Sarkari Film News: What We Want: Twisted Metal Movie

It's been a very good week for fans of the Twisted Metal franchise. After a decade-long absence from Sony's PlayStation consoles, the series finally debuted on the PlayStation 3 with a new sequel, simply titled Twisted Metal. But we also learned this week that Sony Pictures Entertainment is moving forward with a live-action Twisted Metal movie from writer/director Brian Taylor and producers Avi and Ari Arad. (The trio previously worked together on Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance.)

This second piece of news is bittersweet, at best, as video game movies still have a reputation for being cheap, lousy cash-ins that don't do justice to the source material. In this feature, we look at a few ways Sony can avoid the mistakes of the past and deliver an adaptation that fans and newbies alike will want to see.

And with director Matthew Vaughn confirming that he's back for more mutant misadventures, there was a global nerdgasm at his off-the-cuff comments that he's already brainstorming ways to incorporate other major historical moments into the action.

Sarkari Film News: Top 25 Peripheral Characters The Simpsons

Sarkari Film News: Top 25 Peripheral Characters The Simpsons

The Simpsons is reaching another unbelievable milestone this Sunday, as the show airs its 500th episode. To mark the occasion, we thought we'd take another look at our favorite peripheral characters from the series.

With hundreds of Simpsons characters now introduced, it can be a bit tricky figuring out which are "peripheral" at this point, especially since 23 seasons of the show means that there's now been enough time for even the more minor characters to appear many times. That being the case, to come up with this list, we eliminated characters that are shown often enough to be considered "regulars", including the likes of Moe, Milhouse, Mr. Burns, and Smithers or some of the most frequently seen recurring characters such as Krusty, Apu and Principal Skinner. After all the bigger characters were removed, we narrowed down our list to the 25 peripheral characters we consider the very best.

Sarkari Film News: Safe House Review

Sarkari Film News: Safe House Review

There's a scene in the new Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds thriller Safe House where Reynolds' character is literally fighting for his life. He viciously strikes his opponent, who returns the favor. They kick, thrust, cut. The two grapple and throw one another around, eventually smashing through a window to the ground outside. But all the while, Washington's character sits in another room in the house, chained up and unable to exit, or help, or flee. But he's not bothered by this. No, he just sits there and listens silently, intently, his head slightly cocked while Reynolds' fate -- and by extension, his own -- unfolds outside.
