The Film Independent Spirit Awards began in 1984 as a way to shine a spotlight on smaller art-house movies made on a shoestring budget. To qualify these days, films have to cost no more than $20 million. You might think there would be little cross-over between this populist organization, which opens voting to all who pay a yearly fee of $95, and the glittery elitist Academy Awards.
But the winners lists of both organizations often match up. That is especially true in the supporting actress category, where the two groups agreed half of the time since 2009. The five featured women who claimed both an Oscar and a Spirit award in the past decade are Mo’Nique (“Precious”), Lupita Nyong’o (“12 Years a Slave”), Patricia Arquette (“Boyhood”), Allison Janey and Regina King (“If Beale Street Could Talk”).

Christina Aguilera has unveiled her spooky contribution to The Addams Family film, her new song, “Haunted Heart.” It follows the release of soundtrack song, “My Family,” featuring Migos, Snoop Dogg and Karol G.

Somehow, March is about to end. Ladies and gentlemen, as I seem to find myself saying around this point each and every single year…time really does fly. Believe it or not, we’re now a full three months into the 2018 movie calendar, which means we’re literally a quarter of the way through the film slate for the year. Wow. Just…wow. That got me thinking about what the best of the bunch so far this year has been, as I’m prone to do around this time each year. Since now is around the time when the film slate begins to transition into summer releases and counter programming independent fare ramps up, I thought it was the perfect time to praise the best of 2019 so far. Basically, anything that hit screens between January 1st and March 31st will be up for grabs here for my personal honors. Once again,...

"I have no idea who I'm supposed to be out there..." MGM has debuted one final official Us trailer for the wrestling drama Fighting with My Family, described as a "heartwarming and smart comedy that proves everything is worth fighting for when it comes to family." This movie is now playing in theaters everywhere, as it already opened on Valentine's Day last week.

Florence Pugh stars as Saraya, with Lena Headey, Nick Frost, Jack Lowden, plus Vince Vaughn, Stephen Merchant, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson playing himself.

A crowdpleaser down to its bones, Fighting with My Family shows the importance of bringing an entertaining perspective to a true story. This tale of a British underdog with major wrestling dreams is thoroughly elevated by the participation of writer-director Stephen Merchant. His brand of dry, off-kilter comedy surges through what is an otherwise inspiring, but by-the-numbers tale of childhood aspirations come true.
The Knight family’s one and only passion is wrestling. From a rough-and-tumble lower-class neighborhood in Norwich, Julia (Lena Headey) and (Nick Frost) found their way out of trouble by dedicating their life to the sport, which is “not fake, but fixed,” evidenced by the real injuries sustained by pulling off greater and greater stunts. This passion has extended to their daughter Saraya (Florence Pugh) and son Zak (Jack Lowden), who learn their craft at a young age and perform matches to a relatively small, but endearing...

Jennifer Lopez is about to join a prestigious list. MTV has announced that she will be the recipient of the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at this year’s Video Music Awards being held at Radio City Music Hall on Monday night, August 20. She will also perform during the VMAs telecast for the first time since 2001.
The Video Vanguard Award is an honorary prize that is handed out for a body of work in music and music videos, and Lopez certainly has a resume to qualify. After a career breakthrough in the 1990s as a Fly Girl on the sketch comedy “In Living Color,” she made a name for herself as an actress in films like “My Family” (1995) and “Selena” (1997), for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination.
Then Lopez transitioned to music in 1999 with the release of her first album, “On the 6,” and its lead single “If You Had My Love.

Award-winning American comedy writer-producer Fred Barron is heading up a highly successful venture to introduce the American studio production system to the British comedy process. His hit BBC comedy My Family has now led to a second sitcom, Everything I Know About Men, which is heading into production at the network under Barron's oversight. The new sitcom represents the second phase in a most unusual move by the BBC to have Barron pioneer American team comedy writing there, something entirely new in Britain, where TV sitcom writers usually work solo. Barron, whose executive producer credits include Seinfeld, The Larry Sanders Show and Caroline in the City, has been headquartered at the BBC for the past four years, charged with developing and showrunning new team-written sitcoms. But it's only now that he feels comfortable declaring the experiment a success.

Fred Barron, creator of the hit British comedy My Family, has filed a lawsuit against producer-distributor DLT Entertainment in an effort to stop DLT from licensing the format rights to the show in the United States. This summer, DLT started exploring the possibilities of setting up a U.S. version of the hot BBC One series (HR 8/11). Barron's lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, quotes a clause from a 2002 agreement between Barron and DLT that the two sides "agree that they will mutually agree upon a strategy and plan for seeking to develop, market and produce a U.S. version of the series." The suit, filed by attorneys Martin Singer and Allison Hart, claims that in breach of the 2002 agreement, DLT "has previously and is currently unilaterally attempting to market and sell the format rights for a U.S. version of the series to various television networks in the U.S. without (Barron's) knowledge or consent."...
