Netflix is very quickly becoming the home of previous years’ box office disasters, and to prove a point, 2023’s crime thriller To Catch a Killer starring Shailene Woodley and Ben Mendelsohn is sitting at the top of the streamer’s movie chart. While the film is underrated by some, there is no way to deny that it was a complete flop at the box office, taking just $3.1 million at the box office on its initial release.
Damián Szifron directed and wrote the project, with Jonathan Wakeham also serving as a writer. Szifron and Woodley are also producers alongside Stuart Manashil (Watcher) and Aaron Ryder (Arrival). The movie plays out with very similar traits to The Silence of the Lambs, with a young agent being recruited by the FBI to track down a serial killer with her unique, disturbed view of the world.

Dylan McDermott as Remy Scott on FBI: Most Wanted. Pic credit: CBS
FBI: Most Wanted had an awkward start for Season 4.
The anticipated Season 4 premiere featured the first meeting of Barnes and Remy Scott that came amid a dangerous case.
It brought up the troubling real-life crimes that occur as the team tried to head off another tragedy.
The storyline had major tension between Barnes and Remy as it was clear Barnes was having trouble adjusting to a new team leader.
Meanwhile, Remy also had to handle a complex family dynamic with his mentally-addled mother, which was an unwanted distraction.

Based on the 2012 novel by David Levithan, Every Day serves up an intriguing blend of science-fiction fantasy and Ya romance. The film’s unusual conceit comes with a side order of problematic plot points, but the script and the performances ensure that its positive central message wins out.
Directed by Michael Sucsy, the film centres on a spirit known only as “A”, who wakes up every day in a different body, a bit like Sam Beckett in TV’s Quantum Leap. The bodies are always the spirit’s age (around 16) and always within the same geographical area, and A is careful not to meddle too much in the lives of each person he inhabits.

Ted creator Seth MacFarlane is being sued over film merchandise
Michael Cram, the inventor of a talking bottle opener, claims that the movie's promotional products - specifically the talking Ted bottle opener - infringe his copyright.
Cram, who has merchandise partnerships with the likes of Nascar and the NFL, claims that he created the no-button bottle opener and the talking beer mug.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, he claims that MacFarlane stole his idea for a talking bottle opener, which was sold along with special edition Ted DVDs.
Cram has a licensing deal with MacFarlane's Family Guy and therefore claims that the film's creator is well aware of the product being his intellectual property.
Ted 2 is being released on June 26.

Now, picking up where we left off ...
Season 4 of "Rookie Blue" wrapped up Thursday (Sept. 12) with "You Can See the Stars," the two-part season finale's conclusion handled by two of the series' executive producers and behind-the-scenes reliables, writer (and showrunner) Tassie Cameron and director David Wellington.
With their typical expertise bountifully evident, it's a very safe bet that any fan who was there to the final scene now feels Season 5 can't come soon enough.
The show really did pick up at the end of the previous chapter, with alleged pedophile Kevin Ford (Michael Cram) again knocking out his handcuffed captive: Officer Oliver Shaw (Matt Gordon), who was in the trunk of his police car, parked in a remote area.
Sam (Ben Bass) interrogated his girlfriend -- and Ford's stalker -- Marlo (Rachael Ancheril) about the last time she saw Ford, while Nick (Peter Mooney) tried to radio Oliver. Unbeknownst to him,...

Sam (Ben Bass) interrogated his girlfriend -- and Ford's stalker -- Marlo (Rachael Ancheril) about the last time she saw Ford, while Nick (Peter Mooney) tried to radio Oliver. Unbeknownst to him,...

As the current round of "Rookie Blue" nears its end, Officer Oliver Shaw's fate is hanging in the balance. And the actor who plays him couldn't be happier.
"He did get shot, but that was by no means as dangerous as what's happening to Oliver now," Matt Gordon tells Zap2it of the cliffhanger that's set up the ABC police drama's Season 4 finale Thursday (Sept. 12). Shaw is now the captive of Kevin Ford (Michael Cram), a suspected pedophile seeking revenge against the cops of 15 Division for his recent arrest and interrogation ... and for his stalking by Officer Marlo Cruz (Rachael Ancheril).
"It's the most I've ever done on the show," the good-humored Gordon says of the season-ending episode, which puts him through physically and emotionally grueling scenes. "You always want that stuff. Then, of course, when you spend two days in the same spot doing exactly the same thing,...

