The best Devon Bostick movies and TV shows include an interesting mix of young adult, sci-fi, and historical epics that shows his range as an actor. Bostick got his start thanks to his parents, as his mother is a casting director and his father is an actor and fight coordinator. The actor got his start as a child actor and had his first movie role at 13 in the horror movie Godsend. While only a teen, he has worked regularly since that time.

After a few years of taking on small movie roles and one-shot TV appearances, he finally enjoyed his first major role with the TV series Being Erica in 2009 and then achieved his true breakout when he took on the role of Roderick Heffley in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie franchise. Since then, Bostick has proved his versatility with TV shows like The 100 and movies like Oppenheimer,...

Out Come the Wolves pits man versus nature in a bloody and visceral fight for survival that doesn't quite pass the logic test. The simple premise has a journalist and his fianc joining her best friend for a weekend wilderness hunting trip that goes horribly awry. Sharp camerawork, quick edits, and a literally growling soundtrack create tension when the script comes up lacking. The characters, initially thought out with believable exposition, fall into the mindless trap of genre idiocy that turns ostensibly smart people into lunch meat. An attempt at more cerebral underpinnings falls flat when common sense is chucked out the window.

Samantha Weinstein, a Canadian actress since childhood who played high school student Heather in the 2013 remake of Carrie, has died. She was 28.

Weinstein died May 14 at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto after a battle with ovarian cancer. James Crammond, her agent at Noble Caplan Abrams in Toronto, said Weinstein worked up until May 4, doing an animation voice session.

“A trouper to the end. We all miss her terribly,” Crammond told The Hollywood Reporter.

A photo was posted on Weinstein’s Instagram page with the caption: “After two and a half years of cancer treatment, and a lifetime of jet-setting around the world, voicing a plethora of cartoon animals, making music, and knowing more about life than most people ever will, she is off on her next adventure.”

February is slated to be filled with an interesting smattering of new games for PlayStation Plus subscribers in a variety of genres. As usual, each of the three tiers will receive a selection of titles based upon which level they subscribe to. However, even with the lowest subscription tier, Ps+ Essential, players will be treated to titles spanning everything from horror to skateboarding games.

February is shaping up to arguably be a more diverse month for PlayStation Plus games than January was, at least in terms of the Essential subscription, which slanted towards sci-fi the precious month. That being said, the higher tiers did get more variety last month, with titles like the musical Sayonara Wild Hearts and Fmv mystery game Erica dotting the list as well. Regardless of which subscription players have, every PlayStation Plus user will likely have something new to check out this month.

Warning, spoilers ahead: After Stranger Things 4 had its monster-sized, two-episode finale on Friday, the series’ writers took to Twitter to reveal three moments from that finale that weren’t in the script.

At one point, Winona Ryder’s Joyce sees off David Harbour’s Hopper, who’s on his way to battle the prison’s Demogorgon. She asks him to be careful in his errand, noting that she doesn’t want to hold a second funeral for him. In that moment, they share a tender kiss.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched Episodes 8 and 9 of “Stranger Things 4,” now streaming on Netflix.

With the second volume of “Stranger Things” Season 4 now in the books, Netflix is pulling back the curtain a bit on the creation behind the final two episodes of the season. The verified “Stranger Things” writers’ room Twitter account, named “stranger writers,” has shared a few moments from recent episodes that weren’t on the page ahead of filming.

Many “Stranger Things” fans finally had their wishes fulfilled when Winona Ryder’s Joyce Byers and David Harbour’s Jim Hopper shared a kiss after reuniting. Once a fellow resident of Hawkins, Ind., Hopper began the fourth season of “Stranger Things” inside of a mysterious Russian prison. A major storyline in the season involves him getting out from the institution.

While the pair’s first kiss was scripted, including the lengthy stretch of flirting beforehand,...

Fox has picked up Canadian legal drama “Diggstown” from Entertainment One.

