The legalisation of gambling in Nevada in 1931 established Las Vegas as the world’s gambling mecca. But it did more than that – it glamorised the gambling industry. Rumours regarding the flourishing gambling business in Las Vegas and its exuberance reached Hollywood, and before long the public could enjoy gambling movies in theatres all over the country. More than 80 years later, Marvel’s Blade Movie will show that casinos have a special place in the hearts of Hollywood film directors.
Actually The Matrix Slot is based on one of the most popular movies, but not all gambling movies are the same, though. In fact, most of them focus not on casino gaming itself, but rather on its glamour and magnificence – which is great, but we believe there is something even greater.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, a man once described as "the best of us" by fellow actor William H. Macy (see below), died a year ago today. If ever an actor warranted a full-oeuvre review, it is Psh. Celebrate his tremendous cinematic legacy with these five titles on Netflix right now. "Punch Drunk Love" Remember when Adam Sandler starred in one of the most touching movies you've ever seen? I know, your brain has since tried to erase that moment out of sheer incomprehensibility. With the exception of "Boogie Nights" (in which Psh is also incredible), "Punch Drunk Love" might be the most universally beloved Paul Thomas Anderson movie. "Almost Famous" Lester Bangs remains the definitive rock critic of the '70s, and Psh's portrayal of the grizzled journo is just one facet of what makes "Almost Famous" enchanting. Frances McDormand, Kate Hudson, and even a wee Zooey Deschanel play fascinating characters...

The Berlin International Film Festival has added special screenings to commemorate the deaths of actors Philip Seymour Hoffman and Maximilian Schell. The festival will present a special screening of "Capote" at the CinemaxX 6 on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 at 9.00 pm. "Capote" had screened in competition at the festival in 2006. Hoffman also made his way to the festival for Richard Kwietniowski’s "Owning Mahowny," Spike Lee’s "25th Hour," Anthony Minghella’s "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and Paul Thomas Anderson’s "Magnolia," which won the Golden Bear. In honor of Maximilian Schell, the festival will present his film "Meine Schwester Maria" (My Sister Maria). This screening will be showing at the Urania Filmbühne Berlin on February 9, 2014 at 3.00 pm. In the film, Schell reflects on his relationship with his sister. Schell's documentary "Marlene," about Marlene Dietrich, was screened in the Competition in 1984. He returned to the Competition as an actor in Jeroen Krabbé’s.

I’m still in shock about the sudden and untimely death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. It’s not just that we’ve lost one of the best actors of our time, or the realization that he leaves behind a partner and three young children. It’s that a man with such a great gift got caught in the grip of addiction and let it overtake his life. (Ironically, one of my favorite performances of his is in the 2003 film Owning Mahowny, about a man who is addicted—to gambling. I never dreamt that he might have had a personal connection to the character.) I’ve been reading the transcript of an interview I did with Hoffman at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in 2006, right after he was...

Steve Coogan and Naomie Harris lead eulogies to late star at London Critics' Circle awards, while Tom Hanks, Robert De Niro and George Clooney also release statements
• Twitter tributes to Philip Seymour Hoffman
The British film industry paid tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman at the London Critics' Circle awards last night, with Steve Coogan and Naomie Harris among the stars lining up to celebrate the work of the late Oscar winner.
Coogan said Hoffman raised the quality of every film he was cast in. "There are actors and there are movie stars and sometimes they're both but he was an actor first and a movie star second," he said. "He did some tremendous work. People have different opinions about actors but you wouldn't find anybody who would have a bad word to say about any of his performances – they were all incredibly nuanced."

I’ll never forget the moment I first sat up and took notice of Philip Seymour Hoffman — the moment that I knew I loved him as an actor and knew, as well, that he was a different kind of great actor from anyone I’d ever seen. It was the moment in Boogie Nights (1997) when Hoffman’s Scotty J., the boom-mike operator who has spent most of the film hanging around the sidelines of the porn set, a sweetly insecure dude in long red hair, his gut poking out of his ’70s tank tops, confesses to Dirk Diggler that he...

New York City – Philip Seymour Hoffman, Best Actor Oscar Winner for ‘Capote,’ was found dead in his New York City apartment early Sunday morning. The 46-year-old Hoffman had struggled with heroin addiction, and police suspect an overdose, but the cause of his death is yet to be determined.

Philip Seymour Hoffman was a consummate actor and performer, from the cult huckster Lancaster Dodd (“The Master”) to manic sound man Scotty J. (“Boogie Nights), through his Oscar winning portrayal of Truman Capote (“Capote”), Hoffman embraced his roles with a intuitive understanding that was second-to-none among his peers. He was almost unrecognizable as Oakland Athletics Manager Art Howe in “Moneyball,” but every scene he was in, the focus seemed all about him. He recently did a more mainstream role as Plutarch Heavensbee in “The Hunger Games...

