 16.

'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl': Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow. 'Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl' review: Mostly an enjoyable romp (Oscar Movie Series) Pirate movies were a Hollywood staple for about three decades, from the mid-'20s (The Sea Hawk, The Black Pirate) to the mid-to-late '50s (Moonfleet, The Buccaneer), when the genre, by then mostly relegated to B films, began to die down. Sporadic resurrections in the '80s and '90s turned out to be critical and commercial bombs (Pirates, Cutthroat Island), something that didn't bode well for the Walt Disney Company's $140 million-budgeted film "adaptation" of one of their theme-park rides. But Neptune's mood has apparently improved with the arrival of the new century.

As the Riddler might ask: When is a Batman movie not a Batman movie? Answer: When it stars the Suicide Squad!

The popular team of DC Comics supervillains unleashes its special brand of (in)justice in Batman: Assault on Arkham, the latest DC Universe original movie from Warner Bros Animation, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. Government operative Amanda Waller (voiced by Cch Pounder) assembles a dirty half-dozen — master hit man Deadshot (Neal McDonagh), ice queen Killer Frost (Jennifer Hale), Australian rogue Captain Boomerang (Greg Ellis), bloodthirsty King Shark (John Dimaggio), vigilante assassin Black Spider (Giancarlo Esposito) and criminally insane Harley Quinn (Hynden Walch) — to break into the world's scariest asylum and retrieve a flash drive stolen by the Riddler (Matthew Gray Gubler).

Gotham is in great danger when the government assembles a group of villains — code named the Suicide Squad — and forces them to break into Arkham Asylum to retrieve top secret information stolen by the Riddler. Things take a turn for the worse when one of the Squad members (Harley Quinn) frees the Joker, who is intent on blowing up Arkham Asylum and Gotham City. Batman must use his super hero wits and strength to thwart the wicked plans of the Joker and the Suicide Squad. Kevin Conroy voices Batman, and joins forces with several Hollywood greats to bring the legendary characters to life. Adding to the celebrity-laden cast is Neal McDonough as Deadshot, Troy Bake as Joker, Matthew Gray Gubler as Riddler, Cch Pounder as Amanda Waller, Greg Ellis as Captain Boomerang, and Giancarlo Esposito as Black Spider. Batman: Assault on Arkham is available now digitally and will debut on...

Based on a video game, Batman: Arkham, which I do not play, I came into Batman: Assault on Arkham, without any particular predisposition. As the first editor of the Suicide Squad, I was intrigued to see how they would operate. As I feared, screenwriter Heath Corson totally misused the team in this violent, pointless direct-to-animated mess which is unleashed on Tuesday.

Amanda Waller (Cch Pounder) played within the gray areas of the DC Universe, picking damaged heroes and villains, as needed for missions. She made sure there was a field leader to keep them in line, and offered the heroes something they wanted and the villains a chance at clearing their records. Here, she collects a motley assortment of villains without a real rationale for each, putting them together for a mission that makes little sense. The silly MacGuffin here is that the Riddler (Matthew Gray Gubler) has stolen...

Stephen Fry and Kiefer Sutherland will reunite in a new one-off drama for Sky Arts.

The duo, who recently appeared together in 24: Live Another Day, have been confirmed for Playhouse Presents...Marked.

Marked sees Sutherland's debt-ridden character James agree to perform a hit for his neighbour in order to make some money.

The one-off episode will be written and directed by Greg Ellis, with Fry also serving as executive producer alongside Gina Carter and Jo McClellan.

Stephen Fry recently made a guest appearance in Monty Python Live. He will also return to narrate LittleBigPlanet 3 later this year.

Kiefer Sutherland, meanwhile, will next be seen opposite his father Donald in upcoming western Forsaken.

Celebrated filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani today, in one of his fewer appearances at a filmi event, launched the music of Girish Malik’s highly anticipated film ‘Jal’. While Saga Music has been signed on as the films music partner, it will be digitally distributed by sister concern Unisys InfoSolutions.

Murakami also discusses how the show seeks to keep the new villains from looking like carbon copies of Batman's more traditional rogue's gallery, i.e. keeping Cluemaster from being a poor man's Riddler or Magpie from being a Poison Ivy knockoff.

This upcoming Sunday, Jun 30th, Showtime's 'Dexter' returns for its 8th and final season! And one of the things I’ve always loved about the show is the time it takes to set up its key story threads for the entire season; meaning it usually takes a good 3-4 episodes before I get a feel for the overall direction they’re heading in. And with that, there are often interested side stories that seem prominent at first but then never pan out. Now, I’m sure there are plenty of plot threads you’re all wondering about – whatever happened to Lumen? Is Jordan Chase presumed dead, or in hiding? Whatever happened to that hottie Masuka started dating while setting up Dexter’s bachelor party? Inquiring minds want to know. But for right now, here are 6 of my personal curiosities. With the final season fast approaching, might some of...

