This post contains spoilers from Smoke season 1 episode 2 from this point forward.

In the second of two episodes of Smoke made available this week, we get a major shakeup. In the pilot, we seemed to be tracking toward a fairly normal police procedural. But this series, from Dennis Lehane, isn’t about what you expect. With this second episode, “Your Happy Makes Me Sad,” we start to see the long game. Let’s dive into a twisty encore.

The manhunt continues in episode 2

As we begin the episode, there are still two serial arsonists. And it seems that both Dave (Taron Egerton) and Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) have made some headway on a different case. Dave managed to track our milk jug arsonist back to the restaurant where his last victims had a date night. Seems seeing other people happy bothers him and fuels his rage. Thanks to the leg work,...

This post contains spoilers from Smoke season 1 episode 1 from this point forward.

Over the past few years, Apple TV+ has shown a knack for attracting top talent. That factors both into casts and into the crews that produce shows. We certainly have that working for us with Smoke, a new limited series that debuted on Friday, June 27 on the platform. We got the first two episodes released Friday with the rest of the nine-episode season dropping weekly.

The series draws its inspiration from the Podcast Firebug, which was based on the crimes of John Leonard Orr. This new series, created by Dennis Lehane, is a fictionalized tale drawing inspiration from real life. It pairs him with star Taron Egerton, who was the star of Lehane’s 2022 Apple TV+ miniseries Black Bird. Lehane is a talented crime writer, with a decorated history of novels, short stories, TV series, and films. He plies his skill here,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the When Calls the Heart Season 12 premiere “The Mountie Way.”] When Calls the Heart ended last season on a shocking cliffhanger: Superintendent Hargraves (David James Lewis) interrupted Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) and Nathan (Kevin McGarry) to reveal he had news about her late husband, Jack. And while at first what it ends up being doesn’t seem to be anything major, it soon becomes clear that it could mean trouble for the new couple down the line. The When Calls the Heart Season 12 premiere doesn’t waste any time in revealing just what Hargraves has to say. Though he tries to dismiss Nathan, Elizabeth insists he stay. “I’m here because recently, a road crew began excavating at the site of the rock slide where Jack…,” Hargraves explains. “They found something I think you’ll want to have.” He gives her Jack’s commissioner’s medal, the highest Mountie honor. “No exaggeration...

Science fiction has long been a source of some of the most thought-provoking films in Hollywood, focusing on everything from artificial intelligence to alien invasions. With a long list of visionary creators at the helm, from Ridley Scott to James Cameron, the genre continues to deliver for fans around the world. While many of these movies are typically made with mainstream audiences in mind, there's also no shortage of more mature sci-fi films, whose themes land them an R rating.

R-rated science fiction often deals with more realistic and disturbing aspects of science fiction, addressing topics like dystopia, disastrous experiments, and full-blown horror. At the same time, these films also typically make for the most creative and imaginative uses of the genre, refusing to hold back in their exploration of fantastical ideas. For these reasons and more, a good R-rated science fiction film can stand alongside the best films in cinematic history.

Hallmark Channel When Calls The Heart spoilers tease even though Jack Thornton’s (Daniel Lissing) character was written off, his impact is still evident and the people of Hope Valley often mention him.

There has always been a glimmer of hope among fans that he might make a comeback in some form, and with the Season 11 finale cliffhanger, it seemed it could happen.

When Calls The Heart Spoilers – Is Jack Thornton Coming Back?

After the Season 11 finale wrapped up on June 23, fans are buzzing with excitement over the possibility of Jack making a return to When Calls the Heart. The theories circulating among fans are truly intriguing.

In the final moments of the episode, Elizabeth Thornton (Erin Krakow) and Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry) found themselves face to face with Superintendent Hargraves (David James Lewis).

Hargraves, who was Nathan’s commanding officer at Fort Clay and the one who benched him...

Wcth Season 11 has one more episode left. This is entitled “Anything For Love.” The series co-creator Brian Bird has already shared with Hearties that this season will be a cliffhanger.

Since then, these devoted fans have surmised what that could be. Last season, the cliffhanger was that Lucas was shot. What possible clues do fans think lead to hints that may lead to a connection with Jack Thornton in the cliffhanger finale?

Here is what has been shared now.

Back in April, Wcth co-creator Brian Bird spoke with The Christophers Blog. He shared that there will be a major cliffhanger at the end of Season 11. Moreover, he is sure that it will “sustain hunger for the show.” Bird has gone on record that he wants the Hallmark series to...

The Movie: "The Comedy"

Where You Can Stream It: Peacock

The Pitch: Rick Alverson is known for eschewing traditional modes of storytelling and narrative, and his filmography is basically one extended effort to subvert audience expectations and supply an alternative to mainstream cinema. His most recent film, "The Mountain," continues that project. But for me, the high point came in 2012 with "The Comedy" — a movie "about movies," according to Alverson. And when it debuted to the Sundance crowds that year, some folks were, shall we say, less than impressed.

The movie focuses on Swanson, played by alt comedy legend Tim Heidecker. The 30-something Brooklynite is completely disconnected from the world around him. He drifts through New York City in a...

This article contains major spoilers for "M3GAN" and "Child's Play."

Ever since "The Twilight Zone" introduced the world to Talky Tina, the killer toy has become one of horror's most reliable antagonists. Out of the woodwork came slasher villains like Annabelle ("The Conjuring"), Billy ("Dead Silence"), and Blade ("Puppet Master"), but as of this moment, the world has been rightfully overtaken by "M3GAN" fever. Her incredible dance skills, coupled with her mischievous personality, have propelled the sassy murderer to a prominent spot among the killer doll hall of fame. M3GAN slays in every sense of the word.

