I’m seeing a pattern forming… This weekend Ethan Hawke will be seen playing a father who has to go to extreme measures to keep his family safe in The Purge. And then in his next film, Getaway, Hawke plays a husband who has to go to extreme measures to keep his wife from being murdered.

The film also features Selena Gomez, Jon Voight, Rebecca Budig, and Bruce Payne.

The Borgias will air its final episode on June 16, 2013 at 10pm on Showtime. Although initially planned for four seasons, the series will end at the conclusion of season three, which has been averaging 2.4 million viewers. And over its three-season run, the show’s earned 10 Emmy nominations.
Created by Neil Jordan (Interview with the Vampire, The Crying Game), The Borgias explores one of the most intriguing families in history. Jeremy Irons stars as Pope Alexander VI, the leader of the Borgia family, with François Arnaud, Holliday Grainger, Joanne Whalley, Lotte Verbeek, Sean Harris, Thure Lindhart, Gina McKee, Peter Sullivan, Julian Bleach, and Colm Feore in supporting roles.
“It has been an honor to work with the great Neil Jordan and the incomparable Jeremy Irons on The Borgias,” stated David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc, announcing the finale of the series. “Neil has written nearly every episode of this series himself. His extraordinary storytelling combined with Jeremy’s fascinating portrayal of the infamous Pope Alexander VI, has made for truly outstanding television that will live on. I look forward to future collaborations.”
“I never thought I would make a cable series and have enjoyed every minute of it,” added series creator and executive producer Jordan. “For a variety of reasons we won’t be doing a fourth season, but, ‘The Prince’ [the final episode], when I wrote it and shot it, did seem like the end of a journey for the family. Whatever bonded them as a family dies in this episode, and the center of the drama for me was always the family. I want to thank Showtime and David Nevins for their unstinting support over the last three years, and look forward to working with them in the future.”
Details on The Borgias Final Episode:
Filmed entirely on location in Budapest, the series’ final episode finds Alexander (Irons) and Cesare (Arnaud) reconciled at last and now ready to take their first step towards their ultimate goal: to create a hereditary kingdom across the heart of Italy. Cesare marches his fearsome army to lay siege to enemy Catherina Sforza’s (Gina McKee) castle at Forli. Later, back in Rome, Cesare is embroiled in a brutal scuffle with Lucrezia’s (Grainger) husband Alfonso, who as a result, is now dying a slow and painful death over the subsequent days. Devastated, Lucrezia turns to her potions to end his life painlessly, with Cesare vowing that now she will be his for good.
Elijah Wood still has such an innocent-looking face that it’s tough to picture him playing a crazy killer. However, that’s exactly what you’re going to have to do if you check out his new film, IFC’s Maniac. Wood plays a twisted serial killer in this creepy horror film coming to theaters and VOD on June 21, 2013.
The Plot:
Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank (Elijah Wood) is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna (Nora Arnezeder) appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill.
A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in present-day L.A., Franck Khalfoun’s Maniac, produced by Alexandre Aja and composed by Rob of the band “Phoenix”, is a re-boot of the William Lustig cult film considered by many to be the most suspensseful slasher movie ever made – an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and projoundly horrific trip into the downward spiralling nightmare of a killer and his victims.

16 tattoo artists will be competing on season three of Spike TV’s Ink Master premiering on July 16, 2013 at 10pm. Dave Navarro (Jane’s Addiction) and tattoo artists Chris Nunez (Miami Ink) and Oliver Peck (Elm Street Tattoo) return as judges, and in a new twist this season, the Human Canvases will also have a say in who is eliminated from the competition.
The winner of Ink Master will receive a $100,000 grand prize, an editorial feature in Inked, and the title of ‘Ink Master.’
Details on Ink Master:
Each episode puts the artist through their paces, competing in various tattoo challenges that are not only designed to test the artists’ technical skills, but also their on-the-spot creativity, where they must create and execute an original tattoo by command on a ‘Human Canvas.’ Artists will be asked to tattoo in a number of distinct styles, including black and gray, realism, pin-up, cover-up and Asian, among others. The masterpieces these artists create will last forever, but so will their mistakes.
In the season opener the artists are literally put behind bars the moment they arrive when they must create a prison-style, single-needle fine line tattoo on actual convict Canvases in a prison cell. The artists are further challenged during the Elimination Tattoo to perform a cover-up tattoo on their human ex-con, looking for redemption and a new life “on the outside.”

A scene from Insidious: Chapter 2 - Photo Courtesy of FilmDistrictI’m not a wimp when it comes to horror movies, but I admit Insidious freaked me out. Now director James Wan and writer Leigh Whannell reunite with Insidious stars Patrick Wilson, Rose Byrne, Lin Shaye, Barbara Hershey, and Ty Simpkins for Insidious: Chapter 2 which promises to be just as freaky.
Insidious: Chapter 2 opens in theaters on Friday, September 13, 2013.
The Plot:
Insidious: Chapter 2 follows the haunted Lambert family as they seek to uncover the mysterious childhood secret that has left them dangerously connected to the spirit world.
Per BBC America: “The 90-minute drama follows their private and public relationship played out against their ill-fated appearance in a 1983 revival of Noel Coward’s stage play, Private Lives. Burton and Taylor is one of the most fascinating, glamorous and tempestuous relationships of the 20th century – the two most famous movie stars of their day who played out every high and low of their love affairs, multiple marriages and divorces right in the public eye.”
However it turns out, it has to be better than Lindsay Lohan’s performance as Elizabeth Taylor in Liz & Dick, right?
