These immensely Hollywood actors who enjoy themselves in TV series

They swapped the big screen for the small …
Not that long ago, the cinema watched its little brother of the series with a lot of disdain, the connection always being made one way: if you were cartooning on small screen, you had to “devote yourself to the cinema” to climb in range. The level Champion’s League what. A more valid observation in this period of golden age for the series and decline of the 7th art. The Hollywood monuments no longer hesitate to pass a head through the small skylight. The proof.
Kevin Spacey in “House of Cards”
It was thought to associate it forever with this sheitan of Verbal Kint, his cult role in “Usual Suspects” . But for a few years now, the Oscar-winning actor has succeeded in establishing himself as the president of the States in our minds. Thanks to the series of phenomena “House of Cards” where his gifts of manipulator are still marvelous. Special mention also to his wife, Claire Underwood, encamped by the genius Robin Wright, that we saw before in “Princess Bride” and “Forrest Gump” …
His films include “Usual Suspects”, “Se7en”, “American Beauty”, “LA Confidential”, “A Better World”, “The Life of David Gale” …
Tom Hardy in “Taboo”
Quoted at episodic apparitions in “Peaky Blinders” , Tom Hardy gave his person (and his money) to create his own series: “Taboo” . A delirium in 19th-century London, between political conspiracies and shamanism. In short, an ambitious project in which Tom Hardy does … Tom Hardy. The good man does not speak or almost speak, even if it becomes his own caricature. I do not hide that I am done in the 8 episodes, hoping that season 2 finally takes off.
His films include “Bronson”, “Inception”, “The Dark Knight Rises”, “Mad Max Fury Road”, “Men Without Law”, “Warrior”, “The Revenant” …
Tom Hiddleston in “The Night Manager”
England, once again honored. Resting on the duality between spy and arms trafficker, “The Night Manager” recruited heavy for the two leading roles. First with Hugh Laurie aka the punchlineur Dr. House. And then calling on Tom Hiddleston, a regular blockbuster, especially via his role as Loki in MCU. A successful bet since the latter won in 2016 the Golden Globe of the best actor in a mini-series or a TV movie
His movies of ouf ‘ : “Thor”, “Avengers”, Kong: Skull Island “…
Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in “True Detective”
8 episodes: it was the time it took Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey to bend the game of the series. The first season of “True Detective” is a must for any serious series , whether it is at the level of writing, the visual and sound atmosphere, and of course the interpretation of the Hollywood duo who had already worked Together on the film “Live on EdTV” . Unfortunately, the same can not be said of Season 2 and their successors Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn …
McConaughey’s “Ouf ‘movies: ” Rebel Generation “,” Dallas Buyers Club “,” Interstellar “,” The Wall Street Wolf “,” Magic Mike “…
Harrelson’s films: “The Whites can not jump”, “Killers”, “Larry Flint”, “No country for old men”, “Welcome to Zombieland”, “Hunger Games”, “Unseizable “…
Daniel Radcliffe in “A Young Doctor’s Notebook”
He will definitely spend the rest of his career trying to get rid of his Harry Potter label (good luck). A challenge that goes through the cinema but also the world of series, where little Daniel made a rather successful foray with his role as a young Russian doctor during World War I in the mini-series “A Young Doctor’s Notebook” . Ironically, he shares the role with Jon Hamm, a size of the small screen (“Mad Men”) that tries to make the opposite way towards the cinema.
His movies of ‘ouf’: ah all the Harry Potter
Steve Buscemi in “Boardwalk Empire”
Nothing is ever too big for HBO who through “Boardwalk Empire” has let loose a lot of sorrel so that you think you are in the Atlantic City of years prohibitions. Produced by Martin Scorsese, the series had to attract a heavyweight for the starring role of Nucky Thompson. This was done with Steve Buscemi, who slipped into the smart suits of the alcohol trafficking in Atlantic City. A series I advise to everyone.
His films include “Reservoir Dogs”, “Fargo”, “The Big Lebowski”, “The Wings of Hell”, “Armageddon” …
Tim Roth in “Lie To Me”
And here is his comrade of “Reservoir Dogs” who follows him with “Lie To Me” , where Dr. Cal Lightman, behavioral expert, manages to detect the mythos. A gift he puts to the service of the FBI (Mr. Orange and the police, a great love story). Between us, Tim Roth is the main selling point of this series that does not revolutionize the genre.
His films are: “Reservoir Dogs”, “Pulp Fiction”, “The Planet of the Apes”, “Funny Games”, “The Incredible Hulk”, “The Eight Bastards” …
Nicole Kidman in “Big Little Lies”
With Nicole Kidman but also Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley, “Big Little Lies” has fanned the cast 5 stars, which would make salivate any Hollywood production. But it could be that the mini-series remains in the state of one-shot, the last tendency being to the pessimism concerning a season 2 of “Big Little Lies”.
His films include “Eyes Wide Shut”, “Moulin Rouge”, “The Others”, “The Hours”, “Dogville”, “Paperboy”, “Lion” …
Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris in “Westworld”
Despite their advanced age and long career as the arm, Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris had never had regular roles in a series. Far too busy they were to shine at the movies. Well, it should be emphasized that the two monuments did not agree to play in the first series came. “Westworld” is undoubtedly the most gigantic television project of the last decades , and season 1 has barely sketched all the potential of this SF fresco. We want more !
Their movies of ‘ouf’: the list is far too long …
Bonus: Gerard Depardieu in “Marseille”
He could have dispensed with it …

