Chicago Fire is full of married couples. A lot of the veteran characters have tied the knot at some point over the show's thirteen seasons. There are precious few that are single, but we are starting to think there may be something brewing with Lyla Novak (Jocelyn Hudon).

The medic has tried to keep the details about her past under wraps, but there is something going on between her and Jack Damon (Michael Bradway), a firefighter who recently returned to the show after getting booted from 51.

There was some flirtation between Novak and Damon during the end of season 12, when they were both brand new to the firehouse. The latter was subsequently transferred to another firehouse, but the notion of Novak and Damon having...

A new Chicago Fire episode arrived on Wednesday night with a special guest star.

That guest star turned out to be Lyla Novak’s ex-fiance.

As a reminder, Joe Cruz is back on the job after his suspension, and Mouch has returned after taking time to care for his wife, Trudy.

Sam Carver has sought help for his drinking problem, and Violet Mikami knows what’s up now.

Stella Kidd and Kelly Severide are heading into the adoption process thanks to some help from Sylvie Brett.

And the new chief (Dom Pascal) has exuded some suspect behavior that may lead to drama later this season.

Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 14 recap

The February 26 episode began with a cute moment between Violet and Carver as she stocked up the ambulance for the night. He told her that his meetings were going well. Novak walked in and noted that there would be a ride-along joining them.

Emile Hirsch becomes a detective seeking redemption in the trailer for Inside Man, the upcoming film from Danny A. Abeckaser (Blackjack: The Jackie Ryan Story), which will be available in theaters and on demand on August 11:

Here’s the official synopsis of the film:

“Based on true events, Inside Man follows disgraced New York Police Detective Bobby Belucci as his life falls apart when he discovers his wife is having an affair. After beating her lover to a pulp, she leaves him and Bobby gets demoted at work, triggering his determination to prove he’s worthy of redemption. His plan is to go undercover as a grunt and infiltrate the Gambino crime family’s notorious “DeMeo Crew,” a violent and bloody faction that reigned terror in the 1960s and ‘70s. Bobby will stop at nothing to get close to the head of the crew, Roy DeMeo, to expose the murder and corruption.

It’s almost impossible to escape once you get involved with the mob, and if I were Emile Hirsch‘s Bobby Belluci, I’d start learning how to swim with the fishes. Vertical Entertainment proudly presents an Inside Man trailer depicting a bloody tale of deception, dangerous liaisons, and a disturbing body count. Based on actual events, Inside Man tells the story of Bobby Belluci, a disgraced police detective seeking redemption by going undercover to expose a violent crime syndicate. However, as Bobby sinks deeper into the mob, the price for absolution may be higher than he can afford.

Danny A. Abeckaser directs from a screenplay by Kosta Kondiloppulos. Taking place during the 1960s and 1970s, Inside Man stars Lucy Hale, Jake Cannavale, Ashley Greene, Vincent Laresca, Kyle Stefanski, Greg Finley, and Bo Dietl alongside Hirsch.

"Everybody's got someone they want to kill, thing is no one realizes how easy it is to do it." Vertical Ent. has released an official trailer for a thriller dark comedy titled The Estate, which first premiered a year ago at the Newport Beach Film Festival. It's arriving in theaters and on VOD this October for anyone curious. When the spoiled son and newest wife of a billionaire patriarch plot to murder him, they form a psycho-sexual bond with their brutally handsome hitman as they kill and kill (and kill) in their quest for wealth and recognition. Sounds wild. The film stars Eliza Coupe, Greg Finley, Lala Kent, and Chris Baker, who also wrote the script. "Deftly balancing sharp humor and horror, The Estate delivers a perfectly campy, wildly enjoyable thrill ride that packs a deadly punch." Looks wicked and debaucherous in all the right ways. Here's the official trailer...

Vertical Entertainment — the distributor behind such movies as “Miss Juneteenth,” “Shadow in the Cloud” and “Ava” — has acquired the distribution rights for “The Estate” in North America, the U.K. and Ireland. The thriller, the feature directing debut of James Kapner, and written by Chris Baker (who also co-stars in the film), will be released in theaters and on VOD day-and-date this fall.

“The Estate” stars Eliza Coupe (“Happy Endings”), Greg Finley (“The Flash”), Baker, Heather Matarazzo (“Welcome to the Dollhouse”), Eric Roberts (“Runaway Train”) and Lala Kent (“Vanderpump Rules”). Baker’s character aligns with his stepmother (Coupe) to hire a hitman (Finley) to kill the family patriarch (Roberts), a move “initiating a psychosexual love triangle that spirals into more than anyone bargained for,” according to its logline.

Josh Spector, the SVP of acquisitions for Vertical Entertainment, said, “We couldn’t be prouder to be partnering with this talented filmmaking team on “The Estate,...

