5 Great Things For This Weekend

1. 'The Walking Dead': Did the show go too far? Robert Kirkman wasn't kidding when he said Sunday's episode is the one you 'absolutely' have to watch. The controversial scenes depicted last week have driven everyone into a frenzy. Let’s just say we won't be looking at flowers anytime soon.

'Game of Thrones' producers: George R.R. Martin's secret ending is 'absolutely' satisfying -- EXCLUSIVE Show’s producers tell EW they know where author’s going with the story – and they’re excited! As for predictions season 4 will be the best yet? “I wouldn’t say we’re too confident. I would say we’re terrified that it won’t be.”
Lena Dunham on Woody Allen: He nauseates me Woody Allen has been under a lot of scrutiny after Dylan Farrow’s accusations of abuse. Despite Girls star’s work being compared to Allen's, see why she told Marc Maron on his podcast she hasn't been a fan of the Blue Jasmine writer-director

IN THEATERS THIS WEEKEND
Divergent Woodley, I'm glad to say, is a lot more recognizably human, and that goes for her acting too. Her character, Tris, spends most of the film learning to leap and toss knives and risk death like a badass, and when she puts those skills to the test battling her society's corrupt leaders, there's no doubt that she's a superior, market-tested YA role model, like Katniss in The Hunger Games. But she is also, as Woodley plays her, an intensely vulnerable and relatable character. B+ – *Owen Gleiberman*
Bad Words Bateman's directorial debut, is seeing him play a stone-cold misanthropic SOB, the type of man who will calmly tell you to get the hell out of his face, then toss in a gratuitous insult and really mean it, because he's on a mysterious angry mission. (The insults are first-rate, thanks to Andrew Dodge's script.) A- – Owen Gleiberman
Veronica Mars The film is set nine years after the show ended, and it takes the young sleuth played by Kristen Bell as a perky but alienated straight shooter and turns her into a full-fledged adult who must decide if her heart is still in the game of unsolved mysteries. Of course it is. B – *Owen Gleiberman*
