The season of the very first sign of the zodiac is here, and that’s exactly why being a leader comes so easy for Aries folks.
And that’s no joke, Aries really don’t know what else to be but a boss, CEO or innovator, because they’d rather play by their own rules. They march to the beat of their own drum and rarely ever need anyone to play backup instrumentals. Their charm, playful personality and great sense of humor make up for their impulsiveness and sometimes hot-temper, and there’s absolutely no other sign who will keep it all the way real with you like an Aries does, even if it’s something you don’t want to hear. They tell it like it is, as dishonesty goes against their entire m.o.
As ambitious as they are — known for being some of the greatest to ever...

Scott M. Gimple, the co-creator of the new “The Walking Dead” spin-off series “The Ones Who Live,” said he hopes to be able to reunite beloved franchise characters like Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus), Negan Smith (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie Rhee (Lauren Cohan) in an epic series crossover.
“There are so many things with this universe that I plan and put together, but I also know that God laughs, and you have to pivot to something else,” Gimple said. “I absolutely have been working towards that and hoping towards that, but we’ll see what happens. It might be a version of it that no one expects.”
Gimple revealed his coveted, long-term franchise goals at the spin-off’s premiere at the Linwood Dunn Theater in Los Angeles. Series leads Lincoln, Gurira, Lesley-Ann Brandt (“Lucifer”), Terry O’Quinn (“Lost”) and Craig Tate (“Snowfall”) joined Gimple at the red-carpet event.

The episode of Revisited covering The Exorcist III was Written and Edited by Ric Solomon, Narrated by Kier Gomes, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
In 1973 William Friedkin unleashed his iconic horror film The Exorcist upon the masses. Since its release, it has been widely regarded as one of the most influential and iconic horror films of all time and would go on to have a huge cultural impact. It tapped into primal fears and because of its powerful storytelling, was able to captivate and terrify audiences. I think its safe to say this secured its status as a timeless horror classic. But we’re not here to discuss a movie that has been dissected, overanalyzed, added to most people’s Top 4 films on Letterboxd and reviewed by everyone and their mothers.

It’s time for a new episode of the Real Slashers video series, and with this one we’re looking back at a 2006 release that has built up a solid cult following, but still hasn’t drawn in as many fans as it deserves. The movie is Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (watch it Here), and you can find out all about it by watching the video embedded above!
Directed by Scott Glosserman from a screenplay he wrote with David J. Stieve, Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon has the following synopsis: You know legendary maniacs Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, and Freddy Krueger. Now meet Leslie Vernon, the next great psycho-slasher. Vernon, a good-natured killing machine, invites a documentary film crew to follow him as he reminisces with his murder mentor, evades his psychiatrist/nemesis, deconstructs Freudian symbolism, and meticulously plots his upcoming slaughter spree.

A few years ago, director Oliver Harper made a documentary called In Search of the Last Action Heroes, which was described as “a comprehensive retrospective of the ’80s and ’90s action film genre.” One of the people interviewed for that documentary was screenwriter Steven E. de Souza, who was a major contributor to the action genre in those decades, working on the likes of 48 Hrs., Commando, The Running Man, Die Hard, Die Hard 2, Hudson Hawk, Ricochet, Beverly Hills Cop III, and Street Fighter, among others… with one of the others being the much-maligned Sylvester Stallone comic book movie Judge Dredd. In a moment that didn’t make it into the final cut of In Search of the Last Action Heroes, de Souza discussed the issues that Judge Dredd ran into, including bad marketing and a struggle to secure an R rating. Harper has been kind enough to share that deleted scene online,...

For many people the name William Peter Blatty will forever be linked to The Exorcist, the best-selling 1971 novel penned by Blatty that tells the story of a demonically possessed 11-year-old girl and the two priests who attempt to save her. Blatty would go on to adapt his novel for the 1973 feature film of the same name which, under the direction of William Friedkin, would enrich itself in the history of cinema as one of best horror movies ever made, in the process winning Blatty an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.