Before he could talk about any of the details, "Rookie Blue" co-star Gregory Smith said the episode he directed this season was "big."
He wasn't kidding.
"Under Fire," Thursday's (Sept. 5) intense chapter of the ABC police drama, was the first half of the show's Season 4 finale -- and though it seems a cliche to say it put most of the regular characters in the line of fire, it truly did. And no one knew that more in the opening moments than Andy and Chloe (Missy Peregrym, Priscilla Faia).
The hour began on a light note with the gang playing trivia at The Black Penny, and Chloe won. Things started veering toward the serious as Gail (Charlotte Sullivan) found Holly (Aliyah O'Brien) waiting there to meet someone else, while at home, Andy told Nick (Peter Mooney) of her ongoing guilt over having doctored Marlo's (Rachael Ancheril) police memo book at Sam's (Ben Bass) urging.

Heading into the home stretch of its fourth season, "Rookie Blue" is letting some of its cops play very close to the edge.
Marlo (Rachael Ancheril) is a prime example, especially as of Thursday's (Aug. 29) episode of the ABC police drama, "Deception." The hour opened by showing her parked across the street from the home of Kevin Ford (guest star Michael Cram), the alleged pedophile who was a suspect when Chris' (Travis Milne) supposed son disappeared in the episode "What I Lost" two weeks ago.
Marlo clearly hadn't given up pursuing him, and he caught her peering into his house -- and claiming "harassment," he said he intended to call her bosses. "Your career's over!," he shouted after her.
Elsewhere, Andy (Missy Peregrym) roused a sleeping Nick (Peter Mooney) after a night spent together. "Whatever this is," he told her of their new relationship, "I don't totally hate it." She concurred,...

Rachael Ancheril surely has stirred the pot since joining "Rookie Blue" this year.
And with three weeks left in the ABC police drama's fourth season, she's not done yet. Thursday's (Aug. 29) new episode sees her character, Officer Marlo Cruz, cross a very big line: She continues her self-assigned surveillance of the alleged pedophile (guest star Michael Cram) suspected, but eventually cleared, in the recent disappearance of Officer Chris Diaz's (Travis Milne) supposed son.
When the man is found assaulted in his home, circumstances implicate Marlo, whose bipolar condition also leads others to ponder whether she was involved in the attack. It's rich material for a series co-star, particularly a relatively new one, and Toronto native Ancheril appreciates the opportunity.
"The bipolar aspect was really a very big thing for me in prepping for the character," she tells Zap2it. "I've always thought that with Marlo, her job is the No.

If a character is going to return to a show, he may as well do it in a big way.
So it was for Chris (Travis Milne) in "What I Lost," Thursday's (Aug. 15) episode of ABC's "Rookie Blue." His visit to Toronto with his family initially revealed an even-more-fun side of Andy and Nick (Missy Peregrym, Peter Mooney), who played with Chris' young son Christian at a park playground, but things turned very serious very fast.
As the former undercover partners started to have a conversation about whether to embark on a personal relationship, they were distracted by a woman's cry for help after her companion collapsed. Nick and Andy ran to the rescue -- and when Andy returned, Christian was gone.
Oliver (Matt Gordon) began to lead the investigation, but Andy didn't deal well with suddenly being cast in the role of victim. And upon his arrival at the scene,...

Jeff Balsmeyer’s second feature, Ingenious, may be about a couple of down on their luck inventors and salesmen, but you can’t help but get the sense that it says a lot about indie film at the same time. It takes a certain amount of drive, and love of one’s craft to dedicate so much to something that doesn’t always deliver rewards. And in Ingenious, you can feel that drive and love, both in front of the camera, and behind it.
Ingenious tells the true story of two best friends Matt (Dallas Roberts) and Sam (Jeremy Renner), two novelty item inventors who are at the very bottom of rock bottom. Their current line of watches inspired by dogs, golf, and the lottery just aren’t taking off as much as they hoped and they’re at the end of their line.

CTV, a Canadian TV network, still hasn't officially announced the renewal of Flashpoint for a third season. However, according to the Ontario Media Development Corporation (Omdc), the third season of this procedural drama created by Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern has been in production since January 13, 2010.

CBS has been having a great season. Several of their new shows have been successful and many of their established series are still doing well. Unfortunately, that could be bad news for fans of a little show called Flashpoint.
Flashpoint follows the work of a group of highly trained police officers called the Strategic Response Unit (Sru). The series stars Enrico Colantoni, David Paetkau, Hugh Dillon, Sergio Di Zio, Michael Cram, Mark Taylor, Ruth Marshall, and Amy Jo Johnson.
The show was initially produced for Canada's CTV and CBS picked up the rights to air season one during the writers strike. It ended up performing well for the network and that led CBS to join CTV in renewing it for seasons two and three.
