Benedict Cumberbatch and Sherlock Creators on Season 4

The much-loved hit seriesSherlockis returning for Season 4 in 2017, and actorBenedict Cumberbatchand co-creatorsSteven MoffatandMark Gatisswere recently at Comic-Con to give hints about what fans can expect from the three upcoming episodes. Never ones to reveal secrets, the three were cagey in their responses, but their passion for the material and characters was definitely clear. During the roundtable interviews, they talked about the evolution of Sherlock Holmes, why Moriarty still weighs on him, that Season 4 is so dark that it’s “end of the universe darkness,” how Toby Jones’ villain is different from previous ones on the series, what Sherlock might think, if he ever encountered Doctor Strange, and why they would love to continue on with the series, but never at the cost of quality....

Blood Father Review: Mel Gibson's Road to Atonement

Mel Gibson, whose reputation has been tainted by racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, sexist bigotry, seems to be on a journey of career—and perhaps personal—atonement.

Crashing: Pete Holmes on the Show's Cancellation, the Finale, and a Possible Movie

45 minutes before I was due to interviewPete Holmesabout the Season 3 finale of his HBO seriesCrashing, news hit that the show was cancelled.
