'Game Of Thrones' Recap: Episode 2, 'The Kingsroad'

Episode Title: "The Kingsroad"

Written By: David Benioff and D.B. Weiss

Story: Picking up right where episode one left off, the royal court readies to depart from Winterfell and head to King's Landing with Ned Stark (Sean Bean) as the Hand of the King. But no one, especially not Queen Cersei (Lena Headey) and her twin brother Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), are happy to leave the comatose Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) behind before he wakes up and shares why he "fell" out of a high tower. With his mother Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) watching over him at all times, Ned heads south and his bastard son Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) heads north to dedicate himself to the Night's Watch at the Wall.

Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clark) begins to adapt to Dothraki culture instead of just being a victim to her husband Khal Drogo's (Jason Momoa) brutish ways.»

Terrific Lizzy Caplan/T.J. Miller Short 'Successful Alcoholics' Now Available On DVD From Wholphin

Considering the volume of short films that are being made, and their necessity as calling cards for anyone who wants to work in the industry, it's frustrating that there's no real market for the form. You would think that the bitesize nature of the format would be perfect in the internet age, but outside of the few that make it on to iTunes, normally thanks to festival success or awards nominations, most filmmakers are reduced to lumping their baby on Vimeo and hoping it reaches the right pair of eyes to help them up the ladder. So we're glad that…»

George Lucas Sits Atop a Throne Built of 50 Scripts for 'Star Wars'

In 1977, George Lucas inadvertently changed the world. By unleashing "Star Wars" into theaters, the producer/director created a second universe into which millions of people all over the world have invested their time, money and lives.

With "The Clone Wars" animated series riding high into a fourth season, an imminent 3-D re-release of the entire saga starting in 2012 and new comics, novels and toys sneaking into stores everyday, "Star Wars" fever certainly isn't slowing down and it was only a matter of time before a new expansion of the series made its way into public eye. When Lucas recently appeared on G4 touting the new 3-D conversion process, he let it slip on a long-gestating rumor:

Yes, there will be a "Star Wars" TV Series. Yes, it's written. No, it's not coming anytime soon.

Lucas went on to explain in the interview that 50 hours of the TV show have been»

Jamie Campbell Bower Cast Opposite Lily Collins in The Mortal Instruments

Even though fans of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instrument series initially pushed for Alex Pettyfer as the lead in Scott Charles Stewart's adaptation -- going so far as to piece together homemade videos of the I Am Number Four star and Lily Collins, who had already been cast -- Screen Gems has given Jamie Campbell Bower the star-making role of Jace Wayland, dreamy Shadowhunter.»

'Rio' Flies And 'Water For Elephants' Thrives At The Weekend Box Office

From MTV Movies: The box office got a boost from kids over the holiday weekend as "Rio" held on to the top spot with moviegoers and the Easter-themed "Hop" crossed the $100 million mark, according to studio estimates. Overall ticket sales were up 39 percent from the same period last year. Strengthened by 3-D showings, the animated "Rio" earned $26.8 million for a two-week domestic total of $81.2 million.

Filmmaker Tyler Perry has released three movies around Easter, and this year's entry, "Madea's Big Happy Family," sat right in the middle of his scorecard, with a $25.7 million debut ("Meet the Browns" opened with $20.1 million in 2008; "Why Did I Get Married Too?" made $29.3 million last year) but suffered the lowest debut of any of the entries in his poorly reviewed "Madea" series. Still, that was good enough to take the #2 spot for the weekend.

Nintendo Announces Wii Successor for 2012; Will Unveil New Console at This Year’s E3

Over the past several weeks, there's been heavy speculation from gaming sites that Nintendo would unveil Wii 2 (not the official name) at this year's E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) for a 2012 release.  While Nintendo states that their policy is not to comment on speculation and rumor, they have now commented on speculation and rumor by announcing that the company will be unveiling the successor to the Wii at this year's E3 and the system is set to be released in 2012.  No further details are available, but the model at E3 will be playable.  Nintendo president Satoru Iwata tells Reuters, "We would like to propose a new approach to home video game consoles," which really doesn't mean anything, but Iwata said it definitely doesn't mean 3D since most folks don't own 3DTVs.Hit the jump for the press release as well as my thoughts on Wii 2.Back in 2006, I applauded Nintendo for»

Video Interview: Prom's Golden Couple, Kyle Bunbury And DeVaughn Nixon

At some proms everyone is in suspense to see who will be named Prom King and Queen as the night wraps up. Other times, the royalty are a forgone conclusion-- the most popular boy and girl school who always have these things locked up. That's the case at Brookside High in Disney's new film Prom, where not only are Jordan and Tyler the most popular, they're also the school's cutest couple. As with so many "perfect" couples though, Jordan and Tyler aren't exactly as happy as they might seem on the surface.Playing Jordan and Tyler in Prom are Kylie Bunbury and DeVaughn Nixon, whose acting careers are as different as you can imagine. As Kylie describes it, Prom is "my first anything"-- she's had no professional acting career until now. DeVaughn, on the other hand, started in the business as an infant. When I talked to them on»

New Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows – Part 2 Trailer Goes Online Wednesday

Warner Bros. will be releasing a new trailer for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 this Wednesday.  The trailer will premiere on ABC Family between 7-9pm (Est) during a showing of Happy Gilmore, and will likely arrive online soon thereafter.  We'll post the trailer as soon as it's online.So if you want to mark your calendars to see a trailer for a movie that you're going to see anyway, now you can.  Personally, I'm curious if there's anything Warner Bros. could put in a Harry Potter trailer that would make you not want to see the movie.  What would they have to show you to make you say, "Yep.  That turned me around.  I'll stay home and not see the final film in the series.  Bummer."?Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 opens in 3D on July 15th.»

I Finally Watched 'Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever'

Photo: Warner Bros.I was completely out of the loop when it came to Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, a film predominantly known at this point as the worst reviewed movie of the last decade by RottenTomatoes standards. So, when I decided I would follow in the footsteps of my previous look at Skyline and regularly take a look back at movies considered to be among the worst ever that I had not yet seen, there was no better place to start.

In short, yes, this is a bad film. Terrible in fact. Is it the worst? That's all relative to the discussion. Worst in what way? Plot? Characters? Execution? Entertainment? In all honesty, this is a film I would consider a perfect entry in a new age of grindhouse. All I could think of while watching the inexplicable amount of explosions, lack of story and silly predicaments was of Robert Rodriguez»

Lindsay’s Headed To The Coroner (For Her Community Service)

This is basically the plot of Lindsay Lohan‘s next movie, right? Franco, are you behind this? Don’t worry; our favorite jailbird isn’t dead. She’ll just wish she was when she has to trade in her high-waisted couture pants for some embalming-fluid-stained coveralls, ’cause Lindsay Lohan’s community service is at the coroner’s office! After the judge found Lindsay guilty of violating probation Friday, in addition to four months in jail she was sentenced to 120 hours of community service at the L.A. County Department of Coroner’s office, where she’ll no doubt be bored stiff…and our screenplay has it’s title.

“She’ll be doing basic janitorial work,” Coroner Assistant Chief Ed Winter says. “She won’t be handling any dead bodies but she’ll certainly see them.” Certainly! This isn’t the first time Lindsay has mingled with the recently departed; the»