It was announced today that controversial actor Robert Blake has died at the age of 89. His niece, Noreen Austin, confirmed that he died at his Los Angeles home after a longtime battle with heart disease. Blake was best known for his roles in Richard Brooks’ adaptation of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, David Lynch’s Lost Highway, and for starring in the 1970s detective series Baretta.
Robert Blake got his start as a child actor, appearing as Mickey in forty installments of MGM’s Our Gang short films. He also played Little Beaver in twenty-three installments of the Red Ryder film series. He also appeared in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre as a young Mexican boy who sells a lottery ticket to Humphrey Bogart. Although many child actors can’t transition to adult roles, Blake managed to pull it off. His biggest break came with In Cold Blood,...

Actor Robert Blake, a man with a long and complex legacy, has died, a representative for his son-in-law Gregg Hurwitz confirmed to Variety. The former child actor was best known for his Emmy-winning role as the cockatoo-owning undercover cop in the popular 1970s TV series “Baretta” and, more infamously, for his trial following the 2001 murder of his wife. He was 89.
As reported by the Associated Press, Blake died from heart disease on Thursday at his home in Los Angeles.
These two aspects of Blake’s legacy were inseparable in some ways, and the personal turmoil that made the latter at least circumstantially plausible (the case against Blake hinged on motive — he may have wanted to be free of his rocky marriage) fueled his acting.
Blake was acquitted of the murder charge, as well as of one count of soliciting murder, in his criminal trial in 2005, but in a civil trial later that year,...

Extensively researched with the help of childhood chum Harper Lee, Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood was a true-life horror story written in a poet’s voice. There’s poetry in Richard Brooks’s 1967 movie adaptation as well, thanks to cinematographer Conrad Hall who contributes some of the finest black and white imagery in movie history. Robert Blake and Scott Wilson are terrifying as the killers Perry Smith and Dick Hickock.

"The Walking Dead" ended its 11th and last season with a bang. While three spinoffs are coming soon, including "Dead City," it was the final farewell to the flagship series. Throughout its run, diehard fans came to care deeply about its characters and were glued to their televisions, hooked into stories about survival and keeping humanity intact. Characters such as Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) made the show what it quickly became — a ratings juggernaut. It may not have reached the creative heights of "Breaking Bad" or "Game of Thrones," but it had immense heart. When a character was put on the chopping block, it was often a devastating, soul-rattling experience.
Across 11 seasons, there were plenty of deaths that broke millions of hearts. Whether you're talking about that Season 2 barn reveal, the emergency C-section, or that baseball bat scene in Season 7, the show relentlessly forced its audience to face death and perhaps question their mortality.

After 11 seasons and 117 episodes, AMC’s zombie drama “The Walking Dead” is ready to shuffle off this mortal coil. The characters have traveled across several states, met and lost countless friends, and waged wars with walkers and humans alike. As we prepare to say goodbye in the series finale on Sunday, November 20, 2022 let’s take a look at the Top 10 best “The Walking Dead” episodes of all time.
10. “Here’s Negan” – Season 10, Episode 22
The six pandemic episodes of Season 10 vary wildly in style and in quality. But the final installment, “Here’s Negan,” provided an inspired backstory for Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s villain. Morgan’s real-life spouse Hilary Burton-Morgan steps in to play Negan’s wife Lucille, in what might just be the most emotionally raw performance from the actress to date. It’s devastating to watch the real-life pair play the emotional gut punch at the end of the episode.

“House of the Dragon” star Fabien Frankel plots to steal an expensive painting alongside Greta Bellamacina (“This England”) in a trailer for their new art heist feature “Venice at Dawn.”
Frankel plays Dixon while Bellamacina is Sally. After the duo have a drunken encounter at a bar, they come up with a plan to swipe a costly piece of art from Sally’s ex-boyfriend Stephen (“After Life” star Tom Basden). “There’s this huge house and he owns this painting which is worth millions of pounds – money, money, money,” Sally tells Dixon. “Tomorrow the house is going to be empty, the painting will be there and we could steal it.” Naturally high-jinks ensue.
YouTube turned actor Tanya Burr (“Twist”) co-stars as Stephen’s best friend while actor and director Celyn Jones (“The Almond and the Seahorse”) leads a Greek chorus of bumbling detectives as Detective Symonds.