Fox's Touch won't be getting a third season run as the show's now been canceled. The show from Heroes creator Tim Kring which added Lukas Haas and Maria Bello, for a boost, averaged 2.7 million viewers in the 18-49 year-old demograhic. Other cast names include David Mazouz, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Saxon Sharbino are Greg Ellis. Touch is executive-produced by Carol Barbee, Francis Lawrence, Katherine Pope, Suzan Bymel, Peter Chernin, Kring and Sutherland.

The coolest thing about this cast list is that it's populated by veteran voice actors and not simply sprinkled liberally with television and film actors putting in a couple of hours in the booth.

I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting when I popped Ape Escape into my DVD player. My frame of reference of the series was the original Ape Escape on PS1; the pioneer software for Sony's dual-stick Dualshock controller; a sweet soundtrack filled with poppy drum 'n' bass, and more ridiculous monkeys than you could count - trying their hardest to put their Iq-giving 'Pipo Helmets' to good use.

Plot-wise, the Ape Escape DVD provides the last of those three. A series of two-to-three minute episodes that largely focus on Specter - the villain of the Ape Escape series. He's an evil ape granted a genius intelligence though an experimental helmet. With his army of fellow apes (given helmets of their own), he intends to take over the world... but never manages to succeed.

At the very least, I expected an animation of the Ape Escape series to be an anime.

Well-known international musicians such as percussionists Bickram Ghosh and Greg Ellis from the USA, Afghan Ghazal singer Haris Khan, progressive Bangladeshi rock musician Mac Haque, mandolin player Snehasish Mozumder and his band Som from New York, Sarod exponent Pandit Buddhadev Dasgupta, jazz musician.

When "Touch" returns to Fox this October, it will be a very different show than when it premiered last spring, with three actors joining the revamped cast.   Fox announced on Friday (August 3) that Lukas Haas and Saxon Sharbino are joining the "Touch" cast as regulars, while Greg Ellis has booked a recurring role.    In Season 2, "Touch" will change coasts, with Martin (Kiefer Sutherland) and Jake (David Mazouz) fleeing to Los Angeles and meeting Lucy (Maria Bello), a mother seeking her missing daughter, who may have gifts similar to those that got Jake in trouble.    Since Sharbino...

Kiefer Sutherland's drama "Touch" has added some new faces for Season 2. Lukas Haas ("Inception," "Witness") has been cast as Aster Corps genius Calvin Norburg, whose path crosses with Martin and Jake when they are on the run in Los Angeles.

Also in Los Angeles, the father and son pair meet Lucy Robbins (Maria Bello), a distraught mother looking for her equally gifted daughter Amelia, played by newcomer Saxon Sharbino. Greg Ellis ("24") has also been added in a recurring role as Trevor Wilcox, a journalist and old friend of Martin's.

An all-new bonus episode of "Touch" will air Friday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. Et/Pt on Fox, where Martin's car mysteriously breaks down in the town where he first became a reporter. Season 2 of "Touch" will officially start Friday, Oct. 26 at 8 p.m. Et/Pt, leading into the final season premiere of "Fringe."...

Lukas Haas (Inception) and Saxon Sharbino have joined Fox’s drama series Touch as new regulars as the series reboots with moving the action (and leading duo Martin, Kiefer Sutherland, and his son Jake, David Mazouz) from New York to Los Angeles. In the first season finale, Martin and Jake met Lucy (Maria Bello), a distraught mother whose gifted daughter (Sharbino) is missing. The casting keeps 13-year-old Sharbino at Fox where she was discovered last pilot season when she beat out a score of young actresses to land the lead in the Karyn Usher pilot. Despite the fact that the pilot didn’t make it to series, Fox brass loved Sharbino’s performance. Haas will play a genius working for the mysterious Aster Corps that is after Jake. Joining Touch as a recurring is Greg Ellis (24), playing a journalist and an old friend of Martin’s.

Kiefer Sutherland and Maria Bello are going on the hunt together. When the second season of Fox's Touch returns, Martin (Sutherland) will work with Lucy (Bello) as the pair -- with Jake (David Mazouz) -- search to find Amelia, Lucy's missing and especially gifted daughter. Saxon Sharbino, who starred in Fox's untitled Karyn Usher pilot earlier this year, has joined the cast as a series regular to play Amelia, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively. In addition, Days of Our Lives alum Greg Ellis has also boarded the second-year drama from Heroes' Tim Kring for a multiple-episode arc playing Trevor

Greg Ellis hopes his character Groves in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie series is able to make a turnaround in the possible upcoming “Pirates” films. “I’ve always wanted to be a pirate,” he said. “I’m [always asking] Terry [Terry Rossio, co-writer of the 'Pirates' series] to make Groves a pirate…Whenever Groves sees Jack Sparrow get away, he looks with longing.
