		<description><![CDATA[
Another excellent episode of Hannibal, which continues to be so gorgeously and hauntingly shot.  From Will outside of his house in the snow, gazing across the dormant winter landscape, to Tobias in his violin shop with its rich wood and old world feel.  I was actually in a violin shop like that recently, and the show captured exactly the feeling of being surrounded by so many beautiful instruments, hand crafted with such expertise and beauty.  Though Hannibal's violence is much, much more overt than two other recent, excellent series, Top of the Lake and Rectify, they share an intensity and immersive storytelling that wraps up the darkest of horrors in the most stunningly rendered visual blanket.  How could such terrors occur in a place that's full of such beauty and richness?  Hit the jump for more on why "life is like a musical performance. We are finite events, unique arrangements."



"Fromage" was a turning point for our two main characters, as well as Alana.  Though everyone wants to be Hannibal's friend (the poor, misguided Franklin, and Hannibal's fellow psychopath Tobias), Hannibal rejects them in favor of just one: Will.  As Hannibal says, though Will is not like him, he can appreciate his world view.  Secretly, anyway.  While Tobias can also appreciate his world view, the problem arose when Tobias followed Hannibal and witnessed one of his crimes.  The risk became too high.  Though Hannibal can act as a mentor (as he did with Hobbs), as a patient (with his therapist) or ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Creating the perfect mix of drama, comedy, romance, and powerful acting is often a theatrical recipe that stands just out of reach of most productions. Sometimes the drama and romance is there, but the comedic moments fall flat, or the actors give their all to a script that jumps from place to place, fostering few laughs and even fewer tears. Silver Linings Playbook, an Academy nominated film with an award-winning cast, gives audiences a full helping of laughs, tears, and embraces in amazing, yet equal measure, brought to the table by a stellar group of actors who not only made their characters lovable, but astonishingly believable.

In the film 122-minute film, Pat (Bradley Cooper) has just been checked out of a mental help facility by his mother Dolores (Jacki Weaver), ready, though inadequately prepared, to put his shattered life back together and win back the love of his estranged wife. He begins his quest by moving back into his childhood home with his mother and OCD father, Pat (Robert De Niro), an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan. His journey to mental stability is constantly upended by his bipolar mood swings and anger issues, made stronger by his refusal to take his medication, and his utter refusal to let his old life go. Life becomes even more confusing when he attends a dinner at his friends’ home and meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a widow whose abrasive personality clashes with everyone around her. Though full of cringe-worthy moments, the two become close and begin ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Star Trek is not iconography.  There are plenty of iconic moments, inside jokes, winks, nods, and more, but it all stems from an original story starring fleshed-out characters who answered the call of duty and the call of adventure in equal and enthusiastic measure.  Director J.J. Abrams only sees iconography, but it was enough to get him through 2009's reboot.  The story was barely patched together, still filled with holes, and wrapped in coincidences, but Abrams' talent as a director managed to bring the story and characters to life in a way that felt fresh and exciting.  Much like his take on Captain Kirk, it was slapdash, occasionally clever, frantic, and charming.  Unfortunately, a flashy smile and big set pieces can't save Abrams a second time as his follow-up, Star Trek Into Darkness, amplifies the shortcomings of his original effort, and removes the joy as the picture stumbles around looking for character arcs, themes, and a compelling, well-constructed plot.  But its greatest embarrassment is in trying to steal classic Star Trek moments without having a clue as to why those moments had meaning.

The reckless Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) comes home to find that his irresponsible actions on a recent mission have knocked him down to First Officer, but he quickly regains his rank after a terrorist supposedly named "John Harrison" (Benedict Cumberbatch) attacks a meeting of high-ranking Starfleet officers.  Seeking revenge and clearly having learned nothing from his demotion, Kirk gets permission from Admiral Marcus (Peter Weller) to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
"Underwater" was an interesting but fragmented penultimate episode for Bates Motel's first season, especially after that shocker last week.  This may have been my least favorite episode of the season, because though it set up a final showdown really well, I don't feel all that invested with the Abernathy situation yet.  We know he's an uber villain who was Shelby and Keith Summers boss, but his vague threats to Norma seemed to reflect more of her own craziness than his.  Norman hardly had anything to do this week, and Bradley continues to successfully manipulate everyone in town.  Hit the jump for why crazy people keep gravitating towards Norma (hint: she's crazy!)

