It's hard not to credit this weekend's complete success of the premiere episode of "Boardwalk Empire" (come on, it was renewed for a second season after just one episode) to the stream of gangster-style television shows and movies that are now being publicly sought after. The most exciting of these is easily the series version of "Goodfellas" that Deadline announced yesterday.
Considering "Goodfellas" director Martin Scorsese's involvement in "Boardwalk Empire," it's hard not to imagine that he might be willing to work on a televised version of his hit crime drama. However, the fact he is so involved in "Boardwalk Empire" might also be a major detriment to his involvement with "Goodfellas," because they could potentially become competing shows.

'Inception' Gets Us Thinking About Other Awesome Dream Sequences
Posted 7/16/10 3:43 pm EST by Adam Rosenberg in Commentary
"Inception" is out today. You know this. I've been crowing about it all day. All week. The whole Internet has. It is freaking fantastic. Some critics disagree, and that's cool. In my own opinion though, it is director Christopher Nolan's finest effort to date.

Film and TV is rife with cool dream sequences, but the ones featured in "Inception" definitely carve their own unique space in the realm of such things.
Still, there are some classic dream sequences out there. A few of which I've chosen to highlight in this blog post as my favorites. Read on, then share your own in the comments section below! Read More...
