It has been close to two weeks since HBO’s stunning and emotionally draining season finale for Mare of Easttown. The show was a hit with both critics and fans. With many fans putting asking each other who they thought was the murderer? I was wrong in who I thought done it, as many of my friends turned in week after week. Unfortunately, they were wrong with their guess too. All the mystery paid off, and the writing and acting on the show were superb. Mare of Easttown revolves around a detective who is trying to solve a murder in Pennsylvania. Over a seven-episode run, the show brought Evan Peters, Guy Pierce, Jean Smart, and Julianne Nicholson together. The cast did a phenomenal with the characters they were portraying. In many interviews, Kate Winslet has said that she loved playing the part and would be down to play the detective once more. The show was created by Brad Ingelsby and premiered in early April. Craig Zobel directed all seven episodes. As of now, HBO or Ingelsby has not said if a …
While honestly not being the biggest sports fan, especially when it comes to professional golf, one player in particular quickly became a household name and that is Tiger Woods. Even if you have never followed a game of golf in your life, you have most certainly heard the name Tiger Woods and how he came to dominate the sport at such a young age, but as we have learned by watching HBO’s new two-part documentary “Tiger” that domination certainly came with a hefty price. As quickly as one can rise, they can fall just as fast and things can get ugly very quickly! HBO’s documentary is based upon the book “Tiger” written by Armen Keteyian and Jeff Benedict. Keteyian is also one of the executive producers for the HBO two-part series. The series immediately delves into Tiger’s relationship with his father Earl Woods, who was without a doubt an incredible driving force in Tiger’s rise to golf greatness. From the time he was, a small child Earl had a plan and a vision for Tiger and absolutely nothing was going …
The new HBO Max series Raised By Wolves has just begun streaming and the series is already receiving a ton of praise from both fans and critics alike. The show is truly like nothing we have seen done before within the science fiction genre as it focuses more on the idea of relationships and humanity rather than gadgets and machines. This is definitely due in part to the phenomenal writing by creator Aaron Guzikowski. However, do not for one moment think that this series is not visually spectacular as well thanks to the visionary genius of co-creator Ridley Scott. Raised By Wolves also marks Scott’s first foray into the world of television as he is best known for his work on the infamous films such a Bladerunner and Alien to only name a few! The series focuses on a small group of individuals both android and human who have escaped from the destruction of planet Earth and are faced with a mission to recreate life on a new planet. This obviously leads to quite a bit of conflict between the …
HBO Max surely has a hit on their hands with the upcoming premiere of Raised By Wolves! The show was created by Aaron Guzikowski and Ridley Scott and focuses on the relationship between androids and humans after mass devastation has taken place on Earth. Upon watching we found ourselves immediately engrossed with the story and while it is chock full of science fiction elements the show itself is far from your typical sci-fi fodder. There is a much deeper thread that runs throughout this series, as it focuses on various aspects of human relationships, survival, religion and beliefs and so much more. It was also refreshing to watch a show that always keeps you guessing, as of right from the start you can never be just too sure of who is the hero and who is the villain and we found ourselves analyzing each and every detail looking for those answers, which are never made completely clear, as there are always two sides to every story. We recently had a chance to catch up with series stars Amanda Collin (Mother) …
The Emmy’s are coming up soon and while the main focus is generally on the categories of Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Television Drama, Comedy, etc and award that is oftentimes overlooked by the general public, but plays a tremendously huge role within the television and film industry is those for VFX. VFX (visual effects) is so incredibly important to help create the final product for nearly every film and television series you see, even if you are not consciously aware, they are there in nearly every scene and they take a tremendous amount of work to create, as everything must flow together seamlessly. We were recently able to catch up Pixomondo’s VFX supervisor Nhat Phong Tran to speak about his work on the hit HBO series “Westworld” which has earned him an Emmy nomination, alongside “Westworld’s” overall VFX supervisor Jay Worth. Jay brought Nhat and the Pixomondo team on-board with “Westworld” in Season 2, and again for Season 3, so the two have a very close working relationship and it shows by the amazing VFX content they have collectively …
