In the bleached light of the Southern California sun, a man of God resides in a place of commerce. Rabbi Mo Zaltzman shepherds his flock from the impermanence of a strip-mall temple, his existence a quiet study in faith awaiting a more solid foundation.

The desert landscape itself seems to hold its breath, a vast emptiness promising either revelation or ruin. The film introduces this man of gentle certitude, this community built on text and tradition, only to watch its world crack open.

A gala meant to celebrate a future sanctuary becomes its desecration. A gunshot rings out, a clean, sharp tear in the fabric of the evening, and a benefactor falls. In the aftermath, society scrambles for a simple narrative, a comprehensible evil. It finds one in a boy, a vessel for an ancient hatred.

The police offer this explanation, and the community accepts the solace of a story they understand.

The pistol-packin’ padre is not an unknown figure in Westerns — particularly 1960s European “spaghetti” Westerns — but you’d be hard-pressed to name movies which cast their rabbinical brethren in a similar action-figure mode. “Guns & Moses” exploits just that novelty as its primary hook, complete with an advertising image of the bearded, fedora-topped hero brandishing firepower over the slogan “May God and Your Glock Protect You.”

Punning title aside, Salvador Litvak’s film promises a serious look at antisemitic violence, inspired by the 2019 shooting (which killed one person and injured three more) at Chabad of Poway Synagogue in San Diego County. Alas, the convoluted screenplay written by the director and spouse Nina Litvak bears little resemblance to that real-world incident, locates the criminal motivation well outside the realm of antisemitism, and somewhat awkwardly attempts to balance straight suspense with a persistent comedic streak.

Not everyone may be obsessed with the era of sequels and reboots, but at least fans get to see their favorite classics return in an all-new form, usually with the original stars, on either small or large screens, or even both. One such classic is the bewitching 1998 pic Practical Magic, which is getting the sequel treatment but won’t be released till the fall of 2026. While fans eagerly anticipate, we have a major casting update, which comes not long after two major returnees joined the enchanting sequel.

So far, a few original stars have already been confirmed to reprise their roles in Practical Magic 2, including the leading duo, Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, who portray sisters Sally and Gilly Owens. And just last weekend, Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing were announced as returnees too, playing the Owens aunts, Jet and Franny. With the latest addition, many wondered if Evan Rachel Wood...

Neal McDonough is known for playing tough guys and straight shooters, from Yellowstone and Suits to Justified and Tulsa King. But in Guns & Moses, the upcoming neo-Western thriller hitting theaters July 18, McDonough plays a very different kind of character — and he’s got a lot to say about the film’s message.

Set in a dusty desert town rocked by a shocking act of violence, Guns & Moses follows Rabbi Mo Zaltzman (played by Royal Pains’ Mark Feuerstein) as he tries to unravel the truth behind a deadly shooting at a gala.

The film also features a stacked cast including Dermot Mulroney as the targeted solar entrepreneur Alan Rosner, Mercedes Mason as his mysterious wife, and Christopher Lloyd, in a yet-to-be-undisclosed role. Paulo Costanzo, Michael B. Silver, Alona Tal, Jake Busey, and Gabrielle Ruiz round out the ensemble.

Evan Rachel Wood has announced that she will not be reprising her role for Practical Magic 2.

On Friday (July 11), the 37-year-old actress revealed that she will not be in the upcoming sequel to the 1998 movie starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman.

“I am getting asked about this a lot, so I’ll just clear it up now,” Evan wrote on her Instagram Story. “I was not asked to come back and be in the #PracticalMagical sequel.”

Keep reading to find out more…“I offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line,” she continued. “I was told they are re-casting. I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice.”

In the first movie, Evan played Kylie Owens, the eldest daughter of Sally Owens (Bullock) who goes to live with her...

Once a great show or movie ends, we are sometimes drawn into a consistent search for more content within that particular universe. This is the case for fans of the USA Network series, Psych, which stars James Roday Rodriguez and Dulé Hill. The show ran from 2006 to 2014 and followed Rodriguez as fan-favorite fake psychic Shawn Spencer and Hillas his best friend Burton “Gus” Guster. The success of the series saw the advent of several sequels, including Psych: The Moviein 2017, Psych 2: Lassie Come Homein 2020, and Psych 3: This Is Gusin 2021, which were both released by Peacock. There have long been conversations about another installment with Psych 4, and one of the franchise stars has ideas on how the story might progress.

Besides the sequels, cast members Timothy Omundson and Maggie Lawson, in 2021, started their podcast called The Psychologists Are In: A Psych Rewatch. It has been crystal clear that the interest...

Mark Feuerstein is a rabbi who's coming after anti-Semitism with guns blazing in the new trailer for Guns & Moses. Neal McDonough, Christopher Lloyd, and Dermot Mulroney also star in this neo-Western thriller. The film will be released exclusively in theaters on July 18.

