| African-American Film Critics Association Names 'Moonlight' and 'Queen Sugar' Best of 2016 Posted:
The AAFCA, which according to its website aims to "bring greater recognition to the work of writers, directors and actors of color," hailed this year's creative offerings, with co-founder Shawn Edwards noting that there were numerous deserving recipients to choose from. Though no overt reference to the recent #OscarsSoWhite backlash facing the Academy Awards was made, Edwards made it clear that this year's honorees were a step in the right direction for Hollywood. "It was an exceptional year in terms of the quantity and quality of films about the black experience," Edwards said in a statement. "And while this by no means solves the diversity issue in the film industry, it was definitely refreshing to have such a wide range of exceptional work to choose from to honor and celebrate with our approval." "The number of incredible performances by black actors and actresses added to a very competitive field of performances and represents a step toward inclusion that our membership warmly embraces," added AAFCA president and co-founder Gil Robertson in another statement. "We look forward to what 2017 has in store." The full list of honorees in both film and television is below. The African-American Film Critics Association will hand out its awards at a ceremony in Los Angeles on February 4.

| Ryan Reynolds Wants to Make a Deadpool and Wolverine Movie Posted:
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Reynolds -- a newly-minted Golden Globe nominee -- said he desperately wants to make one more Deadpool-Wolverine movie, even though Jackman has said that the upcoming third standalone Wolverine film, "Logan," will be his last appearance as the X-Men hero. "What we're gonna have to do is convince Hugh," Reynolds told EW. "If anything, I'm going to need to do what I can to get my internet friends back on board to help rally another cause down the line." Those internet friends were mighty helpful in getting "Deadpool" made, so if anyone is up to the task of changing Jackman's mind, it's certainly Reynolds's faithful -- and unrelenting -- fans. And while Reynolds admits that part of the appeal of reuniting the characters (who first appeared together in 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine") is Wolverine's inherent awesomeness and their onscreen spark, it's also because Jackman is, according to Reynolds, "one of the best human beings." "Part of the reason I want to do a Deadpool/Wolverine movie is not just because I think the two would light the screen on fire, but [because] I genuinely love the guy," the actor explained to EW. Keep your fingers crossed, and keep tweeting at Jackman, superhero fans. [via: Entertainment Weekly] Photo credit: Getty Images This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Meghan Markle Pens Powerful Essay on Her Experience as a Biracial Woman Posted:
In a powerful essay penned for Elle UK, Markle wrote about what it was like growing up with a black mother and white father, and how her mixed-race identity was a confusing topic for not only strangers to grasp, but for Markle herself to come to terms with. Though her parents did their best to shield her from outside ignorance, Markle remembers an assignment in seventh grade that asked her to check off her ethnicity in a box, choosing either white or black. Later, Markle's father urged her to "draw [her] own box," a lesson she's carried with her since then. The actress also detailed her experience when she first started her career in Hollywood, admitting she felt excluded by the industry's "label-driven" restrictions. "Every role has a label; every casting is for something specific," Markle explained. " ... Being 'ethnically ambiguous', as I was pegged in the industry, meant I could audition for virtually any role. ... Sadly, it didn't matter: I wasn't black enough for the black roles and I wasn't white enough for the white ones, leaving me somewhere in the middle as the ethnic chameleon who couldn't book a job." Markle's big break came when she auditioned for her role as Rachel Zane on "Suits," where "producers weren't looking for someone mixed, nor someone white or black for that matter," she wrote. "They were simply looking for Rachel." That open-mindedness changed Markle's life, and, she says, hopefully opened some minds across the country who were seeing someone like her on their television screens for the first time. The actress says she still struggles with her identity, specifically when it comes to some of the racial issues facing the country today, but is determined to be herself no matter what. "While my mixed heritage may have created a grey area surrounding my self-identification, keeping me with a foot on both sides of the fence, I have come to embrace that," Markle wrote. "To say who I am, to share where I'm from, to voice my pride in being a strong, confident mixed-race woman. That when asked to choose my ethnicity in a questionnaire as in my seventh grade class, or these days to check 'Other', I simply say: 'Sorry, world, this is not Lost and I am not one of The Others. I am enough exactly as I am.'" Read Markle's entire essay here. Photo credit: Getty Images This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| 'Aquaman' Adds Patrick Wilson as Villain ORM Posted:
According to Deadline, actor Patrick Wilson has been tapped to play ORM, also known as Ocean Master, opposite Jason Momoa's title character. ORM is Aquaman's human half-brother, who Deadline likens to Marvel's Loki (a.k.a. Thor's half-brother), though according to the trade, he's much more powerful than that mischievous god. Per DC Comics lore, ORM is "a rival for the throne of Atlantis, and wreaks havoc on the high seas and beneath them when he doesn't get his way," Deadline reports. Wilson has been carving out an eclectic career for himself, after getting his start in more dramatic roles ("Little Children," "Angels in America"). He's since dipped his toes into the horror genre (he's currently starring in the "Conjuring" series, in addition to headlining the "Insidious" franchise), as well as quirky television roles (a starring role on anthology series "Fargo," an appearance on HBO's "Girls"). Adding a superhero role to his resume seems like the next logical step for the versatile actor. In addition to Wilson and Momoa, "Aquaman" also stars Amber Heard as Mera, the titular hero's love interest. The James Wan-directed feature hits theaters on October 5, 2018.