As suspected, the local economy of White Pine Bay revolves around pot, something that sends Norma right over the edge and ready to take off to Hawaii.  Norman explodes at her over her decisions, unleashing that burning fury inside him.  But it's Norma who really takes the crazy cake this week (not the be confused with the pot brownie), as she becomes riddled with anxiety over Abernathy's return.  The thing about Norma's "crazy" though is that a lot of it is justified at its core: yes, there's a creepy man who has made veiled threats, yes it was wrong of the realtor to not disclose the highway situation, yes Norma is within her rights to ban pot at her motel.  It's just the way it comes out though that makes it so bizarre.  She's so wrapped up in her own ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Considering that the film was bumped around from September to January due to a national tragedy, it would be nice to feel a little sorry for Ruben Fleischer’s Gangster Squad.  The period film, which casts Josh Brolin and Ryan Gosling as cops going against Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) for control of Los Angeles, has a great cast and period setting.  On top of that, The Untouchables is a great film and it wouldn’t be the worst thing to see more films like it.  And yet, Gangster Squad is a total miss.  My review of the Blu-ray follows after the jump.

Brolin leads as Sgt.  John O’Mara, who -- in the opening sequences of the film -- sees a little girl fresh off the bus picked up by a thug who takes her with the hopes of putting her in white slavery.  O’Mara’s partner wants none of it, so John storms the building by himself, killing a couple guys in the elevator and then arresting the men about to defile the girl.  The action here is over the top, which sets a tone that the film is going to be a violent cartoon, but it never tops the insane sense you get from this opening action sequence.  It was Mickey Cohen’s building, so the men O’Mara arrested are released, but Cohen (Penn) kills them anyway, because it’s that kind of movie.

O’Mara’s actions catch the eye of Chief Parker (Nick Nolte) who tasks John with the job of assembling a team to fight ...]]></description>

Oh, Don.  What the heck?  After a shaky start, Mad Men really received rave reviews last week for an episode that felt like old times, even though I just can't really trust Matthew Weiner at this point to really give us what we want.  There must be a catch about this merger.  Before that shoe drops though, we got a thoroughly Don-centric episode that was, even outside of Don's plot, all about power plays.  Don's question of likability and watchability is still an issue for me, but the way things ended up tonight did leave me wondering what is coming next for him.  Hit the jump for why you are not to pick up the phone.



When Don witnessed (or heard) the fight between Sylvia and Arnold, I was certain that he was done with the Rosens.  Don abhors that kind of drama, and now that Sylvia was really available to him, I was sure he would start veering away.  Shows how much I know.  Don spend most of "Man with a Plan" with a steely-glare, doing his best to regain power (why?) by trying to show up Chaough and control Sylvia like some kind of tame 50 Shades of Gray.  Ted's dying partner and friend gives him good advice: let Don wear himself out.  But Ted has another champion: Peggy, one who Don may actually listen to.  "You're a grown man.  Move forward."  Preach!

Joan, who has fought for her power at the company, finds it hard to relinquish it to ...]]></description>

I know that I've been promising action every week on Game of Thrones for the last few (like Winter, it is coming!), and while "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" delivered some towards the end, the rest of the episode was fraught with rich character building and small payoffs that are certainly propelling us into some interesting situations for the final three episodes (I swear!).  "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" had a lot to do with hard truths, and studied the pairing off of characters for good or ill.  Hit the jump for why "if you waste your time getting people to love you, you'll be the best liked dead man in town."