8 – The Vampire Diaries
Season 8 of The Vampire Diaries has just completed his first chapter, which ended in a rather complicated for the different characters. Damon and Stefan are now the slaves of Cade and the latter had to extinguish his humanity in order to become Stefan the Ripper again. The end of this first part of the season offered us strong and melancholic scenes that are promising for the end of the series.
7 – The Flash
If we were somewhat disappointed by the giant crossover between Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow , the final mid-season The Flash has greatly boosted the level! By mixing the magical atmosphere of Christmas with the mysteries surrounding Dr. Alchemy and Savitar, the screenwriters offered us an episode rich in revelations and emotions. Barry will face a dilemma concerning Iris in the upcoming episodes. You can also find the video promo for episode 10 of season 3 of The Flash .
6 – Designated Survivor
Designated Survivor has had ups and downs in the last episodes that were broadcast on ABC, but we all agree that the final mid-season has largely lived up to our expectations. The plot has gained momentum and the tension was at the rendezvous, so much so we stayed glued to our screen to the last seconds of the episode . We really hope that the series will continue on this path and not embark in the traps of the genre, strongly following!
5 – The OA

Many mysteries surround his character and we are then transported into a very particular universe. If you are looking for a mysterious new to put you to the tooth, The OA is made for you, especially since the realization is very beautiful, which does not spoil anything.
4 – The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead deserves its place in our top series in December with two well-paced and well-run episodes. Carl’s stay at the Sanctuary and the way Negan took him under his wing proved quite fascinating and enabled us to discover a very interesting dynamic between the two characters. And the mid-season finale was up to our expectations by finally bringing together several groups of characters but especially by reviving hope, symbolized by the reunion as touching than expected between Rick and Daryl.
3 – This is Us
This month, This Is Us , the family drama of NBC continued to plunge into the exciting and touching stories of the Pearson family. The revelations continue to fall and fit perfectly into the story without this being forced. We particularly liked the Christmas episode because it brought together all the elements worthy of a good Christmas movie. Until the end, This is Us has been our favorite series of the end of the year and we are already looking forward to finding it in 2017!
2 – Shameless US
Season 7 Shameless US ended in style this year by offering us a bittersweet episode in which the Gallagher clan had to say goodbye to one of their own. In addition, we also had a passionate reunion between Ian and Mickey. Tenderness and emotions were at the rendezvous, not to mention completely crazy moments and offset as one Shameless is doing it. Season 7 Shameless US is the season of maturity to the Gallagher children, everyone seems to finally find his way and intrigues are always well written.

Westworld: Episode 10, record audience for the Season Finale!

sivertime — Sat, 10 Dec 2016 19:48:20 +0000

The last episode of the first season of Westworld, the new HBO series, hit a record audience.

This is the new hit series that should “replace” Game of Thrones in the heart of fans of HBO . And indeed, it seems that Westworld has already surpassed its predecessor. Indeed, the Westworld 1 season ended on December 4 and figures about the hearing are impressive. While season one of Game of thrones had gathered 2.5 million people, the Westworld attracted 12.5 million people. This is simply the best launch of an HBO production, although it must be remembered that the series has benefited from the new viewing platforms to boost its hearings. But that’s not all, the season finale of season 1 Westworld also broke a record. Besides, Anthony Hopkins (Ford) is back on the events of episode 10 of Westworld. ..
The episode 10 of the first season of Westworld has indeed met 2.2 million viewers during its live broadcast on HBO . It is a non-negligible increase of 9% compared to the episode 9. And that’s not all. If the viewing services are added HBO Go and Now , that number rises to 3.6 million viewers. And the worst is that he’ll have to be patient. HBO announced that it will broadcast the second season in 2018. Here also the US balance of hearings this week with The Walking Dead, Westworld and Teen Wolf . What do you think of Season 1 of Westworld?

Westworld: The wink of the series Game of Thrones!

sivertime — Sat, 26 Nov 2016 11:08:34 +0000

Last Westworld was intense and it should not blink to not miss a nod to another HBO series, the famous Game of Thrones!

Have you seen it ? There is a reference to Game of Thrones in episode 8 of Westworld! While we were concerned about the fate of Elsie, wondering if she’s dead or not because of the flashback , we missed a nod to the other flagship series of HBO. GRR Martin wanted to do a crossover with the new series and we can say that we served . When Logan returns to stop William and Dolores in the 42nd minute of the episode can be seen on his new jacket a pin. This strangely resembles Hand of the King in the fantasy series. So certainly there is no hand on Logan but the resemblance is striking enough that this is not on purpose . Finally we hope. Because we would not have hallucinated this fleeting moment, we would not have affabulé the similarities between the two jewelry / objects. What do you think the meltynautes? What proudly Logan, played by Ben Barnes , on the chest is clearly the Hand of the King that Tyrion could lend the character of Westworld, right?
Anyway, after the surprise cameo in episode 6 of Westworld , we must look carefully in all the series by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. Both writers are playing with us distilling little moments like this everywhere in their series. Do they mean anything? There is still the question but if they do, it is that there must be a reason. It remains for us to wait until the last two episodes to see if this will impact or if it was just a small blink of eye friendly to Game of Thrones. What do you think?
