- DirectorGlenn FicarraJohn RequaStarsTina FeyMargot RobbieMartin FreemanA journalist recounts her wartime coverage in Afghanistan.It's easy to see why Kim Barker's book would make a perfect Tina Fey movie. Even though the title Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is impossible to market effectively, and the first trailer underwhelmed, the second trailer highlighted the many reasons why I want to see the movie: The relationship between Fey and Margot Robbie looks promising, and there are aspects of Barker's personal story that feels relatable. I'm not sure why Alfred Molina and Christopher Abbott were cast as Afghani men, though. — Arno Kazarian
In Theaters: Friday, March 4 - CreatorGlen MazzaraStarsBradley JamesMegalyn EchikunwokeOmid AbtahiAfter discovering his origins, Damien Thorn must cope with life as the Anti-Christ.It's been 40 years since Richard Donner's classic horror film The Omen first hit the screen and once again the story of Damien Thorn is being retold. This time Damien is played by "Merlin" alum, Bradley James and picks up where The Omen left off, following the millennial Antichrist's journey to baddie self-awareness. A&E followed a similar pattern with the critically acclaimed "Bates Motel," which explored the origins of a young Norman Bates, so I'm excited to see what they're going to do with another iconic villain.
"It's all for you!"

Series Premiere: Monday, March 7 - DirectorDan TrachtenbergStarsJohn GoodmanMary Elizabeth WinsteadJohn Gallagher Jr.A young woman is held in an underground bunker by a man who insists that a hostile event has left the surface of the Earth uninhabitable.Back to the Room we go? Hopefully this non-sequel to Cloverfield will be as enjoyable as the competing pre-release theories as to what the story will be about. And I don't think 10 Cloverfield Lane will simply be a character study of John Goodman's fall-out shelter survivor/protector/potential-monster-in-hiding.

In Theaters: Friday, March 11 - DirectorJeff NicholsStarsMichael ShannonJoel EdgertonKirsten DunstA father and son go on the run, pursued by the government and a cult drawn to the child's special powers.Knowing that Jeff Nichols has structured his latest project like a chase movie/conspiracy thriller — and that distributor Warner Bros. is treating is as a specialty release — has me on edge in all the best ways. At the heart of Midnight Special's story is another examination of parental instincts, which Nichols explored so uniquely in Take Shelter, and few writer/directors created male characters as complex as his. — Arno
In Theaters: Wednesday, March 16 - CreatorDrew GoddardStarsCharlie CoxVincent D'OnofrioDeborah Ann WollA blind lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Matt Murdock fights the crime of New York as Daredevil.If you enjoyed binging the first season of Marvel's "Daredevil" as much as I did, you can't wait for the second season return later this month. The show comes back on March 18 at 12:01 a.m. to be exact. So, get ready for a sleepless night! The show has been giving fans some fun teases, releasing trailers and a first look of Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. With all your old favorites and, from the sound of it, many new additions, this season should be sure to please! — Shara
Airs: Friday, March 18 - DirectorDavid GrifhorstRobert DeatonStarsTyler PerryJencarlos CanelaChris DaughtryThe Creator of the universe in human form makes the ultimate sacrifice for all humanity, offering salvation to all who believe.Ready for the latest entrant in the fast-expanding genre of live broadcast musicals? Well, ready or not, FOX's newest offering surely raises the bar for pageantry and technical complexity (if not musical familiarity). Airing on Palm Sunday, "The Passion" serves up a modern-day retelling of a well-told Biblical story set to contemporary music and staged in and around New Orleans landmarks. Tyler Perry serves as host and narrator, and the cast is full of noted recording artists including Jencarlos Canela (Jesus), Chris Daughtry (Judas), Trisha Yearwood, and Seal among others. — Bret
Airs: Sunday, March 20 - DirectorKirk JonesStarsNia VardalosJohn CorbettMichael ConstantineA Portokalos family secret brings the beloved characters back together for an even bigger and Greeker wedding.It's been 14 years since Toula (Nia Vardalos) and the rest of the cantankerous, extroverted Portakalos clan lit up the big screen, and time hasn't tempered their oversize personalities, loud voices, and big hair. In this sequel, we check in with Toula and husband Ian (John Corbett) as they navigate the pain of raising a teenage daughter (Elena Kampouris) and the revelation of a big family secret that compels the whole family to come together for one more over-the-top celebration. — Bret
In Theaters: Friday, March 25 - DirectorZack SnyderStarsBen AffleckHenry CavillAmy AdamsBatman is manipulated by Lex Luthor to fear Superman. Superman´s existence is meanwhile dividing the world and he is framed for murder during an international crisis. The heroes clash and force the neutral Wonder Woman to reemerge.I have eagerly been counting down the days until March since the first trailer debuted at Comic-Con last summer. ‘Batman v Superman’ is one of this year’s most highly anticipated movies according to IMDb users. Even though I feel like I’ve seen quite a bit of the film already through the trailers, I can't wait to see all the best DC characters finally come together. And it's just the beginning... — Akimi
In Theaters: Friday, March 25 - DirectorTerrence MalickStarsChristian BaleCate BlanchettNatalie PortmanA writer indulging in all that Los Angeles and Las Vegas have to offer, undertakes a search for love and self via a series of adventures with six different women.Terrence Malick's long-gestating movie stars multiple Oscar winners Christian Bale and Natalie Portman, along with '80s romance cover model Fabio and "America's Next Top Model" judge Kelly Cutrone. Bale plays a screenwriter in an emotional tailspin who drowns his sorrows in booze and women. Since it's a Malick film, it's heavy on the imagery and light on the plot. I not sure whether I'll love it or be perplexed by it, but I can't pass up such an unusual project. — Sara
- CreatorLee DanielsDanny StrongStarsTerrence HowardTaraji P. HensonJussie SmollettA hip-hop mogul must choose a successor among his three sons who are battling for control over his multi-million dollar company, while his ex-wife schemes to reclaim what is hers.The first season of the hip-hop flavored primetime soap was a phenomenon. The first half of its sophomore season was weighted down by excessive celebrity cameos and disjointed storylines. Its fall finale was a return to form featuring a truly surprising plot twist — Hakeem's ex-girlfriend Camilla, played by the fierce, fabulous Naomi Campbell — is the new CEO of Empire. It's been torture waiting for the show to return. On March 30, we will finally find out how far Lucious will go in his attempts to regain control of the family business. — Sara
- CreatorAdam DevineKyle NewacheckStarsAdam DevinePage RomanoAmanda CernyStarring and hosted by Adam Devine ("Workaholics"), each episode of "Adam Devine's House Party" features scripted storylines and stand-up segments, and hosts an exciting lineup of up-and-coming talent.There's nothing like a little awkward bro humor to kick off your March! With a parade of up-and-coming comedians hitting the stage, you're bound to find a new favorite — or at least a few belly laughs. As a big fan of "Workaholics," I only wish Blake Anderson and Jillian Bell could host the show alongside Adam Devine. Fun fact: Devine's very first job was selling steaks over the phone! — Chako
Series returns on Thursday, March 3 - DirectorJohn LeeStarsPaul ReubensJordan BlackDoug CoxA fateful meeting with a mysterious stranger inspires Pee-wee Herman to take his first holiday ever in this epic story of friendship and destiny.That laugh, that suit, that face! Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens) makes a triumphant return to the small screen in this road trip comedy starring a new cast of friends and a nearly endless supply of what are soon-to-be classic one-liners. L.A.T.T.I.H.T.B.G. — Chako
