It’s a given that their Main Slate — the fresh, the recently buzzed-about, the mysterious, the anticipated — will be the New York Film Festival’s primary point of attraction for both media coverage and ticket sales. But while a rather fine lineup is, to these eyes, deserving of such treatment, the festival’s latest Revivals section — i.e. “important works from renowned filmmakers that have been digitally remastered, restored, and preserved with the assistance of generous partners,” per their press release — is in a whole other class, one titanic name after another granted a representation that these particular works have so long lacked.

The list speaks for itself, even (or especially) if you’re more likely to recognize a director than title. Included therein are films by Andrei Tarkovsky (The Sacrifice), Hou Hsiao-hsien (Daughter of the Nile, a personal favorite), Pedro Costa (Casa de Lava; trailer here), Jean-Luc Godard (the rarely seen,...

Rosa Barney can confidently pose in lingerie, but the curve model says she wasn’t always comfortable in her skin.

“When I was a kid, and even as a teenager, I always felt really out of place,” Barney, 27, tells People. “I was always the tallest kid in the class — taller than the boys. I was never small in any way, whether it was height or being bigger in the middle, and it was definitely something I was very self-conscious of. It wasn’t really until I was an adult, and actually the true turnaround was when I was approached to model,...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Big Little Lies” Episode 1, “Somebody’s Dead.”]

Madeline’s comin’, yo!

Ok, Ok, no one would ever say that on “Big Little Lies” (or probably even get the reference), but in a Baltimore-based version of HBO’s new mystery, can’t you imagine the other Monterrey moms warning one another every time Reese Witherspoon’s power mom came walking into school? Since the very first frames of Episode 1, Madeline dominates her world with an aura some may fear and others may covet.

But does that make her the killer or the killee? We weren’t given many hints toward the murderer or victim’s identity in the first hour of Jean-Marc Vallee’s new limited series, but that doens’t mean we’re lacking in theories. Below, we’ve taken each major character introduced in the premiere and broken down what we know about them, what we don’t, and what it might all mean toward the series’ larger mystery: Whodunnit?...

Prepare to meet Danny Fields. A music industry whiz kid who helped make punk rock, well, punk rock, Fields has lived a thousand lives since his rise in the ’60s. A music manager, publicist, journalist and author, Fields has done it all, even though he could have quite easily rested on certain career highlights like “signed and managed Iggy and the Stooges” or “signed the MC5” or “managed The Ramones” or “worked with Jim Morrison and The Velvet Underground.” And that’s just a taste of Fields’ wide-ranging career.

So what could possibly be next for Fields? How about his very own documentary? “Danny Says,” from filmmaker Brendan Toller, promises to deliver a full look at Fields’ live and legacy (as aided by the man himself), complete with something for both music industry veterans and newbies looking to see where it all began.

Giving Tinseltown a major testosterone boost, the cast of “The Expendables 3” showed up at the Tcl Chinese Theatre on Monday night (August 11).

“Rocky” stud Sylvester Stallone hammed it up with his brother Frank Stallone on the red carpet while Jason Statham paraded his lovely lady Rosie Huntington Whiteley before the paparazzi.

Furthermore, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mel Gibson both showed some love to fans while Kellan Lutz, Harrison Ford and Kelsey Grammer did a little catching up.

Also in the house were handsome hunks like Terry Crews, Antonio Bendaras, Wesley Snipes and Dolph Lundgren.

“The Expendables 3” is slated to hit theaters this Friday, August 15th. Per the synopsis, “Barney augments his team with new blood for a personal battle: to take down Conrad Stonebanks, the Expendables co-founder and notorious arms trader who is hell bent on wiping out Barney and every single one of his associates.”...

Bringing an end to his action-packed trilogy, Sylvester Stallone is back with “The Expendables 3” and the teaser trailer is nothing short of exhilarating.

Also starring Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mel Gibson, Randy Couture, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wesley Snipes, Harrison Ford, Kellan Lutz and Terry Crews, the sure-to-be-amazing flick is slated to explode into theaters on August 15th.

Per the synopsis, “Barney, Christmas and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks, who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought.”

“Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables — but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy.

Some details about "How I Met Your Mother's" spinoff "How I Met Your Dad" have leaked, and it's safe to say "Himym" fans will recognize their show in the new one.

What they won't see, though, is simply a gender-reversed copy of the original show. A casting breakdown of the lead characters on "How I Met Your Dad" shows a few key differences -- the most notable of which is that main character, i.e. the female Ted, begins the show as a married woman. Per TVLine, which first published the character sketches, here's who we'll meet if the spinoff from "Himym" creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas and "Up All Night's" Emily Spivey goes to series.

Sally: In her 20s but still not very grown-up and a little bit aimless, Sally has been married for a year to Gavin and is realizing they're not meant for each other.

The cast and creators of "How I Met Your Mother" took part in their final Television Critics Association press conference ever Wednesday night (Jan. 15) on the show's set -- and they were in a chatty mood.

Co-creator Craig Thomas shared with Zap2it and a handful of other outlets a whole lot of details on the show's final episodes, and his partner in comedy Carter Bays filled in some details as well. Read on for a list of which guest stars will be back in the final episodes, what those episodes are called and a few choice bits -- including an early contingency plan for the show's ending -- from the press conference. Spoilers abound, obviously.

The guest stars

Per Thomas, the following people are returning to "Himym" in the final episodes. Details filled in where we know them.

Tim Gunn as himself, Barney's (Neil Patrick Harris) wedding-weekend tailor.