Created by Floyd Kane, and starring Vinessa Antoine, the series from Canadian public broadcaster CBC follows Marcie Diggs (Antoine), a star corporate lawyer who reconsiders her priorities and moves to work in a legal-aid office after her aunt commits suicide following the pressures of a malicious prosecution. Among a new group of ragtag lawyers, Marcie is driven by one thing: to never again allow innocent lives to be destroyed by the justice system.

Fox has swooped for seasons 1 and 2 of the drama. The acquisition marks the latest Canadian pick-up by a U.S. broadcaster — a trend that has grown in popularity in the last year as the Covid-19 crisis has stunted production Stateside but has had less of an impact north of the border.

The cast includes Natasha Henstridge (“Species”), C. David Johnson (“Street Legal”), Stacey Farber (“Grace and...

Exclusive: Girls and Get Out star Allison Williams is to star in and exec produce a U.S. remake of Canadian comedy drama Being Erica.

Williams has teamed up with Boat Rocker Studios, which recently rebranded its Platform One Media division, and Sex and the City writers Elisa Zuritsky & Julie Rottenberg to develop the remake.

Zuritsky and Rottenberg will act as showrunners and exec producers and write the pilot while Naima Ramos-Chapman (Random Acts of Flyness) will direct and exec produce. Jason Weinberg will also executive produce.

It is a loose adaptation of the show, which was produced by Boat Rocker’s Temple Street Productions. The remake tells the story of two women — strangers with seemingly nothing in common — seeking the help of an eccentric therapist who enables them to travel back in time to revisit their biggest regrets. Along the way, they’re shocked to discover their lives are inextricably intertwined.

Being Erica (2009-2011) is a Canadian comedy-drama about a woman in her thirties named Erica Strange (Erin Karpluk). Erica's life isn't going exactly the way she had hoped, but a time-travel therapist teaches her how to create a more fulfilling reality. Instead of spending an hour-long therapy session talking, Erica goes back in time to re-do the moments she regrets most in her life.

The protagonist draws viewers in as she juggles the depth of her multifaceted life. Erica is not the only character with the power to travel through time, but she ranks highly in consideration of that ability. Her story is available on Amazon Prime, Hulu, and HBO Max.

First day jitters at work? Nah, Transplant‘s Dr. Bashir Hamed (played by Jett‘s Hamza Haq) displays nothing of the sort on Tuesday’s episode (NBC, 10/9c) of the transplanted Canadian medical drama.

In TVLine’s exclusive sneak peek from the installment, titled “Tell Me Who You Are,” Bashir — who was a doctor in Syria before coming to Canada with his little sister to escape the civil war in his homeland — arrives at York Memorial hospital to begin his residency anew. Not knowing that Dr. Jed Bishop (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.‘s John Hannah) hired Bashir as a doc,...

Contrary to what Transplant‘s title may lead you to believe, Tuesday’s Stateside premiere of the Canadian drama is not about a medical transplant team — and that’s a good thing. Instead, the premise of the series — imported by NBC to fill its coronavirus-impacted fall schedule — is about something far more interesting: Bashir Hamed (Jett‘s Hamza Haq) is a Syrian doctor who has come to Canada to escape the civil war in his homeland.

Like many immigrants, Bashir finds himself working in a restaurant instead of the profession he was trained in. Then one night, a truck crashes into the food establishment.

Last month, PlayStation Plus members were able to download free copies of the third person shooter Star Wars Battlefront II as well as the first person shooter Call of Duty: WWII.

Both games, one set in a galaxy far, far away and the other taking place during Europe’s bloodiest war, have now been replaced by new offers valid throughout the month of July. These include NBA 2K20, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Erica. As with last month’s entries, the games will remain on your PlayStation forever after you download them, even after the offer expires.

NBA 2K20 is a basketball simulation title that came out in August 2019. Published by 2K Games, it’s essentially the FIFA equivalent of basketball, and allows players to hone their skills alone or test them against bots as well as other real-life opponents.

