Lifetime has unveiled the premiere dates for their robust slate of winter movies. From music icons to deadly cheerleaders to the daughter of a notorious mob boss, the network isn’t holding back when it comes to the drama — some based on true stories, some not — for 2019.
Highlights of their slate include Love You to Death (January 26) starring Marcia Gay Harden, which is based on the true story of a mother and daughter who are nothing like they seem, their tumultuous relationship ending in a brutal murder.

Spoiler Alert: The story includes details about the series finale of Nashville.
Nashville tonight wrapped its six-season run — four on ABC and two on Cmt — with an eventful finale that featured the return (in a flashback) of the beloved Rayna James (Connie Britton), a happy ending for virtually every character but baddie Brad and a love letter to the city of Nashville.
It was payback time for the final season’s villain, the arrogant label owner Brad (Jeffrey Nordling). With help of Deacon (Charles Esten), Alannah (Rainee Lyleson), the object of Brad’s unwelcome sexual advances in the final season’s #metoo storyline, pulled off a sting operation, getting Brad’s harassment on tape. She, Deacon and Zach (Cameron Scoggins) then used the recording to blackmail Brad into selling his Shiny New Records to Deacon and Zach for a fraction of its value. And Jessie (Kaitlin Doubleday) got full custody of their son Jake.

Let's start with a couple of caveats: 1) Jem and the Holograms, the 2015 adaptation of the Hasbro toy line and cartoon series directed by Jon M. Chu, is terrible; 2) I sort of adore it. I don't like it in any of the "underappreciated good movie" ways or even the "so bad it's good" ways. Honestly: Jem is atrocious filmmaking. It's miscast: Aubrey Peeples can carry most of her scenes but can't cry-act to save her life, and has to cry-act maybe ten times in the needlessly cry-acty motion picture. It's misconceived: the Misfits are left for a Nick Fury stinger in the end credits, leaving Jerrica's crushing self-identity issues as the film's only real "villain." It's also misguided: the film seems underwritten and...

The long goodbye... Will Chase (Luke Wheeler) and Aubrey Peeples (Layla Grant) are unlikely to be part of the Nashville TV series cast in its fifth season, according to The Hollywood Reporter. This news comes less than two weeks after Cmt picked up Nashville season five, after ABC abruptly cancelled the fan-favorite Country Music drama series.
THR says Chase and Peeples will probably be the only Nashville series regulars who won't make the leap to Cmt. Reportedly, talks with the other stars are going well, including Connie Britton, as well as Hayden Panettiere, whose future was in question after fourth season's cliffhanger finale.

To use a phrase popular with one of Nashville‘s main characters, it’s wheels up for Luke and Layla when the country-music drama returns for a fifth season. Series regulars Will Chase and Aubrey Peeples will not be with the show when it makes its Cmt debut, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Chase’s Luke had little to do after his engagement with Rayna fizzled in Season 3; most of his Season 4 storyline involved sticking up for Wheelin’ Dealin’ Records artist Will Lexington when he was attacked by a homophobic talk-show host.

The show must go on. Nashville fans were left with the jaws on the floor when Jeff (Oliver Hudson) died at the end of the Oct. 28 episode, falling to his death after preventing Juliette (Hayden Panettiere) from jumping off a roof. Even more surprised by his grisly end than the ABC drama's viewers? Hudson's co-stars, including Aubrey Peeples. While Peeples knew Hudson would be leaving the show (due to his commitment to Fox's Scream Queens), she had no idea his exit would be so shocking. "I did not know they were going to murder him so brutally, or kill him so brutally," she told E! News at the JCPenney Cma Style Suite. "It was definitely a shock. I was very surprised. It was...

No one else is the same… Em is her name! But, does the new Jem live up to her 80’s legend? Now you have two ways to find out! Not only will you find my written review below, but I also shot and edited a review just for you! (Go easy on me since I’ve never shot myself before!) It’s a ‘choose you’re own adventure’ kind of review!
Jerrica Benton, a small town girl is thrust into the spotlight after being discovered on YouTube, and is on the ride of her life with her sisters. The problem is that her video was posted under the alias ‘Jem,’ and now that’s who the world wants. Jerrica is now on a mission to find her voice in the world, and getting into mischief along the way.
I’m not going to lie. I was worried about this when I saw the trailer.

