Ell Balinska doesn’t care much for method acting. When you play a character who spends the entirety of a movie running from a deranged killer who can smell your blood, that seems like a pretty healthy attitude. The 26-year-old Brit, whose mother is the former top model and Food Network host Lorraine Pascale, knows a thing or two about protecting yourself in the midst of a grueling career. Though she is covered in blood in almost every scene of chilling new movie “Run Sweetheart Run,” she learned very quickly not to take work home with her.
“It’s an artist’s temptation to want to suffer and really feel the character. There’s a tricky balance there if you do that because while these themes are very real, the story is not,” the “Charlie’s Angels” star said during a recent interview. “For two weeks after I finished shooting, I...

“Oh this is some bull,” tweeted Rolling Stone TV critic Alan Sepinwall about Netflix’s announcement on March 14 that they’re cancelling “One Day at a Time” after three seasons. Well, Sepinwall tweeted a gif of Justina Machado from the show saying that, but the sentiment applies across the internet, from Twitter to our own forums.
Netflix‘s statement on Twitter read, “We’ve made the very difficult decision not to renew ‘One Day at a Time‘ for a fourth season. The choice did not come easily — we spent several weeks trying to find a way to make another season work but in the end simply not enough people watched to justify another season.” Though the streaming service has been notoriously mum about what the viewership figures for its shows and movies actually are.
