Does it get any more festive than snow in New York? I know many, many people have the lifelong dream of spending Christmas in the Big Apple and I have to admit that it is a dream that I also share! The closest I am probably ever going to get to this dream was the opening moments of the new Netflix original series Dash and Lily which involves a panning camera which showing the classic New York buildings complete with snow falling from the sky!
Dash and Lily follows all the conventions of your classic teenage ‘relatable’ series; for example the contrast between Dash who hates Christmas with a passion, against Lily who loves the festive period.

Seeing as how Netflix’s new teen rom-com series Dash & Lily is practically a New York City fairy tale, it makes sense that a decent amount of its story takes place in a pizza parlor. That pizzeria, Two Boots, is the workplace of Dante Brown’s character, Boomer, and home of many romantic book swaps between the titular…...

This Dash & Lily review contains no spoilers.
With a big, beating heart and a surprising amount of insight, Netflix’s series Dash & Lily is here to remind us of the world outside and the magical feeling of falling in love in the “before-time.” Based on the young adult book series Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares from Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (who wrote Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist) Dash & Lily continues in the proud tradition of Netflix romcoms and Netflix holiday fare of small-scale stories with warmth.
Lily, a shy teenager who’s sick of being the only one without a partner, optimistically puts a red moleskin notebook in New York’s famous Strand bookstore among some of her favorite books (Salinger) for a fellow bookworm to find. Inside the book is a puzzle and a dare, which heartbroken loner Dash finds and is eager to solve.

Merry early Christmas: Netflix dropped the trailer for its upcoming holiday rom-com series “Dash & Lily” Friday, giving you a taste of the magical relationship Lily (Midori Francis) and Dash (Austin Abrams) will form one Christmas break when he discovers a notebook that she left in her favorite New York City book store for some lucky boy to find. Well, that boy is Dash, and he plays along with her “Do you dare?” requests inside the pages, leaving his answers for her to find when she returns for the book.
The two are clearly drawn to each other, and become closer and closer the more time they spend “together” running around NYC. The only problem they seem to face is that Lily loves Christmas and Dash hates it. Oh, and the fact they’ve yet to actually meet in person, of course.

This week on CBS’ NCIS, the Case of the Week becomes the Kasie of the Week, when the forensic scientist’s personal and professional worlds dramatically collide.
In the episode “Institutionalized” (airing Tuesday at 8/7c), when a petty officer’s son is found murdered at his “Welcome Home From Prison” party, Kasie’s lifelong best friend, Dante Brown (played by Devale Ellis), emerges as a suspect. Not helping Dante’s case is the matter of some prior arrests, though the nature of those past offenses brings up the issues of mandatory minimums and how such sentencings can paint an inaccurate picture.

Octavia Spencer does some crazy, crazy stuff in “Ma,” from locking up teenagers to sewing their mouths shut. The actress was game for a lot, director Tate Taylor tells TheWrap, but was scared of shooting one particular scene in the horror movie.
“She was so game, her favorite guilty pleasure in real life is watching murder TV and forensic shows — she loves it,” Taylor said. “The only thing she wasn’t excited about was that huge explosion in the basement — that was real and it was scary.”
To calm Spencer down, Taylor said, a “really handsome” special effects guy gave her a big hug and told her: “Look me in the eye — we’ve got this.” In fact, the scene was incredibly difficult to shoot because they just had one day to shoot it.

Legendary Entertainment and Warner Bros.’ “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” took first place at the box office this weekend, grossing $49 million domestically and a little lower than initial projections which pegged the film to open between $55-65 million.
In comparison, the 2014 “Godzilla” grossed $93.1 million in its opening weekend, and “Kong: Skull Island” ended up with a $61 million opening in March 2017. Overseas, the $170 million-budgeted movie took in $130 million — which is again under the $140 million international gross for the 2014 film.
“Godzilla: King of the Monsters” is directed by Michael Dougherty and finds the legendary kaiju monster facing off against his greatest titanic foes, including Mothra, Rodan and the three-headed dragon King Ghidorah. Its score of Rotten Tomatoes is 40% and its CinemaScore if B+.

High school can be hell. Between peer pressures and hormones, it’s a hotbed for drama, and it’s no wonder films about teenagers remain ripe for the big screen. Some directors build entire careers upon humanizing the teenage experience, but for every Fast Times at Ridgemont High, She’s All That, and American Graffiti, darker visions exist. Tate Taylor’s Ma is a film about high school in a different vein than Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart or Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird. It’s a bold mutation of the subgenre—a truth or consequences version that shines a light on cross-generational cause and effect. It’s also a strange, wild, messy, and uneven film that stands out as a completely balls-to-the-wall bonkers studio release. Octavia Spencer is a powerhouse from the get-go, yet I only wish the film recognized its potential to flesh out its compelling foundation.

Director Tate Taylor (The Help) was looking to make a movie for Octavia Spencer that would allow her to do something different than anything she’s ever done before. So, they teamed up to develop a new horror thriller called Ma.
The story centers on a lonely middle-aged woman who ends up befriending a group of teenage friends and letting them party in her basement. The relationship she starts to have with these kids becomes an obsession to her and it eventually turns into a terrifying ordeal for these teens as she starts to stalk them and as you’ve seen in the trailers… torture them.
Personally, I think they gave a little too much away in the trailers for the movie, but there are a few surprises and story twists that are revealed as the story unfolds. The movie is a fun horror-filled ride, though, and it’s one...

Octavia Spencer spends the majority of “Ma” wearing pink cat scrubs and a purple-striped cardigan. When it’s time for one of her infamous ragers, she changes into an all-burgundy number with a matching ’90s-style puffy newsboy cap, as she scurries between her dreary office and the liquor store, where she buys booze for a group of local teenagers. If the whole point of director Tate Taylor’s overstuffed mess of mixed horror messages could be summarized in one redeeming line, it would be when Ma tells the kids, “They didn’t have whatever Fireball is, so I got something called After Shock.”
It’s endless fun to see Spencer in such a wildly different role; she won an Oscar for her previous teaming with Taylor in “The Help,” but that’s not enough to save “Ma” from thankless material. Produced by Blumhouse, the studio behind “Get Out” and “Us,...

Everybody’s welcome at Ma’s. But good luck getting home safe.
Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer stars as Sue Ann, a loner who keeps to herself in her quiet Ohio town. One day, she is asked by Maggie, a new teenager in town, to buy some booze for her and her friends, and Sue Ann sees the chance to make some unsuspecting, if younger, friends of her own.

Fox has canceled its troubled cop series “Lethal Weapon” after three seasons, Variety has learned.
The show originally starred Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans as a buddy cop duo, however, Variety reported that the pair were far from friendly and fought regularly off-camera, leading to Crawford’s sacking. Season three continued with Seann William Scott replacing Crawford, however, Wayans announced he was quitting and show, and coupled with a steep decline in ratings, it’s no great surprise that Fox decided to pull the plug.
The show averaged a 0.71 rating in the key 18-49 demographic and just over 3 million total viewers per episode in Season 3, which was a significant dip from the season 2 average rating of 1.0 and average viewership of just over 4 million. Even those numbers represented a pretty substantial decline from season 1, which had an average rating of 1.57 and 6.5 million total viewers.

Oscar winner Octavia Spencer seems delightful, but you should be wary of when her "Ma" invites you to her house...
Do you like to party? How much? That is a question some teenagers will be put to the test of answering during Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions’ new movie, Ma.

But every party has its price.
