Netflix has released a new trailer for The Knight Before Christmas. With Halloween in the rearview mirror, we're already in full-blown holiday season mode. Stores are starting to set up Christmas displays. Eager lovers of the holiday are already gearing up to set up the tree and, as it pertains to this specifically, we're going to get a new batch of Christmas movies. This one, in particular, features Vanessa Hudgens and brings with it a medieval spin.

Described as "a cozy holiday romance about learning to let yourself believe in magic again," the trailer kicks off with Vanessa Hudgens ruminating on the idea of finding a knight in shining armor. A fantasy for many people that is only ever that and not something that one can expect in reality. But things change when she, quite literally, finds a knight in shining armor, who is a man displaces from his own time.

"Who are we to tell him he's not who he says he is?" Netflix has revealed a trailer for the holiday romantic comedy The Knight Before Christmas, which looks more like a Hallmark Channel movie than anything Netflix should be making. It's as cheesy as they come. After a sorceress transports a medieval knight Sir Cole to present-day Ohio during the holiday season, he befriends a clever and kind science teacher who's been disillusioned by love. As they grow closer, so do their feelings for each other. Can their love overcome all the odds? Of course it can, that's how all these movies end. Starring Vanessa Hudgens as the teacher, Josh Whitehouse as the knight, and a cast including Emmanuelle Chriqui, Isabelle Franca, Ella Kenion, Harry Jarvis, and Jean-Michel Le Gal. This looks face-palm terrible with the most predictable of plots. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Monika Mitchell's The Knight Before Christmas,...

Ashes to ashes, Dusty to Dusty. Almost 20 years after her death, the loss of Dusty Springfield still stings on these shores. Sniffles ring out at the end of Jonathan Harvey’s jukebox musical “Dusty,” as footage of the iconic songstress’s funeral spills across the stage. So when actress Katherine Kingsley reappears for a final encore, the spit of Springfield in her prime, it feels like a reincarnation of sorts. Beneath that familiar blonde beehive, Kingsley stands still, smiles the slightest of smiles and unleashes that familiar earthy, authoritative voice, soaring off into “You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me.”

Hers is a complex performance in a script bent on slightness. Like the Kinks musical “Sunny Afternoon,” Dusty weaves a great artist’s body of work into the threads of an all-too-human life. Harvey might fold in sweet lifelong friendships and broken relationships to tug on the heartstrings,...

"Let’s Kill Hitler" makes my brain hurt.

Mind you, it’s a good hurt, but much of the discussion on this episode will have to fall under our spoilers section due to the massive amount of plot that occurs in this episode. Yet, there’s still plenty of non-spoiler stuff to talk about for those that have yet to watch it [...]...

Filming started today in Enfield on a brand new six part comedy for Sky called Gates, a character based sitcom based around relationships formed between parents at the school gates.

Tom Ellis and Joanna Page play parents Mark and Helen who’ve recently moved to the South East where their nine-year-old daughter is starting at a new primary school. And they’re about to discover what happens when your children choose your friends.

Essentially a character comedy, but with a nod to those sketch-like moments of madness which can only ever happen in the playground, Gates casts an eye on how relationships with parents formed during fifteen minutes of a school drop off and pick up can so easily take over your life. The school gates can be an unforgiving, socially exposed political minefield.

Gates boasts a distinguished cast that also includes:

Sue Johnston (The Royle Family, Waking The Dead), Tony Gardner (Lead Balloon,...