Life is brutal in the zombie apocalypse. AMC’s “The Walking Dead” has killed off dozens of characters over the course of its 11-season run, from series regulars to beloved guest stars. Character deaths can deliver shocking gore (like when Emmy nominee Tyler James Wilson’s Noah has his face ripped apart in a revolving door) or a final heroic moment (as when Tony and Emmy nominee Tovah Feldshuh’s Deanna sacrifices herself while delivering a defiant scream). But the most memorable ends are the ones that rip at the hearts of viewers and leave them in a puddle of tears.
As “The Walking Dead” rockets toward its November 20 series finale, here are the top five most emotional deaths from the past 11 seasons.

This article contains spoilers for every season of The Walking Dead.
When a black and white comic book series titled The Walking Dead premiered among Image Comics’ monthly offerings in 2003, few would have guessed that it would spawn the multimedia franchise we know it as today. As one among many works that capitalized in a cultural resurgence in the zombie subgenre in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, The Walking Dead might have been a flash in the pan were it not for its world-building and revolving ensemble cast, which allowed for it to go mainstream with AMC’s 2010 TV adaptation.
The main series will have clocked in at 177 episodes by its Nov. 20, 2022 conclusion, making it one of the most prominent TV sagas of the modern era. Even here in the eleventh hour of the eleventh season, there are bound to be many excellent episodes on the way before all is said and done.

Walter Mirisch earned his Oscar for this Sidney Poitier hit directed by Norman Jewison. The tense mystery thriller was also a significant cultural step for Civil Rights, Hollywood-style: Poitier’s Virgil Tibbs claims the right to not turn the other cheek. Stars Rod Steiger, Lee Grant, Warren Oates and Larry Gates are in top form. Kino’s new 4K release maximizes the impact of Haskell Wexler’s steamy cinematography and Quincy Jones’ rich music, and includes bonus Blu-ray encodings of the two sequels made a few years later.

It’s been almost 12 years since the first zombie trekked across our screen in the pilot episode of “The Walking Dead.” The journey has been long and sometimes extremely slow and drawn-out, but alas, it’s finally coming to a close.
It’s no wonder the series and its spinoffs have maintained such a huge following over the years. The series was already a hit in comic form, and after its debut in 2010 “The Walking Dead” became one of the biggest ratings hits on all of television, spawning spinoffs and web series to expand the universe.
Now that we’re coming to the end of the flagship “The Walking Dead” series (which is in its final season), it’s as good a time as any to go back and experience the entire universe as it unfolds in chronological order.

“Fargo” showrunner Noah Hawley “wanted to make sure that he had a writers room that could represent those perspectives the best that you can,” explains writer/producer Scott Wilson about season four of the FX anthology series, which tells the story of a mob war between Black and Italian syndicates in Kansas City in the 1950s. “No one person can represent an entire group, but it’s ideal to have as many perspectives as you can, particularly if you’re writing about a specific group of people.” We talked with Wilson as part of our “FX Writing for Inclusion” panel.

The Cbr Screen Fund has supported Sissy with production investment, and will also provide development support for Little One, a TV adaptation by Peter Papathanasiou of his memoir of the same title; Paranormal Blacktivity, a TV series conceived by Indigenous comedians, and comedy feature film Swing Set.

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is a 2006 film from director Scott Glosserman, and takes a different approach to the tried and tested and well trodden slasher genre.

There’ve been a lot of deaths on The Walking Dead, but one that hit the hardest was Glenn’s in the season 7 premiere. Not just because of the horrifically graphic and brutal way he died, but also because it was so tragic for him to be taken from wife Maggie when she was expecting their son. Glenn had been on the show since the beginning, too, so fans found it hard to say goodbye and his legacy is still felt on the series even in its tenth season. We may not have seen the last of the character, though.
According to sources close to Wgtc – the same ones who told us Disney Plus is rebooting Percy Jackson as a TV series and CBS is doing a Captain Pike spinoff – AMC has plans to bring Glenn back for season 11 should actor Steven Yeun agree to return. And as you’d probably imagine,...

Many actors from The Walking Dead maintain a great deal of affection for the series even after they’re unceremoniously killed off, and some have reappeared in varying capacities. Now, Emily Kinney, who played Beth from the start of season 2 to the character’s death midway through season 5, has revealed that she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of coming back.
Kinney, who was speaking on Tommy Didario’s lockdown interview series Let’s Stay Together, said she was not specifically campaigning to return, but would welcome the opportunity if it somehow arose.
“I mean, I did get shot in the head. But I mean, I loved the show, I loved working on it. It makes me so happy to be a part of it, I’m very proud of being a part of that show. So it’s not out of [the question] … if there was some way, sure.”

