Territory: A High-Stakes Drama Set in the Outback

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Northern Territory and South Australia, Territory followed the gripping power struggle over the world’s largest cattle station after its heir’s sudden death. With billions at stake, rival ranchers and local criminals schemed for control, creating a high-stakes drama that kept audiences hooked.

The series, directed by Wolf Creek filmmaker Greg McLean, featured an impressive ensemble cast, including Fringe star Anna Torv,...

Arthurian adaptations have explored the story and origins of various characters beyond King Arthur, such as Sir Gawain, Morgaine, and Merlin. These adaptations can vary in setting, from medieval times to the modern era, but their purpose is to keep the Arthurian legends alive and thriving. Some innovative adaptations depict King Arthur as a background character rather than the traditional hero, offering fresh perspectives on the familiar story.

King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and Camelot are all the words associated with the greatest genre of medieval literature — Arthurian romance, and naturally, it has been explored in cinema and on television for decades. While King Arthur is generally the hero of the hour, as in Guy Ritchie's box-office disaster King Arthur: Legend of the Sword or Walt Disney's classic The Sword in the Stone, he is not the only fascinating figure in the story. Arthur's knights, Merlin,...

Reviews for Cocaine Bear are now in, with critics loving the movie's self-awareness, humor, and bloody mayhem. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, Cocaine Bear tells the story of a large grizzly who ingests large amounts of cocaine before then going on a murderous rampage through a Georgia forest. The film, which is very loosely based on real events, stars Keri Russell, Alden Ehrenreich, Ray Liotta, O'Shea Jackson Jr., and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, among others.

Ahead of its official release tomorrow, February 24, reviews for Cocaine Bear are starting to roll in. At the time of writing, the movie holds a surprising 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (which will surely change as more reviews are added), with critics mostly agreeing that, while not necessarily groundbreaking, Cocaine Bear pretty much gives you exactly what you'd expect in a fun, hilarious, and violent package. Check out some review excerpts below:

More casting news is coming in over the weekend for the new film based on the use of Hasbro's board game that lets you communicate with the dead, thereby leading to your own possession by evil forces until you become emaciated and die. Fun!

Deadline is reporting that Matthew Settle has been added to the cast of Universal's Ouija. He joins the previously announced Bianco Santos ("The Fosters"), Erin Moriarty ("Red Widow"), newcomer Ana Coto, Paranormal Activity 2 actress Vivis Colombetti, Olivia Cooke ("Bates Motel"), Douglas Smith, and Daren Kagasoff in the film, which is being produced by Platinum Dunes, Blumhouse Productions, and Hasbro.

Settle (pictured) will play Anthony Morris, the father of Laine Morris (Olivia Cooke). Cooke will play a girl who discovers that her dead friend had been messing around with a Ouija board and brings the game home. Smith is the dead girl's boyfriend, who may know...

George R. R. Martin took to his Livejournal to set up another riddle to reveal the latest casting for Season 2 of Game of Thrones. After only 12 hours, the dedicated fans of A Song of Ice and Fire deciphered Martin’s clues and now we know that Anthony Morris will be playing the Tickler.

The riddle Martin posted was “Elmo is a fibber and a drubber and a jock. He’s whispered to horses and conversed with dogs. A diamond in the rough, he is, but no pinhead.” I’m not sure how people figure these out so fast. Just six hours after the post went up, someone figured out that Irish actor Anthony Morris was a jockey in Rough Diamond, played Drubber in Trouble in Paradise and appeared in a movie called Little White Lie. It was another commenter who figured out the “Elmo” clue meant Morris would be playing the Tickler.
