The Walking Dead‘s Michael Cudlitz is going from the wastelands of a zombie apocalypse to the highrises of Metropolis when he joins the cast of Superman & Lois for the show’s third season. According to Entertainment Weekly, Cudlitz is playing a new version of the supervillain genius known to hold the DC Universe in a vice-like grip tighter than Superman’s most aggressive handshake.

BET+ is venturing into the historical/period pieces with this intriguing mini-series inspired by real events!

The Porter dives into the height of the North American railway system, mainly for Black workers who made their bread and butter in the transportation business as porters, a job that was one of the most common for Black men at the time.

And through what promises to be an enthralling series, The Porter draws from the formation of the first Black Union.

Through The Porter, we follow two train porters who were as close as ever, Junior Massey and Zeke Garrett.

One tragedy strikes on the job, leaving the community reeling; the two set on completely different paths that will inevitably conflict with one another in their dogged pursuit of a better life and all that it entails as Black men during the early 1920s.

Junior takes an "if you can't beat them,...

"I used to work for some very dangerous people." Universal has released a quick new 30-second Super Bowl TV spot for Nobody, the wild new action movie from the Russian director of the Pov movie Hardcore Henry. This one is basically Bob Odenkirk as John Wick - a "nobody" suburban dad decides to fight back one day and becomes the top target of a a vengeful drug lord and his cronies. No one messes with his family. We ran the first trailer back in December, and the release has since been delayed until April (originally set for February) but will hopefully stay solid now. Bob Odenkirk stars as Hutch, with a big cast including Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, J.P. Manoux, Paul Essiembre, Humberly González, Araya Mengesha, Gage Munroe, and famed Russian actor Aleksey Serebryakov. This is just a mix of footage from the original trailer, but it still looks a...

After “Hamilton” made an earwormy global phenomenon from the life story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton, no chapter of history can be declared too dour for spangly, heart-on-sleeve musical treatment — though the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 is still a pretty unlikely candidate. The stage roots of “Stand!” go back further than Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway smash: It’s been 15 years since it first hit Canadian stages under the title “Strike!,” and the eventual film adaptation has the air of a patient, resourceful labor of love, while also showing why the material wasn’t more immediately rushed before cameras. Earnest and plainly felt, this grafting of a cross-cultural romance onto the story of a critical turning point in Canadian workers’ rights doesn’t want for incident and emotional commitment, but Robert Adetuyi’s film does fall a little short on showmanship.

Having bowed on home soil in 2019, “Stand!” received a one-day engagement in U.

"Its been a hell of a day." Universal Pictures has unveiled the first official trailer for an action crime thriller titled Nobody, the latest from the Russian director of the Pov mayhem film Hardcore Henry. This one is basically Bob Odenkirk as John Wick - a "nobody" suburban dad decides to fight back one day and becomes the top target of a a vengeful drug lord and his cronies. Awesome! I love a good nobody is actually a badass somebody, don't underestimate him, kind of gnarly story. Bob Odenkirk stars as Hutch Mansell, joined by Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, J.P. Manoux, Paul Essiembre, Humberly González, Araya Mengesha, Gage Munroe, and famed Russian actor Aleksey Serebryakov. Where did this come from and why does it look like so much good fun?! It's not exactly John Wick all over again, but I dig the setup and Odenkirk seems perfect for this role.

Can college sweethearts found love again years later, during the holiday season, no less?

We would like to think that they can, and that's the question that's posed on Let's Meet Again on Christmas Eve.

Kyla Pratt, a Lifetime Christmas film veteran, returns this holiday season as Corrine, a young woman who may have let the love of her life go after college.

According to the synopsis, Corrine and Rob (Brooks Darnell) were young sweethearts with their lives ahead of them, but when they jumped on individual opportunities on opposite sides of the globe, they parted ways.

However, they made a deal. Corrine and Rob both agreed that two years later, on Christmas Eve, they would meet up once more to determine if they truly were meant for one another.

But, of course, life had other plans, and it left one of them at their spot waiting, and the other person didn't show.

"The world changes one heart at a time." Catch the official US trailer for a movie musical version of a stage show about a workers revolt called Stand!, directed by Canadian filmmaker Robert Adetuyi. This Canadian musical is actually about America and a workers strike in 1919. The music, lyrics and score are by Danny Schur (of Made In Winnipeg: The Terry Sawchuk Origin Story) and the film features Lisa Bell’s show-stopping performance of the protest song "Stand!" An immigrant Romeo & Juliet battle for love and a better life during a time of social upheaval, in this musical is set against the true story of the general worker strikes of 1919. The film stars Marshall Williams, Laura Wiggins, Lisa Bell, Gregg Henry, Erik Athavale, Paul Essiembre, and Hayley Sales. This looks like a good story about the workers rising up and fighting back against vile greed and wealth. Maybe it's time we do this yet again!

Spring and summer were, pretty much, a bust.

But we have a lot of hope for fall despite the 2020 issues that are still struggling to hang on to our attention.

Fall is beautiful, and even though trees are dying, their loss offers some of the most fragrant scents of the year.

On that happy note, we're pleased to report that Hallmark Channel is rolling out a new slate of Fall Harvest movies, and we couldn't be happier. Let's take a look at what's coming.

Love at Daisy Hills

September 19 at 9/8c

There's no middle ground to Patricia Heaton's newest television effort: She's very happy to be a producer.

As she continues starring in ABC's Wednesday sitcom "The Middle," now in its fourth season, the two-time Emmy winner for "Everybody Loves Raymond" also is behind a project that's a family matter in several ways. Debuting Sunday, Dec. 2, the Hallmark Channel movie "The Christmas Heart" was written by Heaton's brother Michael, a reporter for the Cleveland Plain Dealer -- as was their late father, Chuck, a noted sportswriter.

"I think Michael's passion for his other writing comes from his being able do these kinds of stories," Heaton tells Zap2it. "As a journalist, you pretty much report facts, so to be able to spin this wonderful tale out of your imagination is sort of a nice outlet. We've had this story around for a long time; I talked about it in a meeting with Hallmark,...
