The launch of Jessica Sebastian-Dayeh and Hallmark’s first home renovation series holds a different weight after losing her own home just two months before its premiere.
Sebastian-Dayeh’s now destroyed Malibu home was one of the over 16,000 structures that burned down in the devastating Los Angeles fires in January. The executive producer and creator of Hallmark’s first-ever home renovation series “Home is Where the Heart Is” tells TheWrap that the title still resonates with her.
“I feel comfortable promoting this series, because the DNA of this series is how I feel truthfully about ‘home’ having lost my home,” she said. “It is where your heart is, because you build so many memories there, and so this series is about emotion and about your attachment to a home and about history and about memories and infusing that in design.”

“Mermaid” introduces us to a troubled man who stumbles into an unusual circumstance that turns his mundane life upside down. The film unfolds as a curious mix of horror, dark romance, absurd comedy, and satire, presenting a narrative that is both offbeat and emotionally charged. It tells the story of a man battling personal demons in a setting that feels almost like a character in its own right. A chance encounter with a creature from the deep marks the beginning of his transformation, setting the stage for a tale where loneliness and unexpected affection collide.
Tyler Cornack, known for his distinct approach to storytelling in his earlier work, brings a signature style marked by dry humor intertwined with a sense of melancholy. In “Mermaid,” his direction feels like a personal tribute to the state that provides the backdrop for this eccentric adventure.

Welcome back to Origins, our recurring series that gives artists a space to break down everything that went into their latest release. Today, indie folk favorites The Head and the Heart return to announce their sixth album, Aperture, and break down “After the Setting Sun.”
The Head and the Heart are back to announce their sixth album, Aperture, set for release on May 9th (pre-orders are ongoing). To go along with the announcement, Consequence is premiering the album’s lead single, “After the Setting Sun,” and sharing the band’s Origins breakdown.
Aperture arrives with a sense of new for The Head and the Heart. For one, it’s their first release since signing to Verve Forecast, joining fellow folk and Americana talents like Madison Cunningham and Joy Oladokun. But perhaps more crucially, the project is the band’s first entirely self-produced album, and their first with a brand new songwriting style.

The DC Universe and The Batman Epic Crime Saga are no longer DC Studios' only shared universes. My Adventures with Superman showrunner/executive producer Jake Wyatt has confirmed that a recently announced animated series will exist within the same universe as the 2023 cartoon.
At a recent DC Studios press event, co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran announced three new "younger-skewing" cartoons: Starfire, DC Super Powers, and My Adventures with Green Lantern. While it wasn't confirmed during the event, many fans suspected that My Adventures with Green Lantern might be connected to Maws beyond the similar naming convention, especially since Wyatt is attached to Mawgl as an executive producer. Wyatt didn't keep fans guessing for long, confirming with a post on X that the two shows would be part of the same shared universe.

The topic was brought up as the actress was talking about a forest fire scene in The Wild Robot. Nyong’o said she hasn’t really thought about that sequence in the film because she has been “dealing with my real life and my displacement.”

“Heart Eyes,” in theaters this weekend, is a one-of-a-kind accomplishment.
It’s a slasher movie that is just as much a romantic comedy and vice versa. It’s not trying to be either of these things, it just is. Stars Mason Gooding and Olivia Holt have genuine chemistry, so when their meet-cute is interrupted by the Heart Eyes Killer, a serial murderer who has been stalking couples for years, you’re rooting for their continued survival, not the least of which because you want to see their relationship blossom. It’s odd to call a movie with this much arterial spray cute, but it really is cute.
And the movie feels like even more of an accomplishment because it maintains the quirks and charms of its director Josh Ruben, who is making his studio movie debut. Ruben is a veteran of CollegeHumor, the online comedy site, and his two features,...

Throughout his career, David Lynch often crossed paths with Barry Gifford. It was from Gifford’s novel of the same name that Lynch adapted Wild At Heart. Later, they collaborated on two episodes of Lynch’s HBO anthology Hotel Room; then they co-wrote Lost Highway together. But not all of Gifford and Lynch’s work together made it into production. In the new issue of Empire, our feature celebrating the late, great Lynch includes a tribute from Gifford, looking back on his time working with the legendary filmmaker – in which he opens up on a film project they were cooking up for Madonna.
“[Lynch and I] talked about many other projects which never came to fruition. There was one that Madonna was supposed to star in,” Gifford explains in Empire. “This was after Wild At Heart; [producer] Monty Montgomery wanted me and David to come up with a story that she could do.” While it never came to be,...