| 50 Cent Threatens to Quit Starz's 'Power' After Golden Globes Snub Posted:
Curtis Jackson, a.k.a. 50 Cent, who stars in and executive produces Starz series "Power," took to Instagram after the nominations were announced, sharing some choice words for the Globes, the HFPA, and even his own network. "Golden globe's [sic] can s*ck a d*ck," the rapper-actor began his post. "I accept my series POWER was not intended to be a signature show for the network but it is the highest rated show." Jackson went on to say that he was done putting additional effort into promoting the series, and even hinted that he wanted his character, Kanan, to die, so he could leave the show entirely. "I got other sh*t to do," he said. In a second Instagram post, Jackson shared what appeared to be some fake artwork for season four of "Power," featuring boxer Floyd Mayweather. The star said he was "off the POWER train," and noted, "I gotta do something different." In a statement, Starz didn't address Jackson's threat specifically, but noted that it was unconcerned with the show's lack of love from the Golden Globes, citing its connection with viewers as its most important achievement. "We are grateful for the excellent work being done on 'Power' by the producers, cast and crew," the statement said. "We certainly think this exceptional show has been overlooked by various awards committees, but the fans have made it the second most watched show on premium cable in 2016...and those are accolades that mean just as much if not more." Variety also noted that an unnamed source from the network said that "there is no internal concern" at Starz that Jackson is actually leaving "Power," and that the cable net believes "the rapper/actor is extremely committed to the show."

| ABC Has a Southern Gothic Soap Opera Starring Reba McEntire in the Works Posted:
Cherry is working on a new project for ABC starring the country singer, reports Deadline. Still untitled, the series is described as a Southern Gothic soap opera. McEntire would play a local sheriff who joins forces with an FBI agent of Middle Eastern descent to investigate a possible act of terrorism in small-town Kentucky. The series sounds darker and more melodramatic than the shows McEntire has done before -- namely the comedies "Reba" and "Malibu Country" -- so the project offers an intriguing change. She'll likely benefit from Cherry's experience, given that he has proven to be a pro at soaps. The combination inspired enough interest to get ABC to give it a script commitment plus penalty in what Deadline describes as a "competitive situation." Cherry is writing the series, and his duties will also include serving as showrunner and executive producer. McEntire is also executive producing, along with Sabrina Wind of Cherry-Wind Productions and Acme Productions' Mindy Schultheis and Michael Hanel.

| Golden Globes 2017: Nominees React on Twitter Posted:
There were surprises and there were snubs, but the pack is an impressive one. While we haven't heard reactions from the entire field, some of the nominees shared just how enthused they were on Twitter. Thanks to their tweets, we got to share in their laughter, tears, and emojis. Some of the first-timers were particularly exuberant. (Can you blame them?)
As you can imagine, there was also a lot of gratitude expressed.
Others found more humorous or creative ways to convey their excitement.
We even got one in Spanish.