It’s always fun when a bunch of testosterone-bound tough guys assemble to make a movie, and “The Expendables 3” promises to be a wild macho ride.

Starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kellan Lutz, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, and Jet Li, the third installment of the popular franchise is slated to explode into theaters on August 15th, 2014.

Per the synopsis, “Barney, Christmas, and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks , who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill… or so he thought.”

Becki Newton's guest arc on "How I Met Your Mother" must have gone pretty well, because she and the show's creators are working together again.

"Himym" creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas have received a pilot order from Fox for a comedy called "The Goodwin Games," and Newton ("Ugly Betty," "Love Bites") will star in it. Per EW, the show revolves around three siblings whose father leaves them a fortune, but only "if they agree to his terms." Fellow "How I Met Your Mother" executive producer Chris Harris is writing it with Bays and Thomas.

Newton has been a sought-after actress for the past couple of pilot seasons. She starred in a family comedy from "That '70s Show" veterans Jackie and Jeff Filgo for CBS last year, but it didn't go to series. She reportedly had several offers this time around as well.

Her run on "How I Met Your Mother" starts Monday (Feb.

Question: Can you give me some really good stuff about what is going to happen on Gossip Girl? —Saloni

Ausiello: Good stuff coming your way in 3, 2, 1… The show is pulling out “all the stops” for its milestone 100th episode in January, according to executive producer Josh Safran. “We want to honor the [fact] that it’s the 100th episode,” he says. “We know that we are very lucky to be coming by it, and...

We’re coming up to that point of the year, Roomies, where all the season finales are wrapping up and so is my will to take any more emotional abuse from showrunners. Kidding – and also not. Nonetheless, when the last major finales wrap up, it’ll be like opening the last present on Christmas Day. You’re satisfied…yet sad.

But fear not. Summer TV brings its bounty not too long after and we should rejoice in that. So please send your questions to me. And if you have any burning questions/general comments about any season finales, send those in,...

[Spoilers Abound, although What's Being Spoiled is Nothing]

Did Carter Bays and Craig Thomas really drop a Psyche bomb on us last night? Did they guide us all onto the red carpet only to pull it out from beneath us? It's not that I care, at this point, who Ted's future wife will be. Until there's an announcement that "Himym's" run is definitively ending, I don't expect it. But last night's episode, which had its sweet and funny moments -- all thanks to Marshall and Lily -- was both cruel and frustrating. Not only did it tease us with the potential identity of the mother of Ted's parents, it created an entirely new mystery: "How Barney Met His Wife."

But let's back up, and examine the entire season. Per "Himym" tradition, season six was fitful, alternating between great and mediocre episodes, which was at least an improvement over season five, which alternated between mediocre and bad episodes. The...

In a chronologically frenetic outing, even by "How I Met Your Mother" standards, "The Mermaid Theory" looks into the not-so-distant future where Lily (Alyson Hannigan) will be toting a full baby belly and Ted (Josh Radnor) triumphantly dons a dress. Per usual, "more on that later."

In the present, there's finally some exposition on "The Captain," Zoey's (Jennifer Morrison) inattentive, maritime-obsessed husband, played to schizophrenic perfection by  Kyle McLaughlin.

Zoey has officially wormed her way into the gang as of Blitzgiving, and though romance still seems far from both of their minds, she and Ted sort of accidentally find themselves on a date. Naturally, The Captain invites him on a boozy boat ride for two, which Ted assumes is a one-way trip... to his doom.

Other lessons learned:

We never really noticed, but Marshall (Jason Segel) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) aren't exactly friends. The two attempt to rectify their lack...

After a Ted-heavy plot did a decent job opening the season, How I Met Your Mother went to their closer to make sure there was no second episode slump this week.

On "Cleaning House," Barney got the party started with his Bronx Zoo story of monkey business and then Robin asks if anyone watched The Deadliest Catch last night. Lily covers her ears and yells, “spoiler alert!” A slave to my DVR, I am always doing the same thing until I can get caught up on recent shows.

Ted lost me on the whole underselling of his Karate Kid analogy. No fan of the 1984 hit, let alone someone who claims it is one of the best movies ever, would refer to John Kreese as merely “the Cobra Kai Sensei.” Great idea, poor execution Ted. Sort of like when Daniel Larusso tried the Crane kick against Chozen in Karate Kid Part...

The month of May brings many a season finale to our airwaves; over the last week or so, I have been recapping the finales a few of our favorite shows here at Collider, and using that as a jumping off point to discuss the direction of the season and the show as a whole. This Monday night, we got the 2-hour finale of NBC’s Chuck, as well as the season sendoffs for the CBS comedies How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.

Hit the jump for a spoiler-filled dissection of the finale and overall season arc of each show.

Chuck, “Chuck Versus the Subway” and “Chuck Versus the Ring Part II”

It will be difficult for Chuck to ever reach the heights it did in the last stretch of episodes of episodes of season two, but the creative team assembled some darn good efforts this season.

Do you know if the show plans to follow through on that? And, if so, does this mean Peter Jacobson and Olivia Wilde are leaving? —Mindy Ausiello: It certainly dawned on me. And it dawned on series creator David Shore — at least it did when I reminded him recently. He says he hasn't figured out what will happen to Taub and Thirteen after their fellowships expire. Luckily, time is on his side. "It won't be until the end of the season," he says, adding that it's not in his nature to gloss over such plot points. "I don't like those things to be fake-outs.
