Great new as 'American Gods' season 2 will have 2 extra episodes!



American Gods season 2 has the green light! Starz's glossy adaptation of the bestselling Neil Gaiman novel - about a battle of the Old Gods and the New Gods, in contemporary America - was renewed for a second season a couple of months ago.

 But today, we're hearing that the second season will be slightly longer than the first. During an interview piece with series overseer Bryan Fuller, The Wrap claims that American Gods will have ten episodes. (which is a hole 2 episodes more, and I'm not even being sarcastic)

 Fuller also teased the journey ahead for Ricky Whittle's brilliant Shadow Moon. 

 "Whenever anyone engages in a faith bargain and they commit to it, they change their perspective in a massive way," Fuller explained. "So the story we get to tell with Shadow in the future is one of a character who’s crossed that first benchmark, which was non-believer to believer. Now that he believes, how does he believe? And how will what’s happened with his wife and Mr. Wednesday shift those beliefs? Suffice to say, Shadow will have a much more exciting arc in Season 2 than he did in Season 1." (great news)

 Also, here's a fun fact for you: the original plan for season 1 was to go a bit further, and cover a bit more of the book. 

 "Originally, we had another episode of season 1, and we were going to go all the way to House on the Rock," Fuller teased, before explaining why the plan changed.

 "We felt if we ended the season one episode earlier, we could have a bigger impact with the story, and also distribute our funds to get the season to where we needed it to go.”

 The renewal is good news both for fans of the book and fans of good TV. The first season of American Gods only got through about a third or so of the book, which means — if we want to see the rest of this weird, wonderful tale brought to life — we need a season 2... and at least a 3... and, you know what, I will take as many as I can get. I think I'm going to have to buy the books, I will have plenty of time to get them read by the time series 2 gets here.
Who was your favourite....? For me it was Mad Sweeney (Pablo Schreiber) who was nothing short of a leprechaun!

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