As the trailer opens, Mo Zaltzman is the rabbi of a synagogue in a remote desert community that's about to be revitalized by a new solar power project spearheaded by businessman Alan Rosner with the full support of Mayor Donovan Kirk. However, the town's happiness is shattered by a violent attack on the temple, which is seemingly perpetrated by a local neo-Nazi, Clay Gibbons. Gibbons and his father Owen, maintain Clay's innocence, while, with the encouragement of his wife, Mo starts carrying a gun. But all is not as it seems, and as Rabbi Zaltzman starts digging into the case, it seems that there's much more at play than a lone racist.

Amid a proliferation of antisemitic acts of terror in the United States — last month alone saw two Israeli embassy staffers shot dead in D.C. and 15 Jews burned, some severely, by a man wielding a makeshift flamethrower in Colorado — comes a controversial new thriller.

Guns & Moses presents a scenario where American Jews arm themselves and fight back.

Despite a jokey title, the trailer, debuting exclusively with The Hollywood Reporter, suggests a dead-serious and violent revenge story sure to enrage critics of Israel’s deadly military campaign in Gaza — itself provoked by the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas ambush that killed 1,200 Israeli civilians. Israel’s recent attacks on Iran and the potential of U.S. involvement in the conflict will only serve to heighten the controversy.

“This film is more than a story — it’s a conversation we need to be having,” says Guns & Moses director Salvador Litvak in a statement. “Every...

Nicole Kidman’s got a lot of horsing around in her future.

The Emmy- and Oscar-winning actress will star in and executive produce Girls and Their Horses, which is in development at Prime Video, our sister site Variety reports. Based on Eliza Jane Brazier’s 2023 novel, the series is a murder-mystery set in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. Per the official logline, the plot “follows the newly wealthy Parker family as they aim to position their teenage daughters in the rarified, sometimes deadly world of competitive horse racing.”

Exclusive: Mark Feuerstein has joined the cast of Courtney A. Kemp and Tani Marole’s new Netflix series, Nemesis, in a recurring role.

He will not return as Steven Ott from the Power franchise, which Kemp created; instead, he will play Sam Morrow, a high-powered attorney and total shark willing to toe the ethical line in the name of protecting his clients. Steven and Sam may not be the same guy, but they certainly have some things in common.

Feuerstein is the second Power star to join Nemesis, following Shane Johnson’s casting in April. It’s as yet unknown if Johnson and Feuerstein may share any scenes.

Mark Feuerstein is a rabbi hunting down a killer in the new Collider-exclusive trailer for Guns & Moses. The neo-Western thriller also stars Neal McDonough, Dermot Mulroney, and Christopher Lloyd. It will be released in theaters on July 18, 2025, by Pictures From The Fringe and Concourse Media. In the trailer for the film, Feuerstein is Mo Zaltzman, a rabbi in a small desert town that's rocked by a shocking act of violence: a shooting at a gala honoring solar entrepreneur Alan Rosner (Mulroney), seemingly motivated by anti-Semitism.

A local skinhead is picked up for the crime, but Mo becomes increasingly convinced that he's innocent. He begins looking into suspects, including the mayor (McDonough), Rosner's mysterious wife (Mercedes Mason) and troubled brother (Michael B. Silver), a scientist whose career Rosner destroyed (Paulo Costanzo), and even Rosner himself. Meanwhile, Mo takes firearms training himself for self-defense...and just in time, too, as the...

It’s been close to a decade since the Royal Pains series finale marked the end of a very sunny (the “blue sky era”) time in television, but now HankMed is coming back to heal us all again.

"Prison Break" was one of the most popular shows of the early 00s, and recently got a second life thanks to streaming. It's a show that — like "24" and "Lost" — helped popularize serialized narratives in network TV. Instead of standalone episodes that made it easy for casual viewers to dip in and out, "Prison Break" told an ongoing story where every episode directly built up to the next one. This forced viewers to keep tuning in every single week expecting actual resolutions to the story.

The show follows two brothers, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) and Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), whose lives are upended after Lincoln is wrongfully accused of murdering the vice president's brother. When Lincoln is quickly sentenced to death and incarcerated in a high security prison, Michael takes it upon himself to commit armed robbery to get sentenced to the same prison as his brother.

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for Practical Magic.

When Practical Magic first hit theaters on October 16, 1998, it received mixed reviews and didnt break even on its budget, but over the years, it developed a cult following that helped it become known as one of the best witch movies. Beyond the interesting story about a family curse, magic, and romance, part of what keeps people returning to Practical Magic is its star cast which includes Sandra Bullock as Sally Owens and Nicole Kidman as Gillian Owens. At its core, Practical Magic is about sisterhood, with Bullock and Kidman developing great chemistry.

