In THE BASTARD EXECUTIONER, now in its first season on FX Network Tuesdays at 10 PM, Lee Jones plays Wilkin Brattle.

Jones, an Australian actor, traveled halfway round the world for BASTARD EXECUTIONER, created by Kurt Sutter (SONS OF ANARCHY). In a conversation during FX Network’s portion of the Television Critics Association press tour, Jones talks about […]Read On »

Season 2 of FX’s FARGO, Mondays at 10 PM, is not entirely unconnected to Season 1. In the series created by Noah Hawley, which takes its title and tone but no characters from the Coen Brothers’ 1996 feature, bad things just keep happening in Sioux Falls, North Dakota, and Luverne, Minnesota. In Season 2, it’s 1979, and State Police officer Lou Solverson (played by Patrick Wilson; the older version of the character was played by Keith Carradine in Season 1) is looking into a mystifying incident that involves both local and out-of-state criminals. One of the town’s bad men is […]Read On »

First, it was Icon night where the duos danced tributary dances to their idols. Then, whomever scored the highest of those dances won three points and immunity from not only elimination but from a dance off in the show’s second hour. Nick Carter & Sharna Burgess slammed the competition getting the only perfect score of the night, essentially giving them a […]Read On »

Miller Director: Bradford May Distributor: Skinfly Entertainment Release Date (theatrical): October 30, 2015 Barring the cell phones and the fact that mixed martial arts wasn’t big in the West yet, STREET could easily be mistaken for one of those ‘70s indie action flicks that turn up on El Rey Network. You know the kind – good-hearted, hard-working kid with a talent for fighting is caught between a hardscrabble but upright lifestyle and something that is more dangerous […]Read On »
