Rush Hour 2 needs no introduction. When the first movie came out in 1998, no one could have imagined the acclaim and success it would achieve – earning millions at the box office and basically begging for the next part. Usually, nothing exceptional ever comes out of sequels and neither is it expected.

Almost every time, the virgin feeling of the movie concept is absent, the storyline is on a similar pattern, there is no plot mystery and the viewer's feeling for expecting something new is usually not there. It is because, in most cases, the second or third part feels like the continuation of the same idea or maybe something new but on a slightly different tangent. Rush Hour 2 feels just like that. However, it is not implied in any way that the movie is bad – In fact the complete opposite.

Eric Winter is apologizing to fans after a Trump video was reposted to his TikTok timeline and says he did not intentionally do that.

A 1988 clip of Trump on The Oprah Winfrey Show was reposted by Eric‘s account and he has been called out on social media for his presumed support of the next president.

Fans of Eric‘s wife Roselyn Sanchez spoke out and pointed out how she was born in Puerto Rico, a place that was called “garbage” by a Trump rally speaker just last week.

Homicide: Life on the Street is streaming on Peacock, bringing joy to fans of its original ’90s run, fans of Andre Braugher, and those who will become fans after their first viewing.

This popular and critically beloved show has been available on DVD for years but was Mia on any streaming service until now.

Homicide: Life on the Street joins two other classic shows, Moonlighting and Northern Exposure, that were lost to streaming until recently.

Like Homicide: Life on the Street, these two shows had at least been available for purchase on DVD, whereas many other shows from that era weren’t so lucky.

Since streaming is how most people access visual media these days, just how many other forgotten gems of TV history are we missing out on?

Exclusive: Boxing mother-and-son drama Undercard, starring comedian Wanda Sykes in her first big dramatic film role, has begun principal photography in Puerto Rico for Catalyst Studios.

Emmy Award-winning Sykes plays Cheryl “No Mercy” Stewart, a two-time former boxing champion and recovering alcoholic.

The movie follows her attempts to reconnect with 20-year-old son Keith, a talented but troubled young man, played by rising star Bentley Green (Heist 88), who has followed his mother’s footsteps into the boxing ring.

When Keith finds himself alone in his corner, because of his gambling-addicted trainer, he is forced to turn to his mother. Determined to right past wrongs, she embarks on a mission to train her son for glory in a World Championship title fight.

They are joined in the cast by William Stanford Davis (Abbott Elementary), Xavier Mills, Estella Kahiha, Berto Colon and Puerto Rican star Roselyn Sanchez.

Undercard marks the sixth production in two years for Catalyst Studios.

It is directed by Tamika Miller and co-written by Miller and Anita M. Cal.

The movie is billed as following in the tradition of Raging Bull, Million Dollar Baby and Creed, but with the story told through the eyes of the trainer.

“It is about the struggle and survival of the human spirit. Getting up when life does its best to knock you down. This powerful, moving story is a metaphor for our own challenges. And it shows Wanda like we have never seen her before,” said Catalyst Studios Chairperson Holly Anderson Levow.

“I’m thrilled to have this amazing cast bring Undercard to life, with Wanda leading the way in what I know will be a breathtaking performance,” said Miller.

Veteran producer Anne Clements along with local producers Frances Lausell and Andres Ramirez are overseeing production in Puerto Rico. Kim Coleman is Co-Producer. Sykes also serves as an executive producer.

The season of the very first sign of the zodiac is here, and that’s exactly why being a leader comes so easy for Aries folks.

And that’s no joke, Aries really don’t know what else to be but a boss, CEO or innovator, because they’d rather play by their own rules. They march to the beat of their own drum and rarely ever need anyone to play backup instrumentals. Their charm, playful personality and great sense of humor make up for their impulsiveness and sometimes hot-temper, and there’s absolutely no other sign who will keep it all the way real with you like an Aries does, even if it’s something you don’t want to hear. They tell it like it is, as dishonesty goes against their entire m.o.

Devious Maids season 5 was canceled due to declining ratings but left fans with a massive cliffhanger involving Marisol's disappearance. Despite no news of a revival, the cast members have continued to work consistently in various television and film projects after the series ended. Could Devious Maids ever be revived? With most actors aging out of their roles, the chances seem unlikely without commitments from the cast members.