Unfortunately, it was the only time the two stars shared the big screen, which made it even more special. With Practical Magic 2 recently announced, Kidman and Bullock will hopefully reunite onscreen as the Owens sisters. Little has been revealed about the sequel yet, but Practical Magic is worth the...

Now that Monet Tejada (Mary J.

Practical Magic producer Denise Di Novi has opened up about the upcoming sequel to 1998s romance fantasy movie. Despite initially receiving mixed reviews, the film went on to become a cult classic among fans due to its timely themes.

During a recent interview with People, Di Novi assured that Practical Magic 2 would honor the legacy and themes of the original movie, while delivering something different for fans to enjoy. She stressed that the sequels creative team is adamant on retaining the things that people had loved from the first installment. "I think the big mistake people make with sequels is when they kind of want to reinvent the wheel and be totally original and surprise people that it's different or whatever," Di Novi said. "[The team] gets how important the first movie is to so many people, women in particular, and we want to honor that for sure."

“We like crime shows, at least some of us do,” writer and producer Chris Brancato told IndieWire. “We like gangster shows. We like watching people do the things that we would never do ourselves. And yet, they’ve all been done a million times.”

His own oeuvre seems to support that — but only at first glance. The creator of “Narcos,” “Godfather of Harlem,” and now MGM+’s “Hotel Cocaine” would seem to have found a very buzzy (buzzed?) niche for himself as the prestige crime saga guy. But there’s more going on than just blow.

With “Narcos,” Brancato insisted to Netflix that the actors speak in Spanish, just as the real-life characters did. And “Godfather of Harlem” opened itself up to him once he discovered that Malcolm X was friends with crime boss Bumpy Johnson. And with “Hotel Cocaine,” he takes audiences on a bumpy ride from the highs...

Get ready for a brilliant psychological thriller from Apple TV+ in its latest series, Lady in the Lake. Created by Alma Har’el, the Apple TV+ series is based on the 2019 novel of the same name by author Laura Lippman. Lady in the Lake has brilliant performances from its two leading actors and a thrilling story that will have you glued to your screens.

Lady in the Lake is set in 1960s Baltimore and it follows the story of Maddie Schwartz, an investigative journalist as she ditches her overbearing husband to pursue her career and work on the murder case of two mysterious separate killings, which brings her in conflict with a woman working to advance the agenda of the city’s Black community.

Created by Alma Har’el and adapted from Laura Lippman’s crime novel of the same name, Lady in the Lake draws inspiration from two real-life murder cases in 1960s Baltimore. Maddie Schwartz (Natalie Portman), a middle-class mother in an unfulfilling marriage, serves as a bridge between the contrasting social worlds of the two victims: an 11-year-old Jewish girl, Tessa Durst (Bianca Belle), and an unidentified Black woman who investigators believe may be Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), a missing mother of two.

In the opening episode, Tessa disappears while attending a Thanksgiving parade with her parents. Drawn by her fascination with seahorses, the young girl wanders into a tropical fish store, where she encounters the creepy manager, Stephan Zawadzkie (Dylan Arnold), and a Black customer, Reggie Robinson (Josiah Cross). These early episodes, marked by the uncertainties of Tessa’s death, set the stage for the show’s intrigue involving the central mystery.

Drug trafficking stories aren't new in the TV and movie world -- but Hotel Cocaine makes all the violence and debauchery feel new again. The MGM+ series has every reason to be all sizzle and no steak; it's playing in a familiar genre, it's set against the gregarious backdrop of Miami in the even more gregarious period of the 1970s, and it's yet another TV show based on a true story. Yet ironically because he's done this sort of thing before, creator Chris Brancato navigates every pitfall and lets an all-star cast blow the doors off.

Hotel Cocaine is centered on the Mutiny Hotel, an infamous Miami landmark that was popularized by the almost-rebooted movie Scarface, where it was represented as "the Babylon Club.

“Every pleasure has a price,” Roman Compte tells us at the top of Hotel Cocaine, MGM+’s new drama about the rise of coke in late-1970s Miami. And by the end of the hour, we know exactly how high those prices will rise for Roman and his family.

But let’s back up a minute. As Roman (played by Law & Order: Svu‘s Danny Pino) explains via voiceover, he’s the general manager of the Mutiny Club and Hotel, a coke-fueled disco full of pretty people and celebrities. Even though Miami is ruled by drug kingpins who hold fast to their territories,...

Hotel Cocaine premieres tonight at 9/8c on MGM+.

The series tosses us back to the glitz, glamour, and high-profile crime of Miami in 1978.

It highlights the Latino influence on our culture and our values, but not in the way that you might think.

For this series, creator and executive producer Chris Brancato and executive producer and director Guillermo Navarro use the background we know so well to highlight a sense of family and commitment that sours through the community.

We talked with them and the cast to get a thorough understanding of the series, which we have seen almost in its entirety.
