It's been 10 years since Caylee Anthony's remains were found in a trash bag near her family's home — but people still have questions surrounding her death, like who is Caylee Anthony's father? While many of the details surrounding Casey Anthony's trial are clouded in mystery, this one is arguably the most intriguing of all. But true crime aficionados aren't the only ones in the dark about Caylee's paternity —and sources close to Casey revealed that not even the people closest to her know. "I don’t know who the father was. She doesn’t talk about it. She will never tell anyone. She’ll take that secret to the grave," an insider revealed to People, and hinted that Casey might not even be sure who was her baby daddy. "If she knows who the father is, she’s not telling." Caylee with her maternal grandma. (Photo Credit: Getty Images...

I teared up during Brick Mansions. I know what you’re thinking – huh? But trust me, you may have a similar experience. The film, a remake of the influential French actioner District 13, marks one of the final big screen roles (and the last completed project) for Fast & Furious star Paul Walker, who died in a car accident last year. For me, the moment came when, after the final shot faded to black, a picture of the actor appeared on the screen, captioned with the words “In Loving Memory of Paul Walker.”
As he smiled out over the theater, many viewers stood to their feet, and we all applauded. For the first time since Walker’s death, I understood a little about the actor’s fans, and just how much Walker really meant to them. He was more than just another handsome A-lister with a devil-may-care attitude; Walker’s youthful features,...

The past two weeks, on Grimm: Momma Burkhardt is back, Juliette is awesome, and Adalind’s gonna deal some damage
Grimm has long been a series that distinguishes itself with its portrayals of nuanced, independent, and yes, strong (physically, mentally, and morally) women. In “Synchronicity” and “The Law of Sacrifice”, the women take center stage once again and give viewers two of the season’s most engaging and entertaining episodes. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio made an impression in season two but has been wisely kept among the guest cast, popping in here for only the second time; the show is already struggling with its...

Grimm, Season 3, Episode 6, “Stories We Tell Our Young”
Written by Michael Duggan
Directed by Aaron Lipstadt
Airs Fridays at 9pm Est on NBC
This week, on Grimm: Capt. Renard goes to visit family, Rosalee calls the Council, and Nick learns how to spell eukaryotic
After last week’s delightfully straightforward fallout to the email from Nick’s mom, “Stories We Tell Our Young” gives viewers another episode that refreshingly bucks procedural conventions. When Nick and Hank look to be dealing with the closest thing the Wesen world has to demon possession, the answer to the bizarre phenomena they witness is unsurprisingly found in science, thanks to Juliette. Rather than Star Trek the explanation though, writer Michael Duggan adds complexity, starting with the basics and layering on scientific specifics. We don’t get a load of technobabble from Juliette which is then pared down so the simple folk can understand,...

Debuting to huge fanfare back in 1994, Earth 2 was, at the time, event TV on both sides of the pond. Produced by Steven Spielberg under his Amblin Entertainment banner, the pilot was originally released on VHS by Universal before the series debuted later the same year on Sky TV to huge critical and fan praise. Sadly the fanfare and furore surrounding the series and it’s big name producer didn’t translate to ratings and the show was cancelled after only one season of 22 episodes.

New York -- Sundance Channel is entering the scripted-series arena with a slate of four projects in development from such auspices as John Malkovich and Tony To.
Following sister network AMC into original programming, the network will kick off its foray into original scripted programming in the fall with three-part French miniseries "Carlos," about terrorist Carlos the Jackal, which the channel acquired in November.
The channel's brass screened scenes from the mini starring Edgar Ramirez ("Che") and directed by French filmmaker Olivier Assayas ("Summer Hours") on Tuesday in New York.
In unveiling Sundance Channel's 2010 lineup and development slate, executive vp and general manager Sarah Barnett said the channel will focus on original shows, characters and stories that are "addictive, urgent and timely" and wants to be as adventurous as the Sundance festival is in film.
The goal is to present "a rebooted arts channel that makes noise" with flair and fun,...
