The following article contains graphic descriptions of a violent homicide.

Homicide: New York opens its miniseries with an episode about the tragic death of Jennifer Stahl, an actress who appeared in Dirty Dancing and was murdered in cold blood. One of the few documentaries in the Dick Wolf universe of TV shows, Homicide: New York is a 2024 five-episode miniseries that uncovers different, grisly murders that have taken place in New York City. The series features detectives, investigators, prosecutors, and even those who knew the victims for an up-close and personal look at the crimes.

It isn't the first true-crime series that Dick Wolf has made, with Cold Justice and Criminal Confessions being notable entries in the genre, but it is the first Wolf production to be made for Netflix. The first episode of the series is titled, "Carnegie Deli Massacre" and it gets the show off on a frightening note with a triple homicide.

Spoilers are ahead for Fallout season 1.

Cooper Howard's past as an actor intersects with key Fallout moments, hinting at future storylines. Cooper's mention of Bakersfield alludes to Necropolis and Vault 12's potential appearance in the series. Fallout season 3 may explore Cooper's dreams in present-day Necropolis, raising the stakes post-New Vegas.

In Fallout season 1, the flashbacks to 2077 are just as revealing as the moments set in the post-apocalyptic Wasteland of 2296. Given that Walton Goggins' mutated bounty hunter, The Ghoul, is the former Hollywood star Cooper Howard, the character's story, in particular, unfolds across both of Fallout's timelines. During the first season, viewers learn that the actor was a Marine long before his wife, Barb (Frances Turner), encouraged him to be Vault-Tec's ambassador. As Cooper Howard explores what happened to his family, Barb and their daughter, Janey (Teagan Meredith), keep him going even in the present.

Stars: Wan DraL, Lesa Cole, Marcus Lawrence, Eliza Kelley, Josh Videna, David Norton, James Couche | Written and Directed by James Couche

“Imagine waking up and the world’s on fire…” Those words open Lost Phoenix, the ambitious indie action film that writer/director/actor James Couche has been working on since 2020, which is also the year the film is set in. They’re spoken by an amnesiac nicknamed Joe (Wan DraL) by his doctor. He’s just emerged from a five-month coma with no idea of who he is.

That proves to be a problem when Ice, acting on a tip that he’s an illegal immigrant, storms his hospital room. While he may not remember his name or be able to prove he’s in the country legally, he has remembered how to fight and promptly proves it.

On the run, he’s taken in by Barbara and hires...

The struggle to keep movie theaters alive gets very personal in “Showdown at the Grand,” an enjoyable tribute to retro exploitation pictures with Terrance Howard as a movie palace proprietor besieged by diminishing receipts and violent goons. Dolph Lundgren plays the former action star who shows up for a personal appearance, then stays to help save the joint from those agents of unscrupulous developers. More low-key homage than campy cartoon, writer-director Orson Oblowitz’s fourth feature does manage to deliver some tongue-in-cheek mayhem in an extended climax.

The setting is an actual vintage art deco temple for cinema, San Pedro’s Warner Grand, though rather than being managed by the City of Los Angeles (as it is off-screen), it’s kept alive here as a none-too-successful for-profit labor of love by George Fuller (Howard). Decked out in cowboy duds as if he were an actor himself, George is also projectionist,...

Evie and Hart are a married ghost-hunting team. Years ago Evie lost her daughter Faith, to a rare blood disease. Something their agent Arn is, much to her disgust, happy to play up in their publicity. After a disturbing encounter at a book signing Arn gets them a job. Unfortunately when they meet the client, Margaret she is even more disturbing, acting strangely and claiming, among other things, she may have cursed their souls. Whether or not that’s true, her face does appear in a mirror, smiling as she watches them in bed.

If it wasn’t for that shot it would be entirely too tempting to write Evie off as certifiably crazy by the end of The 3rd Guest’s first act. She’s supposed to...

FX will continue its work with Noah Hawley, with the network’s pickup of his developing horror series, The Bridgewater Triangle.

Noah Hawley’s serial television tenure with FX just got another lease on life. While the esteemed writer/producer has another season of Fargo on the backlog for 2020, it appears that another project has been lined up to replace the recently-ended run of his insanely avant-garde Marvel series, Legion, in this case, a horror thriller titled The Bridgewater Triangle.

