Despite the snow that just pounded my town today in furious squalls, summer is just around the corner.

And what says summer better than a rousing beach comedy?

It wasn't only interest in getting back in the water that turned me on to Hot Water.

Over the last year, I've come into a wealth of knowledge about jet skis, yet I've never been aboard. It turns out that Hot Water provides plenty of simulated jetski action. But that's not all.

Hot Water takes your mind off of your societal woes for a while.

The flick is written and directed by Larry Rippenkroeger, a successful stuntman with 26 years in the profession behind him, ten of which he was Bruce Willis' personal stunt double, who also happened to have a previous career as a -- you guessed it -- a pro jet skier!

Hot Water's logline is "The hilarious misadventures of...

Does it get any more festive than snow in New York? I know many, many people have the lifelong dream of spending Christmas in the Big Apple and I have to admit that it is a dream that I also share! The closest I am probably ever going to get to this dream was the opening moments of the new Netflix original series Dash and Lily which involves a panning camera which showing the classic New York buildings complete with snow falling from the sky!

Dash and Lily follows all the conventions of your classic teenage ‘relatable’ series; for example the contrast between Dash who hates Christmas with a passion, against Lily who loves the festive period.

We’ve got questions, and you’ve (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including NCIS: Los Angeles, The Bachelorette, Chicago Fire and Law & Order: Svu!

Merry early Christmas: Netflix dropped the trailer for its upcoming holiday rom-com series “Dash & Lily” Friday, giving you a taste of the magical relationship Lily (Midori Francis) and Dash (Austin Abrams) will form one Christmas break when he discovers a notebook that she left in her favorite New York City book store for some lucky boy to find. Well, that boy is Dash, and he plays along with her “Do you dare?” requests inside the pages, leaving his answers for her to find when she returns for the book.

The two are clearly drawn to each other, and become closer and closer the more time they spend “together” running around NYC. The only problem they seem to face is that Lily loves Christmas and Dash hates it. Oh, and the fact they’ve yet to actually meet in person, of course.

This week’s installment of MTV’s “Teen Wolf” starts off on a particularly windy night in Beacon Hills. An unknowing teen, who we later find out is Sean Wolcott (Glenn McCuen), steps out of his home to look for his cat. While calling out to her, the lights in his home shut off ominously and on returning inside Sean finds his family to have become unresponsive. Like all horror movie set ups, this is a recipe for disaster. And like all horror movie actions, Sean shrugs it off. Idiot move. He climbs the stairs and gets into bed but just before [...]

Scott’s position on the lacrosse team was threatened by new freshman and potential beta, Liam, and a new supernatural murderer arrived in Beacon Hills on Teen Wolf’s “Muted.”

We begin with Sean (Glenn McCuen), a young, blond, teenage boy, who gets into bed only to hear the screams of his family being killed in the other room. When he goes out to investigate, he comes face to face with a dark figure wielding an axe. The axe murderer tells Sean to fight him like a man, or die begging for his life. Instead, Sean jumps out the bathroom window and runs to the hospital before collapsing on the floor.