With no nostalgic bias or any real affinity for Jem’s totally tubular television show, my first true interaction with Jerrica Benton is Blumhouse’s (assuredly budget-controlled) adaptation, this year’s Jem And The Holograms. You know, the version where Google Maps substitute for overhead views, musical interludes are comprised of existing YouTube videos edited together, and where fan-submitted videos make up entire scenes of footage – yup, it’s all Blumhouse-d to hell. Poor Jon M. Chu was most certainly handcuffed monetarily on certain decisions, but even so, that doesn’t excuse a blasé coming-of-age story that should have been “outta sight” given Jem’s (originally) holographic disguise – which is totally changed. Here’s the watered-down, Blumhouse version of Jem that fans certainly weren’t asking for, built on healthy doses of believing in yourself, misty-eyed hugs, and utterly mundane generics.

A ‘throw everything against the wall’ quality and downright catchy songs lift this sunny adaptation of the 80s cartoon despite a fairly ridiculous story
Based on the 1980s cartoon produced by toy manufacturer Hasbro, Jon M Chu’s updated, live-action film adaptation is by no means anything you’d call a great film. The moralizing is omnipresent, the script is desultory and its understanding of the way business and media work is positively jejune. But those are all big words that have no impact on its intended audiences. The music is catchy, the costumes are dazzling, the friendships are sweet and Rio (Ryan Guzman), the protective older boy who eventually falls in love with our lead character, is soooooo cuuuuuuute. This movie sure means well, and it’s just entertaining enough to (slightly) slip off the shackles of the great cultural conformity factory it ultimately represents. “Truly Outrageous” is a stretch,...

A virtual advertisement for YouTube as the vehicle for everyday people to express their inner selves — and, in the process, to achieve stardom and communion with likeminded souls (i.e. their fans) — “Jem and the Holograms” updates the popular ‘80s cartoon in ways both hyper-contemporary and laughably hackneyed. Largely discarding that kid’s show’s supernatural elements in favor of lame viral-video dreams about making it big while staying loyal to one’s self and family, this dreary origin story isn’t so much an adaptation as a reconfiguration. Far from the rock-star-superhero fantasy that the original “Jem” peddled, this big-screen iteration instead imagines that there’s nothing as great, or as unifying, as posting clips of yourself on the Internet, and waiting for everyone to immediately fawn all over you as a genuine voice of a generation. That’s what happens to Jerrica Benton (Aubrey Peeples), a girl living...

Based on the 1980s animated television series, this October sees a rejuvenation of Jem and the Holograms, as it takes form in a new live-action film. In this new featurette, we go behind the scenes with director Jon M. Chu, creator of the television series Christy Marx, and members of the cast including Molly Ringwald, Aubrey Peeples, Hayley Kiyoko, Aurora Perrineau, and Stefanie Scott, as they tell us about what the film stands for.
Jem and the Holograms is primarily a coming-of-age story, about a young girl who, suddenly in the spotlight, has to choose who she wants to be. It's themes such as finding your own identity that drew the cast, and especially actress Molly Ringwald, to the project. For Molly, a coming-of-age story is something that resonated with her as it's a theme that resided in the films that made her famous, such as Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club.

Jem and the Holograms may go down in movie history as one of the craziest things to have ever happened, but not for the simple reason that it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be a great film. The film is about to hit (October 23), and no one seems to be making a truly concerted effort to let you know.
Back when the film was announced, and subsequently when casting info came out, the ’80s were on people’s lips, and a lot of retro everything was hot. That trend has died out, and not that many people took to Jem anyway. Jon M. Chu was somewhat hot at the time too, as the man behind The Lxd, and a couple of Step Up titles was attached to G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and uhh… ’80s cartoons, right?
At this point, things are a little weird for the film, and...
