New to On Demand: Miss Sloane

Washington, D.C., is a place that can swallow those who don’t have a thick skin. Let’s be honest: Many of the biggest decisions aren’t made as simply as voting thumbs up or down on legislation.

In the new movie Miss Sloane, we take a look at some of those people who drive legislation. Elizabeth Sloane (Jessica Chastain) is one of the most powerful people in Washington. When she is brought in to lead a team, she gets the job done. Some may have […]

New to On Demand: Jackie

The film Jackie takes us inside the head of former first lady Jackie Kennedy. We’ve seen many films come along that explore the environment around the late President John F. Kennedy, but rarely, if ever, have we seen that level of intimacy in an examination of Jackie. Her struggles, pain and humanness have never been more evident than in this film.

Balancing The Scales: ‘Chicago Justice’ Mixes Up The ‘Law & Order’ Formula

In creating a fourth series in the Chicago universe, NBC and Dick Wolf are moving away from first-responder stories and presenting a series that seems more akin to the “ripped-from-the-headlines” world of Wolf’s Law & Order. And that’s by design, explains longtime L&O producer Michael S. Chernuchin, who is executive producing Chicago Justice. “I always liked that on Law & Order — and hopefully it works here, too — where you rip from the headlines to draw people in and then go in a completely different direction. It’s been working so far. I mean, they’re all fictional. Every case we […]
