Nicolas Cage’s prolific year began with his performance in the action thriller “The Trust,” continued with a role in Oliver Stone’s “Snowden,” and starring roles in Paul Schrader’s “Dog Eat Dog” and Larry Charles’ “Army of One.” Now, he returns with yet another film this year, “USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage,” about the Portland-class cruiser that delivered parts of the atomic bomb used to end WWII. Cage stars Captain Charles McVay as the ship is torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine and now must survive in shark-infested waters with hundreds of other crewmen. The film co-stars Tom Sizemore (“Saving Private Ryan”), Thomas Jane (“Hung”), Matt Lanter (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) and James Remar (“Sex and the City”). Watch an exclusive clip from the film below.

Paul Schrader has made no secret of his frustrations about interference from the studios or moneymen that fund his films, going so far as to openly protest the release of 2014’s “The Dying of the Light” with a Facebook post in which he declared that the project “Was taken away from me, reedited, scored, and mixed without my input.” Of course, that was hardly Schrader’s first rodeo. A pugnacious poet-warrior whose screenwriting credits includes the likes of “Taxi Driver” and “The Last Temptation of Christ” (and whose occasionally transcendent directorial efforts make those movies look commercial by comparison), he’s never been a big fan of playing things safe. With the bawdy and intoxicatingly batshit “Dog Eat Dog,” Schrader is off the leash once and for all.
And, um, he doesn’t waste any time making that clear. “Dog Eat Dog,” which might be most coherently interpreted as a...

NCIS, Season 10, Episode 18: “Seek”
Written by Scott Williams
Directed by Michael Weatherly
Airs Tuesdays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
There is no doubt that Michael Weatherly is a showman. Along with acting, singing, and the occasional comical impression, Weatherly is also proving to be a capable director, returning to the helm for the second time, having directed the eighth season episode, “One Last Score”. Once again, Weatherly brings the same energy usually seen onscreen with him behind the camera.
The opening and closing scenes with Dex, a bomb-sniffing labrador, and his handler provide powerful bookend moments, depicting the loyalty of service dogs to their working partners and their families, shown here as one and the same. The handler’s death is made all the more devastating through witness statements that express his love and respect for the dog in his charge. The episode is a testament to the importance...

Fast And Furious 5 *** 1/2
Stars: Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson | Written by Chris Morgan, Gary Scott Thompson | Directed by Justin Lin
10 years on from the original The Fast And The Furious which was every petrol head’s wet dream (half-naked chicks for the boys; meathead Vin Diesel and blue-eyed Paul Walker for the ladies; fast cars tearing up more tarmac than an M25 maintenance crew for everyone), the fifth instalment rolls on to our screens. It’s a ludicrous blend of improbable action sequences and paper thin plot but makes for one hell of a ride.
The plot (as far as there is one) sees ex-cop turned car thief Brian (Walker) and his girlfriend Mia (Brewster) breaking her brother Dominic (perennial no-neck Vin Diesel) out of prison. Suitably tooled up with a fleet of fast cars, they flee to Rio where they’re given the opportunity to go...

As if he hadn't already left an indelible mark on NCIS in seven-plus seasons, Michael Weatherly directed a compelling, unique and thoroughly entertaining episode Tuesday.
Michael deserves praise all around, because while "One Last Score" was definitely unusual as NCIS episodes go, it was still terrific, well-acted and perfectly paced.
A lighter tone was indicative of Weatherly as the shot-caller and hit the mark nicely. Even though there were some corpses, there wasn't a deadly serious moment.
That's not to suggest the plot wasn't typically detailed and awfully complex at times. What looked like a standard murder of an NCIS employee became a lot more.
Financier Leona Phelps, a hybrid of Bernie Madoff and Martha Stewart (ankle monitor and all), was accused of defrauding billions from federal employees and thieves alike.
Our original victim was part of a crew trying to find out where she stashed it. Rather than a standard murder investigation,...

NCIS star Michael Weatherly knows how fortunate he is to be taking his first turn behind the camera on TV’s No. 1 drama, with a supportive family-like cast he’s worked with for eight seasons and a crew he’s now able to appreciate in a whole new light. “I’ve been spoiled and forever ruined for any other experiences,” he says. In tonight’s episode “One Last Score” (CBS, 8 p.m. Et), NCIS discovers that one of its former investigative assistants found dead was selling details for how to rob a warehouse full of valuable possessions (including Steve McQueen...

NCIS star Michael Weatherly takes viewers into the set of the CBS hit in a new clip promoting his directorial debut tomorrow night. What can we expect?
Probably another terrific episode of NCIS. Very few of the 170+ installments to date have been mediocre, so that's a safe bet. But it also leaves Michael nervous.
Taking the reins at the show's peak popularity, not to mention struggling with the challenges of acting and directing simultaneously, was a formidable challenge.
Still, he clearly reveled in the creative process, as Tony and as Michael. Here's a fun behind-the-scenes look at the March 1 episode, "One Last Score" ...

While last night's NCIS was not one of the show's finest, it was still pretty fun. McGee found an actual love interest and Gibbs open fire on a computer. How can we complain?
Next week's episode, "One Last Score," involves a former NCIS investigative assistant brutally killed for selling details for how to rob a warehouse full of valuable possessions.
Sarah Jane Morris comes on board as a new agent, and Michael Weatherly (Tony) makes his directorial debut. Take a look at the first promo for the March 1 episode here ...

Michael Weatherly is set to direct the March 1 episode of NCIS.
"One Last Score" marks the 179th episode of the hit procedural, now in its eighth year on CBS, but the very first that a member of the NCIS cast has stepped in to direct.
"Believe me, I knocked on the door a long time," Weatherly says. "Mark Harmon always says nobody here wants anybody else's job. Here I am, trying to do somebody else's job."
As a first-time director, Weatherly says his biggest challenge came as an actor. "By the end of this episode, I felt Dinozzo had significantly altered," he tells TV Guide.
"He awakens from a four-year sleep. I was glad to see him back! In this episode and the next, he's in a Sean Connery place - pretty deadly serious with a twinkle in his eye."
That may be provided by former Brothers & Sisters star Sarah Jane Morris.

Fans of CBS’ NCIS (Tuesdays at 8/7c) and its perennially teased Tony/Ziva coupling may want to look away, because TVLine has an exclusive first look at the latest wrench in the works. And this wrench happens to blonde and beautiful.
Exclusive: NCIS Readies Tony-centric Origin Episode
As we previously reported, Brothers & Sisters alum Sarah Jane Morris is joining TV’s most watched scripted program in the recurring role of E.J. Barrett, a Special Agent who, interestingly, took a job that years ago was offered to Tony by Director Jenny Shepard (R.I.P.), to head up an NCIS team in Europe.
