Netflix's 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' Have added Nathan Fillion, Tony Hale and a couple other new faces to season 2: Here's who they will be playing!



Netflix's "truly terrible" 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' will be welcoming a handful of new faces for its second season and I couldn't be more excited.

Executive producer Barry Sonnenfeld revealed the list of newcomers to the new season, along with juicy character tidbits about who they'll portray.

Nathan Fillion, best known for his work in Castle and who recently starred in a buzzy recurring role on Modern Family, joins the cast as Jacques Snicket, who is the brother of Patrick Warburton's Lemony. Sonnenfeld pointed out that Fillion has previously worked with Neil Patrick Harris, as the two co-starred in the 2008 musical comedy mini-series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

Given the darkly humored nature of that project, we should be in for a treat once these two reunite on-screen.

Meanwhile, Arrested Development and Veep alum Tony Hale will play a character named Jerome Squalor, whose wife may or may not become a love interest to Neil Patrick Harris' Olaf.

Lucy Punch, whose TV credits include Ben and Kate and a brief stint on New Girl, will play Esme Squalor, "who's perhaps a love interest for Olaf, we don't know for sure," per Sonnenfeld. Which almost definitely means that they're going to hook up.

Sonnenfeld also revealed, "Sarah Rue has a season-long arc and she's fantastic, she starts out as a librarian and goes on to perhaps better things. And Roger Bart, who we just finished filming, who's a brilliant Broadway actor, who plays Vice Principal Nero in the first two episodes I just directed ... and he almost makes Olaf seem like a nice guy -- sane."

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,
