The 2010s sitcom Sam & Cat is a charming spin-off of Victorious and iCarly, and Dice Corleone (Cameron Ocasio) is an important but unique part of the main characters' business venture. Dice is Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) and Sam Puckett's (Jennette McCurdy) 12-year-old neighbor who they meet when they become roommates after a random encounter in Venice, California. When his neighbors become babysitters to make a living, Dice is there every step of the way and seems wiser than his young age would suggest. Alas, the series didn't fare as well as the original shows and it was canceled after one 35-episode season.

Dice is Ocasio's biggest role so far, and before being cast, he appeared in several short films and a one-episode guest role on Law And Order: Special Victims Unit. The actor's few movie roles have been minor and he appeared in the 2018 movie Love Magical about an...

Well it seems that Nickelodeon has indeed cancelled Sam & Cat. The sitcom is ending after one extended season.

A combined spin-off of Victorious and iCarly, Sam & Cat finds Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) and Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) becoming friends and roommates. To make money they start an after-school babysitting business. Maree Cheatham, Cameron Ocasio, and Zoran Korach co-star.

The series was initially picked up for 20 episodes and they started airing in June 2013. It was such a big hit that the cable channel ordered 20 more after just one month of airings.

The series was on track to be renewed for a second season but some backstage issues derailed Sam & Cat towards the end of its first year of production, resulting in only 36 episodes being produced.

The sitcom was later put on...

The average fan of Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat is probably too young to know who Laverne & Shirley are, but that’s about to change. The highly popular ABC sitcom of the late ’70s and early 80′s is having a little reunion thanks to the kids show.

Nickelodeon announced this week that Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams would be happy guest stars in an episode of Sam & Cat, its teen sitcom that premiered June 8, 2013 and is a crossover spin-off of both iCarly and Victorious.

In Sam & Cat, Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande play the titular friends who start a baby-sitting business. It also stars Cameron Ocasio and Maree Cheatham.

Though Laverne & Shirley ran for 8 seasons, until the year 1983, Marshall and Williams portrayed roommates of the ’50s and ’60s era. Their characters Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney worked in a Milwaukee brewery.

Penny Marshall has gone one to become a successful television producer,...

Set to screen on Saturday, March 9 at SXSW, Child Eater takes off from the time-honored scenario of a little boy who believes the bogeyman is lurking in his closet—and this time, he’s right. Cait Bliss stars as Helen, a babysitter who first tries to assuage the fears of little Lucas (Cameron Ocasio, the “BBQ Boy” from one of Sinister’s Super-8 films), and then must fight to protect him from the Child Eater. Written and directed by Erlingur Thoroddsen and produced by Perri Nemiroff, Child Eater also stars Dan Reiss as Helen’s boyfriend Tom and Boomer Tibbs as Robert Bowery, a.k.a. the malevolent titular spirit.

“Child Eater is our non-thesis film for our Mfa degrees from Columbia University,” Nemiroff explains. The program requires that students on the producing track take a course in feature-film development; we’re supposed to find a script that another student...

Chicago – We have forgotten what it’s like to be scared by an actually scary movie. “Sinister” – from producer Jason Blum (“Insidious” and all four “Paranormal Activity” films) – is the first film in 2012 to remind us.

Rating: 4.5/5.0

More terrifying than “Insidious” and any of the “Paranormal Activity” films, “Sinister” is beautifully diabolical even without trickery. Instead of attempting to earn your fear by being very loosely based on a true story (like “The Possession”) and while steering seriously clear of a flop (like “The Apparition”) that’s as scary as George Bush trying to run our country, “Sinister” remembers what makes hair-raising films actually curdle your blood.

Like “The Shining,” “Misery,” “The Exorcist” and “Jaws” played on people’s mental fears without fancy effects as patchwork for weak material, the modern-day “Sinister” captures the most scary element of “The Ring” and “The Cabin in the Woods”: voyeurism.

Summit Entertainment has released your first look at a geeky Ethan Hawke from the movie “Sinister”. In the film, Hawke plays a true crime novelist trying to solve a family’s murder by using thr family’s home videos. But the more our hero searches, the more he puts his life, and the life of his family, into the path of a “supernatural entity”. Yes, it’s basically a variation on the Found Footage horror movie genre, but not really. Kinda, though, as I suspect you’ll see plenty of “home video” footage in the movie. Also starring Vincent D’Onofrio, James Ransone, Fred Dalton Thompson, Clare Foley, Cameron Ocasio, Victoria Leigh, Juliet Rylance, and Michael Hall D’Addario. Scott Derrickson (“The Day the Earth Stood Still”) directs from a script he co-wrote with C. Robert Cargill. Something sinister is afoot August 24,...