The legend of Hayao Miyazaki and his great masterpieces is known to everyone who is even remotely accustomed to the anime industry. And while the creator has directed some of the greatest stories in history, he has also written a few of them that have made it big. One such story that is considered to be a gem of Miyazaki’s writing was Whisper of the Heart.
Whisper of the Heart | Credit: Studio Ghibli
Released in 1995, Whisper of the Heart is a romantic drama film filled with many enticing story developments. It was directed by Yoshifumi Kondo and produced by Studio Ghibli. The screenwriter of the anime movie was Miyazaki, and he did an excellent job with the narrative, considering the fame and recognition the film received after its release.
While the entire story was planned by Miyazaki, he had to make a change in the ending for some reason.

Screenwriters Phillip Murphy (The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard) and Christopher Landon & Michael Kennedy (Freaky) seamlessly marry the slasher and rom-com genres together for one entertaining, gory romp centered around an emoji mask-inspired killer who stalks and hunts couples on the most romantic holiday of the year.
It may come as no surprise that Heart Eyes originated from a date gone wrong. Great chemistry in a Zoom chat didn’t translate in person, but it did leave Phillip Murphy with killer inspiration. “I was on my moped, driving home from that date just livid, furious,“ Murphy tells Bloody Disgusting. “I was like, ‘I know there’s something there.‘ I was thinking of a killer coming after us. That was pretty seamless. Then, the...

The conversation about artificial intelligence has been going on for many years. However, it's becoming more and more important to address the usage of AI in creative environments, with robots and apps taking over important jobs in writing, digital art, and even entertainment.
Nicolas Cage was one of the latest artists to address AI usage. The Academy Award-winning actor has added a brand-new major award to his list of winnings, as he took home the Best Actor award at the 52nd annual Saturn Awards on Feb. 2. Per Variety, during his acceptance speech, Cage highlighted that AI shouldn't infiltrate acting.

Valentine's Day isn't the type of holiday that warrants a horror film, but several have attempted the change. 2009's My Bloody Valentine grossed $102.8 million, and 2016's Deadpool weighed in on the Valentine's Day holiday to promote the film, although the superhero film was more bloody than romantic.
Now Sony Pictures has found the best idea for the holiday: a romantic comedy slasher. Heart Eyes has all the elements to become a classic date night movie for slasher lovers. Ahead of its Feb. 7 premiere date, Heart Eyes debuted with an exciting Rotten Tomatoes score of 92%.

Heart Eyes emerges as a genre-blending exploration, intertwining romance’s tenderness with a slasher film’s brutal edge. Beneath familiar romantic comedy tropes and violent scenes, an existential anxiety pulses—a stark contrast between love’s warmth and life’s stark, inevitable end.
Staged during Valentine’s Day, the film’s mix of bloodshed and soft sentimentality strikes a darkly poetic chord. The masked antagonist, driven by a disturbingly passionate mission, symbolizes the fragility of human connection and emotional security.
Romance and horror merge, revealing uncomfortable truths about human vulnerability. Each moment of affection becomes shadowed by an underlying sense of transience, suggesting that personal connections and carefully constructed identities can shatter under external pressures. The narrative explores how love and violence intersect, creating a visceral meditation on human impermanence.

The unbridled excitement of Dog Man stems from its rejection of traditional storytelling limits. DreamWorks Animation captures Dav Pilkey’s children’s series with wild energy, creating a film bursting with visual chaos and narrative freedom. Peter Hastings directs a work that embraces pure silliness, transforming what could be overwhelming into something truly exciting.
Dog Man opens with a blend of zany humor and genuine emotion. Set in Ohkay City, a world where rules bend and twist, the story follows a character born from medical creativity—part human, part dog. This hero moves with the unfiltered excitement of a child’s imaginative sketch, leaping through adventures that prioritize humor over logic. Action sequences race with comedic momentum, embodying pure childhood creativity: wild, unconstrained, and gloriously messy.

Much like the mentioned general scenario, Marvel Studios has been facing ups and downs lately, and Captain America: Brave New World looks more crucial because of this. On the other hand, films like You, Me & Her are trying to experiment with a new sort of film release model.

Ever since the genre was created, the “meet cute” has been a staple of romantic comedies. So it makes sense that in the new “romantic comedy horror film” from director Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within), couples should die cute. Well, not cute exactly, unless you think of spears going through eyeballs or heads being crushed into bloody pulp as cute. Of course, for the target audience of Heart Eyes, that’s exactly what they are. They relish the gruesome deaths, the more graphic the better, the way audiences used to relish spectacular production numbers in musicals.
If movie musicals had their heyday in the 1930s and ‘40s, the equivalent for slasher movies was the 1980s. Like the Scream franchise, which it closely resembles, Heart Eyes both pays homage to and parodies its inspirations, which, considering that it’s set on Valentine’s Day, must include My Bloody Valentine (the 1981 original, of course,...