First thing's first: did anyone doubt that Jaime, who Brienne is finally calling by name, would ever really leave her there to fend for herself against Locke and his cronies?  Jaime knows Brienne can handle herself, and also knows that she's worth more alive to the men than dead -- except when he hears the Locke refuses the payment her father offers because he believes that House Tarth owns all of the sapphire mines in Westeros.  Oops.  Jaime surely does feel somewhat responsible, but it's really just an excuse to send him back to Harrenhal to aid her.  The irony is that it's neither Jaime nor Brienne's strength that saves them, but the savvy of a soldier who knows he's up a creek if he lets Jaime die.  Regardless, Jaime and Brienne are back in action, which ...]]></description>

HBO has put a lot of stock in British-based comedy over the years, particularly in their partnership with The Office's Ricky Gervais, his writing partner Stephen Merchant and their brilliantly bizarre friend Karl Pilkington.  There's also the current series Veep, which although it is based entirely in American politics, is written wholly by Britons.  Their latest comedy offering, Family Tree, which is paired with Veep in a Sunday comedy block, has its roots in Britain, but does reach out across the pond as well, reflecting the dual-citizenship sensibilities of its creator, Christopher Guest.

Fans of Guest (who created seminal works This Is Spinal Tap and Best in Show, and served as a big influence on Ricky Gervais in creating The Office's style) have been waiting for something new since 2006's For Your Consideration, which was fun, though not his best effort.  Family Tree, like his other work, takes on a mockumentary style (with varying success) and a minimalistic atmosphere, where most of the humor is found in subtle phrasing and background content, such as a poster at a theater in Hove for "Avatar: The Musical."  Hit the jump for more on Family Tree and why it's definitely worth tuning in for. 

Family Tree stars Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids) as Tom Chadwick, a 30-year-old Londoner who has just lost his job and his girlfriend.  He inherits a chest of family knickknacks from his Great-Aunt Victoria, who he barely remembers, and finds within it a photograph of a grand looking man he believes to be his great-grandfather.  Thus, the quest begins.  What starts off as a vague interest turns into a hobby and then into Tom's main ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
[This is a re-post of my review from the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.  Sightseers opens today in limited release.]

With his third film, Sightseers, director Ben Wheatley has clearly defined his wheelhouse. He makes surreal, darkly comic, horrifically violent tales about ugly people doing terrible things. The humor slightly faded in his last film, the twisted thriller Kill List, but Sightseers returns him to the pitch-black comedy of his debut feature, Down Terrace. This time, instead of giving an emotional bubonic plague to the platonic family, Wheatley fiercely savages the banality of relationships growing out of the puppy-love stages and into something serious. For the two lead characters in Sightseers, the relationship grows into something seriously demented and ruthlessly perverse.



Tina (Alice Lowe) and Chris (Steve Oram) are going on their first trip together as a couple. They're still getting to know each other, but they have a fun week ahead of driving a camper around the British Isles, and going to such exotic locations as a viaduct and a pencil museum. They would be the most boring, sad, pathetic people in the world except Chris has a minor secret: he's a serial killer who takes out anyone who makes him feel the slightest bit insecure. As for Tina, she's already insecure and desperate for Chris' approval, so murdering innocent people isn't necessarily a deal breaker. The couple may be sad and pathetic, but they're certainly not boring.

Wheatley takes Lowe and Oram's script and revisits the territory he visited with Down ...]]></description>

20 years after its release, it's impossible to overestimate the impact of Jurassic Park.  It ushered in a new era of cinema technology that melded the greatest aspects of stop-motion and animatronics with CGI breakthroughs in their infant stages.  But more than that, it blew the pants off of audiences around the world.  It's safe to bet that everyone who saw the film during its initial release remembers what it was like walking out of the theater.  It knocked us all on our asses while also spawning a 1,000 junior archaeologists.  Kids replaced their Bart Simpson posters with ones of T-rexes and raptors, everyday coming in filthy from digging in the backyard all day.

All these years later and Universal did the obvious: they released Jurassic Park 3D.  Shortly after it hit theaters, it was dropped on Blu-ray.  How does it fare in comparison to the mighty 2011 Blu-ray release?  Hit the jump for all of our details on the Jurassic Park 3D combo pack. 

Universal presents Jurassic Park in 1080p HD in 1.85:1 widescreen.  The 3D disc features a new transfer that was created for the movie's 3D conversion through a restored, color-corrected 4K master of the original 35mm negative.  Unfortunately for some, this disc is 3D locked, so the only way you can bask in the new transfer is by watching it on a 3D Blu-ray player.  The second disc is the exact same transfer as the 2011 release.

