After a season in primetime on Sunday nights, HBO has returned High Maintenance to late nights on Friday nights where the ratings are likely to be lower. Should that be legal? Will High Maintenance be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned.

An HBO comedy TV series from married creators Katja Blichfeld and Ben Sinclair, High Maintenance stars Sinclair as a nameless Brooklyn cannabis deliveryman, known only as “The Guy.” Each episode features customers of “The Guy” and viewers get a different glimpse of Big Apple living. New and returning guest stars in the fourth season include Crystal Monee Hall, Heléne Yorke, Ken Leung, Julianna Luna Vasquez, Avery Monsen, Rob Morgan, Max Jenkins, Chris Roberti, Becca Blackwell, Chris McKinney, Birgit Huppuch, Ira Glass, Nick Kroll, Rebecca Hall, Larry Owens, and Calvin Leon Smith.

The trailer (which you can watch below) also promises that this season will get you into a particular groove, if the 1981 Dave Raynor jam “Leave Me Alone Tonight” that plays throughout as Ben Sinclair’s The Guy travels all around New York City to deliver colorful characters their weed. And he does so with a bike —having said farewell to the Rv from Season 3 — and a canine companion riding sidecar.

Also set to get you into the groove of this season is Ira Glass, who — alongside his team at NPR’s “This American Life” — guest stars as himself. In addition to Glass, this season of “High Maintenance” will see new guest stars in the form of Nick Kroll, Rebecca Hall, Larry Owens,...

Robert Pattinson as Tyler Hawkins in Remember Me (top); Pattinson, Chris McKinney, Chris Cooper (bottom) Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me has likely crossed — or at least is quite near — the $55m mark worldwide. In the United States and Canada, Allen Coulter’s romantic melodrama starring Pattinson, Lost’s Emilie de Ravin, and Pierce Brosnan, has grossed $19.025m to date. Overseas, box-office figures found at Box Office Mojo add up to $33.139m. Total: 52,164m. However, as I’ve mentioned in a previous post about Remember Me’s international box-office performance, Box Office Mojo’s figures for foreign countries are incomplete. Less than half the countries listed have fully updated box-office totals (Sunday, May 2), while key markets such as Brazil, Australia, Russia, and [...]...

The film stars Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathaway. Hot Tub Time Machine, starring John Cusack was [...]...

Robert Pattinson, Chris McKinney, Chris Cooper in Remember Me Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me Reviews Robert Pattinson’s Remember Me: Below are a few more review snippets. "… [T]he movie contains a plot twist so stunning, yet so stunningly obvious, that it functions like a kind of ticking time bomb in the corner of the screen. After the first hint of what’s coming — which crops up less than 10 minutes into the movie and then doesn’t let up — the foreshadowing becomes so distracting that, by the time the darn thing goes off, there’s only a sense of relief." Michael O’Sullivan in the Washington Post "As a shameless contraption of ridiculously sad things befalling attractive people, the [...]...

First off, has anyone heard of the Terasem Movement? Because I can't decide if it's a real thing, or just part of an insanely elaborate viral marketing campaign for this new cyberpunk themed scifi indie. If it is indeed a real group of scientists who are trying to bring about the immortality of the human race by using either nanotechnology, cybernetics or by digitizing all of our states of being and blasting them into space in order that we should live in peace for eternity among the cosmos then I truly salute them. Good luck to you gentlemen.

Now, onto this extremely interesting looking movie which has somehow eluded us.

Apparently writer / director Richard Kroehling has put a lot of science behind this film (if it's real science that is) so while 2B might seem like a Pinocchio-esque fairy tale about a scientist who creates an innocent synthetic being, I'm...