AMC’s zombie apocalypse drama “The Walking Dead,” based on Robert Kirkman’s comic book series, burst onto our television screens in 2010 and has been a ratings juggernaut ever since. Over the past decade the show has experienced both creative highs and unfortunate lows, with some seasons being must-see-tv and others being rather forgettable. Tour our photos above to see all of “The Walking Dead” seasons ranked from worst to best. Does your personal number one choice match ours?

It was great to expand the world of the show by introducing The Kingdom and Oceanside. But the series felt the need to really marinate in the doom and gloom of Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Abraham’s (Michael Cudlitz) murders at the top of the season. Season 7 is largely defined by a sense of helplessness against the threat of The Saviors and it quickly grew tiresome as each episode only presented more of the same.

The Walking Dead is a show that’s never been shy about offing its characters. From the very beginning, it was clear that anyone could bite it at any time. That turned out to be one of the biggest selling points for the program and actually helped audiences invest in it.
One of the most shocking deaths happened during the second season. Jon Bernthal’s Shane was killed in a duel of sorts with his former friend turned rival, Rick Grimes. This was so unexpected because the character of Shane was developed in such a different fashion than he was in the comics in which he originated, where he died almost immediately.
In the series, however, Shane was stretched over two seasons and morphed into an antagonist that would not only challenge Rick for control of the group of survivors, but also wanted to usurp his family (whom he did...

It’s hard work, I know that – the amount of films we report on, or have knowledge about (thanks to eager directors getting in touch) that never get past the announcement stage is astonishing.

Fears that the loss of Rick Grimes in season nine would spell the end for The Walking Dead proved unfounded. With a new showrunner, a new villain, and a huge time jump that gave us the gift of Lil’ Ass Kicker Judith aged 10, the show was revitalized. Samantha Morton’s terrifying Alpha made for a very different kind of antagonist, and the introduction of new characters provided much-needed fresh blood.

Nearly five episodes in to its third season, FX has ordered a fourth season of Snowfall, its acclaimed drama series about the start of the crack cocaine epidemic in Los Angeles. Created by John Singleton & Eric Amadio and Dave Andron, Snowfall Season 4 will premiere on FX in 2020. The renewal was announced Tuesday at the TCA summer press tour.
“Snowfall has continued its creative leap forward this season with the hard work and contributions of John Singleton and the brilliant performance of Damson Idris,” said Grad. “We are grateful to Dave Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Michael London, Trevor Engelson and Walter Mosley for honoring John’s legacy through their commitment to building on the artistic excellence of Snowfall with a fourth season on FX.”
The third season, currently airing, is set in the summer of 1984. Crack cocaine is spreading like wildfire through South Central Los Angeles, continuing its path of destruction and changing the culture forever.

Oa has gone missing -- again. Netflix has decided to cancel The Oa TV series after two seasons and 16 episodes.
A sci-fi mystery, The Oa stars Brit Marling, Emory Cohen, Scott Wilson, Phyllis Smith, Alice Krige, Patrick Gibson, Brendan Meyer, Brandon Perea, Ian Alexander, and Jason Isaacs. The story centers on Prairie Johnson (Marling), an adopted young woman who is blind when she goes missing, but returns years later, with her vision restored. Although she won't reveal what happened to her family and law enforcement, she now refers to herself as "The Oa." She assembles a team, tells them her tale, and says there are others they need to help.

The Oa is Doa at Netflix, and the star of the sci-fi mind-bender is now sharing her emotional reaction to the cancellation news.

“Zal and I are deeply sad not to finish this story,” said Brit Marling today of herself and The Oa co-creator Zal Batmanglij after Netflix pulled the plug on the series after two seasons. “The first time I heard the news I had a good cry,” the WGA Award nominee added Monday in an often raw and poignant letter on social media.
Coming off a now-unresolved cliffhanger ending and a somewhat aggressive though fruitless Emmy campaign for The Oa, the move sees yet another Netflix series unable to cross that Season 3 bar – even with heavy praise from the boss.

