When Hallmark+ was announced in summer 2024, it was revealed that Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas movies would not be added to the app.

“‘Countdown to Christmas’ remains a linear experience,” Hallmark Media’s EVP of Programming, Lisa Hamilton Daly told Variety at the time.

She added, “The content on the app is going to be Holidazed, Mistletoe Murders, our unscripted shows and a couple of movie trilogies coming up that we haven’t announced yet. There’s going to be a bunch of holiday content, but it’s going to be separate and different from what’s on linear.”

Ever since Steven Spielberg adapted Michael Criction's iconic novel, Jurassic Park has remained the template for the dinosaur genre in film, with everything else either parodying or homaging the 1993 Oscar winner. Amidst the crowd, there have been a variety of movies with their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks, which Mike Capes and Johnny Wickham's The Invisible Raptor aims to be, and yet the seemingly self-aware feature finds itself way too bogged down by its underwhelming script.

The Invisible Raptor is a film directed by Mike Hermosa, in which a top-secret experiment unleashes a hyper-intelligent invisible raptor upon a neighborhood. A disgraced paleontologist, his ex-girlfriend, an unhinged security guard, and a local celebrity chicken farmer must unite to stop the creature's rampage.

Those who grew up watching FX-heavy seriocomic mainstream creature features of the 1980s and ’90s may enjoy the nostalgic fun had at their expense in “The Invisible Raptor.” Viewers resistant to a landslide of scatological humor, however, may find the laughs pretty slim in this overlong, uninspired monster spoof. Director Mike Hermosa’s indie feature is enterprisingly polished, but the weak material provided by Mike Capes and Johnny Wickham’s screenplay might’ve worked better boiled down to the length of a “Funny or Die” short. After a run of genre festival gigs, it’s being launched by Well Go USA on limited screens and digital platforms Dec. 6.

Dumb comedies come in several varieties. The worst are those that don’t realize what a mess they’re making before unleashing them on unsuspecting viewers. The others are intentionally designed to be stupid, and can range from brilliant to moderately amusing. Invisible Raptor falls within the last group. The title alone tells you where it’s headed, so here’s how to watch it:

Step one is to suspend a heaping dung-load of disbelief as to whether such a creature could exist, and why the hell any scientists would raise it. Once you leap that hurdle and buy the premise, you know what must occur. It will escape and start chomping the local populace, while a handful of feckless protagonists stumble around trying to contain or kill it. No mystery as to what must occur, but there are...

"The Inner Light" remains one of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's (Patrick Stewart) greatest Star Trek: The Next Generation stories. From "The Best of Both Worlds" to "Lower Decks," several iconic Tng episodes continue to reverberate throughout the Star Trek timeline. Not only do these episodes contain plot elements that remain relevant in the franchise today, but they also affect the USS Enterprise-d's main characters in often profound ways. "The Inner Light," for example, tells an unconventional Star Trek story in which Captain Picard lives an entire life in a matter of minutes.

In Star Trek: The Next Generation season 5, episode 25, "The Inner Light," an energy beam from an alien probe renders Captain Picard unconscious. While the crew of the USS Enterprise-d tries to figure out how to wake their Captain, Picard experiences a lifetime of 40 years living on an alien planet as a man named Kamin.

Hallmark’s Countdown To Christmas movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story is causing a huge sensation. While this movie is not about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s love story, this is certainly inspired by it. Moreover, his mom, Donna Kelce, is in this holiday movie, along with the leads, Hunter King and Tyler Hynes.

As there was some down time, did Mama Kelce talk about her sons or the pop star? Tyler and Hunter dished on that very thing.

This week, the stars of Hallmark’s Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story have been all over the media talking about the holiday romcom. However, when Parade spoke to one of the stars of the movie, Tyler Hynes, they wanted to know what Donna Kelce was like on set.

Hunter King and Tyler Hynes are sparking a romantic connection in the trailer for Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.

Hallmark and the NFL teamed up to produce the holiday movie, which sees a Kansas City Chiefs superfan and the team’s director of fan engagement fall in love. While the film isn’t based on anything specifically, the film does come after global superstar Taylor Swift made waves in the football world when she started dating Chiefs star Travis Kelce last year.

“Alana Higman (King) is sure that her family’s lifelong history as Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them a frontrunner to win the team’s ‘Fan of the Year’ contest. Derrick (Hynes), director of fan engagement, is tasked with evaluating how Alana and her family stack up against the other two finalists. As the pair spends time together, it’s clear there’s a spark between them...

It’s that time of year again, and home for the holidays has an all-new meaning at Hallmark with the debut of feature “Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story.”

