BREAKING BAD Season 4 Finale Predictions

by Scott Wampler    Posted: October 7th, 2011 at 12:57 pm

AMC’s Breaking Bad has taken fans on one helluva journey over the past four seasons, and the series’ most recent season has been one of the best yet.  There is, in fact, an argument to be made for the show getting better with each passing episode, but we’ll save that for another day.  Instead, let’s talk about Breaking Bad’s Sunday-night season finale:  will Hank figure out why Gus has been three steps ahead of him all this time?  Will Skylar turn out to be pregnant again?  And—as the old Texas Chainsaw Massacre poster used to ask—who will survive, and what will be left of them?  Check out my predictions for the Breaking Bad fourth season finale after the jump, folks.

BREAKING BAD Recap: “Crawl Space”

by Scott Wampler    Posted: September 26th, 2011 at 10:06 am

Last night’s episode of Breaking Bad, “Crawl Space”, finally delivered some payoff for the problems that have been simmering over the course of this, the series’ fourth season.  All season long, we’ve watched as Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan moved all the pieces of the puzzle into place, getting ever closer to finally dropping the “You’re Totally Screwed” hammer on Walter White, and by the end of “Crawl Space”, that hammer had Walter pinned beneath it.  What happened, and how did it play?  Find out after the jump, my fellow Breaking Bad junkies.

BREAKING BAD Renewed for a 16-Episode Final Season

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: August 14th, 2011 at 7:23 pm

AMC may have some of the best dramatic series on TV right now, but they’ve had a hell of a time working out the details.  There was the negotiations drama with Mad Men, the behind-the-scenes creative shuffling on The Walking Dead, and recently trying to get more Breaking Bad to stay on AMC while controlling costs.  Deadline reports that Sony (the company behind the show) and AMC have come to an agreement over the $3 million price tag for the series’ budget.  The new agreement will bring a 16-episode final season to the series, although the final season may be split into two halves.  While AMC is a cable network and doesn’t have the cash of network TV or the premium channels, I think this is money well spent.  I’m slightly biased because I think Breaking Bad is the best show on TV right now.

But the drama isn’t over yet.  Vince Gilligan doesn’t have a contract beyond this season so he’ll be renegotiating his contract with Sony. The cast can renegotiate their contracts as well.  Click here for what star Bryan Cranston had to say about next season of the show and beyond.

Exclusive: Vince Gilligan Talks BREAKING BAD Season 4 and 5 at the 2011 Saturn Awards

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: June 24th, 2011 at 2:57 pm

Collider attended the 37^th annual Saturn Awards last night, and while at the ceremony we got the chance to interview Breaking Bad creator/showrunner Vince Gilligan.  He spoke at length about one of the best shows on television, talking about his approach to the upcoming season, what characters will be getting more screen time, guest directors for season four, why they’re trying to get Werner Herzog to direct an episode, plotting the end of the series (Gilligan sees season five as possibly the final season), and much, much more.  Here’s a choice quote:

“I would like to see Breaking Bad go—it kinda changes if you ask me last season or the season before versus this one, but right now I would say season five should probably be our last season. But you know, check with me a year from now, we’ll see if I change my tune.”

BREAKING BAD Season Three Blu-ray Review

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: June 21st, 2011 at 5:30 pm

Quite possibly the most intense, and earnest, show on television at the moment, Breaking Bad had a lot to live up to coming into its third season. The first season of AMC’s hit drama series took audiences by surprise, when Malcolm in the Middle’s Bryan Cranston turned in a harrowing performance as science teacher-turned-meth cooker Walter White. Just when we thought we were getting a handle on what the show would entail week-to-week, season two upped the ante, making audiences sweat bullets during the last five minutes of pretty much every episode, with significant character development encompassing each installment.

It was all but inevitable that a show this good would have a slump season. There was just no way creator Vince Gilligan and his team of writers could come up with a season as surprising and satisfying as the first two. Until they did. My review of the spectacular third season of Breaking Bad on Blu-ray after the jump.

