I absolutely love the many ways thatBreaking Badembraced science. I love it so much, in fact, that I wrote a book about it–“The Science of Breaking Bad"fromMIT Press–along with my co-author andBreaking Badscience advisor,Dr. Donna Nelson.

Childhood's End Review: Syfy's Bold Event Series

There are good reasons why some pieces of literature, even hugely popular ones, maybe shouldn’t be adapted to screen. But, that’s never stopped anyone from trying. Syfy is the first to take a visual stab atArthur C. Clarke’s 1953 science fiction novelChildhood’s End, which deals with deep and difficult themes about humanity, and what ultimately makes us unique as a species. Some of those themes will feel familiar, having been cribbed for countless TV shows and movies, but none have so far dared to go as close to Clarke’s original material as this three-night event series....

Headshot Trailer: Iko Uwais Beats Up Everyone

If you need some bone-crunching, blood-splattering martial arts action this spring,Headshothas you covered. XYZ Films and Vertical Entertainment have released the trailer for the film, which starsIko Uwais(The Raid) as a man with amnesia who must track down and fight his former associates in order to rescue the woman he loves.