For the film's 3D conversion, much of the grain has been erased ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Filmmakers who adapt a novel are not beholden to the major themes of that novel.  They're free to take away what they want to see and leave the richer aspects of the material behind.  Such is the case with Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.  Where Fitzgerald saw the relationship between Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan as a laughable excuse to escape into the past, Luhrmann sees a doomed romance because Baz Luhrmann likes stories about doomed romances*.  And like his previous movies—Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, and Australia—Luhrmann is too afraid of actual intimacy, and covers it up in glitter and other shiny objects while laboring under the delusion that it makes the story operatic.  With The Great Gatsby, Luhrmann isn't adapting Fitzgerald as much as he's remaking Baz Luhrmann.



Breaking away from the novel, Luhrmann's version has Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) in a sanitarium.  Nick is haunted by the memory of Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), and seeks to work through the trauma by relating the story of a fresh-faced, starry-eyed Carraway coming to New York in 1922 to make his fortune.  Instead, Carraway finds himself figuratively and literally in the middle of the opulence and self-indulgence of his neighbor Gatsby on one side, and on the other side his cousin Daisy (Carey Mulligan) and her racist, overbearing husband Tom (Joel Edgerton), who is indiscreetly having an affair with Myrtle Wilson (Ilsa Fisher), the wife of sad, oblivious mechanic, George Wilson (Jason Clarke).  Gatsby attempts to ...]]></description>

At first glance, the stand-alone release of Star Trek: TNG - The Best of Both Worlds on Blu-ray looks like typical double dipping. The Season Three Blu-ray includes the first half of the two-part episode, but not the second, forcing Trekkies the world over to either pick this set up or wait until later this summer for Season Four to arrive. Why not get a few extra bucks out of the folks who can’t wait? The set certainly doesn’t justify any extra expense… but it does make an easy option for more casual fans who don’t want to invest in two expensive season collections. Hit the jump for the full review.

And if you’re going to set one TNG adventure aside for stand-alone status, this is your horse. The two parts of The Best of Both Worlds remain the definitive conflict between the crew of the starship Enterprise and the Borg collective: a race of intergalactic space zombies bent on “assimilating” everything they see. Their first target is Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart), who they abduct and transform into their cybernetic PR man before moving on to take over the Earth. The first half ended Season Three on a cliffhanger, common practice for TV shows nowadays but fairly novel for a non-soap back then. It kept fans on the edge of their seats until they could catch the conclusion the following fall. “You ruined our summer,” one family yelled at Patrick Stewart (an incident the actor gleefully relates in the Blu-ray’s extra ...]]></description>

First of all: AHHHHH!  Second of all, for anyone who thought Bates Motel would just be a pale imitator to Psycho, as we finish up this first season its been very apparent that there are plenty of places and ways for it to develop that both establish a background to the canon naturally (Norman's "episodes," Norma's control, the taxidermy, the hotel itself), while flourishing in its own new plots.  As I mentioned last week, the wrapping up of the Shelby storyline felt final, but one of the main tenents of the series is that nothing is ever really dead.  How they bring back these stories and incorporate them with new ones (like the Man in Number 9), has been spellbinding to watch unfold.  Hit the jump for more on why you should never handle anything, Norma.

I have to start with Zach Shelby's corpse because Odin's beard that was gross and awesome and terrifying.  I can't imagine there was a single person who didn't think Norma would something (or someone) unpleasant at the top of the stairs, but I thought it might be Abernathy himself, or the Chinese girl.  But he's much too subtle for that -- his creepiness emanates from him, and he would never expose himself by attacking her outright like Keith Summers or even Shelby did.  He says that Summers was the bottom rung of the ladder and that he was the top -- are we to presume then that he is the boss-boss?  Gil's boss who Dylan's ...]]></description>

David Chase, the creator of The Sopranos, may be respected for giving the world one of the greatest television shows of all time, but when he jumped into feature films with Not Fade Away, he seems to have been allowed to do whatever he wanted, but the finished product was abandoned by its studio (Paramount), who must not have thought it was Oscar material.  That’s too bad as Not Fade Away is a film that feels alive with the possibilities of cinema, but also is aware of the past.  The story of a band that never made it, Chase’s semi-autobiographical tale paints a great portrait of teenagers going through the 1960’s and are swept up in the cultural changes reflected in the music of the era.  My review of the Blu-ray of Not Fade Away follows after the jump. 

