Star Wars 7: Abrams and Hamill Talk Evil Luke Skywalker in '05

Thefinal trailer forStar Wars: The Force Awakensdebuted during Monday Night Football this week, and we still don’t have an official look atMark Hamillreprising his role of Luke Skywalker. There’s probably a reason for that, but the biggest fan theory buzzing around the webosphere postulates that it’s because the good, wholesome Jedi Knight has turned to the Dark Side in his old age. Adding even more fuel to the fire is an old installment ofDinner for Five, an IFC series from the ‘00s, that’s making the rounds....

Tallulah Review: Ellen Page Shines in Netflix Movie

The first time we meet Tallulah, she’s scrawled on her lover’s hand in a crude stick-n-poke tattoo. The second time we meet her, she’s swinging into a dilapidated van, swigging from a pilfered whiskey handle and urging said lover (now turned getaway driver) to speed away from the roadhouse they’ve been idling in front of. From the very beginning ofTallulah– a film whose title calls up both the roguish charm of the historical figure Tallulah Bankhead and the often irritating, persistently imperfect hero ofEllen Page’sLu – we’re forced to spend time, intimate time, with a vagabond who prides herself on her ability to subsist on dumpster dregs and sleep in the back of her van rather than grow the often scarily permanent roots the world seems to require from the “functioning adult”....
