Active since the early '90s, Tia Mowry has had a long acting career, including a number of Christmas films. Mowry's big break came in the sitcom Sister, Sister, where she starred alongside her actual twin sister, Tamera Mowry. Sister, Sister was a staple of the mid-90s sitcom, running from 1994-1999. Tia and Tamera would go on to star in a handful of films after Sister, Sister ended, with the Disney Channel original movies, Twitches and Twitches Too.
After appearing in her first Christmas movie, The Mistle-Tones, in 2012, Tia Mowry would go several more years before appearing in another one. After starring in My Christmas Inn in 2018, the floodgates opened, and Mowry regularly began appearing in various Christmas films since, with her most recent movie in the genre, A Very Merry Beauty Salon premiering in December 2024.

Netflix's new Christmas movie with a Magic Mike twist has become their No. 1 film just days after its release. Since 2017, the streaming service has been producing original Christmas movies, starting with A Christmas Prince. Over the years, the streaming platform has established itself as a top destination for holiday films, including The Princess Switch starring Vanessa Hudgens, and The Christmas Chronicles starring Kurt Russell, both in 2018. Last year, one of Netflix's most popular holiday movies was Best. Christmas. Ever!.
In 2024, several of Netflix's Christmas movies have already topped their Global Top 10 chart for the past three weeks. In the first full week of November, Meet Me Next Christmas ranked first on Netflix's Global Top 10 films with 18.1 million views, followed by Lacey Chabert's Hot Frosty the following week with 16 million views. Now, yet another one of Netflix's Christmas movies has topped their Global Top 10 chart. It isn't even December yet,...

The main setting in Netflixs The Merry Gentlemen is The Rhythm Room, and this fun place raises questions about whether its a real bar or not. Netflixs Christmas content is already in full force, and among its movies is The Merry Gentlemen, directed by Peter Sullivan. The Merry Gentlemen has a mix of comedy, drama, and a touch of spice that seems to be the style for Netflixs 2024 Christmas movies, and it brings back 2000s heartthrob Chad Michael Murray, who stars alongside Britt Robertson. The Merry Gentlemen follows Ashley (Robertson), a Broadway dancer who is replaced after a misstep onstage.
After not being home for the holidays for over a decade, this new situation leads Ashley to return to her hometown of Sycamore Creek. Ashleys parents own a bar called The Rhythm Room, but as they have been facing some financial issues, the bar is facing the possibility of being...

“The Merry Gentlemen” is a Netflix romantic comedy starring Britt Robertson and Chad Michael Murray. It is directed by Peter Sullivan.
Today, Netflix adds another romantic comedy to its lineup, this time making a significant contribution to the field of philosophy (disclaimer: we’re being ironic): it brings us a group of handsome men performing striptease acts.
Don’t expect anything that would offend the most traditional families: “The Merry Gentlemen” is the quintessential romantic comedy for the holiday season, perfect for watching, smiling, and then forgetting about within five minutes.
Plot
After being let go from a show in New York, Ashley returns to her hometown for Christmas. There, she discovers that her parents are struggling financially with the bar they’ve owned for years. To help them out, she decides to put together a dance show featuring attractive, shirtless men, and enlists Luke, a blonde and muscular...

One-time Superman Dean Cain has made lots of Christmas movies, mainly with dogs in them. This year, we've watched even more...
Warning! This article contains spoilers, the kind of swearing you'd expect from someone who's sat through thirteen Dean Cain Christmas movies, and mild peril in the form of ailing sanity.
If you’re anything like me you might have some fairly warm, fuzzy memories of Dean Cain. He was Superman! He brought Superman back! Supes! So fun to watch on Saturday afternoons or after school, saving Metropolis from do-badders and waiting for Lois to notice him without his cape on just once.
Okay! Soooo, what has Cain been up to since The New Adventures Of Superman finished? I mean, sure, you saw him in an episode of that one show. And then there was that other time. More recently, he's had a role in Supergirl. Naturally!

Yes, kids, Syfy is now in post-production on Jersey Shore Shark Attack, and we've got a mini look at the artwork along with the new plot crunch below.
Syfy cast Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts on "The Sopranos"), Paul Sorvino (Paul Cicero in Goodfellas), Jack Scalia ("Dallas"), Joey Fatone (‘N Sync), and William Atherton (Die Hard) in the film. Of course the cast wouldn’t be complete without some chum from MTV’s "Jersey Shore" — it also stars Vinny Guadagnino.
Sirico is Captain Sallie, the wise veteran of boardwalk life and lore. Scalia is Moretti, former guido beach bum and now police chief. Sorvino portrays the possibly corrupt mayor, and Atherton is the greedy developer Dolan,...