The Hallmark Channel, which is based in Kansas City, has tapped into the viral fandom of Super Bowl-winning football team the Chiefs for an NFL-produced co-production holiday film. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce has a very public romance with Taylor Swift and also has made his own acting debut recently. Kelce’s mother Donna Kelce even has a cameo in “Holiday Touchdown,” along with Coach Andy Reid and Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.

Reigning Hallmark heartthrob Tyler Hynes leads “Holiday Touchdown” alongside actress Hunter King.

The official synopsis reads: “Alana Higman (King) is sure that her family’s lifelong history as Kansas City Chiefs superfans makes them a frontrunner to win the team...

Fans of dinosaur movies are going to love The Invisible Raptor, a film which really is just as crazy as it sounds. Directed by Mike Hermosa, who also helmed Dutch Hollow and Wildflower, the plot of The Invisible Raptor focuses on an invisible velociraptor which was created by scientists before breaking free from captivity and slaughtering everything in its path.

With law enforcement not being able to determine the culprit behind the attacks, it falls to failed palaeontologist Dr. Grant Walker (Mike Capes) and his security guard friend, Deniel ‘Denny’ Denielson (David Shackelford), to save the day. As the bodycount continues to rise (with the spectacular gruesome kills being one of the film’s strongest qualities), Walker and Denielson are forced to resort to drastic measures in order to stop the invisible reptile.

In addition to playing the lead role of Dr. Grant Walker, Capes also penned the screenplay for The Invisible Raptor,...

Hallmark Channel news reveals the cast of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Hallmark Christmas film, Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, is expanding with a fresh batch of cameo appearances. Catrick Mahomes, a seven-year-old Bengal-Tabby mix, is the ideal addition to our family-you might even say he’s purr-fect!

Hallmark Channel News – Sly James The Cat’s First Acting Role

Sly James the Cat, aged 7, has captured the hearts of local Chiefs fans by being dressed up as the team’s star quarterback Patrick Mahomes by his owner, teacher Brandy Peed.

The feline sensation, who is a hit on social media, is considered a good luck charm as he dons his game day outfit for every match.

According to Peed, missing out on dressing up Sly James has resulted in losses for the team, making it almost a superstition to ensure he is dressed up.

The duo always goes all...

“It’s not a remake. It’s not a sequel. And it’s not based on a Japanese one.”

Hatchet‘s festival tagline — a quote from a major studio’s rejection of the film — served as a rally cry for horror fans. Despite its roots planted firmly in practical effects-driven ’80s slashers a la Friday the 13th, Hatchet felt fresh and exciting when it arrived in 2006; a gory but lighthearted reprieve from torturous studio horror littered with janky CGI and cheap scares.

Willed into existence by writer-director Adam Green based on a character he conceived as an 8-year-old summer camper, the Hatchet franchise centers on Victor Crowley — the hulking, vengeful spirit of a deformed boy that haunts the swamps of New Orleans. Kane Hodder brings a similar physicality to the role as he did to Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th Parts VII-x, but Crowley is more ferocious. The casting...

A new Hallmark movie is coming to television. The film is a Christmas movie based around the Kansas City Chiefs. With so many Chiefs players that fans might want to see in the movie, two names rise to the top — Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. However, some fans might do a double-take when they see who was cast.

The new Hallmark Christmas movie has cast Catrick Mahomes, and here is what you need to know.

Who Is Catrick Mahomes?

When Hallmark cast Catrick Mahomes in its new Christmas movie about the Kansas City Chiefs, many fans might have thought it was a misspelling. However, it is not misspelled at all. This is not Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. This is Catrick Mahomes. He is a cat.

Catrick Mahomes is a seven-year-old Bengal-Tabby mix, whose real name is Sly James the Cat. He even has an Instagram page.

The marriage of Swifties and Chiefs fans has culminated in the mother of all cameos.

Following her son Travis Kelce‘s whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift, his mother Donna Kelce has been cast alongside Hunter King and Tyler Hynes in Hallmark‘s upcoming 15th Countdown to Christmas movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story, premiering later this year.

Beau should not sleep. Earlier in the day, when he tried to leave his apartment to see his mother, Beau left his door open with the keys still in the lock. When he returned to the door after turning back to retrieve a forgotten item, his keys were gone.

Worse, when Beau asks a man in the hallway about the missing keys, the passerby shouts, “You’re fucked, pal!”

Yes, the above scene does occur in Beau is Afraid, last year’s weirdo epic starring Joaquin Phoenix as the titular disturbed man. But before he made Beau is Afraid as his third feature film, director Ari Aster introduced Billy Mayo as the fearful lead of his short movie, “Beau.”