Gritty. Sombre. Grey. Literally, very grey, because this is Portland, Maine: the cold, northern, almost Canadian bit of the USA where men are men and, seemingly, lobsters are the only business in town. Well, lobsters, and drugs. Because smuggling your contraband in lobster pots is the way to go.

Downeast is the very downbeat tale of a cold case murder. Mikey (Spencer Watson) and Tommy (Greg Finley) are best of buddies: Tommy is on the verge of dating Mikey’s sister, Emma (Dylan Silver). Then tragedy strikes. Mikey is murdered, in an incident that “no-one knows nuffink about.” Unless you count small fish crime lord Kerrigan (Judson Mills) or his homicidal henchperson Brennan (Joss Glennie-Smith). But they’re not saying neither!

It’s as you’d expect in a community where every other person connects to organised crime in one way or another: either working for the local boss or...

Vision Film has acquired rights to I Love Us, a romantic drama from Danny A. Abeckaser’s 2B Films. Abeckaser stars with Jackie Cruz, Katie Cassidy, Harlow Jane, David James Elliott, Robert Davi, Jasper Polish, Greg Finley, James Madio, David James Elliott, Elya Baskin and Courtney Lopez in the ensemble, which wrapped production at the end of March after a shoot in Los Angeles. It will get a 10-city theatrical run along with VOD in September.

In the script by Kosta Kondilopoulos, a seasoned thief (Abeckaser) trades in his criminal ways for a “normal” married life after falling in love with a single mother (Cassidy) that catches him off guard. But when tragedy strikes, he’s forced to take one last job to pay off old debts and keep his new family together, creating conflict all around him.

Abeckaser also produced with Wild7Films’ Kyle Stefanski and Mike Hermosa, and Above the Clouds’ Jeff Hoffman. Executive producers are Katie Cassidy, Ron Rofe, Isaac Gindi, Eddie Gindi and Gustavo Nascimento.

“I Love Us was such a passion project and a labor of love. I felt the movie deserved to be with a company that really believes and loves the movie like I do. Lisa Romanoff at Vision was the right person for this journey for myself as director along with producers Kyle Stefanski, Mike Hermosa and Jeff Hoffman. We are excited for people to see it.”

The pic, which follows the shakeup of the worldwide annual fitness competition The CrossFit Games in the midst of the pandemic, will debut on iTunes and Apple TV on July 20, followed by digital platforms and VOD on August 3.

“With Covid-19 restrictions allowing for only 10 athletes versus the usual 80-100+, it’s the first and possibly last year we will be able to tell interesting angles from every athlete competing,” the directors said. “We are honored to have been there for this intimate event, and excited for the world to see the behind the scenes of what went on at the 2020 CrossFit Games.”

“The collaboration among the Buttery Bros., CrossFit HQ, and Gravitas has been smooth and it’s great to get the band back together,” said Michael Murphy, President of Gravitas Ventures. “Previous CrossFit films are immediate best-sellers, and we expect the same from Resurgence which is awesome in scope, story-telling, and quality.”

Desperate for a friend, he seeks solace and refuge in his ever-present cell phone and tablet.

The Secret Life of the American Teenager may have been a resouding success for ABC Family, but it also helped Shailene Woodley land some big roles in the aftermath.

The actress has looked back on her time on the series, and has admitted that she felt "stuck" as a cast member.

Created by 7th Heaven's Brenda Hamilton, the series centered on Woodley's Amy Juergens, a teenager who had to come to terms with an unexpected pregnancy.

The series delved deep into how the pregnancy changed not only Amy's life, but the lives of those around her.

In an interview with Bustle, Woodley has opened up about her time on the series, noting that she did not agree with the messages of the show.

“There were a lot of things that were written into the scripts that not just me, but a lot of the cast, disagreed with,” the Big Little Lies actress said.

In today’s film news roundup, Lily James circles a British drama role, “Blackjack: The Jackie Ryan Story” has started production, Laika makes a veteran hire and “Beanpole” and “Just Noise” get distribution.

Tonight’s episode of The Flash is going to be a big one, especially as last week’s instalment left us on quite the cliffhanger as it was seemingly revealed that Harrison Wells’ attempt to give Barry Allen back his speed had in actual fact killed him. Throw in the fact that filmmaker Kevin Smith is helming this episode of the DC Comics adaptation, and there’s lots to look forward to.

With just hours to go until the episode airs, The CW has released a very cool new poster alongside an extended trailer which once again reassures us that The Flash is alive and well, but stuck in some sort of alternate dimension which may or may not be the speed force – depending on whose theory you decide to believe.

For more details on what to expect from this episode, here’s the synopsis for “The Runaway Dinosaur”:

With Barry (Grant Gustin) gone,...

