With the likes of "Banshee" and especially "The Knick" in its repertoire, Cinemax's slate of original dramas has grown increasingly impressive over the last few years. The premium-cable channel hopes to build on that with "Outcast," a new exorcism series from "The Walking Dead's" Robert Kirkman. The series premiere doesn't officially air for nearly two weeks, but is now available to stream for free. Read More: SXSW 2016: Why 'Outcast' Director Adam Wingard Turned to Television to Create a New Exorcism Story The show stars Patrick Fugit ("Almost Famous") as Kyle Barnes, a man frequently beset by demonic possession who isolates himself from his loved ones lest he bring harm to them as well. Aided by an evangelist preacher who believes him to be a soldier in God's army, Kyle decides to fight back against the forces taking over his body. Read More: 'The Woods'...

Before we start, I have to say that I looooooove me a Christmas horror movie. From Gremlins to Silent Night, Deadly Night to Christmas Evil to Black Christmas to Jaws: The Revenge, I can't get enough of a blood-spattered yuletide. (The only Christmas movie too scary for me? Christmas With the Kranks. [Shudder])
Did American Horror Story: Asylum deliver an advent calendar-worthy Christmas episode? Let's check our list (twice) and find out...
We begin outside a classic small-town department store in the Christmas Story era. But instead of a Red Ranger power bb rifle, Sugar Motta the little boy heading toward the store with his mom wants a coonskin cap. His mom makes him put some money in the bucket of a bell-ringing charity Santa outside the store, and the Santa reassures the kid that all his capitalist holiday-entitlement dreams will surely come true. The store closes up and the lady drags her kid elsewhere,...

Fresh from his turns in Captain America and The Devil's Double, Dominic Cooper is getting bigger roles. One is looking like the lead part in Motor City, the revenge thriller that Joel Silver is producing and Albert Hughes will direct. The film is about "a felon who, after being released from prison, begins tracking down the men who framed him." Hughes bounced to this after leaving Akira; Chad St. John wrote the script. [Variety [1]] After the break, new actors for Django Unchained, Paradise Lost and Neighborhood Watch. Quentin Tarantino will repeat his trick of bringing semi-forgotten actors back into the public eye in his new film, Django Unchained. Tarantino has tapped Dennis Christopher, star of the '79 film Breaking Away and a player in Chariots of Fire, to play Leo Moguy, attorney to villain Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). As I recall, there are one or two big dialogue sequences in which...

Mankind faces extermination and only a renegade archangel can save us. Settle down with a six-pack for the perfect night in
"The last time God lost faith in man he sent a flood. This time he's sent..." Paul Bettany with a machine gun! Yes folks, it's angels-with-Uzis time in Legion as the four horsemen of the apocalypse are upstaged by shrieking hordes of divinely possessed madmen. Having once again exhausted the patience of the Almighty, mankind faces extermination by God's army, with only a gun-toting renegade archangel Michael and the customers of a remote desert diner standing between us and the gates of Hell. And if that doesn't sound like the perfect recipe for an evening in with a curry and a six-pack, then there's no pleasing you!
Infinitely more fun than the generically similar End of Days (Arnie v the Devil) and better looking than Constantine (give me Bettany...

Since there's always a first time for everything, I'm going to review before your eyes a documentary. Honestly, Jesus Camp has always given me the feeling that it could have had much more depth. Nonetheless, despite its flaws, the film can be seen as a good exploration of the American evangelical movement provided that you have a good knowledge of American history and laws.
Shot during George W. Bush's second presidential term, Jesus Camp is centred on a group of born-again children. They attend to Pastor Becky Fischer's "Kids on Fire Summer Camp" where they're indoctrinated taught to become dedicated Christian "soldiers in God's army". Moreover, these children are expected to be the adults of tomorrow who will play an active role in American political life.
The first thing many might like about Jesus Camp is the fact that directors Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing don't judge evangelical Christians.

LONDON -- ContentFilm chairman Alton Irby said on Friday that the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) listed film financier, sales, distribution and production company is in advanced negotiations to acquire New York- and Los Angeles-based First Look Media. The acquisition of First Look will mark ContentFilm's first major acquisition, under its new management structure run by joint chief executives John Schmidt and Ed Pressman, since its arrival on AIM in March this year here via the acquisition of Winchester Entertainment. Through the acquisition, ContentFilm would access entry into the North American theatrical, video and DVD distribution sector and also swallow up First Look's 350-strong library of movie titles, which includes Waking Ned Devine, Antonia's Line, God's Army and Titus.
