Amber Portwood has a long history of not taking accountability for her actions.

This history inevitably includes reactions of extreme outrage when anyone recalls her misdeeds. She feels that she is entitled to forgiveness, no matter what.

Unfortunately, this means that watching Leah exclude her from her 16th birthday party and pass on her gift sent Amber into a rage spiral.

She may say that she’s done with Teen Mom, but she isn’t done watching and angrily reacting on social media.

Wearing a bold pair of glasses and a striped top, Amber Portwood recalls the well-deserved rejection that she received from her daughter for years. (Image Credit: MTV) Even though Amber Portwood says that she’s done with ‘Teen Mom,’ she’s still tuning in

Strawberry Shortcake made her debut on the 12th season of “The Masked Singer” on Nov. 13, 2024, as a member of Group C. The fruity chanteuse’s first song on Fox’s reality TV show was “Slow Burn” by Kacey Musgraves, and she had the four panelists guessing such famous names as Reneé Rapp, Lana Del Ray, and Rachel Zegler. The following week, she performed “Wrecking Ball” and they guessed Chloe Fineman, Hilary Duff, and Ashley Tisdale.

The American Psycho soundtrack boasts some classic rock and pop hits from the 1980s. Songs by New Order and Genesis have even become synonymous with the movie, given the crucial scenes in which they play. Based on the novel by Bret Easton Ellis and directed by Mary Harron, American Psycho revolves around a New York City banker who doubles as a serial killer at night. Rather than delving into familiar psychological thriller tropes, the highly quotable American Psycho takes a darkly comic approach as it decodes the consumerism and toxic masculinity that drives its twisted lead character, Patrick Bateman.

Music plays a chief role in American Psycho, given that Patrick has quite an interesting playlist. Despite the dark, homicidal things brewing in his mind, he listens to cheery songs while walking to the office. When he has visitors at his home, Patrick can also flaunt his record collection and break...

Like Spirit Halloween seizing a once-beloved store, Silver Scream Con moved into the old stomping grounds of Rock and Shock — New England’s premier horror convention, which came to an end in 2019 — at the Dcu Center in Worcester, Ma for its three-quel on September 13-15.

It was a full circle moment for Silver Scream mastermind and Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas, whose experiences attending Rock and Shock inspired him to start his own convention. Having quickly outgrown its previous venue, the Doubletree hotel in Danvers, Silver Scream Con III’s new setting was able to accommodate even more horror fans for three days of horror, music, gore, and more.

The guest list included: Scream‘s David Arquette, Jamie Kennedy, and Lee Waddell; Cabin Fever‘s Eli Roth, Cerina Vincent, and Jordan Ladd; Terrifier‘s Damien Leone, David Howard Thornton, Lauren Lavera, Elliott Fullam, and Amelie McLain; Halloween‘s Nick Castle,...

Two years have gone by since we heard that production had wrapped on Cuckoo, a new horror film from writer/director Tilman Singer that stars Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), Dan Stevens (The Guest), Jessica Henwick (Love and Monsters), Marton Csókás (Freelance), Greta Fernández (Santo), and Jan Bluthardt (Tatort). Now our chance to see the film is upon us, as it has reached theatres today, August 9th. JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols gave Cuckoo an 8/10 review you can read at This Link, we have interviews with the lead actors Here, and earlier this week we shared a clip that gave Schafer’s character a terrifying biking experience. A press release noted that Dan Stevens turns in a “brilliant and terrifying” performance in the film, and he has described his role as a “delicious antagonist role.” In the new clip embedded above, we get a 90 second sample of Stevens’ performance, and it is quite creepy.

The film has been shrouded in secrecy this whole time, but during a new interview with Variety Schafer has revealed some new details… like the fact that Cuckoo sees her getting covered in blood and facing off with a bird-like monster!