Devious Maids season 5 never aired because the show was canceled right after season 4, but devoted fans have always been interested in seeing the series renewed. Premiering in June 2013 on Lifetime but produced by ABC, the four seasons of Devious Maids follow the lives of four Latina maids working in Beverly Hills, California. Their clients are the richest and most powerful families in the town. As maids, they become privy to and keepers of secrets for the families, and are exposed to the...

Pop star Rita Ora and Marvel director Taika Waititi first met in 2018 but didn’t spark romance rumors until 2021 before making their official debut as a couple. One year later, they tied the knot during a private ceremony in Los Angeles.

Ora opened up about their relationship in an interview with Vogue saying: “We met in LA and it was through friends and it was amazing. It was very casual … It was just a natural thing. We were both in Australia doing two separate jobs … and we kind of hung out and that was it. We went to a friend’s birthday party, and it all clicked.”

Now fans have some other questions about the pair including how much younger the singer is than her husband and who has the higher net worth.

Actors Eric Winter and Roselyn Sanchez met nearly two decades ago and today are parents to two children. They also work together on several projects whether it’s onscreen or hosting their weekly podcast titled He Said, Ella Dijo (She Said).

Here’s more about the celebrity couple including how they met and what The Rookie star was “petrified” Sanchez would do after he asked her to marry him.

Winter and Sanchez met back in 2005 at a party in Los Angeles. At the time, the Without a Trace star had been divorced from her first husband Gary Stretch for three years, and the Days of Our Lives alum had split from his first wife, Allison Ford, a few months earlier.

The Rookie star Eric Winter and Roselyn Sanchez have been married for 15 years and together for nearly 20. They share two children and speak often of the lasting happiness of their relationship. Still, Winter worried their marriage was going to get off to a rocky start. He was so concerned about Sanchez losing the ring that he wouldn’t let her put it on at first.

Rush Hour 2 follows Lee and Carter as they travel from Los Angeles to Hong Kong for a much-needed vacation. However, their plans take an unexpected turn when they find themselves embroiled in an international counterfeit money operation led by a ruthless gangster named Ricky Tan.

In 2012, Eva Longoria wrapped up the eighth and final season of Desperate Housewives, and she had a decision to make about her future. “That last year of Housewives,” she says, “I remember getting every single show offered to me to star in … to star in … to star in …”

Amid the throes of the streaming era, it’s easy to forget the omnipresence of a network breakout like Housewives. In its first season in 2004, Housewives was pulling in more viewers on Sunday nights than the average Sunday Night Football game does in 2023. The show — along with early-aughts entries Grey’s Anatomy and Lost — helped catapult network ABC back to primetime dominance. Bob Iger, who was named CEO of ABC parent company Disney in the year after Housewives’ debut, “would take us to dinner, individually,” remembers Longoria. (By its last season, Housewives’ prominence had waned — its May 2012 series finale clocked in with half...

Because many viewers feel frustrated when their viewing habits and opinions aren't considered, we invite you to rate all of the second season episodes of Fantasy Island here. *Status Update Below.

While Fantasy Island didn't generate big ratings in its first season, the reboot did pick up 60-75% more viewers in the live+7 day ratings. The Fox network's studio also co-produces the show and that means Fantasy Island generates some extra revenue for the company, which is important these days.

Liz Craft and Sarah Fain have been working and writing together since they were fifteen. In television, they have partnered as writers and producers on several major network shows like The Fix, Lie To Me, and Dollhouse.

They are the dynamic duo behind the Fox hit revival of Fantasy Island, which has just finished its second season with an emotional and satisfying finale.

Speaking with TV Fanatic over Zoom (Days before the unfortunate news of the show's cancellation), the pair are as in sync discussing their show as they are in producing the whimsical yet thought-provoking series.

While the Fantasy Island IP has undergone a couple of revivals/reboots since the original series concluded in 1984, this is the first that truly builds on the legacy of Ricardo Montalban and his wish-granting domain.

One of broadcast TV's best shows is over, and this one hurts.

Fox announced late Tuesday that it had canceled Fantasy Island.

The news broke less than 24 hours after the Fantasy Island Season 2 finale.

Fantasy Island averaged 2.8 million viewers and a 0.3 rating in its final season with Live + 7 playback included.