| New 'Sherlock' Season 4 Preview Teases Demons and Dark Secrets Posted:
When we pick up with the adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Dr. John Watson (Martin Freeman), expect them to be intense. The new preview, released this weekend, reinforces the message we saw in an earlier teaser -- that "it's not a game anymore." It also takes the warning a step further. From what the 40-second video shows us, there are demons that have been lying in wait and a chilling villain, played by Toby Jones. The preview offers interesting glimpses at the episodes to come. We see the titular detective in strange circumstances n various intriguing scenes: in front of a burning house, sprawled out on a table, and clutching a gun. Yet, after all the darkness, the trailer ends on an unexpected note: Sherlock looks straight into the camera and declares, "I love you." "Sherlock" premieres on PBS Masterpiece on Jan. 1.

| First 'Fast 8' Trailer: 'The Fate of the Furious' Pits Dom Against the Family Posted:
Universal Pictures finally dropped the first official trailer for the latest installment in the Fast and Furious franchise, and it doesn't disappoint. There's a new villain in town, and she is going to cause major trouble for Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his fast family. Played by Charlize Theron and described as "the very face of high-tech terrorism," she seems to have recruited an ally as unlikely as he is dangerous: Dom. "Did you ever think that you'd betray your family the way you did today?" she asks during the trailer. Needless to say, this presents unique challenges for the rest of the gang. They have to team up to catch Dom, and evidently, they're going to need bigger, faster, and flashier cars -- and even a tank -- to do it.The star-studded cast also includes Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Kurt Russell, and Jason Statham. Buckle up, because "The Fate of the Furious" races into theaters on April 14. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| 2017 Golden Globe Nominations: The 5 Biggest Snubs and Surprises Posted:
Here are five of their choices that knocked us out of our chairs. 1. A Deafening "Silence" Still, that's more than the silent treatment the Globe voters gave to "Silence." In their places: World War II drama "Hacksaw Ridge" -- which also earned nods for star Andrew Garfield and director Mel Gibson, to whom the foreign reporters of the HFPA have always been kinder than their American counterparts -- and rural new-noir "Hell or High Water." Both are acclaimed movies but were considered long-shots in this race. By the way, Garfield also stars in "Silence," so for Scorsese, the actor's nomination for Gibson's film over his probably adds insult to injury. 2. "Deadpool" The genre tends to get no love at awards time, but then again, the movie itself blew a raspberry at the genre, so maybe the filmmakers and the Globe voters were on the same page. Also, a worldwide gross of $783 million is hard to ignore; clearly, "Deadpool" was a favorite in many countries whose reporters are HFPA members. 3. Jon Snow, Killed Again Still, the one that hurts the most is Kit Harington. The "Game of Thrones" actor flippin' RETURNED FROM THE DEAD for your entertainment, then delivered his most dramatic season ever, culminating in the epic "Battle of the Bastards." Plus, he spent more than a year off-screen fooling the world into thinking he wasn't coming back. If that's not award-worthy acting, what is? 4. Issa Rae 5. "Finding Dory" Denied For the record, it's a stop-motion film about an orphaned boy, submitted by Switzerland this year as the country's entry into the Oscars' Best Foreign Language Film pool. It wowed 'me last May at Cannes. Still, fans of what is (so far) the biggest hit of 2016 have to wonder if there isn't something fishy about this selection.

| New 'Walking Dead' Season 7 Poster: Two Perfect Words Tease 2017 Return Posted:
Last night, the AMC series aired the Season 7 midseason finale, which was supersized to 90 minutes and ended with what fans had wanted from it the whole time: Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) returning to Beast Mode, most of the group reuniting, and everyone agreeing it's time to fight back against Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
(Meanwhile, while the midseason finale was airing, Negan won himself a Critics' Choice Award. He really can't be stopped, even on other networks.) Monday morning, AMC rewarded loyal fans with a new key art poster to promote the show's 2017 return:
Rise up! Bring. It. On. The first half really tried our patience sometimes, but now we're onto something. Alexandria, Hilltop, and the Kingdom are all aware of the Negan threat and seem poised to team up -- despite Carol (Melissa McBride) wanting to be left the hell alone and Morgan (Lennie James) still not being ready to take more lives. And don't forget about Oceanside, 'cause they may swoop in to save the day "Battle of the Bastards"-style, once the war starts. This should get pretty cool. But, for now, we wait. That's the annoying part. Things are just getting good ... so of course they stop the show for two months. Sigh. "The Walking Dead" Season 7 returns Sunday, Feburary 12 on AMC.