Voice actor Maurice Lamarche is one of the preeminent elder statesmen of his craft. He started his career in stand up, finding he was a talented mimic, moving into animation in 1980. He appeared in hit shows like "Inspector Gadget" and "Transformers," really hitting his stride in 1985 playing Ego Spengler in "The Real Ghostbusters." He cycled through the KidsWB canon aggressively in the late '80s and early '90s, appearing in "Taz-Mania," "Batman: The Animated Series," "Tiny Toon Adventures," "Freakazoid!," and "Animaniacs" wherein he employed his spot-on Orson Welles impersonation to voice the power-hungry mouse the Brain. His largest sampling of voice caricatures came from his work on the 1994 series "The Critic," where he voiced celebrities ranging from William Shatner to Elizabeth Taylor (but only when she was belching).

In 1999, Lamarche became one of the regulars on Mat Groening's and David X. Cohen's sci-fi sitcom "Futurama" where he played Kif,...

The episode of "Futurama" entitled "Jurassic Bark" was about the unfrozen 20th-century boob Fry (Billy West) going to a museum in the year 3002 to find ancient antiques of the pizza joint where he used to work. There was a pizza paddle, an old dining booth, and, most shockingly, the fossilized remains of his beloved pet dog Seymour. Professor Farnsworth (West) explains that, because Seymour was fossilized so quickly, there may still be a creamy center of organic dog matter somewhere inside Seymour's rock shell. With such matter, Seymour could be cloned and returned to life with his memories and personality intact, so Fry endeavors to steal Seymour's remains from the museum. Half of the episode is told in flashback, and audiences enjoy scenes of Fry bonding with his dear dog. At one point, Fry teaches the pooch how to bark Katrina and the Waves' 1985 hit "Walking on Sunshine."

Exclusive: Searchlight Pictures has closed a deal around $7.5 million for U.S. rights to Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. the Sophie Hyde-directed film that stars Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack (The Wheel of Time & Peaky Blinders).

Deadline reported yesterday that Searchlight was poised to win the film that was bid on by several distributors, and the plan is to wage an awards-season campaign for Thompson in a standout turn. Searchlight will release through Hulu, in a deal similar to the pre-emptive one it made for another Sundance film, Fresh.

Hyde directed 52 Tuesdays and Animals. The new film is scripted by Katy Brand, whose credits include Nanny McPhee Returns, which starred Thompson, and Walking on Sunshine.

In Leo Grande, Nancy Stokes (Thompson) has led a full life. A retired schoolteacher and widower, she finds herself yearning for the one thing that has eluded her: a satisfying sexual experience. She...

Starting at the beginning, she followed along to the incorrectly translated lyrics, singing, "There was a time that bees loved me and thought I could grind / And I...

From the moment 12-year-old Jacob Tremblay mutters “Fuck yeah!” and prepares to masturbate to an avatar on his computer in the opening scene of “Good Boys,” the underlying appeal of this raunchy adolescent comedy comes together. The latest R-rated romp from comedy super producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg marks the directorial debut for “The Office” scribe Gene Stupnitsky, who co-wrote with writing partner Lee Eisenberg, and it follows many of the familiar beats of a story about neighborhood boys who just want to have fun. But that formula has never centered on sixth graders, and the entertainment value of watching them curse their way through lewd daylong adventure injects fresh entertainment value into a familiar routine. While the pace is spotty and not every joke lands, “Good Boys” manages to be adorable and twisted at the same time.

After a season that’s seen them have to claw back from the bottom, it’s easy to wonder when the Pied Piper crew will catch a break. The cosmic, bleak comedy of Richard Hendricks’ career is that he keeps stumbling into weekly, lightbulb-over-his-head discoveries that, on any other show, would have landed him at the top of the industry by now.

Moon director Duncan Jones put a "sly aside" to Danny Boyle's Sunshine in his film, he's revealed...

Two British directors made two fascinating science fiction films in the 2000s. Danny Boyle gave the world the terrific Sunshine in 2007, and Duncan Jones’ debut feature, Moon, arrived in 2009. The pair, though, have a little link between them, that was unearthed by Mark Kermode.

Kermode was hosting a screening of Moon in Truro last week, that he followed with an on-stage Q&A with Duncan Jones. And Jones revealed that there’s a little tribute to Sunshine within Moon.

“Apparently, Moon and Sunshine at one point were slightly in competition”, Kermode said. “And that’s why, in Moon, there’s a burst of Katrina & The Waves doing Walking On Sunshine”.

