Bravo has greenlit 17 new series, including a "Real Housewives of Atlanta" spinoff starring Kandi Burruss. The network, which thrives on a frothy mix of fashion, feuding women, and a look at how the other half lives that leaves many viewers less than envious, is continuing its winning formula. Among its new reality shows is "Below Deck," which rehashes the "Upstairs Downstairs" formula, this time on the high seas. (It worked for "Titanic.") Bravo sticks to its familiar themes with three new scripted shows, which include "High and Low," about two rival, »

Bravo may have a new corporate supervisor at NBCUniversal, but the popular cabler’s programming tone looks to remain intact.
Known best, perhaps, for its unscripted programs centered on outsize and madcap personalities, Bravo expects to air 35 original series over the next programming year, including several docuseries. Bravo will develop a few scripted programs as well, executives from the network said during a Tuesday presentation to the media.
Bravo said the slate for the coming season features the largest number of original programs to date, up 15% on 2012. The network has found success by mining an audience of what it calls “affluencers” – high-income, highly-educated viewers in their 30s and 40s who are passionate about adult leisuretime activities, including food, fashion, beauty, design and popular culture. Executives said the network has seen its ratings among adults 18 to 49 rise 5% and its ratings among adults 25 to 54 rise 7%, per Nielsen, year to date.

Tomorrow, March 23, is Akira Kurosawa's birthday. The iconic and influential director would have been 103-years-old had he lived long enough to see it, but that isn't to say he hasn't left a lasting legacy keeping him alive in the hearts of cinephiles. To celebrate the occasion, Criterion and Hulu have made available 24 of Kurosawa's films on Hulu free of charge to nonsubscribers (with commercial interruptions, and only in the U.S.) through midnight Sunday, March 24 and it includes all the hits and then some. Now I haven't seen all of Kurosawa's films, but I would like to at least offer up some suggestions for those of you looking for a starting point, or just a diversion from all this Ncaa Basketball. 1.) Seven Samurai - The obvious starting point is Seven Samurai. It's the film most everyone immediately associates with Kurosawa even if it isn't necessarily one they consider his best or their favorite. »

Last month, Hulu made the entire Criterion Collection available for a few days, and now they're giving cinephiles another treat from the esteemed feature film collection. In case you didn't know, legendary director Akira Kurosawa's birthday is on March 23rd, and to celebrate the occasion, Hulu and Criterion have made all 24 of his films in the line-up available to watch for free from now until Sunday at midnight. This includes classics like Rashomon, Seven Samurai and Yojimbo along with his final film Madadayo. Sounds like the perfect opportunity for people to get acquainted with Kurosawa's filmography. Here's George Lucas talking about the influence Akira Kurosawa had on him from Hulu: All of the films total about 44 hours, so you can watch all of them if you're dedicated enough. Here's a list of the other Kurosawa films available for viewing: Drunken Angel, The Bad Sleep Well, The Hidden Fortress (which »

More than 14 months after winning a $5 million recording contract with Epic Records, and as The X Factor prepares for season-three auditions, the show’s inaugural winner, Melanie Amaro, is still album-less.
