The post The Good Traitor Movie Review appeared first on Shockya.com.

In 2019, British television writer and producer Russell T Davies turned his attention to the future with the gripping limited series “Years and Years.” Now, he’s transporting us to a past that seems both distant and all too recent.

“It’s a Sin,” which launches this month on HBO Max after a run on Britain’s Channel 4, follows a group of friends living in London through the 1980s — a decade that begins, for them, with the promise of liberation and moves, as the AIDS epidemic takes root, towards isolation and pain. The series demonstrates once again Davies’ masterful control of tone, shifting in five episodes from joy to the harder-won pleasures of solidarity in the face of crisis to — finally — tragedy. As a depiction of a horrific period in the life of a community, “It’s a Sin” has a crystalline sense of the power of its project. But it makes room,...

Due to popular demand, and the increasing addiction of the entire staff to the show, we're going to be covering HBO's fantasy epic "Game Of Thrones" episode-by-episode for the rest of the season. You can find our verdict on the first four episodes here, and below is our take on episode five, "The Ghost Of Harrenhal" and episode six, "The Old Gods And The New." Look for recaps of new episodes on Monday morning from now on. Oh, and we haven't read the books, so please, no spoilers in the comments, thanks.

As the mid-point of the series, episode five and six of the first season of "Game of Thrones" was when, to borrow an old Dothraki term, shit got real. Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) was in prison, accused of attempting to murder Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) by the boy's mother, Catelyn (Michelle Fairley). A rift was created between King...

Game of Thrones, Season 2, Episode 6: “The Old Gods and the New”

Written by Vanessa Taylor

Directed by David Nutter

Airs Sundays at 9pm Et on HBO

As in last week’s “The Ghost of Harrenhal,” Game of Thrones once again explores just about every corner of its world over the course of a single installment; the result, however, is a little more uneven this time around.

“The Old Gods and the New” opens with one of its strongest sequences. With Theon having quite suddenly taken Winterfell with his “skeleton crew,” Bran Stark is once again tested. The young leader’s early scene with Theon is wonderfully written and acted, with the boy quickly cutting to the heart of Theon’s betrayal, making clear just how arbitrary their conflict is. The execution of Ser Rodrik is bloody and brutal, but the sloppy work Theon employs in the simple task of...

Game of Thrones

“The Old Gods and the New” Air Date: 5/6/2012

Chalk up another great episode for Game Of Thrones, in an episode that perhaps strays further than the books than any other to this point. And for me, that’s very much a good thing, providing more surprises to loyal readers of Martin’s A Song Of Ice And Fire.

In the North, Maester Luwin hurriedly sends a raven with tidings of an attack on Winterfell. Bran is woken from his dream to a nightmare: Theon and his Iron Island sailors from Pyke have taken the weakened Winterfell. Bran can’t understand why someone he grew up with would betray him and his family, and is forced to yield the castle to Theon, now the Lord of Winterfell. The people of Winterfell are fiercely loyal to the Starks and refuse Theon’s leadership, and when the captured former Master of Arms,...

We’re nearly half way through the second season of HBO’s Game of Thrones and the new characters are starting to pile up! As if the monstrous cast of Season 1 wasn’t enough to wrap our minds around, there are a whopping 22 new characters (worth mentioning) introduced over the first four episodes of Season 2. The following list gives some brief background information about each new character, who they are and how they fit into the story.

Hopefully this will help to eliminate any confusion you might have when you yell at your TV: “Wait! Who the hell was that guy again?”

At Dragonstone:

King Stannis Baratheon

Played by: Stephen Dillane

Stannis is the late King Robert’s younger brother and the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and Westeros. Since Robert’s Rebellion, he has held the island fortress of Dragonstone, which lies northeast of King’s Landing. Stannis is a hard,...

Game of Thrones Season 2 Trailer. The Seven Devils Game of Thrones TV show trailer features a song entitled (I presume) ‘Seven Devils’, song sweetly by a female singer. The Game of Thrones Seven Devils trailer features all new footage for season two of Game of Thrones. The part when the singer or singers say “seven devils are around you” after Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) is finished speaking is pretty powerful. Also we are shown that parts of the second and third books in the A Song of Ice and Fire book series are represented in season two. Why do I saw that (spoilers): The Unsullied are shown as well as the moment of their purchase. That happens in A Storm of Swords, the third book in the series (end spoilers). Like it says in the prologue of one of the books though, some events happen coterminous with other events...

Game of Thrones Season 2 Trailer. The HBO Go ’First Look’ Game of Thrones TV show trailer brings into focus many aspects of the new season of the HBO show, chief among that Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) will play a pivotal role since he is shown over and over again. I do not want to give again away but from reading the book this season is based on, A Song of Ice and Fire: A Clash of Kings, I can say that this is accurate.