Jones was apparently very aware of the competition between Sunshine and Moon when putting his movie together, and thus...

The EnMar Productions and Sterling Pictures project stars Michael Ironside and Clare Higgins.

Principal photography has begun on Heretiks, a supernatural horror from Paul Hyett, director of werewolves-on-a-train feature Howl.

Starring Michael Ironside (Total Recall), Clare Higgins (Hellraiser) and Hannah Arterton (Walking On Sunshine), the film is set in Britain in the 17th Century and follows a young woman who, after being saved from execution, discovers a new evil within her.

Producers are Marcia Do Vales for Spain’s EnMar Productions and Michael Riley for the UK’s Sterling Pictures.

Executive producers are Gary Collins for Red Rock Entertainment and Lyndon Baldock for Templeheart Films.

Hyett has co-written the script with Conal Palmer. The pair previously collaborated on 2012’s The Seasoning House.

Paul Hyett, director of Howl and The Seasoning House, has begun principal photography on the chilling supernatural horror film Heretiks for Templeheart Films, EnMar Productions, Red Rock Entertainment and Sterling Pictures.

Set during the 17th Century, Heretiks sees a young woman saved from execution and led to a priory to repent her sins… but discovers a greater evil lies within. Michael Ironside (Total Recall, Starship Troopers, Scanners), three-time Olivier winner Clare Higgins (Hellraiser, Hellbound, The Golden Compass) and Hannah Arterton (Walking On Sunshine) star in this atmospheric horror/chiller currently shooting in Wales.

Says director and co-writer Paul Hyett:

The X Factor wrapped up filming on its auditions yesterday, and you know what that means - the show's even closer to being back! And boy, what a treat we're in for if these previous auditions are anything to go by.

The audition stages always throw up some weird and wonderful acts, so we've collected just 13 of the best (and most bonkers) that remind us why we're so excited about The X Factor's return...

1. George Gerasimou (and Dermot telling him off)

Where do we even start? This is one of our favourite auditions ever. It starts off on a positive note as George explains that he has grown up since his awful try-out with Triple Trouble - but then as soon as Gary calls an early stop to the music, George kicks off big time, snarling all the while, and his mate joins him on stage to back him up.

Films like Walking on Sunshine make you think al-Qaeda might have a point after all. Like anybody else, I’ve got serious problems with the basic tenets of Islamic Fundamentalism, but it’s got to be better than this. Produced with a cynical eye towards snaring World Cup widows, this 80s jukebox musical is a stunningly accurate simulation of being manacled to a chair in a dodgy karaoke bar and forced to watch a bunch of jerks tunelessly disembowel pop standards.

Set in Italy, our heroine Taylor (Hannah Arterton) arrives on holiday to find that her big sister Maddie (Annabel Scholey) is getting married. But oh no! Maddie is getting married to Raf (Guilio Berruti), who, three years ago, was the holiday squeeze of Taylor. There’s a bunch of annoying stock types hanging around on the periphery (the fat and horny girl, the fat ‘joker’ guy and a rather awkward looking Leona Lewis) but,...

This weekend marks the limited and VOD release of God Help the Girl, a musical from Stuart Murdoch, best known as the lead singer of Belle and Sebastian. God Help the Girl, which emerged out of a musical side project for Murdoch, follows three friends who start a band during a summer in Glasgow. It has, yes, been described as “twee,” a word now practically synonymous with Belle and Sebastian.

The Killing was an American remake from AMC based on the nordic noir show popularised over here by showings on BBC 4. The Us version moved things to Seattle where it rained constantly and revolved around the murder of Rosie Larson. Unfairly compared to Twin Peaks when it debuted, it was nonetheless something of a hit on Channel 4 for at least two seasons. I lost track of it around the mid-point of season two, not because I didn’t like it, I enjoyed it lots despite its grimness but it became impossible to keep up with the weekly scheduled showings and 4Od was, and still is not very good. From what I hear season two wrapped up the murder of Larson and season three moved on to a new mystery which was just as gripping.

Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie: How the feck did it get on the big screen?