| Harry Potter's Matthew Lewis Is Engaged to Universal Studios Employee Posted:
TMZ shared a photo from Jones's private Instagram page, showing her with her new fiance and engagement ring in front of the Eiffel Tower. A spokesman confirmed the news to MailOnline, saying, "They're both over the moon. They got together in July and hit it off straight away."
The "July" note is interesting, since TMZ noted that July is when Jones's divorce from her first husband was finalized. If that's really when they "got together" then they had only been dating for four months when they got engaged. But when you know, you know. Lewis hasn't personally addressed the big news yet, and he may not. He is a pretty private guy, and his Twitter is currently devoted to cute dog photos and promotion for children's charities. Although now known as Hot Neville, Matthew Lewis wasn't always considered a heartthrob, and it came as a shock to author J.K. Rowling to see a very grown-up Lewis flash his ripped body in Attitude magazine, making for a hilariously awkward Twitter convo. Sorry, Jo, he's not your little Gryffindor anymore!

| Holy Sith, the First 'Rogue One' Reviews May Make You Weep Posted:
Not even the Millennium Falcon could fly hopes for "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" any higher, but -- based on early reactions -- Jyn Erso's rebel yell will not let you down. Far from it. Lucky critics and fans got a look at the standalone movie at the Los Angeles premiere and shared quick thoughts on Twitter. (Full reviews will be posted starting Tuesday.) Because the film had major reshoots, and some shuffling behind-the-scenes, many fans worried for the final product. Their lack of faith was disturbing, and apparently unwarranted. Here are some of the reactions:
So that's what they thought. The timeline places "Rogue One" right before "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope," but it remains to be seen where fans will rank it on their list of favorites: toward the OGs, the prequels, or the just-starting-sequels? "Rogue One," directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Felicity Jones, opens this Friday, December 16. Want more stuff like this?

| Trump Names Walter White to Head DEA in Genius 'SNL' Cold Open Posted:
Bryan Cranston didn't host "Saturday Night Live" on December 10, but he both opened and stole the show in a surprise return to his iconic "Breaking Bad" role. Cranston's Walter White was interviewed by CNN's Jake Tapper (Beck Bennett) in the cold open, which also featured President-Elect Donald Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway (Kate McKinnon). Apparently Walter White faked his own death and has just been "off the grid for a while." Steve Bannon discovered White "under the comments section at Breitbart" and recommended him to Donald Trump as the new head of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Tapper was confused about the appointment since White was introduced as just "a high school science teacher from New Mexico."
White also drops his classic "I am the one who knocks" line but, sadly, not "I am the danger." Want more stuff like this? Like us on Facebook. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| 21 Things You Never Knew About 'Jerry Maguire' Posted:
Released 20 years ago this week (on December 13, 1996), Cameron Crowe's sports-themed romantic dramedy gave us Tom Cruise at his most charming, made a star of Renée Zellweger, made an Oscar-winner of Cuba Gooding Jr. and generated at least three indelible catchphrases. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of this '90s classic, here are some mission statement-worthy facts you need to know. 12. To prepare for the scene where she has to clock Cruise, Kelly Preston trained with celebrated boxer Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini. He hired a kid with a McDonald's ad on his résumé, Jonathan Lipnicki. The five-year-old and Cruise had a rapport, maybe because, as Lipnicki told Cruise at his audition, "Top Gun" was his favorite movie, one he'd seen 20 times. Lipnicki brought to the picture Ray's look (the spiky hair, the glasses) and the line about the human head weighing eight pounds. That got cut from the film, and all that was left was Rod's rant criticizing the shoe company. Reebok sued the studio for $10 million for breach of contract, a suit that was settled out of court. Rod's Reebok ad was restored to the film in TV broadcasts and on the Special Edition DVD. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