Jack Magaro plays Douglas, a young drummer who starts the film in high school.  He’s got a crush on Grace Dietz (Bella Heathcote), but she doesn’t even notice him.  That changes when he and his friends start to form a band.  At first he plays drums, but one night he’s asked to sing lead vocals, and it starts to create some fractures in the band.  Wells (Will Brill) is the lead singer, but he’s a better guitarist, while Eugene (Jack Huston) quietly supports Douglas.  At home, Doug’s dad Pat (James Gandolfini) hates the way that Doug dresses and thinks he looks like someone fresh off the boat.  He also wants his son ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
This season of Mad Men has been a little divided, much like last season (which people keep forgetting -- "Zou Bisou Bisou" almost shut down Twitter).  Though many of you have mentioned how harsh I've been on Don this year, I felt vindicated when the cast visited Katie Couric this past week.  Jon Hamm said of Don, "I wouldn't say he's likable ... he's watchable."  He also said "if you don't like Pete, you should really not like Don."  Vincent Kartheiser piped up later that the reason we all give Don a pass is because he's suave and handsome and charming, and Pete is not.  But at their core, they are the same.  But "For Immediate Release" showed that, while both are complete cads, Don does have moments of redemption that don't absolve his sins, but do make them more palatable overall.  Hit the jump for more on why you should consider putting "brain in a jar" on your tombstone.

"For Immediate Release" felt like an old Mad Men episode, not only because the show actually repeated itself, but also because characters seemed to revert to old ways, too.  SCDP is on the brink of something big financially with it going public, but just as it is, bad news: Don has cut the cord with Jaguar, which has always been a bad talisman for SCDP (Lane Pryce, as you may recall, had a few unfortunate connections with the account and the brand).  For Joan this is incredible -- if Jaguar was ...]]></description>

More setup and machinations this week on Game of Thrones, with a few really great little scenes slipped in between the big reveals that should start paying dividends immediately.  Of course, I said that last week, and this week we again got a lot of walking and talking, with people being built up just to be torn down.  We left Dany and Stannis out of things, and shoehorned Theon painfully in (literally), but other than that there were updates from all across the realm, which Littlefinger tells us is little more than a figment of our imaginations.  Varys asks what we are left with if not this shared delusion: chaos?  It's a pit.  "It's not a pit," Littlefinger counters, "it's a ladder."  Hit the jump to find out why you should have learned from your position to not overplay your... position.

Few things in Westeros are ever what they seem.  Just as one becomes complacent, the rug is pulled out.  I had actually grown used to Ros, after two seasons of her being kinda useless and taking up precious narrative space, this year she actually started to become slightly interesting.  So of course she had to die.  Gruesomely.  And at the hands of Joffrey because, in case you forgot, he's a fucking deranged monster.

Her fellow red head she had hoped to help got stuck another way, too -- Sansa, after readying for a marriage to the biggest heartthrob in Westeros, who has dreamed all his life about weddings (with a woman. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

While on our recent set visit to Pixar Animation Studios, we were treated to a special screening of director Saschka Unseld's animated short film, The Blue Umbrella.  This short will run in front of Pixar's Monsters University on June 21st.  Like previous Pixar shorts, The Blue Umbrella is absent of dialogue and long on the use of visual and musical cues to elicit an emotional response.  This particular meet cute centers on two boldy-colored umbrellas in the middle of a rainstorm in the city.  If you're interested in the behind-the-scenes work on The Blue Umbrella, be sure to read up on our interviews with Unseld. Hit the jump for my review and to find out why The Blue Umbrella is unlike any Pixar short you've seen before.