Transformers: Age of Extinction pulled in £4.7 million over the weekend after bowing on July 5, but isn't eligible for this week's chart as this is drawn from Friday to Sunday totals.

Michael Bay's sequel is a certainty to take the number one slot next week thanks to its nine-day opening run.

The film's box office performance has outpaced recent TV-to-film adaptation Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa, which opened to £2.2 million last summer.

However, Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie still falls some way short of matching the The Inbetweeners Movie, a big earner in 2011 with a £13 million first-weekend haul and £57 million in cumulative box office takings.

Elsewhere in this week's chart, new releases Chef, How to Train Your Dragon 2 (not on full release in Scotland and Ireland) and jukebox musical Walking on Sunshine all made it into the top ten.

Update: Tony Benn doc wins audience award; Hide and Seek wins Michael Powell Award, Ice Poison takes international prize.

Joanna Coates’s drama Hide and Seek has won The Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature at the 68th Edinburgh International Film Festival, which has revealed its winners today.

Walking on Sunshine star Hannah Arterton, sister of Gemma, is among the cast of the film about four fragile youngsters who flee London to start an unconventional utopia.

Coates wrote the film with Daniel Metz, who also stars in the film and produces.

The Michael Powell jury, chaired by director Amos Gitai with actors Nina Hoss and Michael Smiley, described the film as “innovative” and “exceptional.”

On Sunday, Skip Kite’s documentary Tony Benn: Will & Testament won the audience award.

The award for Best Film in the International Competition went to Midi Z’s Ice Poison (Taiwan, Myanmar), which charts the economic despair in the rural and developing...

Let's get one thing out of the way from the off. Walking on Sunshine, a jukebox musical featuring all your favourite pop hits from the '80s, can in no way be recommended to anyone under the guise of being "a good movie". The story ticks off every rom-com cliché in the book, the characters have all the appeal of third-degree sunburn, the acting frequently hits pantomime levels and the production values on both the recorded tracks and song and dance numbers leave something to be desired.

Yes, Walking on Sunshine really does make Mamma Mia! look like Citizen Kane. And yet, despite all this, you can't take your eyes off it for a second. One thing you can't accuse this film of is lacking in car-crash entertainment value.

Catherine Shoard and Peter Bradshaw join Xan Brooks for our weekly roundup of this week's big cinema releases. On the menu this week is Chef, Jon Favreau's love letter to food, family and Jon Favreau; Cold in July, a dark and bitter Texas film noir; Walking on Sunshine, a gloopy, sweet 80s jukebox musical; and Arthur & Mike, a baffling romantic drama that sees Colin Firth and Emily Blunt romp around in bed together. It's an acquired taste

Leona Lewis has sympathised with One Direction, telling Digital Spy that it must be "terrible" to live at their level of fame.

The 'Glassheart' singer, who was label mates with the X Factor group before moving from Syco to Island, said that she couldn't deal with having fans as obsessive as Directioners.

"I've been quite lucky in that sense," she told DS. "I've never had anyone hide in a bedroom [or had] someone get into my hotel room.

"What One Direction have, that's just terrible. Oh my God, those boys. Boybands, phew, that's a whole other level [of fandom]. I'm good."

Lewis is about to be seen in her first major acting role in British musical movie Walking on Sunshine, released today (June 27).

On bracing herself for a potential critical backlash, she said: "People always want to get the claws out straight away, but I feel like this film... was so natural for me.

In the opening titles to Walking on Sunshine, a trashy musical celebrating the classic hits of the 1980s (as if we need to) – it says “directed by Max and Dania”. It’s somewhat odd not to include their surnames – but when we proceed into this rather insufferable piece of filmmaking, you can see why they were maybe a tad embarrassed to reveal their full names (it’s Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini, by the way).

Hannah Arteton (younger sister of Gemma) plays Taylor, who flies over to the beautiful coastal region of Puglia, Italy, where she is greeted by the news that her sister Maddie (Annabel Scholey) is soon to marry. Taylor had found love once here herself, and was hoping to potentially reconnect with the man who she had the intense, Summer romance with. Before she knows it, their paths do cross – but in somewhat unforeseen circumstances, as the very same man,...