Although Beau is Afraid benefits from a much larger budget and A-list stars, including Patti LuPone as Beau’s famous mother and Parker Posey as his childhood love, and although it...

Office Space is celebrating its 25th anniversary following its delayed path to success, although hopefully no one would get their ass kicked for saying something like that.

Released Feb. 19, 1999, director Mike Judge’s enduring and endlessly quotable workplace satire follows computer programmer Peter Gibbons (Ron Livingston), who decides to stop caring about his day job and teams up with Initech co-workers Michael Bolton (David Herman) and Samir Nagheenanajar (Ajay Naidu) to defraud the company. The Fox comedy — featuring such on-the-rise performers as Jennifer Aniston, John C. McGinley, Gary Cole and Stephen Root — collected just $10 million at the time but became a cult favorite after finding a following through cable and home video.

Other standouts from the cast include Richard Riehle as engineer liaison Tom Smykowski, who defends his job (“I have people skills!”) to Paul Willson and McGinley as the two Bobs who are put in charge of layoffs. In...

The cast also includes Samantha Sloyan, Mike C. Nelson, Richard Riehle, Jeremiah Birkett and Sarah Lassez.

In the film, after a wise-cracking alien named Chuck (Roberts) crashes in the backyard, the Jankins family teams up with their new otherworldly friend to battle a dangerous array of pursuers.

"Eyes on the fire, Sammy boy." Level 33 Ent. has debuted an official trailer for an indie sci-fi comedy called Adventures of the Naked Umbrella, the latest from filmmaker Gerald Brunskill. It's available to watch at the end of this week on VOD, if you want to fire it up.

"I'm not from Hell, I'm from Indiana!" A festival promo trailer crashes in for an indie sci-fi comedy called Invaders From Proxima B, made by actor / filmmaker Ward Roberts. It's premiering in the next week at the 2023 Austin Film Festival in Texas, though has no other release dates set - it'll be touring at more fests. When a cute, wise-cracking alien from Proxima B named Chuck crash lands in their backyard, the Jankins family must work together to save their new fuzzy friend from a dangerous array of weirdos that show up in hot pursuit. The stakes couldn't be higher for Chuck, the Jankins, and maybe even all of planet Earth. It's super wacky – when the puppet alien shows up gets really fun. Reminds me of the kind of mega low budget, kooky and amusing early films the Duplass Bros or Kevin Smith made early on. Ward Roberts also stars with Samantha Sloyan,...

I remember hearing Viggo Mortensen on an episode of Here’s The Thing with Alec Baldwin where he came off as the rare combination of pretentious but likable. A man who carried himself as an intelligent, soft-spoken guy who liked arthouse movies and votes Green Party, he had just the right amount of movie-star charisma to pull off his slightly self-satisfied air. So essentially I want to root for the guy, especially when tackling moviemaking.

For a second I thought he was capitalizing on it in his second directorial effort. The opening two shots of The Dead Don’t Hurt showed some promise: 1) a man riding horseback in knight’s armor, followed by 2) a long take fixating on a dying Vicky Krieps’ face. From there I thought Mortensen was maybe, as director, smuggling a surrealism and slow cinema inspired by collaborator Lisandro Alonso into TIFF-premiere filler. Yet that mystery and formal precision soon ends.

When you think of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," you probably think of the hit TV series that introduced an entire generation of '90s kids to the metaphor of high school being like a horror movie. But if you happened to come of age in the early '90s, you might well remember your first introduction to the character of The Slayer coming with 1992's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" movie.

Written by Joss Whedon, who eventually became showrunner on the TV series, and directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui, the film starred Kristy Swanson as the titular slayer and was a decidedly lighthearted affair, especially in comparison to the show that succeeded it. Co-starring Luke Perry and featuring a surprisingly impressive cast that included Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer, Hilary Swank, and Paul Reubens, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" '92 debuted to unfavorable reviews and was sadly relegated to a footnote in "Buffy...

... Well then! If you've just watched tonight's episode of HBO's "Barry," entitled "it takes a psycho", then you know that for a show that is rarely screwing around, this episode really and truly did not screw around. If you haven't watched, just be warned (even more than usual) that surprises are plenty this week, so spoilers ahoy.

As you'll likely recall, last week's installment wrapped with Barry Berkman (Bill Hader) escaping prison thanks to a botched hit job (involving a hitman/podcaster played by Fred Armisen). So it's no surprise that this week starts in prison, as the grumpy warden (Richard Riehle) instigates a beatdown of Barry's old friend Monroe Fuches (Stephen Root), presuming the latter let the would-be assassins inside. Though Fuches did know about the attempt on Barry's life and tried to warn the now-infuriated guards, he of course has no idea where Barry might be at the moment.