Is Barry Allen going to regain his speed on tonight's episode of The Flash? Well, with season three already confirmed, the show wouldn't be much fun to watch if he doesn't! Regardless, we now have a very cool new poster for The CW series alongside an extended trailer which features some behind the scenes footage of director Kevin Smith and also teases what we should expect from the story. With Barry (Grant Gustin) gone, the team must figure out a way to handle the return of an old enemy – Girder (guest star Greg Finley). Realizing Girder is retracing his steps from his last attack, Iris (Candice Patton) volunteers to act as bait to trap him in S.T.A.R. Labs. Meanwhile, Barry fights to return to his old life. Kevin Smith directed the episode written by Zack Stentz.

The CW's Flash is a comic book TV show that loves its source material and isn't shy about it. Case in point, in tonight's episode, Barry will have his first ever conversation with the Speed Force. Comic book readers will know that this is a regular occurrence for The Flash as he often consults with the extra-dimensional energy source in times of dire peril. Will the Speed Force reveal the key to defeating Zoom? And what of Jessie Quick and Wally West, who were caught in the particle accelerator blast 2.0? Are they Speedsters as well?

In the episode, Barry fights to return to his old life while the rest of the team have to handle the return of an old enemy, Girder (Greg Finley), with Iris volunteering to act as bait to trap him in S.T.A.R. Labs. The episode will air on May 10th.

Last night's episode of The Flash ended with a real shock as Barry Allen was disintergrated from Harry's attempt to recreate the accident which gave the Scarlet Speedster his powers.

Despite being a super fan of DC Comics characters, Kevin Smith has not really had the opportunity to work with their iconic heroes outside of the comic book realm itself. Sure, there was the Tim Burton directed Superman Lives, which Smith penned the script for and came this close to entering principal photography back in the 1990’s, but it is baffling to think that nothing else has materialized since.

That all changes next week when an episode of The Flash, directed by Smith himself, hits the airwaves. Titled “The Runaway Dinosaur,” this outing looks like it picks up where last night’s episode left off as the team utilizes Cisco’s “vibing” abilities to locate Barry Allen in whatever reality he may be trapped in. With the enlistment of the highest profile director to work on the series to date, something tells me this may be a superhero/science fiction tour-de-force.

Well, that didn't go well... Next week's Kevin Smith-directed episode has Harrison Wells and Cisco scrambling to find Barry before it's too late while the rest of the S.T.A.R. Labs team deals with the Girder. Check out the extended promo for next week's installment below: Kevin Smith Directs – With Barry (Grant Gustin) gone, the team must figure out a way to handle the return of an old enemy – Girder (guest star Greg Finley). Realizing Girder is retracing his steps from his last attack, Iris (Candice Patton) volunteers to act as bait to trap him in S.T.A.R. Labs. Meanwhile, Barry fights to return to his old life. Kevin Smith directed the episode written by Zack Stentz (#221). Last year, the S.T.A.R. Labs Particle Accelerator exploded, creating a dark matter storm that struck forensic scientist Barry Allen — bestowing him with super-speed and making him the fastest man alive.

Things took a very unexpected turn in tonight's episode of The Flash when Dr. Harrison Wells attempted to recreate the particle accelerator explosion which turned Barry Allen into The Fastest Man Alive, and next week's Kevin Smith helmed instalment will pick up where things ended in "Rupture." Will the Scarlet Speedster be able to return from this sinister alternate dimension? We'll have to wait and see, but let us know your thoughts on that and the promo below in the comments section.

The CW has released the first official synopsis for the upcoming Kevin Smith-directed episode of The Flash, which is titled “The Runaway Dinosaur.” We’ve already gotten a few little teases about this episode over the past few months. One of the biggest things that seemed to get fans excited was the fact that Smith’s friend Jason Mewes was cast in the episode as a masked villain. Now we know exactly what the episode will entail thanks to the following plot summary:

Kevin Smith Directs – With Barry (Grant Gustin) gone, the team must figure out a way to handle the return of an old enemy – Girder (guest star Greg Finley).

Smith’s...

Kevin Smith makes his presence felt in Central City as he directs an episode of The Flash later this month, and it sounds like Barry Allen could have found a way to enter the Speed Force! That's a complete guess of course, but we do now know that Hawkman is returning to Legends of Tomorrow in time for the finale. Meanwhile in Arrow, Felcity...er, you don't really care about that do you? The Flash - "The Runaway Dinosaur" Kevin Smith Directs – With Barry (Grant Gustin) gone, the team must figure out a way to handle the return of an old enemy – Girder (guest star Greg Finley). Realizing Girder is retracing his steps from his last attack, Iris (Candice Patton) volunteers to act as bait to trap him in S.T.A.R. Labs. Meanwhile, Barry fights to return to his old life. Kevin Smith directed the episode written by Zack Stentz.