It got me thinking of what movie would pair the best with "M3GAN" for a thematic double bill. /Film's William Bibbiani made a compelling argument for Wes Craven's "Deadly Friend," which would definitely make a fun companion piece. But for this double feature, I have a more recognizable title in mind. The...

A new episode of The Black Sheep video series has arrived online this morning, and with this one we’re looking back at director Steve Miner‘s 1999 killer crocodile horror comedy Lake Placid (watch it Here). To find out why we think Lake Placid deserves more love than it gets, check out the video embedded above!

Scripted by David E. Kelley, Lake Placid tells the following story: When a mysterious creature violently kills a man in a Maine lake, Jack Wells, the local game warden, looks into the bizarre case, along with Sheriff Hank Keough and visiting paleontologist Kelly Scott. Looking for clues in a tooth that the beast left behind, Kelly and the others eventually locate the monster, a massive and vicious reptile eager to devour anything in its path. Can the crocodile-like creature be stopped?

The film stars Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Brendan Gleeson, Oliver Platt, Betty White,...

Ross Kemp has said that David James’s knowledge of cats in the new series of Bridge of Lies left his “jaw on the floor”.

The show, which became a hit daytime quiz series after it first came out in March 2022, returns in a new Saturday night slot on BBC One, with teams of celebrity contestants competing for the first time.

Actor and TV presenter Kemp, best known for playing Grant Mitchell EastEnders and presenting documentaries, including Ross Kemp on Gangs, returns to host the show.

The 58-year-old said the series has “glammed up a bit” but that he still considers himself Little Mr Saturday Night rather than Mr Saturday Night.

Kemp said he “laughed the most” while filming the third episode of the show with the stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK – Lawrence Chaney, Tia Kofi, Kitty Scott-Claus and The Vivienne.

He said: “To be honest, a lot...

I Am a Killer is now in its fourth season. A doc-series that puts death row inmates on center stage. The inmates chronicle their lives, to ultimately revisit what led them to commit the murders. Witnesses, family members to the victims and advocates alike are also interviewed.

A series that is right up the alley of true crime fans.

In six episodes real life crimes are analyzed, and relayed using archive and found footage, as well as interviews with the convicted murderers.

‘I Am A Killer’ is considered one of the best doc-series in the true crime genre, as it goes above and beyond the sordid details, which true enough, it does cover, but it also covers the narratives of the people involved in the terrible tragedies it addresses.

Episode List – Season 4 of ‘I Am A Killer” Family Matters

A murderer recounts the crime that ended one life and ruined his own.

More than 12 people have now accused Law & Order: Svu showrunner David Graziano of bullying, sexual harassment and workplace misconduct.

“[He] is s a very unprofessional, ego-centric, and immature man,” script coordinator Haley Cameron wrote on an industry listserv. “I have been in this industry a long time, and I have never experienced such pure, white-male misogyny.”

Cameron left Svu soon after Graziano took leadership. “I urge you — especially women — to think twice before putting yourself in a position that could end as badly as mine did,” she advised industry folks.

A script coordinator for the dramatic series Coyote, Amy Hartman, reportedly added her own Graziano complaint on the same platform. “Graz is super toxic and I’ve never run from a job so fast in my life as I did when I Sc’ed for him. Stay away,” she warned.

“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” may be looking into the internal affairs of its own showrunner.

Writer-producer David Graziano, who oversees the hit NBC series, was at the center of a Los Angeles Times report alleging a toxic workplace environment. More than a dozen people accused Graziano of mistreating colleagues, making inappropriate comments towards women and people of color, and having a bad temper. Allegations against Graziano cite events spanning over a decade.

The exposé was published the same day as “Svu” star Kelli Giddish’s final episode aired, with Giddish’s exit rumored to be due to salary disputes with series creator Dick Wolf.

“Law & Order: Svu” stars Mariska Hargitay as Captain Olivia Benson, the leader of a Special Victims Unit in New York City that investigates sex crimes. The beloved procedural has been airing for 24 seasons.

Producer-director Michael Curtiz’s femme fatale noir has a lot going for it — high production values, VistaVision, and new film talent in Tom Tryon, Carol Ohmart, Elaine Stritch & Jody Lawrance. Excellent location shooting and a Nat King Cole song provide authentic Los Angeles atmosphere. But the storyline is ten years out of date. The advertising promoted Ms. Ohmart as a new ’50s sex symbol. She may have caught fire, but the show didn’t.

Soccer Aid for Unicef 2022, broadcast live and exclusively on ITV and Stv last week from the London Stadium, has raised a record-breaking £15,673,728 so far for Unicef’s vital work giving children around the world the care-free, play filled childhoods they are entitled to.

This record-breaking amount was raised thanks to the generous support of the UK public, ITV and Stv viewers, and The Power of Nutrition who have matched donations up to £4 million, meaning double the difference for children. This figure has smashed last year’s record total for money raised on the night.

The hotly anticipated match took place at the sold-out London Stadium with 54,410 fans in attendance, 10 years on from the London 2012 Summer Olympics. The match ended 4-1 on penalties to Soccer Aid World XI, taking them into the overall lead with 6-5 wins since the inaugural 2006 match. Unicef Goodwill Ambassador, David Beckham OBE presented the Soccer Aid...
