Royal Marine A.J Budd (Joseph Morgan – Vampire Diaries, Immortals) awakes in a mysterious house.

The Captive doesn’t offer you explanations. You wake up with A.J Budd in the house and you are left as much in the proverbial (and sometimes literal) dark as he is. I...

English newcomer, Luke Massey is aiming to make a name for himself, and he’s doing so by delivering what looks to be a guttural flick that pits man versus something else entirely. Although green in the cinematic realm, Massey seems intent on leaving a lasting impression, as he’s got two feature films tapped for release this year; the other being a drama, 500 Miles North.

Fair warning: I didn't actually like tonight's episode of "The Vampire Diaries", titled "All My Children." It should definitely be noted that in a broad sense, this was still a great episode of television, but it didn't live up to the standards we've come to expect of this show.
There were two major problems. First of all, a lack of satisfying follow-up after the mess Elena left behind her last week made for a rough start.
