“Chappie! Finally...

Los Angeles — The last four years have been a whirlwind for screenwriter Graham Moore. After seizing the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to tell the story of a childhood hero, his script based on Alan Turing's life — "The Imitation Game" — lit up the industry, landing at the top of The Black List (an annual compendium of hot unpublished screenplays). He was given the rare opportunity as a writer to see production all the way through as an Executive Producer, moving with the project in and out of the studio system, and in the mountains of Colorado last week, he witnessed the film catch fire after finally premiering at the Telluride Film Festival. Now the 32-year-old finds himself working alongside directors like Michael Mann and Marc Forster, living the dream after having the best possible alignment of stars on his first major industry experience. With "The Imitation Game" set for another big coming out...

Telluride — There are two reasons Andrew Hodges' biography of Alan Turing references "The Enigma" in its title. The first is in reference to the Engima machine, the legendary secret code the Nazis used during World War II, which was solved by a secret UK military division lead by Turing. The second is Turing himself. Known for his advancements in computer theory (look up Turing Machines), BBC News noted that Winston Churchill once referred to Turing as having made "the single biggest contribution to Allied victory in the war against Nazi Germany." Somehow he became a historical footnote until finally getting proper credit for his WWII accomplishments in the 1990s. Eventually he was pardoned for a "gross indecency" charge (which destroyed his life) by the Queen of England in 2013. He was a hero the Western world didn't know about for decades and in many ways the circumstances of his death...

Towleroad The Imitation Game (we just discussed the trailer) isn't the only Alan Turing focused artwork in the ether. The Pet Shop Boys just debuted their opera Breaking the Code (yes, opera) about the man.

Last night, Barrington Stage Company Bsc, the award-winning theatre in Downtown Pittsfield, Ma, under the leadership of Artistic Director Julianne Boyd and Managing Director Tristan Wilson, presented Breaking the Code, Hugh Whitemore's biographical drama of Alan Turing, starring Bsc Associate Artist Mark H. Dold. Directed by Joe Calarco, performances of Breaking the Code are from today, July 17 through August 2, with a press opening on Sunday, July 20 at 5pm. Broadwayworld was there for the opening.

I've been quite intrigued about Now You See Me since news of it first dropped. The cast is pretty sweet, and I like a good film about magicians. I just kind of like magicians in general even if shows like Breaking The Code reveal everything. The first trailer for the flick gave us an overview of what the story was about, but there was one key thing it didn't have a lot of-- the lovely Mélanie Laurent. She first caught fire to our hearts in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. However,...

Another week and another action-packed episode! There's a lot to cover this week and, unfortunately, despite the heartbreaks, the blackmail, and one very drunk Spencer, we still didn't get much closer to solving any of the show's mysteries.

"Breaking the Code" provided some really big pieces of evidence...but they didn't really lead anywhere yet.

Jonah only gives Aria and Spencer an address attached to an old burn phone used to text Alison. When the girls investigate the house, they just find a bunch of mail and old man staying in the abandoned home. Although Aria remarks, "at least we got something," I couldn't help but think, "yeah, very little." It was pretty frustrating until Hanna (strangely enough!) started investigating the name of the law firm on the mail. Her mother revealed that Melissa used to work as an intern at that firm until it closed down.

After watching the video Caleb sent to Hanna,...

Like some kind of mysterious octopus, A will continue to spread her tentacles on this Monday's new episode of Pretty Little Liars.

As depicted in the following sneak peeks at "Breaking the Code," viewers can look for A to make contact with Mona and with Aria's parents, expanding her harassment to include new targets in Rosewood. How will the girls react? What secrets are they afraid might come out?

We need to wait a few days for the answers, but check out the clues dropped in the clips below now:

Spencer flirts hardcore with Wren & more in ABC Family's "Pretty Little Liars" episode 21 of season 2. We've got spoilers for the show,along with 4 sneak peek,clips after the jump. The episode is titled, "Breaking The Code." In the new "Breaking the Code" episode, a surprising new victim of "A" is revealed,and the Pretty Little Liars' tight-knit group may just get one person larger. The question of A's motives will still be up in the air. Meanwhile, Spencer will run from her family troubles right into Wren's arms,and Ezra's new opportunity will end up pushing him away from Aria. Spencer is spotted majorly flirting with Wren. Aria is seen,getting into more major danger. A lot of the couples on this show,are seen,hooking up and making out hardcore. Spencer and Melissa have a long talk about not being able to trust their parents anymore. Hanna...

Caleb took center stage on Pretty Little Liars last night, as Hanna had to do a bit of hacking in order to save her man from the (evil?) police.

Next week, meanwhile, it looks like the action will Seriously heat up. At least according to one of the following two promos for "Breaking the Code."

On the episode ahead, Spencer will turn to Wren for comfort; A will find a new target; and Ezra will be given a new opportunity, but it could cause problems for him and Aria. Check out the U.S. and Canadian teasers now and remember to visit our updated Pretty Little Liars music section each week...

Pretty Little Liars Promo: "Breaking the Code"

Pretty Little Liars Canadian Teaser: "Breaking the Code"...

A couple familiar faces are popping back up in Rosewood on "Pretty Little Liars." First, on the Monday, Jan. 30 episode, Hanna's evil stepsister is back in town and starting school at Rosewood High. And she doesn't even have her friends to turn to, because Aria, Spencer and Emily are kind of giving her the cold shoulder.

What Hanna doesn't know, of course, is that it's because they went behind her back to keep working with Caleb. We're sure she'll be thrilled to find out.

And then on the Monday, Feb. 20 episode - Melissa's back and she's very pregnant. The episode description for "Breaking the Code" says that "a surprising new victim of 'A' is revealed ... the PLLs tight-knit group may just get one person larger."

Is it Melissa? We wonder. "Pretty Little Liars" airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. Et/Pt on ABC Family.

From Paul McCartney's 'death' to Nine Inch Nails' Timbaland-produced album, these pranks had music fans fooled.

If, by chance, you happen to read something Thursday (April 1) about Led Zeppelin reuniting or Jim Morrison coming out of hiding, don't believe it. As you're probably aware, it's April Fools' Day, and these kinds of things have a way of happening. Why, on this very day last year, Kid Rock announced he had acquired the naming rights to the Detroit Tigers' stadium, and Coldplay declared they were recording their next album in zero gravity.

Of course, none of it ended up being true, and both acts added their names to the ever-growing list of some of music's greatest tricksters. It seems that bands have been at this kind of thing for decades now, so we figured that now was as good...