This week’s episode of The Flash saw Barry Allen left without his powers after Zoom finally took his speed, and while the former Fastest Man Alive is going to have to find a way to deal with that in the next instalment, it’s the one which follows that’s currently shaping up to be even more exciting.

Directed by Kevin Smith, the filmmaker (who also helmed the Reaper pilot for The CW a number of years ago) recently made a podcast appearance to get fans hyped for his episode of The Flash, and it definitely sounds like this could be one of the Scarlet Speedster’s greatest adventures to date.

“First cut was 55-minutes, of my episode of The Flash that I directed. We got it down to the running time, it’s 42-minutes. It may be my favorite thing I’ve ever directed. Now that doesn’t...

Things aren't looking good for Major or Blaine in the latest episode of iZombie season 2...

This review contains spoilers.

2.14 Eternal Sunshine Of The Caffeinated Mind

The good news? Blaine didn't stay dead when Mr. Boss had his throat cut for moving in on his Utopium business. The bad news? This brings Blaine (and soon Major) one step closer to the inevitable death that, so far, all "cured" zombie-rats have faced. In the short term, however, it brings the drug war between Blaine and Mr. Boss out in the open.

Now that Mr. Boss knows it's Blaine who's been causing so many problems for him, Blaine has to make some moves. Luckily, he has the zombie edge. Does Mr. Boss even know about zombies? It seems like someone who is so in touch with Seattle's underworld would be in on this not-so-well-kept secret, but who knows. Something tells me Mr.

Thanks to the fine folks at The CW, we are able to enjoy this extended promo video for next week’s brand new episode of iZombie, which bears the clever title “Eternal Sunshine of the Caffeinated Mind.” And, as we can see in the opening moments of the footage, they are not afraid to drop it like it’s hot.

After witnessing many major developments in last night’s episode, “The Whopper,” fans can expect to see Liv and Clive investigate the murder of an entrepreneur/barista next week. It seems the dearly departed was a “glass half full” type of gal and Liv will obviously temporarily inherit her perspective on life.

While I would not count on her to start adorning her work space with “Hang in there, baby” kitty posters (although you never know with this show), it is probably a solid bet that Rose McIver will continue...

Enrico Colantoni (“Veronica Mars”) Guest Stars — When an incredibly optimistic coffee-shop owner is murdered, Liv (Rose McIver) uses her sunny outlook to help Clive (Malcolm Goodwin) solve the murder. Meanwhile, things begin to go from bad to worse for Blaine (David Anders), and Drake (guest star Greg Finley) is forced to cancel plans with Liv due to a run in with Seattle’s finest. Robert Buckley and Rahul Kohli also star. Jason Bloom directed the episode written by Kit Boss (#214). iZOMBIE continues with more brainy adventures! From the executive producers of Veronica Mars, the series stars Rose McIver (Power Rangers R.P.M.) as Olivia “Liv” Moore, a medical resident on the fast track to a perfect life … until she’s turned into a zombie. But Liv finds her calling — and an endless supply of food — working at the Seattle coroner’s office, helping to solve crimes with her “visions.” As season two begins,...

"Heroes Reborn" actor Marco Grazzini will join the spring season of "The Flash" as an asphalt-transforming metahuman named Tar Pit.  In the comics, Tar Pit is an astral projecting villain who can turn himself into asphalt and flames. In the show his character name will be Joey Montelone, who will try to gain a tactical advantage over Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin). Tar Pit will be terrorizing The Flash and Central City in the latter half of the season, according to Comicbook.com. Marco Grazzini joins a long list of famous guest actors who have taken on metahuman identities on "The Flash", including "Prison Break's" Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold and Dominic Purcell as Heat Wave, "Star-Crossed's" Greg Finley as Girder, and "Smash's" Andy Mientus as Pied Piper. "The Flash" airs Tuesdays at 8/9C on The CW. ...

Yes, gaining great power brings with it great responsibility but that does not mean a character cannot revel in the sudden ability to do the seemingly impossible. After a decade of films with tortured protagonists, all in the name of gritty reality, the arrival of the CW’s The Flash series has garnered near universal praise because, for a change, the protagonist is having some fun. Out now from Warner Home Entertainment, The Flash: The Complete First Season is well worth having.

Grant Gustin makes for an appealing and engaging Barry Allen because he’s young and an unlikely hero, who is having fun running faster than the speed of sound. He’s a pumped, hyper-active puppy hero, eager to use his powers for as much good as possible, from helping paint buildings to rescuing stray animals. He wants to do it all and thinks he can.

Along the 22 episodes of the first season,...