Very sad news has been confirmed today as the tremendously talented actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead at the much too young age of 46. No cause of death is currently known, but Hoffman has struggled with substance abuse in the past and an overdose is suspected here. Few in the business had a more diverse filmography than him, so as tragic a loss as it always is whenever an entertainer is taken from us, this one just seems all the more depressing and hard to process due what he still had left to share with the world. A Best Actor Oscar winner for his lead performance in the biopic Capote, Hoffman was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his scene stealing turns in Charlie Wilson’s War, Doubt, and last year for The Master as well. Along with multiple BAFTA, Golden Globe, Independent Spirit, and Screen Actors Guild citations,...

We don't mention it a lot around here, but Syfy's supernatural series "Lost Girl" is the number one original cable drama among Adults 18-49 and 25-54 in its time period (Monday, 10Pm) so it obviously has a lot of fans. Which must be why the network announced its renewal for a fourth season.
From the Press Release:
In the series’ current third season, which ends Monday, April 22nd, at 10Pm (Et/Pt), "Lost Girl" is averaging 676,000 Adults 18-49, 721,000 Adults 25-54, and 1.3 million total viewers. Look for 13 all-new episodes to begin airing in 2014.
Anna Silk (Being Erica) stars as seductress Bo, a Succubus (a powerful female entity in folklore) who feeds off sexual energy. Bo is one of the Fae, creatures of legend who pass as humans. Faced with choosing between an allegiance to the Dark or Light Fae clans, Bo takes the middle path between the human and Fae worlds...

Hopefully you’ve been watching this really fun, entertaining supernatural show. If not, now’s the time to get going on that. Lost Girl brings us new supernatural creatures nearly every week as well as longer story arcs, some nice fight scenes, great cast chemistry, and lots of sex between pretty people. What’s not to like?
The series is produced in Canada and airs on Showcase there; Showcase and Syfy both announced the new season pickup yesterday. Unfortunately, while Canada is getting the next season in late 2013, we in the U.S. have to wait until 2014. Hopefully that isn’t set in stone…

It’s true; no matter what certain networks may claim about their “winter finales,” winter doesn’t actually start until December 21, and isn’t over until March 20. Syfy, at least, understands this, and has announced their appropriately-titled winter schedule accordingly.
Happily this means that, starting on Monday, January 14, 2013, we will have some great television to get us through the cold months, including the return of Being Human and Lost Girl, and the premiere of Continuum, and later in the week, the return of Ghost Hunters and Face Off.
Here’s the schedule of premieres, along with series synopses:

Canadian TV series "Lost Girl", which also airs on Syfy here in the States, has lined up a pretty impressive guest star for its upcoming Season 3: none other than ass-kicker supreme Linda Hamilton.
TVLine reports that Hamilton (The Terminator, "Beauty and the Beast") will guest star in Season 3's tenth episode as Acacia, “a tough, sexy, and ruthless assassin who has enjoyed a storied and deadly career.”
Season 2 of "Lost Girl" is currently finishing out its run on Syfy by moving to Friday nights at 10:00 Pm, and Season 3 will air on both Syfy and Showcase in 2013 (Syfy says January while Showcase just says winter).
Synopsis:
Anna Silk (Being Erica) stars as seductress Bo, a Succubus (a powerful female entity in folklore) who feeds off sexual energy. Raised by human parents, Bo had no reason to believe she was anything other than the girl next door – until she “drained” her first boyfriend to death.

Of course, for the most part I only know of Lost Girl from its U.S. airing, but I’m a fan, and Linda Hamilton showing up is just too cool.
She’ll be guest-starring as an assassin no less, and it ought to be a rather fun trip. Call me crazy, but this show just gets better and better, and I love to see things coming south.
Are you a fan of the show, and is this a good move?

Excellent news about a fun, entertaining supernatural crime show with some cool creatures, a fair amount of sex and terrific chemistry between the characters. Hopefully you’ve been catching Lost Girl on Syfy, Mondays at 10/9c. The show is Syfy‘s only “acquired” scripted series. It’s a Canadian production and has been broadcast there with great success and rabid fans, if my international Twitter feed is any indication.
It was renewed for a third season in Canada back in December, before Season 1 debuted here on Syfy in January. Syfy began airing Season 2 the week after Season 1 concluded, and Season 2 is still rolling out now. It’s great news that we’ll be seeing the third season here as well. Here’s the press release:

Well, there’s a much bigger audience for this news than there was when I mentioned that the second of Lost Girl was coming, so hopefully there are a lot of you out there that are glad to hear that Season 3 is getting underway.
It’s timely news as well, now that Syfy kicked off Eureka! last night, which hopefully gave Lost Girl even more of a boost. It’s also timely, because I know there are some folks out there who started to wonder when Syfy began talking about Season 2 of a rebroadcast show that didn’t actually have a Season 3 yet.
I love Syfy for airing the show, but it’s tricky for some fans who may find themselves unsure how much they want to invest in a show, when the network you’re watching it on isn’t really in control of what happens.
At any rate,...

Actor who was at his best in shadowy roles
The actor Maury Chaykin, who has died aged 61 after a heart-valve infection, was an American and a Canadian citizen, and his career reflected his dual nationality.