It's incredible to think that Steven Spielberg's 'Jaws', even 36 years on, still manages to influence so many terrible sounding shark attack flicks. Amongst the absolute brimming swarm of shark-infested features that have swam onto TV and DVD lately comes word of 'Jersey Shore Shark Attack'. The John Shepphird helmed project penned by foursome Michael Ciminera, Richard Gnolfo, Jeffrey Schenck and Peter Sullivan moves the deadly ocean-dwelling predators to Jersey Shore and features a bunch of characters clearly spoofing the cast of the American reality show of the same name. Jeremy Luc, Melissa Molinaro, Jack Scalia, Paul Sorvino, William Atherton, Tony Sirico, Joey Russo, Daniel Booko, Alex Mauriello, Audi Resendez, Grant Harvey, Dylan Vox, Joey Fatone and Ben Giroux all star. If you haven't guessed by now this Aro Entertainment, Curmudgeon Films and Hybrid co-production will air first on SyFy....

More nature-run-amok fodder for those who love to love to stay up late on Saturday nights and watch animals - mutated or otherwise - tear people apart.
While it was in development, we told you about the genius that was Jersey Shore Shark Attack.
Toay, we have some cast details, artwork (which you see on the left) and a plot synopsis to share.
While we don't get to see the saps from the real Jersey Shore get feasted upon, expect to see Paul Sorvino, Jack Scalia, Tony Sirico, Melissa Molinaro, Joey Fatone and Vinny Guadagnino to star in this thriller which was directed by John Shepphird and penned by four (!) writers. Four. Chew on that. So, thank Michael Ciminera, Richard Gnolfo, Jeffrey Schenck and Peter Sullivan for this.

Thank goodness for the Killer Mountain ads on the front page of the website, or even I might have forgotten there is a new Syfy creature feature premiering this weekend. As you can already ascertain, it has something to do with a mountain where people get killed.
Aaron Douglas (“Battlestar Galactica”), Emmanuelle Vaugier (Far Cry), and Crystal Lowe (Wrong Turn 2: Dead End) star in this weekend's Syfy premiere of Killer Mountain from director Sheldon Wilson (Screamers: The Hunting) and writer Peter Sullivan (The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation).
Though the title Killer Mountain probably sounds as generic as humanly possible, as you’ll read in this plot synopsis, there is a good explanation as to its meaning.
Located in Bhutan, Gangkhar Puensum ("Killer Mountain") is the highest unclimbed mountain in the world. According to local legend, 6000 meters is the abode of the Gods, and trespassing is strictly prohibited as a matter of religious law.

Currently enjoying something of a career renaissance, particularly leaning towards more independently minded cinema, is one time Batman Val Kilmer. With his name associated with no less than ten pictures in the previous year, the fifty one year old actor has been linked with another myriad of projects, the latest of which is The First Ride of Wyatt Earp, based on the life of the legendary figure from the Wild West of the early 19th century, and a man whose fame can be attributed foremost to his role in the notorious “Gunfight at the Ok Corral;” an incident which in itself has been subject of many screen-writers – including early 90′s pic Tombstone, where Kilmer played the part of Doc Holliday, perhaps his best remembered screenrole.
According to Variety, the new film based on a true story:

Val Kilmer will play the elderly Wyatt Earp in indie Western The First Ride of Wyatt Earp, which Michael Feifer is directing. The screenplay is penned by Darren Benjamin Shepherd and the flick is now in production in California. Barry Barnholtz and Jeffrey Schenck are producing through Hybrid banner, and Peter Sullivan is co-producing.
Val Kilmer has been involved in the Wyatt Earp story once before, playing Doc Holliday in Tombstone. He earlier played the title character in the TV movie Billy the Kid, so he is definitely not a newcomer to Western.
The storyline will be about a journalist interviewing a senior citizen Earp about his legendary days as a marshal in the Wild West and they’ll show the story about his rounding up a posse to find the outlaw that mistakenly killed the woman he loved.
The reporter is Daniel Booko ( iCarly sitcom, Hannah Montana) and country...

It definitely doesn’t surpass my love for The Wire, but it hits a science-fiction/storytelling high that many one-hour dramas would love to reach. Not only does the show take it’s situation seriously, but it takes the treatment of its characters with such truth that you never feel taken advantage of.

Chicago – I wonder how the movie history books will remember Brittany Murphy, who died suddenly at the end of 2009. When she went, she had a few films in some stage of post-production and one, the thriller “Abandoned,” makes its way to Blu-ray and DVD this week. The film works about as well as your average straight-to-dvd thriller but distinguishes itself a bit due to Murphy’s underrated acting ability, but this actress deserved a more fitting final note.
Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0
Especially when one considers the ugly rumors that surrounded her death combined with a few recent career decisions that pulled her out of the spotlight — most obituaries turned to “Clueless” or “Don’t Say a Word” as her most notable roles — it seems likely that history won’t be as kind to Brittany Murphy as it should be. What’s saddest is that she gave arguably the best performance of...
