May 26, 2016 Lori Acken

Ellen Barkin is 62. Sixty. Two. Trust me, you’re going to need to remind yourself of that mere moments into Animal Kingdom, TNT’s scorching, action-packed new drama based on the critically acclaimed 2010 Australian film starring Guy Pearce, Jacki Weaver and Blindspot’s Sullivan Stapleton. Barkin — all tousled locks, burnished skin and plump pout — also rocks skyscraper heels, skinny jeans and plunging tanks like a boss as Janine “Smurf” Cody, matriarch of a crime family that is literally family. Though Smurf sits out the actual heists that have made her crew filthy rich, she rules her grown sons — […]

On Douglas Family Gold, Keeping Track Of An Olympian Is A Family Affair

May 25, 2016 Kellie Freeze

In 2012, then 16-year-old Gabrielle Douglas charmed the world and broke barriers by winning the USA team and individual all-around gymnastics gold medals at the Summer Olympics in London. In the years since, her million-dollar smile has turned into a multimillion-dollar empire, and Gabby has enlisted the help of her close-knit family — mother Natalie Hawkins, sisters Arielle “Arie” Hawkins and Joyelle “Joy” Douglas, brother Johnathan Douglas, and grandmother Miss Carolyn Ford — in running her business. After stepping away from gymnastics for a few years, the now 20-year-old has returned to the sport with her laser focus set on […]

WWE SmackDown goes live and moves to Tuesday nights!

May 25, 2016 Scott Fishman

In an exciting development for WWE fans, SmackDown is going live — and moving to 8pm Tuesday nights — on USA Network starting July 19. And if that weren’t enough, the sports entertainment juggernaut announced the blue brand will feature a distinct roster, storylines and dedicated writing team. This isn’t the first time when WWE made Raw and SmackDown their own separate entities. A similar decision came in 2002 regarding a draft and brand extension. However, the fact that the two shows are going to be on USA Network — and live — helps raise the profile of SmackDown immensely. It’s also […]

Starz Original Programming Is Moving to Sunday Nights

May 25, 2016 Jeff Pfeiffer

Do Starz original series like Outlander have what it takes to go up against hugely popular fare like Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead? The network thinks so, and is ready to test that confidence out by moving its entire original programming slate from Saturday nights to Sunday nights beginning July 17 with the Season 3 premiere of Power. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter posted online today, Starz CEO Chris Albrecht said, “We see opportunity. Saturdays have worked so well that we feel our shows are going to be able to stand up on the most watched night of the week.” Albrecht, who was HBO […]

Jason Patric On Waking Up In FOX’s Wayward Pines

May 25, 2016 Kellie Freeze

In last season’s summer surprise Wayward Pines, fans got engrossed in a twisty and suspense-filled journey that featured an all-star cast and one of TV’s most gripping plot questions: What in the heck is going on? Over the course of 10 shocking episodes, the series revealed closely held secrets about the mysterious town, including Wayward Pines’ status as a bastion against the flesh-eating aberrations (a.k.a. abbies) that humanity has evolved into (after all, it’s the year 4028) and mankind’s last hope for survival. After Season 1 hero Ethan Burke (Matt Dillon) sacrifices himself to stop the abbies, his son wakes […]

New to On Demand: The Finest Hours

May 24, 2016 Lori Acken

Of course, Disney’s The Finest Hours begs instant comparisons to 2000’s Oscar-nominated George Clooney film The Perfect Storm. Hours, too, is based on a real-life nautical nightmare. It, too, features a bleak New England setting. Deadly storm. Handsome hero. Swarthy, seafaring types barking brave declarations. A pretty, plucky woman back home refusing to give up hope. And dazzler special effects that may leave you a landlubber for life. But where Storm’s seafarers were fisherman caught unawares, The Finest Hours doubles the jeopardy, focusing its story on the converging fates of two imperiled vessels and the men aboard them. The larger […]