It doesn’t feel like it’s been 10 full years since the launch of PlayStation Plus, but time flies when you’re having fun, right? For just $60 a year, Sony’s online multiplayer subscription service allows PlayStation 4 owners to access chat functionalities and play games with their friends, but it also comes with two free games per month. They’re not always winners as is evident by May’s offerings of Farming Simulator 19 and Cities: Skylines, but some months have exceptional free giveaways. June proved that point admirably when Sony gave subscribers Call of Duty: WWII and Star Wars Battlefront II, and now they’re doing it again with July’s PlayStation Plus games.

NBA 2K20 and Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration Edition will headline PlayStation Plus in July. Even better, these titles will be joined by an additional game, the interactive live-action drama simply titled Erica. With...

While Sony certainly hasn’t won itself any brownie points from fans recently for the content being offered through PlayStation Plus, it has proven to be a massively successful initiative for the company. In case you hadn’t already heard, the paid-for service has its 10-year anniversary next month and Sony, naturally wanting to celebrate, is paying thanks to its millions of subscribers in July with a handful of neat extras.

Those come in the form of an additional game (three up from the usual two) and exclusive PS4 theme, which will be available alongside NBA 2K20, Erica and Rise of the Tomb Raider for the next 30 days. Not the best selection of games that PlayStation fans have been privy to when compared with past months, of course, but which of those titles have proven to be the most popular of all when given away for nothing?

Premium streaming service Bet Plus has acquired the new procedural drama “Diggstown” from Entertainment One.

The six-part series, created by Floyd Kane (“Across the Line”), follows Marcie Diggs, played by Vinessa Antoine, a star corporate lawyer who, after her beloved aunt commits suicide following a malicious prosecution, decides to reconsider her priorities.

Set in the gritty arena of a legal aid office in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, the team of lawyers that Marcie works with are “a curious band of do-gooders, cynics, and scrappers – messy souls struggling to keep personal disappointment and demons out of their practice,” eOne said in a statement. “They work directly in the community to find justice for their diverse clients, exploring issues of racism, poverty, and gender bias.

Diggstown‘s Vinessa Antoine is set for a recurring role opposite Kyle Gallner in CBS All Access’ straight-to-series true-crime drama Interrogation. Co-created by Swedish writer-producer Anders Weidemann and John Mankiewicz, Interrogation is an original concept based on a true story that spanned more than 30 years, in which a young man (Gallner) was charged and convicted of brutally murdering his mother. The series’ first nine episodes will be available to binge in any order with each episode structured around an interrogation. The multi-linear approach will give viewers the opportunity to follow their instincts and develop their own interpretations of the facts of the case and ultimately decide innocence or guilt. Antoine plays a street-smart diner waitress who becomes crucial in a decades-old murder investigation after becoming involved with the private investigator. Canadian born Antoine’s TV credits include Fox’s The Resident, Being Erica, Haven, Heartland, NCIS, Lucky 7 and General Hospital.

Another Life follows Sackhoff's character as she leads a crew on a mission to explore the genesis of an alien artifact. As they investigate and the danger intensifies, it becomes increasingly possible that they may be on a one-way mission. Yikes!

Along the way, he partners with another hitchhiker, a beautiful French girl, Véronique (Joséphine de La Baume, Kiss of the Damned). But when they accept a ride from a local oddball (Frédéric Pierrot, The Returned), the pair find themselves thrown in a deadly game of cat and mouse in which nothing is what it seems. Bursting with nonstop twists and turns and an undercurrent of Hitchcockian malice, this riveting psychological thriller is a hell of a ride.

Although many of our favorite shows are about to take a few months off, that doesn’t mean your TV will become obsolete during the summertime. SyFy intends to heat things up with the release of two trailers promoting the sophomore seasons of Dark Matter and Killjoys.

I admit that it’s not often I become addicted to a summer series, but I found myself pleasantly surprised when Dark Matter effectively entralled me with its intrigue, space exploration, and great characters that were just as unaware of who they were as the viewer was.