FX has officially acquired The Bridgewater Triangle for development, reports Deadline. The story – centering on a real-life Massachusetts area with purported cryptozoic connections – is based on a short story of the same name by Brian Miller, who is attached to the TV project, set to adapt his own story for the pilot. He also authored Necropolis, which is currently in development at Bad Robot. For now, Bridgewater will see Miller join Hawley,...

Exclusive: In a competitive situation, FX has acquired The Bridgewater Triangle, a short story by Brian Miller, for television series development, with Noah Hawley and his 26 Keys executive producing. Miller is attached to write the pilot. The project falls under Hawley’s overall deal with FX and FX Productions.

The premise: Everyone’s heard of the Bermuda Triangle, but there’s a far more terrifying place known as The Bridgewater Triangle in southeastern Massachusetts. It’s an actual area of well-documented supernatural activity that covers 17 small towns and 200 square miles of New England. The Bridgewater Triangle is an apocalyptic horror thriller set in these small towns. When a massive paranormal event strikes these 17 communities simultaneously, it turns these idyllic towns upside down and affects thousands of lives. Three estranged siblings must somehow survive and come together in the chaos as the only ones who can stop it.

Hawley, one of FX’s top drama showrunners,...

Full Moon’s Deadly Ten initiative – in which 10 feature films will be produced back-to-back all over the world with each production being fully live-streamed online – strikes This Weekend as filmmaker and former Fangoria magazine editor Chris Alexander’s Necropolis: Legion goes to camera just outside of Toronto, Canada. Necropolis: Legion is a brooding and …

Einstein famously said that “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” I wonder if ol’ Albert would’ve changed his mind after giving Dark Souls a whirl, then? I say this because so many aspects of From Software’s intensely revered action-rpg riffs on this distinct ‘if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again’ motif.

From the game’s constantly resetting enemy positions to the unendingly cyclical nature of its narrative, to the interlocking M.C. Escher-esque world of Lordran, it’s the thoughtful blending of all these disparate elements into an electrifyingly addictive gameplay loop that sits at the heart of this brutally unforgiving experience. Delightfully, all this trying, trying again has been made a hell of a lot easier with Virtuoso’s latest port to Nintendo Switch (the China-based developer also ported L.A. Noire to the big N’s hybrid console).

Releas Date: Oct 21st, 2011 (DVD).

To kick off a new set of videos from Full Moon Entertainment requires only the legacy Charles Band could exist in. Part of the collection includes some of his earlier work from the 70’s, and all the discothèque styling and funky hairdos of the era hardly trademark the Grindhouse tradition. The variety of sensationalism being offered in the first set of DVDs and how they are packaged are what’s appreciated.

The Best of Sex and Violence, Auditions, and Film Gore, are the most promising. These volumes make for an interesting peek into the work that Charles Band was with or knew of at the time. The first title says it all, and the pornography featured is very tame by today’s standards. Some titles in Film Gore include: “Bury Me An Angel,” “The Devil’s Wedding Night,” “Sleeping Beauty,” and “The Boogeyman.” This collection...

Combine David Katzen­berg with writer Seth Grahame-Smith and the bizarre hybrid creation is Katz­Smith Productions, a company grabbing attention in Hollywood for imaginative mash-up ideas and a love of all things genre. The duo likes to mix-and-match history and horror, fuse crime sagas with ghost stories, and they love the idea of assassins avenging Wall Street malfeasance. Oh yeah, they also want to make a Beetlejuice sequel that die-hard fans will love.

They’re also developing a sick sense of humor animated comedy they describe as Married… With Children with Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist Stephen Hawking (if that isn...

The man in charge at Full Moon Pictures, Charles Band, announced on his site that he is releasing a line of flicks on DVD, some for the very first time. The series is called Full Moon’s Grindhouse, and some of the titles are Savage Island (Linda Blair), White Slave, Auditions and Necropolis. There will be a total of ten films, and the plan is to have them all available on his new site, Fullmoonhorror.com (launching October 21, 9 Pm Pst), by Halloween this year.