The numbers were very soft for Fox, but the fact that the show had a small group of series regulars meant there was a chance the show could survive.

Fox has opted not to renew drama series “Fantasy Island” for a third season, the network announced on Tuesday, one day after airing its second season finale.

It’s the same strategy they took with the Mayim Bialik-led sitcom “Call Me Kat,” after its third season finale failed to draw sufficient numbers. The last episode of “Fantasy Island,” titled “Mj Akuda & The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Wives Club,” earned 1.8 million viewers and a 0.2 rating in the demo.

“We were very pleased with ‘Fantasy Island’s’ fun and escapist creative, which we had hoped would gain strong traction among viewers,” the network said in a statement shared with TheWrap. “Sony Pictures Television is an important partner of ours, and we look forward to continuing to work with them on ‘Accused,’ ‘Alert: Missing Persons Unit,’ ‘Doc’ and the upcoming animated series ‘Universal Basic Guys/Hoagie Bros.'”

Fox won’t be making any more trips to Fantasy Island.

The network has canceled its drama series after two seasons and 23 episodes. The end for the series comes a day after its second-season finale aired.

Created and run by Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain, Fantasy Island is a sequel to and update of the 1977-84 ABC series that starred Ricardo Montalban. Roselyn Sánchez stars as Elena Roarke, a descendant of Montalban’s character who runs a resort that offers to fulfill its guests’ dreams and desires. Kiara Barnes and John Gabriel Rodriquez also star.

The series, a co-production of Sony Pictures Television and Fox Entertainment, premiered in summer 2021 and drew a relatively modest audience — though large enough that, combined with the show’s relatively low cost compared to other hour-long dramas, earned it a second season. Season two averaged 2.74 million viewers and a 0.27 rating among adults 18-49 after seven...

Warning: Spoilers for the season 2 finale of Fantasy Island.Another season of Fox's Fantasy Island reboot has come to a close and is currently waiting on a renewal announcement from the network. Although the fate of the series remains unknown, the season 2 finale wrapped up several ongoing plot lines and ended on a high note. Ruby regained her memory and reunited with her daughter, Elena and Javier exchanged "I love yous," and the three women who came to the island for revenge left with a sense of peace.

Despite the closure the finale provided, there are still plenty of stories to be told about Roarke and her guests at the magical resort. Liz Craft and Sarah Fain serve as co-showrunners and executive producers of the series and have worked on several projects together such as The Vampire Diaries, The Fix, and The 100. Fantasy Island stars Roselyn Sánchez as Elena,...

The magic is turned up to eleven on Fantasy Island Season 2 Episode 13, with Elena bringing in Ruby's daughter to combat Isla's mermaid-siren song and a trio of guests wielding a spellbound poppet.

We've never seen Isla frightened before, but Mj's presence on the Island puts her fins in a twist as she senses Ruby's enthrallment may not hold up against a mother's love.

Meanwhile, the trio of Gavin Beck's wives, past and present, prove formidable in their vengeance.

Classic mythology and literature are rife with trios of powerful female figures.

Greek mythology has the Fates, Furies, and Graces. Hinduism, the Tridevi. Shakespeare's Macbeth, the Witches.

Gavin Beck didn't have a chance.

Granted, the Beck Wives come at their collective fantasy with some wrongheadedness.

Sue: Our fantasy is to get revenge on our husband.

Jenna: We want him to feel as awful as he made us feel.

Brooklyn: We want him to hurt.

Screen Rant is pleased to present an exclusive clip from Gringa, which releases on April 21 in select theaters and On Demand. The Gravitas Releasing film centers on a high school teenager named Marge Bickford who is already dealing with a case of unpopularity when she tragically loses her mother. Despite barely knowing her father, she heads down to Mexico in order to live with him — and comes to find that he may need her as much as she needs him.

Gringa stars Jess Gabor (who played Kelly Keefe in Shameless) with White Lotus' Steve Zahn as her father, Jackson. Their burgeoning family bond is at the heart of the film, but they are buoyed by a number of heartwarming performances. The ensemble cast includes Judy Greer as Marge's mother, Roselyn Sanchez as Elsa, Vantina Buzzurro Azusana, and more.

Not happening,'” Sanchez said on the “He Said, Ella Dijo” podcast before she and Winter detailed what was said.