The unique quality that sets The Blue Umbrella apart from previous Pixar shorts is apparent right from the outset.  As the short begins to roll, it's not quite clear whether what we're seeing is live-action footage from a busy city street during rush hour or cutting-edge photo-realistic animation.  Turns out it's the latter, which is impressive to say the least.  The magic really comes when it starts to rain and the grumbling, shambling masses of citizens huddled together on the sidewalk raise their umbrellas.  Not only do the raindrops reveal the hidden characters within the city (faces hidden away within a utility access panel on the sidewalk, a rusted drainspout and a flashing "Don't Walk" sign, as examples) but they also bring two particularly special umbrellas to life.

Blockbusters dominate the summer movie season, and some will definitely be worth your time.  You'll pre-order your ticket, get together with friends for the earliest possible screening, and probably have a grand time.  But there are some smaller films this summer that shouldn't escape your attention.  I've compiled a list of ten worthwhile indie films I saw at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, and SXSW 2013.  The list includes coming of age comedies, moving romances, brutal dramas, and more.  There are other smaller films this summer that might be worth a look such as The Bling Ring and Blue Jasmine, but I haven't seen them yet.  I can vouch for these ten.  Hit the jump for the list.

Films are listed in order of theatrical release date.  Keep in mind that all of these movies are opening in limited release (a few may even hit VOD before the date listed), so even if you don't live near an opening weekend theater, keep the film on your radar for when it expands to your city.

SIGHTSEERS [May 10th]

If you're a fan of Ben Wheatley's previous films—Down Terrace and Kill List—then you should have no worries about picking up a ticket to his latest flick.  The story about a psychotic couple on a murderous vacation plays right into Wheatley's unforgiving black comedy.  If you need to gauge how well your comic sensibilities will fit with Sightseers, then Down Terrace is the more accurate barometer.  If you find yourself ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
[This is a re-post of my review from the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.  The Iceman opens today in limited release.]

The Iceman is a hitman movie. It's about a hitman and nothing else. Director and co-writer Ariel Vromen takes no chances on his film based on the life of mob enforcer Richard Kuklinski. The movie paints a two-dimensional character, and then wants credit for not making him one-dimensional. There's more effort put into developing the characters' era-appropriate facial hair than developing the story into anything more than a description of Kuklinski's actions. Only Michael Shannon's overpowering screen presence stops The Iceman from being the driest crime drama in recent memory.



Richard Kuklinski (Shannon) was always a violent murderer. Mobster Roy Demeo (Ray Liotta) just gave Kuklinski a way to use his inherent tendencies to make some money. The story then plays like a recreation of real events from 1964 to 1982 rather than something resembling a dramatic arc. Kuklinski is fundamentally the same at the beginning of the movie as he is at the end of the movie. He was a killer with a code and a very short temper. Only his external circumstances changed, and not to the extent where he was forced to seriously reexamine his life.

But The Iceman wants us to believe Kuklinski is a compelling figure because even though he may have killed over 100 people during his career as a hitman, he also loved his family. This is not a mind-blowing concept. We've all seen gangster ...]]></description>

There are almost as many concepts floating around in Iron Man 3 as there are suits of armor.  The only difference is that the armors have a clearly defined purpose.  In an attempt to bring Tony Stark back to basics, his latest outing is a strangely bloated affair that still manages to be an incredibly fun thanks to the hilarious comedy and exhilarating action.  Without question, it's the funniest and most exciting of the trilogy, but it's also surrounded by a host of underdeveloped ideas relating to notions of desperation, augmentation, and obfuscation, not to mention the aftershock of The Avengers.  Like riding in one of the Iron Man suits, it's a bumpy but highly enjoyable ride.

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) can't sleep.  He's haunted by the overwhelming events in New York that sent him through an intergalactic portal, and so he spends his nights building new suits of armor.  His latest is the Mark XLII, an armor that can be controlled telepathically, and a foreboding symbol of an armor that is as unpredictable as its controller.  It also becomes his only defense when the terrorist The Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) attacks, and Tony is forced to go on the run and find a way to retaliate.  Desperate, broken, and determined to protect his girlfriend Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), our hero must content with fiery, regenerating soldiers who are powered by a genetic enhancement known as "Extremis", which has been developed by the malevolent scientist Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce).
