It feels like it might be time to ditch Kwan Ha and Soren, even though it’s not likely to happen. While the duo did have something to offer in the beginning, at this time it would appear that their story is clunking along while the story of Master Chief, the Spartans, and the Unsc and their battle against the Covenant are far more interesting, as it should be. While the last couple of episodes went into a great deal of exposition with little action compared to the first episode, Reckoning shifted into another gear that saw the Unsc being put

Dreyfuss is a former mobster resorting to violence in a film whose delightful score can’t save it from being a hot mess
The best thing about this crime melodrama is the score, credited to composers Shane Endsley, Ben Wendel and Nate Wood (all part of a jazz group called Kneebody); it is a weird, lilting horn-led underlay to the action, full of keening melodies with an urban, smoky nightclub vibe. It’s a delight – but seems to have almost no relation to the action we see on screen. You might almost imagine that the group’s work just happened to be what was playing in the editing suite when the film was being cut together and a quick deal was done to add class to what is a deeply indifferent, muddled drama.
Written and directed, somewhat ineptly if we are being honest, by Adam Lipsius, The Last Job tells...

Worse things have happened to Oscar winners, but it’s still unfortunate to see both Richard Dreyfuss and Mira Sorvino flailing in the inept muddle of “Crime Story.” Playing a semi-estranged father and daughter thrown into crisis mode over a few hours’ course following a home robbery, the stars are not exactly at their best here.
But then the odds are sharply stacked against them, as writer-director Adam Lipsius’ film has the feel of an enterprise whose script wasn’t quite ready for “action!”: Half the dialogue sounds haplessly improvised, with sporadic voiceover narration coming off as an equally forlorn attempt to belatedly cohere a half-baked whole. Such things do not a taut crime thriller make, and “Story” (previously promoted as both “”The Last Job” and “Reckoning”) also fails as a rather maudlin dysfunctional-family drama, among other things. Saban Films is opening the feature in 10 U.S. cities this Friday,...

Sky News has been slapped on the wrist for broadcasting a repeat of an expletive-filled documentary about Harvey Weinstein during the middle of the day.
The Comcast-owned broadcaster aired hour-long doc Weinstein: Hollywood’s Reckoning, which tells the story of the disgraced movie mogul’s downfall due to a raft of sexual abuse allegations, at 3pm in the afternoon. The problem, however, was that some of the language in the doc, which originally aired in a primetime slot on its sister channel Sky Atlantic, was not fit for a daytime audience.
The offending comment was from an ex-employee of the Weinstein Company, who commented, “I said: ‘you know what? I quit, and your brother is a fxxking pig’”.
Regulator Ofcom received a complaint about the offensive language and found the network in breach of Rule 1.14, which states that “offensive language must not be broadcast before the watershed unless it...

Exclusive: Hours after finding herself the subject of a second unflattering article in The Hollywood Reporter, actress Charlotte Kirk has broken her silence. The followup was about her pressuring Avi Lerner and others to give her a role in the Hellboy revamp. She asked Deadline to give her side of the story, through a statement.
It isn’t a mystery to Kirk why she continues to be a THR fixation: she is a fulcrum to keep the pressure on Warner Bros Entertainment chairman Kevin Tsujihara as WarnerMedia engages in another investigation in a story that played out years ago, when the married WB chief engaged in a relationship with Kirk that veered into a widely leaked set of text messages in which she applied pressure to get auditions for studio films. But she wanted to remind that she is still getting established,...

In an effort to produce quality shows on a leaner budget, Sony Pictures Television is launching a yet-to-be-named boutique TV production label inspired by independent film, Variety has learned exclusively.
Leading the team as head of creative is Marie Jacobson, who was most recently executive vice president of programming and production for the company’s networks group. She will report to Sony Pictures TV Studios president Jeff Frost.
“Think of it as: how do we do independent television?” Sony Pictures Television chairman Mike Hopkins told Variety in an in-depth interview about the new direction of the studio that included details about the new production unit. “The ethos of it is [that] we’re going to create new TV shows that are high quality but we’re not going to make them the same way we make every other show around here.”
