It's nearly fall, but the spooky season is already here. Stir-crazed masses battling a lingering pandemic, climate change, and upheaval are pulling out the seasonal decor earlier, eager to change the vibe and settle into the oddly comforting world of the strange and the morbid. Over the coming weeks, theaters across North America will oblige and showcase an "X" prequel, a star-studded Olivia Wilde-directed thriller, the exceedingly creepy-looking psych-thriller "Smile," and Zach Cregger's rental home hellscape "Barbarian." As folks will start to pull out their sweaters and add a little pumpkin to their coffee, and they'll be in need of some at-home entertainment to match the oncoming autumn mood. For horror fans, the fall equinox (and the entire month that precedes it) is prime time, when the programming powers-that-be start adding a little more genre spice to their offerings in anticipation of Halloween.

Hallmark is unveiling seven nights of new Christmas movies during the Thanksgiving week. That's a lot of glorious holiday entertainment to look forward to!
Tonight's movie is A Christmas Tree Grows in Colorado, starring Rochelle Aytes as Erin Chambers, the mayor's daughter and a city organizer tapped to help reinvigorate the tourism industry for Brooklyn, Colorado.
Erin butts heads with Kevin (Mark Taylor) along the way, and their chemistry ignites some holiday sparks, resulting in a fiery liplock!
We had a chance to catch up with Rochelle, so before you tune into night, get to know her a little better.
You always have so many irons in the fire. What made you get on board with the Hallmark Christmas movie?
Thanks. Yeah, I mean, I love to work and this was one of those projects, and it doesn't always happen, where I was offered the role and I read the script.

Welcome back to Let’s Scare Bryan to Death! This month I’m chatting with Harmony Colangelo, a writer who specializes in transgender representation in media, including some great pieces on the recent vampire flick Bit and the cult classic Sleepaway Camp. She also just launched a brand new podcast with wife and (and previous Lsbtd guest) Bj Colangelo called This Ends at Prom, which is a delightful look at “teen girl” movies “through the lens of cis and trans femme perspectives.” It’s a fun, nuanced show and I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t yet had the chance.
Colangelo’s pick this month is an interesting one, as it finally gives me a chance to explore the wild world of Disney Channel Original Movies. Fans of the site of course know that Derek Anderson is our resident Dcom expert. Given the fact that the first...

Title: Nesting Director: John Chuldenko Starring: Todd Grinnell, Ali Hillis, Kevin Linehan, Erin Chambers, Erin Gray The challenges of a young marriage without kids is an infrequent subject in movies, but that’s the sweet spot of examination in writer-director John Chuldenko’s bittersweet, fitfully engaging “Nesting,” which benefits from a pair of appealing leads and this sort of original focus, but ultimately doesn’t showcase enough psychological perspicacity or elicit a deep enough audience identification to rise above the level of bohemian curio. Los Angelenos Neil (Todd Grinnell) and Sarah (Ali Hillis), a thirtysomething but childless married couple, find themselves stuck in a bit of a relationship rut. They have to clear [ Read More ]...

When I told Jonathan Jackson that he’d made me cry — twice! — with his performance as a father whose child died on Monday’s General Hospital, he wasn’t exactly wracked with guilt about it.
“I sort of want to apologize but I’m not sure I should. It was kind of what we were going for,” says Jackson, who in 2009 returned to the character of Lucky Spencer, son of famed Luke and Laura, which he’d originated back in 1993.
The tears flowed pretty easily over the last few days as 4-year-old Jake, Lucky’s child in every way that...