Check Out This 71-Minute Interview with BREAKING BAD Creator Vince Gilligan

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: May 9th, 2011 at 12:06 pm

Surely Breaking Bad fans are foaming at the mouth for more of their favorite series, and fortunately for them, the fourth season premiere is coming on July 17th this summer.  But until then, maybe we can quench your thirst with this extensive interview with series creator Vince Gilligan.  Of course, with an interview this long, he doesn’t just talk about the AMC drama, but also his days writing for The X-Files.  However, for those just interested in new tidbits on Breaking Bad, he does mention this season will get even darker (though won’t lose some of the twisted humor that has run through the series).  And what might be a cause for concern, is that Gilligan seems to hint that the series could come to an end after the fifth season in 2012.  We’ll have to wait and see what happens this season to really see where the story will be headed though.  Anyway, check out this lengthy interview after the jump.

BREAKING BAD Not Returning Until July 2011 But Mini-Episodes Will Fill the Big Gap Between Seasons

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: August 5th, 2010 at 8:14 am

Though fans were surely pleased to see Breaking Bad get some love with a whole slew of Emmy nominations (including one for the spectacular star Bryan Cranston), they may be disappointed to know that the fourth season of the highly praised drama series won’t come around until July 2011. That’s over a year after the conclusion of the third season which happened this past June. But Deadline has news that will ease fans’ suffering since AMC is planning to bridge the gap between the two seasons by producing short mini-episodes that will run about 3 or 4 minutes a piece. The plan is to start shooting them early next year when the show goes back into production and post them on AMC’s website.

BREAKING BAD Creator Vince Gilligan and Aaron Paul Exclusive Video Interview (2010 Saturn Awards)

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: July 4th, 2010 at 10:27 pm

One of the best shows on television is AMC’s Breaking Bad.  While I’m sure you’ve heard the buzz about the show that stars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Bob Odenkirk, Betsy Brandt and RJ Mitte…let me say it again: Breaking Bad is truly amazing television and if you haven’t gotten the chance to watch it, buy the DVDs and catch up.  You will not be sorry.

Anyway, at this year’s Saturn Awards, I was able to speak with Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan and Aaron Paul and we talked about this past season and what the future holds.  The big news is while production usually begins in August, Gilligan reveals the show doesn’t start filming until January as AMC is moving the show to the summer.  What that means is…it’s going to be a long hiatus.  We also talked about how long the show might be on the air, does he know where next season is going, and a lot more.  Hit the jump to watch the interview:

Geek Gifts: BREAKING BAD Season 1 DVD for $12.49, Season 2 for $17.49

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 14th, 2010 at 12:16 pm

Are you not watching Breaking Bad?  That’s a damn shame because it’s probably the best show on television right now.  I’m still shaken from last night’s season three finale.  The show just has such a sublime blend of emotional weight, dark comedy, heart-pounding action, and powerhouse performances that it demands to be seen.

If you’ve been holding off on watching the show, you can now get Season 1 for $12.49 and Season 2 for $17.49 at Amazon.com for the grand total of $29.98.  This is a show worth buying sight-unseen, especially for less than $30.  Here’s season 1 Breaking Bad – The Complete First Season and here’s season 2 Breaking Bad: The Complete Second Season. Last night, Breaking Bad was picked up for a fourth season.  Catch up on the show and join in the agonizing wait.

BREAKING BAD Season 2 DVD Review

by Hunter Daniels    Posted: April 13th, 2010 at 4:54 pm

The first season of Breaking Bad was something to behold. It was dark, moody, moving, and brimming with delicious black humor. Over the course of just seven episodes it established itself as one of the premiere programs on cable. Still, it was imperfect with a tone that too often swung from pithy to way-too-broad and back, and some questionable acting choices from bit players.

Season Two finds us back in the same world, but with a full 13 episodes canvas, show runner Vince Gilligan creates a – if you’ll pardon the pun — truly addicting viewing experience.  Hit the jump for my review:

HANCOCK Sequel Gets Behind Two Writers from THE SHIELD

by Nicole Pedersen    Posted: August 24th, 2009 at 11:02 pm

After making over $225 million at the US box office and another $396 million overseas, the Will Smith superhero flick “Hancock” was going to get a sequel.  That wasn’t even a question.  Instead, the question was: where will the sequel find John Hancock: reluctant crusader?  For the time being plot details for director Peter Berg’s “Hancock 2″ are still unknown, but at least we now know who will be crafting the action this time around – and the news is good if you are a fan of FX’s late, great, cop drama “The Shield”.  Details after the jump.
