One of the shows I’m really looking forward to this fall is the ABC series No Ordinary Family… even though it hasn’t officially been picked up yet, though I can’t imagine it won’t get picked up. The show boasts a wonderful cast (Michael Chiklis, Julie Benz, Autumn Reeser, Romany Malco, Kay Panabaker, Jimmy Bennett) and a high-concept premise of a seemingly normal family who discover they have superhero-like abilities. Earlier today I was at the red carpet of The Streamy Awards, a relatively new award show celebrating the best of Internet-based programming, I had the chance to speak with Autumn Reeser, and she was certainly excited for the series....

Hong has been the source of personal controversy in his native country, as he had an ongoing affair with one of his favorite actresses to cast, Kim Min-hee, but his movies belong to a specific style that can only be attributed to Hong....

Thanks to advances in CGI, film techniques, and even new creative material, the horror genre has never been better. Within the last few years of the 2020s, the horror genre has seen a surge in movies that have both a compelling plot and some form of evil.
