“That lady is wearing a wig!” is the first thought that comes to me at the start of Parallel… Shortly thereafter, the film throws up an interesting conceit and, aside from the wig, this film is extremely professionally made. It is a sci-fi mind bender with similar ambition toLooper.

A group of friends have created a parking app, and they are trying to seal the big deal, but it all goes wrong, and they lose out. The banter among the gang is believable and funny. The characters are likable and believable as people. There is a bouncy, fun,Ocean’s 11vibe to a lot of the gang’s hijinks.

"Justice before redemption."Cranked Up Filmshas released an official US trailer for an indie action movie titledAmerican Badger,made by a Canadian stuntman namedKirk Caouette- who stars, writes & directs this film. This recently premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival a few months ago. A seemingly cold-blooded hitman is assigned to befriend a call girl, but all hell breaks loose when he is forced to kill her. Kirk says, "I was very inspired by the early works of legendary Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai; the way he blended slow burning film noir with explosive action pieces. With this in mind, I set out to create a film that would delve into that space but would also satisfy the appetite of a modern audience that has been gobbling up comic book movies &John Wickfilms.

Tonight, January 18 at 8 p.m. Est on Fox, "Fringe"will reach its epic, sure-to-be heartbreaking finale. It's a two-hour, 100th episode culmination of an adventure that has spanned decades, shattered timelines and crossed universes in the space of five years, while still maintaining the unbreakable familial bond at its core.

While it may be painful to bid farewell to Peter (Joshua Jackson), Olivia (Anna Torv), Walter (John Noble), Astrid (Jasika Nicole), Broyles (Lance Reddick) and anyone else who might happen to reappear for the show's denouement, the finale stands as a testament to the passion of fans who have kept this smart, courageous series on the air for five seasons, and to Fox, for allowing the perennial bubble show to bow out gracefully instead of being snuffed out without a goodbye.

To reflect on the show's many accomplishments and preview the final two hours, HuffPost TV spoke to executive producer and showrunner Joel Wyman,...

If you’re in the market for a tease, we direct you to this image from our recent “FringeFinale” gallery of photos and intel provided by showrunnerJ.H. Wyman.(Don’t worry: It’s not a spoiler.

This week, onFringe:Etta has shady connections, Walter has a screw loose, and Markham has a pretty sweet coffee table

After ending last season’s finale with a veritable explosion of happy, “Transilience Thought Unifier Model-11” startsFringe’s final season off on a rather different note. The gloominess that has so often pervaded the series, right back to the pilot, is back in a big way and it’s no longer centered on the characters. The dystopic future first glimpsed in last season’s “Letters of Transit” is now the permanent setting, one of gray skies (pumped full of carbon monoxide, to better suit the Observers) and paved parks. This premiere presumably sets the template for where the season is...
