Dominic Purcell, who plays Legends of Tomorrow‘s career criminal Mick Rory/Heat Wave, announced Friday that he has “no interest” in continuing on as a series regular.

“Deal isn’t done. I have no interest,” he wrote via Instagram. “[Whatever] cash they throw on the corporate level. I’m walking away from @cw_legendsoftomorrow. It’s been a total pleasure and a humbling experience bringing @dccomics iconic character #heatwave (aka) Mick Rory to life. I smashed this character — not an actor in the world could have done better.”

Especially if you were born years after their release, it can be hard to picture anyone writing Motown Records’ Sixties hits – “Heat Wave,” “Stop! In the Name of Love,” and “Reach Out I’ll Be There” feel like they were handed down on tablets. But for the Holland-Dozier-Holland songwriting team, creating songs that would live forever was just their job, and they deserve as much credit as, say, Lennon/McCartney. Brian Holland and Eddie Holland — authors of the new memoir Come and Get These Memories: The Story of Holland-Dozier-Holland — join...

If you haven’t been tuning in for Black Lightning lately, well, then you’ve really been missing out. Without a doubt, it’s consistently been among the better shows on The CW and has only been getting better and better.

If you have been following along though, you’ll know that the series seems to exist in its own universe. Sure, several DC characters like Supergirl and Vixen have been name-dropped, but no proper crossover has happened yet and Jefferson Pierce hasn’t shown up in any of the big mashups that go down each fall.

But next month, that’ll all change, as Black Lightning will definitely be involved in the hugely anticipated “Crisis on Infinite Earths” and thanks to the promo up above, we now have our first look at him interacting with the other heroes. There’s actually a few promos here all mashed into one nice video,...

Central City has fallen to the Rogues in this exclusive preview of The Flash #82

The most impressive thing about what Joshua Williamson and his creative collaborators have pulled off in The Flash is making one continuous four year run feel like one long story. We're about to be 82 issues plus several annuals in, and the last few issues have been notable in how they're pulling together threads from far back in the run to add a sense of culmination to the story. To be able to do that is an impressive feat; to be able to do that around a massive, linewide crossover like Year of the Villain is a great accomplishment.

This upcoming issue is the start of a new arc, and as you can see from the preview, it jumps forward a bit from where the last one left off. The last one seemingly tied...

As British noir crime dramas of the Fifties go, The House Across the Lake (1954) is probably as good an example as you could hope to dip into. The tale unfolds in flashback, related by our main protagonist to another character (precisely who is not revealed until the final reel), is embroidered with expositional narration and, though clichéd and not in the least unpredictable, delivers atmosphere by the barrel.

The film is an early entry on the CV of writer-director Ken Hughes (the arguable highpoints of whose career, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Cromwell, remain perennial favourites, whilst his latter-day offerings, Night School and Sextette, are best brushed under the proverbial carpet). Hughes scripted The House Across the Lake from his own source novel, “High Wray”, and also commandeered the director’s chair. Nowadays understandably marketed as a Hammer film, it’s actually the fruit of the company’s earlier incarnation Exclusive Films.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Jimmy Sangster today, at the age of 83. While Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing may be the first names Hammer Horror fans think of, Sangster was just as influential when it came to the success of Hammer’s films in the 50′s and 60′s.

Having written The Mummy, Horror of Dracula, and The Curse of Frankenstein, Jimmy Sangster was one of the men responsible for the creating some of Hammer’s most beloved films and horror franchises. After the success of those films, Sangster worked consistently with Hammer as a writer on dozens of films in the 60′s, including Dracula: Prince of Darkness. In the 70′s, Sangster tried his hand at directing and took on The Horror of Frankenstein and Lust For a Vampire.

Jimmy Sangster was married to his longtime wife and actress Mary Peach and they lived together in London.
