TV Review: ‘Damages’ Episode 2
space
Empress Eve   |  @   |  

FX DamagesIn the pilot episode of Damages, the new FX Network legal thriller, we’re introduced to the world of high-stakes litigation. At first, listening to lawyers throw million-dollar class-action settlement figures back and forth might seemed it bit dry. But those numbers are just a smoke-screen for what’s really going on in Damages.

High-power attorney Patty Hewes (played by Glenn Close) is heading up a class-action suit against Ted Danson‘s Arthur Frobisher, a billionaire business who’s scammed his employees’ pension fund Enron-style. We already found out at the end of the pilot that Patty will stop at nothing to win a case. Why? Perhaps because she cares for her clients, perhaps for the money, but mainly, it’s for the power. She’s power-hungry and pretty much insane at this point.

In this second episode we finally get an insight into Frobisher, and he’s definitely another character we just can’t figure out, but one thing we know for sure: he is really stressed out about this lawsuit and it has nothing to do with the money.

Enter Katie (Anastasia Griffith), a woman who could be Patty’s key witness in the Frobisher case, and Frobisher and his people know it. Doesn’t look too good for Katie, does it? That’s because it’s not. But who should she be more afraid of, Patty or Frobisher? My money’s on Patty.

Hellboy 2MTV posted a limited-edition movie poster for Hellboy 2: The Golden Army illustrated by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. The poster were a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive.

Filming for the Universal Pictures sequel, written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, began in June in Budapest, Hungary and will also take place in the United Kingdom. The theatrical release date has been moved up to July 11th, 2008 (from original date August 1, 2008).

Ron Perlman returns to the franchise in the title role along with Selma Blair, John Hurt, Jeffrey Tambor, Brian Steele, and Doug Jones. Del Toro previously said there would be around 30 monsters in the sequel (compared to 8 in the original), and it will be around a 50-50 CGI to prosthetics ratio.

Check out the photo after the jump of Doug Jones (left) on the HB2 set in Budapest, Hungary, with Neil Gaiman (at right, who was visiting the set with his daughter Maddy). Jones reprises his role as the amphibious Abe Sapien, though this time around, the character will have his voice (in the first flick, an uncredited David Hyde Pierce provided the voice).

Empress Eve   |  @   |  

SuperbadColumbia Pictures has posted three restricted-access clips from their upcoming comedy Superbad.

What that means is that you will get an age verification prompt and need to be over 18 to access the footage. It also means that even if you are over 18 (which I am), you might not gain access (which happens to me all the time). Then I try my mom’s info and it works. Hmm…

Check out here after the jump the little Superbad widget you can put on your “social networking” site. It contains scenes from the movie and it’s tiny. Yes, the tiny part is what got me. It’s just SO cute.

Superbad, produced by Judd Apatow, stars Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Bill Hader, and Seth Rogen. It opens in theaters August 17, 2007.

AOL Moviefone will host one of their Unscripted segments with stars Michael Cera and Jonah Hill, so go here now and ask your questions.
