TORONTO — More than 2,000 people have signed up to attend planned independent screenings of The Interview in Toronto and Montreal, after distributor Sony Pictures Entertainment canceled the film’s Christmas release.…
Extant‘s lackluster first season came to a messy end, failing to tie up several loose threads by closing credits. However, the two major plot lines involving Ethan and the Offspring finally merged, and — as we suspected — they ultimately faced off in the…
