Episode Six - “Piggy Piggy"


We finally see what happened with Tate and the school shooting years ago. After Violet confirms online that Tate was killed after his massacre (shot by a SWAT team in the house), Constance introduces her to a medium, Billie Dean (Sarah Paulson) and she and Constance explain that Tate is unaware he is dead. Constance has been sending him to Ben, hoping a breakthrough will help him pass on and they need Violet’s help, though Violet is shaken by the revelation.

Ben needs to use the house for his therapy sessions to make them money, and Vivien agrees out of necessity. Ben sees a new patient, Derek (Eric Stonestreet), who is terrified by the urban legend of “Piggy Man”, who will slaughter anyone who repeats a specific line in the mirror (think Bloody Mary yet more disturbing especially since we get a jump scare view of him). Ben also begins noticing that Vivien has developed a personal relationship with the security officer.

Constance and Moira help Vivien with the pregnancy, preparing healthy foods for her in the form of sweetbreads and other organ meats. Though initially disgusted with the dishes, Vivien develops a ravenous appetite toward them, which disturbs her. She contacts the ultrasound technician who fainted during the ultrasound, who has quit her job and claims she saw that the baby was the Anitchrist.

Taking Ben’s advice to face his fear, Derek repeats the Piggy Man lines in his bathroom mirror, but is ironically shot and killed by an armed robber hiding in his shower. Violet tries to confront Tate in the basement, but is mobbed by the other ghosts. Overwhelmed, she attempts suicide, but Tate saves her. Tate tearfully confesses that he loves her and cannot understand why she has turned cold toward him. He plans to leave her alone, but she comforts him. Constance speaks to Addie through Billie, and receives closure, but learns that Addie is glad she was not revived as a ghost and that she now fears Tate, knowing what he did.

The Spot News: New Brave Photos

The Spot News: New Brave Photos

Disney-Pixar has released new stills from Brave, the upcoming Highland fantasy from directors Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman.

Starring Kelly Macdonald as the voice of Merida, Brave is set in the Scottish Highlands, where an unruly princess defies an ancient custom and inadvertently brings turmoil to her father’s kingdom. To set everything right, Merida must discover the meaning of true bravery to lift the terrible curse.

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In Brave, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.

Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

Brave opens on June 22, 2012.

Lionsgate has released the first full-length trailer for The Hunger Games, director Gary Ross’ eagerly awaited adaptation of the first book in Suzanne Collins’ wildly popular sci-fi series.

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Opening March 23, The Hunger Games stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Wes Bentley, Toby Jones, Amandla Stenberg, Alexander Ludwig, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jacqueline Emerson, Paula Malcomson, Dayo Okeniyi, Jack Quaid, Leven Rambin, Willow Shields and Lenny Kravitz.

Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather (Dwayne Johnson) joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever.

I was ready to just write this off as a run of the mill teen version of Snow White. But after seeing this trailer I have to take it back. This looks like it could be such a awesome take on the Snow White story.

Episode Five - “Halloween (Part 2)”

The Rubberman disappears and Tate appears, convincing Violet to go out on their date. After getting a call from Violet and learning she is safe, Vivien allows her to stay out. Ben finds and attacks Larry, believing that Hayden’s murder was staged and both are attempting to extort him. He threatens to kill Larry if he sees him again. Tate and Violet spend their date on the beach and Tate tells her how high school was terrible for him.

Five mangled, bloody teens appear and harass Tate, prompting the couple to leave. After reiterating her desire for Ben to leave, Vivien prepares a bath. Hayden calls her and tells her to ask Ben about Boston. Her message appears on a steamed mirror and Vivien tells Ben that Hayden is in their house. Ben finds her in the basement, but Larry knocks him out with the shovel and ties him up, planning to burn the house down while Hayden deals with Vivien. As Larry prepares to burn the house, Chad intervenes. Meanwhile, Nora unties Ben, urging him to save his child. Hayden appears to Vivien and both are shocked to learn that the other is pregnant with Ben’s child. Hayden attacks her with a shard of glass, but is stopped by Ben, who is forced to admit that he impregnated Hayden months after Vivien discovered the affair.

Outside, the teens find Tate and Violet, but Tate protects Violet by making them chase him. Constance grabs Violet and takes her to her house, revealing that Addie is dead and that Tate is her son. A patrol officer (Morris Chestnut) arrives, hearing the house alarm and arrests Hayden. The teens catch up with Tate at the beach and are revealed to be ghosts from various cliques at Westview High who were killed when Tate seemingly committed a school shooting about seventeen years ago. The ghosts angrily demand to know why he killed them and that he admit what he did, but Tate cannot remember anything about them. With Halloween night ending, the teens depart. The other ghosts including Moira, Chad, Patrick, and Nora warily return to the house discussing their time away. After discussing the nature of love with the officer, Hayden disappears from his car. Ben packs and sadly leaves the house.

So ends a really odd and crazy episode of American Horror Story. This show gets better and better with each episode.
