‘The Greasy Strangler’ NSFW Trailer Will Intrigue Fans Of The Gross And Outré, Repulse Everyone Else Swiss Army Manmade a lot of headlines for sparking walkouts at Sundance, but as the generally positive reviews for that one showed, plenty of critics were won over by Daniel Radcliffe’s farting corpse.

‘The Magicians’ Faces “The Serpent” In An Episode All About Magical Terrorists And Human Nature Like most episode titles ofThe Magicians,this week’s title,“The Serpent,” has many layers. There’s the obvious reference: The Serpent is the name of a magical terrorist group that is infecting hedge witches with earworms that make them boil to death from the inside if they do magic. But then there’s the subtler reference, a nod to the notion that many “serpents” in the world aren’t an evil, external force looking to do harm, but are things that live inside us, issues or facets of ourselves or what we believe that we must confront and deal with....

Early Buzz: Paranormal Activity 2 I’ll admit it, I didn’t expectParanormal Activity 2to be any good. The sequel was rushed into production to be released in theaters a year after the original (ala Saw). Paramount Pictures had not released much footage for the release, and was not screening the film early for press (night before screenings in some cities) — both are normally indicators of nothing good. Last night thousands of fans lined up in Los Angeles and cities across the country to be the first to see the sequel at midnight, and Paramount reports sell-out crowds in 20 cities in the U....
