Hawkeye’S Trial Is Off The Marks, Man

When is a murder not a murder? Give up? What say we find out.

It all started with Ulysses Cain. You remember Ulysses Cain, don’t you? Inhuman who can predict the future and caused the whole Civil War II imbroglio when Captain Marvel and Iron Man disagreed over how he should be used. Lord knows I remember him. In Civil War II #2, Ulysses predicted that Bruce Banner would become the Hulk again and go on a murderous rampage.

So in Civil War II #3, Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and more costumed heroes than you can shake a double-page spread at confronted Dr. Banner in his secret lab. You can probably guess from the fact that was only part three of a nine-part story, the confrontation didn’t go as planned.

While all the heroes except one were talking to Bruce outside his secret lab,...

Tonight’s Smash resolved a cliffhanger that no one — especially not optimistic young playwright Kyle Bishop — saw coming.

The car that came bearing down on Kyle at the end of last Saturday’s episode ultimately claimed his life, we learned in “The Phenomenon,” an hour in which his friends and colleagues mourned his loss and flashed back to key moments in their relationships with him.

Someone has to die on a boat when "Revenge" returns. The episode is coming in which we learn whose arm lay in the wreckage of the "Amanda." Based on photos from the show's January return, things are heading into those dangerous waters.

The first episode back (airing on Sunday, Jan. 6 at 9pm) is called "Power." But, if you go by the photos, "Darkness" or "Danger" might have been more appropriate.

In "Power," Declan (Connor Paolo) discovers something that may threaten the future of the Porters' bar. That something could very well be the Ryan brothers (Jr Bourne and Michael Trucco):

Whatever the issue is, it looks like Declan drags Charlotte (Christa Allen) into his mess:

Meanwhile, Emily (Emily VanCamp) looks to take down her next target -- possibly and surprisingly in collaboration with Victoria (Madeleine Stowe). This scheme brings about a violent run-in with Aiden (Barry Sloane):

At the fest's Friday night gala, Jim Thebaut will receive the...

At a time when gang violence is on the rise in many U.S. cities, a new movie is being released called "Saving God" that deals with the gang issue. The movie is a heart-felt tale of the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Andre van Heerden, the producer of "Saving God," told Celebrity News Service that when people see the movie they will walk away with the knowledge that "no one is beyond redemption." He added, "Regardless of where you are in your life now, or in the past, there is a way to turn around."

Van Heerden said the script was written by Michael Jackson (not the musician) and many of the events in the movie come from Jackson's own background. "There are two twists in the movie that no one sees coming. I haven't met anyone who hasn't cried at the ending," Van Heerden said.

The movie stars Ving Rhames,...
