After giving birth to son Tucker in August 2014, Kristy Ardo was desperate to get back into her old workout routine, but she didn't want to miss out on time with her newborn. "Everything was completely brand new after having Tucker," Ardo, 25, tells People. "I suddenly had to figure out how to juggle my own health while taking care of a baby. With the lack of sleep it was hard to find time or energy." "I couldn't justify going to the gym by myself after getting off work. Spending time with him is my priority." Her brilliant solution? Incorporating Tucker into her exercises.

Need a good laugh, but only got an hour and a half? Might we recommend this little lot...
I’m of the firm belief that films work most effectively when their runtime is 90 minutes or less. It forces an economy of story and dialogue which propels the film into its best self. No bloated middle, extended ending, or wasted stories here. This goes double for comedies. They should never outstay their welcome. But they seem to be getting longer, as we recently pointed out here.
So to refresh your movie comedy palette, here are 25 films that are 90 minutes or under. I’ve tried to avoid the more obvious ones, and shine a light on those comedies which might have gone a bit unappreciated over the years, but are well worth a hour and a half of your time. This lean runtime isn’t a guarantee of greatness of course,...

Jon Wright on directing Robot Overlords, working with Ben Kingsley and Gillian Anderson, and why he made an 80s-style family film.
Three films in, and Jon Wright is very much a director whose output is worth keeping an eye on. His first full feature, Tormented, was an effective horror with some strong moments, but it was Grabbers where he really struck gold. It remains, along with Tucker & Dale Vs Evil, our favourite horror comedy of recent times. Wright has taken a different turn for his new movie, Robot Overlords, a sci-fi movie aimed at a family audience. And he spared us some time to natter about it...
Can you put into words how you're feeling, on the eve of your film's release?
Well, I'm a bit nervous about the release, as you would be. Hoping it goes well. And I'm reading all the press that people are writing, which I actually think is very interesting.

Michael revisits the 1996 incarnation of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, a magical BBC series that was ahead of its time...
Spoiler warning: While this article is about a 17-year old TV programme, it inevitably discusses plot points that are also present in the currently-broadcasting radio drama remake.
“Let me tell you a story. No, wait, one’s not enough. I’ll begin again...”
So reads the back-cover blurb of Neil Gaiman’s 2006 short story anthology Fragile Things, but it’s as apt a beginning as any for an expedition back through the knotted overgrowths of time to the author’s 1996 foray into television: the six-part miniseries Neverwhere.
Now, let’s get this out of the way first: there is no single, true ‘Neverwhere’. Like its signature setting, a semi-mythological, hidden version of London that exists below the streets of Britain’s capital, Neverwhere is a...

Review Ryan Lambie 13 Mar 2013 - 11:49
Sam Raimi's classic Evil Dead gets a remake. The result, Ryan writes, is a film low on scares but full of entertaining splatter...
No one needed a Nightmare On Elm Street remake. The world wasn't crying out for a reworking of Halloween, or The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, or The Hills Have Eyes. Likewise, Sam Raimi's 1981 carnival of gore The Evil Dead stands alone as a masterpiece of horror cinema, and is no more in need of a modern update than, say, Citizen Kane or Vertigo.
The Evil Dead's nasty little tendrils have also spread so far into filmmakers' collective imaginations that, almost 30 years later, its woodland cabin setting has passed from archetype to cliché; the subgenre's now as old and familiar to modern audiences as the flying saucer invasion movie or the gothic horror flick was to cinemagoers in the 80s.

Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film has long been a huge fan of the Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival. Every year we’re extremely impressed with the way it pokes, prods, pushes and stabs the horror genre in entertaining new directions through its diverse selection of boundary breaking movies. Some of our favorite horror flicks of the past few years — such as James Eaves‘ Bane, Rona Mark‘s Strange Girls and Stuart Simpson‘s El Monstro Del Mar — came to us through Spooky Movie.
This year will mark Spooky Movie’s seventh year in existence and it should prove to be a major milestone in the fest’s history as it will move to a new home at the prestigious AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring, Maryland. As the festival busily prepares for their biggest edition yet to be held on October 10-18, we thought we’d check...

Meet a new kind of reality TV family. TLC's "Leave It to Niecy" (premieres Sun., Mar. 25, 10 p.m. Et) is an eight-episode, half-hour series that follows Niecy Nash and her family, including her new husband, Jay Tucker, whom she married on the TLC special "Niecy Nash's Wedding Bash" last year; their combined four children; and Niecy's mom, Miss Margaret.
They're calling this a "docu-sitcom," with the feel of a traditional sitcom, but none of the scripting. Of course some of the clips feel a bit staged -- not more than, say, sending the "Jersey Shore" cast to Italy and having them work in a pizza joint though -- but Nash and Tucker swear that this is just their family, funnier than average though they may be. (Check out our exclusive sneak peek of the premiere, below, to see for yourself.)
I caught up with the happy couple, still very much acting like lovey-dovey newlyweds,...

From wool tights to bow ties, these gals looked great on the red carpet in their creative get-ups — but who do you think was best dressed last night?
Celebs braved the terrible weather last night in NYC for Target’s Go International Designer Collective Launch at the Ace Hotel on Mar. 10, and somehow the heavy rain didn’t put a damper on the stars’ style! Some of our fave looks were Oliva Munn’s sweet belted school-girl dress paired with warm gray tights and Michelle Trachtenberg’s gorgeous draping fall 2011 Rebecca Minkoff dress — I’m so jealous to see the star in one of my fave looks from the runway!
Also in attendance were Liv Tyler, DJ Mia Moretti, and Chloe Sevigny — but I’m not sure how to feel about Chloe’s leopard print dress and bow tie combo! Leave it to the star to keep it interesting and edgy.

The Washington, D.C. international Horror Film Festival will be held from October 13 – 16, 2011. Some of the outstanding films that played at Spooky Movie in 2010 included Tucker And Dale Vs.

And now, new for 2011, they have new home central to all of the action – the brand new, 240 seat Dome Theatre at Artisphere, conveniently located 2 blocks from the Rosslyn Metro stop, and precariously located less than one mile from the notorious “Exorcist” steps.