Netflix has canceled the mind-bending, dimension-crossing drama, The Oa, after a two-season run.
The Oa's Season 3 prospects are Doa – at least they are on Netflix, which has just canceled the series after two seasons, leaving it with a 16-episode legacy.
Netflix’s cancelation of The Oa occurs nearly five months after the March 22, 2019 premiere of its second season; a long-awaited frame by fans, who had been waiting since the December 16, 2016 debut of the initial season. Indeed, while the series – the unique creation of its star, Brit Marling, and Zal Batmanglij – never quite enjoyed the Netflix pop culture pageantry of Stranger Things, it has built itself a cult following, based on its unconventional approach to seemingly conventional dramatic tropes, specifically when it comes to mysteries centered on amnesiac protagonists.

There will be no third season for The Oa. Netflix has opted not to renew the mystery drama series that reunited Sundance veterans Brit Marling and director Zal Batmanglij.
The news comes four and a half months after Season 2 of The Oa was released on March 22.

“The Oa” will not be back for a third season at Netflix, Variety has learned.
The mystery thriller starred Brit Marling as a blind woman who disappeared seven years ago only to suddenly return with her sight restored. Now referring to herself as The Oa, or Original Angel, she then recruits a small team to help rescue other people who have disappeared by opening a portal to another dimension.

Marling co-created the series along with Zal Batmanglij in addition to starring. Both also executive produced along with Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Sarah Esberg from Plan B Entertainment and Anonymous Content’s Michael Sugar.

Okay, so here’s the thing. This month I wanted to find a good deep cut from the great Tom Atkins, whose charm and mustache thrilled us throughout the ’80s, even as he played a lecherous doctor, a kinda lecherous resident of a quaint seaside town, and a caustic cop haunted by his past (who I assume was also a lech). So when I dove into his filmography in search of a lesser-known vehicle, I perked up when I found the 1980 psychological drama The Ninth Configuration.
Alas, after watching the film, it turns out that Atkins has a relatively minor role, but there’s no way I could skip this movie, as it features a Murderers’ Row of horror character actor royalty. And so I figured, since baseball season did just start...*Puts on best Bob Uecker voice from Major League.*

We are just five days away from the second season of The Oa, which is being called The Oa Part 2, and I am so dang excited! The first season came out over two years ago and was so beautiful and refreshing. The season left us on an emotional cliffhanger with questions and concerns about the characters we came to know and love, and we’ve been pining for the show to come back and continue the story. From the intriguing and bizarre trailer we’ve seen, I’m not so sure we will get as many questions answered as we will get new questions. But I can’t wait to check it out.
Some critics have already been given access to the new season, and here’s what some of the reviewa had to say:

Dude, the day has come. I was starting to believe we may never get a second season of The Oa, but now we have a full trailer and release date for the second season. The Netflix series began when the first season dropped on December 16, 2016. The story followed a young woman who had somehow been separated from her adoptive parents, and when she was recovered in a hospital after surviving a jump from a bridge, her sight was restored and her story was a mystery. The whole first season unfolded giving us a story we had no idea we were getting into. The first season is so gripping, and the story is so unusual and beautiful. I just can’t wait for the second season.

More than two years after renewing The Oa for Season 2 — er, sorry, Part II — Netflix has released a premiere date and immersive trailer for the supernatural-tinged drama.
When it premiered back in December of 2016, the TVLine #PeakTV Treasure starred Brit Marling (who co-created the series with Zal Batmanglij) as Prairie Johnson, a young woman who returned to her adoptive parents from a years-long vanishing, now no longer blind. Alternately seen as a miracle and a dangerous threat, Prairie aka The Oa gradually confided the fantastic story of her “missing” years to a small group of locals, in order to recruit them for a mission.

While Academy Awards producers have strived for a much shorter ceremony this year, the annual “In Memoriam” segment will definitely remain. In fact this moment on Sunday’s 2019 event should be extra classy since Gustavo Dudamel and the L.A. Philharmonic will be performing as part of the tribute.
Over 100 Academy members or film industry veterans died in the past 12 months. But which ones will be featured in the short segment? There are generally outcries each year from family members upset about people being left out. Visit our own Gold Derby memoriam galleries for the year of 2018 and the newly-started gallery for 2019.
