Title: Cook County Director: David Pomes Starring: Anson Mount, Xander Berkeley, Ryan Donowho, Polly Cole, Makenna Fitzsimmons On the small screen, AMC’s “Breaking Bad” has shined a light on the production of methamphetamine, and wrung much drama from the heightened stakes of a seemingly regular family man’s descent into moral and criminal contravention. Writer-director David Pomes’ effectively grimy “Cook County” takes a look at the ravaging effects of the same drug from a user’s point-of-view, detailing the familial chaos surrounding three generations of addicts living in rural East Texas. A gritty, pungent drama with some nicely attuned performances, the film is well worth seeking out for fans of off-the-beaten-path independent  [ Read More ]

All caught up on Breaking Bad? No? First off, how dare you? But, more importantly, watch out because this piece is packed with spoilers! Earlier this evening Breaking Bad baddie, Giancarlo Esposito, showed off how unlike Gus Fring he really is, enjoying a nice night out with his daughter at the premiere of The Adventures of Tintin. Naturally, after Gus’ shocking demise, the obligatory question had to be asked – is that really the end of Gus? While Esposito artfully dodged the question, he does note that “no one dies on Breaking Bad” and that Gus will “definitely be back” perhaps “to put a final stamp on the series’ ending.”  [ Read More ]

We’ve been so entrenched in the volatile situation between Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) recently on Breaking Bad, I’ve almost forgotten about Walt’s cancer.

In this sneak peek of episode 408, “Hermanos,” not only do we get a look at what Walt goes through before sitting down for his consultation, but a sense of where his head is at through a conversation with a cancer patient that’s far newer to the process. Part of me thinks this moment could allude to the return of  [ Read More ]

Walt and Skyler (Bryan Cranston and Anna Gunn) may have managed to get their car wash up and running, but now they’ve got a new problem; Walt makes way more working for Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) than any car wash makes, perhaps even in nine months. Then again, we’re 39 episodes into AMC’s Breaking Bad; has Walter White failed us yet? He may have hit some seriously dangerous bumps in the road along the way, but Walt is still alive and breathing. However, this situation puts the ball in Skyler’s court. The question is, is she going to have what it takes when forced to turn to the dark and illegal  [ Read More ]

Dying to find out where Mike (Jonathan Banks) is taking Jesse (Aaron Paul)? You’ll have to wait until Sunday, August 14th at 10/9c for that kind of information, but for now, courtesy of a Breaking Bad sneak peek, you can get a sense of how Walt (Bryan Cranston) is getting along without his right hand man. Sure, Jesse’s been wasting his time partying and ravaging his once beautiful home, but around the lab, he’s an asset – particularly when it comes to operating the fork lift.

At the end of season three, high school science teacher turned meth cooker, Walter White (Bryan Cranston), took out two of his boss’ goons, compelling Gus (Giancarlo Esposito) to move towards eliminating Walt and naming Gale (David Costabile) his replacement.

Season three came to a  [ Read More ]
