Box Office Report: Mockingjay Flies, Not Soars, To 2014’s Biggest Opening
When does scoring the biggest opening weekend of the year count as a disappointment? Well, when you are part of the hugely successful Hunger Games franchise and your film's debut dips 22% from the previous instalment, that can be a tad troublesome. So, despite boasting the healthiest opening weekend of the year, with an estimated $123 million, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1's first three days were not up to par with expectations. In comparison, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire broke the November opening weekend record last year, taking in $158.1 million. The film had the sixth biggest opening for the month, all behind much-anticipated adaptations of best-selling novels from the Harry Potter, Twilight and Hunger Games franchises.

7 Actors Who Never (Or Rarely) Star In Bad Movies
How does one decide the merit of an actor? For those just starting off, he or she may be judged by the quality of the performance in their previous film and will only be considered for more roles if that film hits a chord with an audience. However, an actor that has already proved his or her worth in the industry may not need to find the highest-quality script to ensure he or she gets work. Given a lack of strong characters for aging actors, it is no surprise that films like Last Vegas and Elsa & Fred star some of the greatest thespians of all time, but get tepid reviews.

The 10 Best TV Title Sequences Of The 21st Century
If the 20th century belonged to the movies, then television could be the medium of choice in the 21st century. It is not that quality television did not exist before the year 2000 or that films have become more subpar over the last 15 years. It's just that just as breaking away from the Production Code in the late 1960s ushered in a new wave of exciting filmmakers whose influence on cinema will remain permanent – Martin Scorsese and Robert Altman, for instance – the rise of original cable programming in the early 21st century has turned television into the true writers’ medium. Television had started to step away from the shadow of film.

Homeland Review: “Halfway To A Donut” (Season 4, Episode 8)
Carrie Mathison is one of television’s most polarizing protagonists. Every week on Homeland, it seems that she is a step away from being fired from her agency post, as she clearly does not have the trust of the people under her command and she botches a rather high quotient of operations. However, that causes a dilemma for the writers, between letting what would realistically occur – Carrie loses the job – and heightening the drama, putting her in a place of greater power and, thus, greater conflict.

Box Office Report: Dumb And Dumber To Is Number Won
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels returned to the #1 spot close to 20 years after first portraying Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, as Dumb and Dumber To rode a wave of 1990s nostalgia to take an estimated $38.1 million at the North American box office. That result was slightly above expectations, beating the mid-fall starts of raunchy road trip comedies like Due Date ($32.7 million) and Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa ($32.1 million).

Gracepoint Review: “Episode Seven” (Season 1, Episode 7)
Seven episodes into Gracepoint, series creator Chris Chibnall has started the show’s detour from its British precursor, Broadchurch. This hour marked a major test for the show. Usually, any time an adaptation veers away from its source material, there is a backlash among the purists. So, this episode does not just have to build on the tension and character development of the previous installments, but has to stand on its own as it leaves the restraints of the original creation.

Beyond The Lights Review
There are two films bursting to break out of Beyond the Lights, a soapy showbiz drama from Love & Basketball director Gina Prince-Bythewood. One of them is a sharply observed examination of sexualized female identity in popular music and how its effects are not just cultural, but can inflict damage on the woman baring herself to the masses. The other is romantic formula, about a young, miserable, vulnerable woman falling hopelessly in love with a chiseled, muscular, protective man.
