The job is to speak truth to power, but at some point, the media becomes the most powerful party. A reporter can take a single fact, or set of facts, and spin them any number of ways. The media is supposed to cover events as they happen, but often times they can influence those events, and it’s those cases that are examined in Netflix’s new documentary seriesTrial by Media....

After seeing some reallykick-ass lightsaber duelsin the otherStar Warsmovies and TV series, it’s hard not to revisit the first between Obi-Wan Kenobi (Sir Alec Guinness) and Darth Vader (David Prowse) inStar Wars: Episode IV - A New Hopeand not be somewhat underwhelmed (especially when comparedto this fan edit). However, it still stands as one of the most poignant moments in the franchise, and the first truly unexpected turn ina franchise full of them, with Obi-Wan allowing Vader to strike him down, leaving nothing but his robes and his lightsaber behind....

Dick Wolf’s list of lucrative procedurals is frankly mind-blowing, with the man behind the likes of theLaw & OrderandOne Chicagofranchises proving to be CBS’s best asset.

In 2002,Vin Dieselattempted to give himself a spy franchise withxXx. The concept was that James Bond was old and stale and that what audiences wanted was a rebel who was into extreme sports. The result was laughable at best and unbearable at worst. “Hero” Xander Cage came off like a smug, self-satisfied bastard unworthy of our sympathy, and the film played like an extended Mountain Dew commercial. The movie was largely met with apathy, and Diesel didn’t even bother to return for the 2005 sequelxXx: State of the Union....
