As we've tuned into Animal Kingdom Season 6, it's undeniably clear that Julia Cody is at the center of this story.

And the relationship between the Cody twins has shaped so much of everything.

With Animal Kingdom Season 6 Episode 13 teasing that Andrew commits the Original Sin, it's safe to say that there will be some focus on the Cody twins during the series' final hour.

TV Fanatic had the distinct pleasure of catching up with humble and supremely talented stars Jasper Polish and Kevin Csolak to discuss their incredible work throughout the season and what we can expect from the highly-anticipated series finale of this hit show.

And not even a shoddy connection kept us from getting all the details and teases that we could from the two about the complicated relationship between the twins, Julia's tragic descent, and whether or not viewers are on the right path regarding the wild...

J officially made his move, and nothing will ever be the same again.

If there were any doubts whatsoever that J planned to screw over his uncles and has had a long game in mind this entire time, it was put to bed during Animal Kingdom Season 6 Episode 12.

The penultimate episode of the series put all the pieces into place for what should be an explosive series finale that will have us talking.

Julia has been so prominent throughout Animal Kingdom Season 6, but in this particular installment, she had such a presence in both the past and the present for J.

We literally opened with J visiting her grave, which frustratingly is right there along with Smurf and Baz. It set the tone for where J's head is and why he'd feel a certain way or remain on this steady path towards vengeance.

Julia can't even rest in peace. She's...

One of my favorite things about movies is how writers and directors can take the every day and use it to give us food for thought.

Locked In writer and director Carlos V. Gutierrez hopes to do that with his film.

Locked In is not entirely successful, but you'll be looking over your shoulder the next time you're in a storage facility.

Mena Suvari stars as Maggie, a pious woman raising her 17-year-old daughter, Tarin (Jasper Polish), alone.

Maggie's husband is in prison, which gives the devout character some wiggle room when dealing with seedy individuals and reminds her that the ultimate goal is survival.

In other words, morals be damned when it comes to protecting your family.

Maggie is a manager for a storage facility. It's a structure several stories high and a maze-like floorplan.

Right out of the gate, we learn that Maggie is struggling financially. She can't keep it together,...

The ten-part drama, which launched at the Sundance Film Festival in January, is being sold at the LA Screenings, where Endeavor Content has hired out the theater at Soho House West Hollywood to attract buyers.

Writer-director Carlos V. Gutierrez’s “Locked In” is not to be confused with 2017’s “Locked In,” nor 2010’s “Locked In,” nor the numerous short films that have also used that title in the past two decades. Nonetheless, this low-budget potboiler’s common moniker is emblematic of its generally generic nature. A thriller about a woman’s efforts to thwart a pair of criminals who come looking for their loot, it’s that prolongs what should have been a relatively brief incident. Its prospects may be better on VOD than in theaters when it opens via both platforms on May 7, but most will wisely sidestep it altogether.

Save for a few brief scenes, almost all of “Locked In” takes place in a steely, nondescript storage facility run by Lee (Bruno Bichir) and his sole employee Maggie (Mena Suvari), who’s introduced getting accidentally locked in a unit, which causes her to...

For seven years, Catherine Oxenberg says, individuals within the Nxivm organization groomed her daughter India and made her believe in their group as one of empowerment, despite many of their practices being abusive towards women. Now, those years have been condensed into a 90-minute dramatization of Oxenberg’s story for Lifetime, entitled “Escaping the Nxivm Cult: A Mother’s Fight to Save Her Daughter.”

Starting the story in the pre-nxivm days for the Oxenberg family, the movie explores why the mother and daughter duo both took an early workshop and why only India continued on with the group. When the two have differences of opinions on how much time and energy India is putting into this organization, the movie splits its point of view to spend time alone with both characters. Catherine’s experiences, portrayed by Andrea Roth, are pulled from Oxenberg’s own memories and writing in “Captive: A...

Lifetime has released the trailer for its upcoming TV movie, “Escaping the Nxivm Cult: A Mother’s Fight to Save Her Daughter,” and it features chilling depictions of how women were coerced into sex slavery for Nxivm founder Keith Raniere.

Based on the memoir “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg, whose daughter, India, became embroiled in the darkest aspects of the group, the movie focuses on “a mother who will stop at nothing to get her daughter back and exposes the intricate seductive power of Allison and Keith and the mental and physical abuse India fell victim to,” according to Lifetime.

Andrea Roth plays Oxenberg, with Peter Facinelli playing cult-leader Raniere, Jasper Polish as India, and Sara Fletcher as “Smallville” actress Alison Mack.

“This is much more than just top secret. This is about learning to reach your maximum potential,” Raniere (Facinelli) says in the trailer,...

Half a dozen projects about Nxivm have emerged since the accusations arose that the group is a sex-trafficking cult that kept women as sex slaves for its founder, Keith Raniere, and that he branded them with his initials.

So far, Lifetime, HBO and ID have all announced new projects in development or production. No doubt more are coming — and a handful already exist to quell the public’s insatiable thirst for insider information about the organization that presented itself as a self-improvement group.

Nxivm first captured attention from national media and Hollywood last year after charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy were brought against some of its highest-ranking members, most notably former “Smallville” star Allison Mack and Raniere himself.

If there’s one thing I will take away from this years Frightfest it’s that this was the year that saw the tropes of the slasher movie return to the horror genre with a vengeance. From the strong final girl, to insane, and sometimes supernatural, killers and the idea that the horror movie is as metal as Iron Maiden… so gloriously metal… And nowhere are those three more prevalent than in Some Kind of Hate.

A new slasher movie is on it's way from Caliber Media and Revek Entertainment. 'Some Kind of Hate' is the bringing together of revenge and the supernatural as a bullied kid summons a spirit to deal with his tormentors. It's good to see writer/director Adam Egypt Mortimer trying something a little bit different with the genre but it does sound like a familiar amalgamation of past horror features that have already treaded similar ground - such as Brit horror 'Tormented' amongst others. But still our hopes are high. 'Some Kind of Hate' stars Ronen Rubinstein, the gorgeous Grace Phipps ('Fright Night'), Sierra McCormick, Michael Polish, Noah Segan ('Looper'), Spencer Breslin ('The Happening'), Maestro Harrell ('Suburgatory'), Jasper Polish ('The Astronaut Farmer'), Jeremy Hawkins, Brando Eaton and the sexy Lexi Atkins -below ('Zombeavers')....
