Exclusive: Byron Allen’s Freestyle Digital Media has dropped the hammer on a deal for North American theatrical, digital and home entertainment distribution rights to Shifting Gears, Jason Winn's feature starring R. Keith Harris and M.C. Gainey. It’s set for a March 23 day-and-date release The family-friendly film centers on Tom (Harris, who also wrote the script), a hard-working manager at a big-box superstore who is passed up for a promotion." Lamenting the time he…...

Oh dear… It started so strong, stumbled in the middle and, well, imploded towards the end. With its mid-season finale The Walking Dead left a clear message: all hope is lost. The show unfortunately seems more focused on drawing seasons out, padding them for a longer run and preventing any closure to storylines therefore restricting development and growth. What’s worse is all this meandering leaves the show feeling like a stale stew of left-over meat.

The episode opens with Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) and The Scavengers ditching Rick (Andrew Lincoln) once the Saviors inside The Sanctuary start shooting. Why he felt that getting them onside was important is beyond us. If his plan had played through like he intended, they wouldn’t need The Scavengers and considering they seem to side with the victors regardless, they could have been confronted once the war was won.

Elsewhere, Enid (Katelyn Nacon) and...

“All you have to do to be on the winning side is stand down. Do nothing.”

This week’s episode should come with a pre-warning: beware this episode may contain unhealthy amounts of Eugene (Josh McDermitt). We have nothing against the nonsense spouting wimp in particular, honest, but of the myriad of characters the show has to offer Eugene would most certainly be at the bottom of our “a whole episode dedicated to” wish list. In fact we would have even preferred Any of the other lieutenants. And yes we hear you nit-pickers in the back purring – we know that Eugene doesn’t take up all of the screen time in “Time for After” but he is without doubt the protagonist and the majority of the episode is concerned with him and the decisions he needs to make.

Anyway, let’s take a look at the episode.

We open with...

The last time The Walking Dead generated much excitement, it was at the end of season 6, when we all wondered who Neegan was going to kill at the beginning of season 7. Now that season 8 is almost half finished, and excitement has been in short supply, the series is trying to evoke that kind of anticipation once again. A new teaser seems to indicate that Neegan and the Saviors might be about to exact another heavy toll on Rick's group.

It wasn't long ago that Walking Dead fans spent an entire summer wondering which one of the show's many main characters was about to meet their demise at the business end of a barbed-wired baseball bat named Lucille.

Harris passed away at Blackpool Victoria Hospital at 4.50am this morning. He had been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2013.

As if things couldn't get worse in the town of Chester's Mill, nearly half of the residents came down with a lethal case of meningitis — and there aren't any real doctors in the town!

Going Under the Dome: Neal Baer answers burning questions on "dome fever"

Thanks to that little outbreak, Julia (Rachelle Lefevre) discovered almost the whole truth about Barbie (Mike Vogel) and his connection to her husband Peter (R. Keith Harris), but he held back on some of the particulars — like how he murdered Peter. To find out Barbie's motivations and get the scoop on why the military deserted the town, TVGuide.com turned to showrunner Neal Baer to get some answers:

Customers rave about the breakfast burritos at Tim's Place, but the menu item that keeps them coming back isn't edible. It's a big-hearted bear hug, delivered by owner Tim Harris, 26. "People would order a hug," he tells People. "I'll go to the table, tell them, "Thank you for stopping by, and have a wonderful day." That exceptional customer service is a daily reminder of what a determined young man with devoted parents can achieve. When Jeannie and Keith Harris learned Tim had Down syndrome, "it was like the baby we expected had died," Jeannie says, "and was replaced with a burden that would destroy us.

*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Image Entertainment.

Director: Jon Keeyes.

Writer: Roy Sallows.

The straight-to-dvd market is full of hits and misses. Sometimes one finds a gem, but sometimes one finds a film such as Fall Down Dead. This title, released by Image Entertainment on DVD June 14th, suffers from averageness, which is not a quality that you want in a competitive film market. One hour plus of a cat-and-mouse chase plotline between villain and protagonist just does create enough excitement. The writing from Roy Sallows (The Conspiracy of Fear) creates great characters, but not much tension in this 90 minute thriller?

The main hero is Christie played by (Dominique Swain), who has caught the eye of a serial killer (the Picasso Killer). Two detectives (Mehmet Gunsur, R. Keith Harris) also attempt to handcuff the Picasso Killer (Udo Kier), but they are merely a sidebar to...

C: Dominique Swain, Udo Kier, David Carradine, Mehmet Gunsur, R. Keith Harris, Jennifer Alden, Austin James, Burgess Jenkins, Brett Gentile, Monica Barladeanu 

A serial killer hunts down a woman who witnessed him in the midst of a murder and tracks her down to a building that is locked down during the middle of a power outage.

Ok, so the story does need a bit (or maybe a lot) of work. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Fall Down Dead does an admirable job of creating this unnerving atmosphere. Udo Kier does make for a genuinely creepy antagonist in a memorable performance. Fall Down Dead does a solid job of using dark, empty corridors to create unease. A terrific score helps to further create tension. Fall Down Dead comes alive with energy and momentum. Once it gets going, it rarely...

On June 17, Image Entertainment will release the 2007 serial killer movie Fall Down Dead on DVD.

Dominique Swain is stalked by a serial killer in Fall Down Dead.

Starring Dominique Swain (Lolita), Udo Kier (My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done) and the late David Carradine (Dark Fields), it’s, well, one of those ridiculously bad lousy movies that’s so bad it succeeds as a guilty pleasure.

It’s Christmas Eve when single mother Christie Wallace (Swain) stumbles across The Picasso Killer (Kier)—a serial murderer killer who considers his mutilated victims to be works of art—just as he’s finishing up with a victim. Fleeing to a nearby office building, she ends up trapped inside with a low-rent security guard, Wade (Carradine), a par of detectives (Mehment Gunsur, R.

Short notice, but I only just heard about it last night, at the screening of Bilal’s Stand that I attended (review is coming)…

Indie filmmaker Jon Keeyes, whose credits include the well-received American Nightmare and Suburban Nightmare, sent along news that his latest chiller Fall Down Dead will receive limited theatrical release via his Highland Myst Entertainment and New Film International. The movie will open in December in select cities nationwide; Keeyes passed on some photos, which you can see below.

Fall Down Dead stars genre fave Udo Kier (first photo) as The Picasso Killer, a serial murderer who turns his victims into works of art, and Lolita’s Dominique Swain (second photo) is Christie, a young woman trapped (along with six others) in a building one night with the madman. The late Carradine (third photo) appears as Wade, a bumbling security guard, and R. Keith Harris and Mehmet Gunsur co-star as detectives.

As we said in our Grammy Predictions, we have a love/hate relationship with the Grammys. But hey, we love music, so we're watching to see what happens. Could be a big year for Lil Wayne (did you see his interview with "Miss" Katie Couric?). Could be a controversial night if Coldplay's alleged Joe Satriani rip-off grabs some hardware ("Viva La Vida" by Coldplay and Satriani's "If I Could Fly"). But plenty of great artists are nominated (M.I.A., Allison Krauss/Robert Plant, Radiohead, Gnarls Barkley, Daft Punk, Brazilian Girls....we could go on), so as always, it'll be worth watching, especially for the performances. Unlike the Oscars, where the show is pretty much all about the host, the Grammys are all about those live performances (remember when Beyonce stole the show with Prince back in 2004?). Hang with us and add to the conversation in the comments!