There is really nothing that is not completely predictable about Amazon Prime Video’s latest big budget romantic comedy, but with Reese Witherspoon back in the genre, and Will Ferrell doing what he does best, the chemistry is there, and so are some laughs, including a real Lol moment involving Ferrell and an uncooperative alligator that is a good reason comedies should probably best be seen with a crowd. Unfortunately, despite its stars and fan-friendly genre, this one is straight to streaming. At least in a Valentine’s Day period, You’re Cordially Invited qualifies more appropriately as a far more pleasant date movie than the horror and action Valentine’s movie the studios have planned this year. It isn’t going to make you forget My Best Friend’s Wedding, Bridesmaids and Father Of The Bride anytime soon, but it’ll do, even as the ‘R’ rating here seems a little harsh.

Even after almost three decades, the action thriller Con Air is still seen as one of veteran actor Nicolas Cage's best films. Despite its box office profits and Academy Award nominations, however, the movie was never given a sequel.
28 years after the release of Con Air, director Simon West has shared a new update on the possibility of a sequel finally happening. It's a fair question, as Cage is expected to return in an upcoming sequel to Face/Off – another film that was also released in 1997. For his part, West told Screen Geek that he would be more than happy to reunite with Cage for Con Air 2 if he's given the opportunity. The director even shared that he's discussed a potential sequel with Cage in the past, but to truly move forward with Con Air 2, the project would need to have a solid story with other key actors returning.

Valentine’s Day has always been a time for romance, but Heart Eyes, the new slasher film from Spyglass and Screen Gems, is set to drench the holiday in blood. Arriving in cinemas on February 14, 2025 in the UK and Ireland (and February 7th in the US), the film redefines the season of love with a chilling premise: no couple is safe from the deadly “Heart Eyes Killer.”
Directed by Josh Ruben, Heart Eyes centres on the Heart Eyes Killer, a masked figure infamous for his Valentine’s Day killing sprees. For years, he’s targeted romantic couples, turning their celebrations into unspeakable tragedy. This year, the killer adds a macabre twist by stalking a pair of platonic co-workers he mistakenly believes are romantically involved.

A few years back, I went to see my favourite David Lynch film, Mulholland Drive, at the Prince Charles Cinema in London. The house was, pleasingly, pretty much packed. And as the movie started, I sank into Lynch’s nocturnal underworld of haunted starlets and malevolent hoods. Then, something odd happened. Half an hour into the film, a group of about ten people shuffled into the empty row in front of us. They sat, stock still, as the albino Cowboy issued his enigmatic threats (“You will see me one more time if you do good. You will see me two more times if you do bad”) to Justin Theroux’s Hollywood director. Then, seemingly without signalling or even looking at each other, they all shuffled back out again, mere minutes after they’d sat down.
Who were these people? Had the Cowboy chilled their blood? Had they come into the wrong screen,...

Nicolas Cage reflected on the passing of David Lynch, calling the Wild At Heart director 'solid gold.' Lynch's family confirmed the filmmaker had died aged 78 earlier today.

Cage went on to talk about his experience on the set of Wild at Heart. "He was brave, brilliant, and a maverick with a joyful sense of humor.

The Gardener (Le Jardinier), not to be confused with the Gary Daniels/Robert Bronzi film, reunites Jean-Claude Van Damme and David Charhon who directed him in The Last Mercenary. And like that film, it’s an action comedy, but with the comedy dialed up a bit higher, and the action a bit more on the brutal side.
This time out, The Muscles From Brussels plays Leo, a man who simply wants to tend to plants on the large estate owned by Serge Shuster Special Adviser to the President of France. Nobody seems quite sure how he ended up with the position, and they think he’s a bit odd, but he does a good job so they’ve let him stay on.

The movie is currently being met with glowing reviews from fans and critics alike, and the creators of the original manga series have finally shared their feelings regarding the adaptation as well.

Scrubs season 10 will need to deal with the mistakes made by the softly-rebooted Med School run, and returning showrunner Bill Lawrence's comments suggest he is already considering how he can rectify the issues in the medical sitcom's last season. After much speculation, the Scrubs revival has been given the green light and will pick up the stories of the main cast around fifteen years after the show was canceled in 2010. Out of all nine seasons of Scrubs, the Med School episodes are widely regarded as the worst, so Lawrence has some redeeming to do.
Hopefully, every doctor in Scrubs will return for the revival, which would avoid a big misstep taken by Scrubs season 9. However, Lawrence's recent interview with TV Line proves that the Scrubs season 10 cast isn't the only thing on the showrunner's mind. That being said, the new and returning Scrubs stars have also been addressed, although not confirmed.
