LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Could the next "House of Cards" be coming to your phone? That's what Verizon hopes now that it's paid more than $100 million for a piece of the online-video studio AwesomenessTV. It's the latest attempt by a maturing, mainstream corporation to find growth in non-traditional video programming that can reach younger audiences on smartphones and tablets. In 2014, for instance, Disney acquired online-video producer Maker Studios for a tab that eventually hit $625 million. An AT&T joint venture...

Read more, comment Richard Linklater Hearkens Back To 1980 in "Everybody Wants Some!!"By Lindsey Bahr, Film Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Director Richard Linklater remembers the year 1980 as a breezy, fun and raunchy time. It was also the end of an era - the last gasp of the "utter hedonistic abandonment" of the 1970s before the conservative cultural backlash of the new decade was to take hold. But the college freshman of his latest film "Everybody Wants Some!!" didn't know that. The draft was long over. "Just Say No" hadn't yet been introduced. In the fall of 1980 at a small Texas college, everything was still a party -...

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) -- Standing on "The Tonight Show" stage with his trumpet in hand, Don Cheadle wondered to himself why he agreed to this. What was he thinking when he said he'd perform with the show's Grammy-winning house band, The Roots? Nerves threatened to rumple his perfectly tailored suit. Cheadle had been diligently studying the trumpet to play Miles Davis in his new biopic, "Miles Ahead." He spent a decade mired in Davis as he developed, produced, co-wrote and eventually directed and starred in the film...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Tom Staggs, the presumed front-runner to replace Bob Iger as CEO of The Walt Disney Co., is leaving the company next month. The surprise announcement Monday means Disney will have to look further for Iger's successor after he steps down in June 2018, a date the popular chief executive has extended twice. Staggs, a 26-year Disney veteran and its chief operating officer, had been assumed to be on track for the top job after the next leading candidate, Jay Rasulo, resigned last June as chief... Read more, comment Review: Director Jean-Marc Vallée's "Demolition"By Lindsey Bahr, Film Writer
What if a young man who just lost his young wife in a car accident experienced none of the stages of grief? What if he felt nothing? What if he, instead, started writing letters to a vending machine company and dismantling every object in sight? Perhaps that's just a person coasting in denial, but, to buy that, you would have to believe that the person also had some sort of humanity in the first place. In the case of Davis Mitchell (Jake Gyllenhaal) in director Jean-Marc Vallée's ambitious,...

NEW YORK (AP) -- It's the world's oldest profession. It's very popular with amateurs. With or without money changing hands, sex reigns as a transaction that stimulates no end of longing, curiosity and obsession. No wonder "The Girlfriend Experience" should seduce viewers with this business of companionship between a high-end female escort and her satisfied clients. A dramatic series of 13 half-hours premiering on Starz with two episodes Sunday at 8 p.m. EDT, "The Girlfriend Experience" comes from producer... Read more, comment Tyler Perry's Creative Reach Spans Features, 4 OWN Shows, Atlanta StudioBy Nekesa Mumbi Moody, Entertainment Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- When Tyler Perry began creating shows for the then-struggling OWN Network four years ago, he'd send the scripts he'd written to Oprah Winfrey for approval - and she'd wince. "I would say, 'I think that's too much! It's over the top! Oh my God, I can't believe this is happening!'" Winfrey recounts about Perry's first OWN show, "The Haves and Have Nots," a prime-time drama fueled by connivers, sex and blackmail, now in its fourth season. Others might have acquiesced to Winfrey. But not Perry. "He...

By Philip Marcelo
CHELSEA, Mass. (AP) -- Patrick O'Brien was a young, budding New York City filmmaker and DJ known as "TransFatty" when his legs suddenly started trembling uncontrollably. Walking became a struggle. He'd lose his balance and often fall down. Then, in 2005, came the diagnosis: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS. The 30-year-old native of Kensington, Maryland, was given two to five years to live. But rather than let it defeat him, O'Brien - whose DJ name came from his love of junk food - turned the cameras on himself...

By David Bauder, Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- For much of his career, CNN's Anderson Cooper rarely talked publicly about being Gloria Vanderbilt's son. He wasn't ashamed. Cooper just didn't want the baggage, the assumption that his life was set because he was a descendant of Cornelius Vanderbilt, one of the world's richest business magnates of the 1800s. Since he has the last name of his father, actor Wyatt Cooper, it was easy to keep this quiet. All of that changes with "Nothing Left Unsaid," a documentary that premieres Saturday on HBO (...

NEW YORK (AP) -- A cliffhanger ending to its sixth season fascinated more than 14 million viewers of “The Walking Dead,” although AMC’s blockbuster hit continued to show some signs of erosion. During the final episode on Sunday, new villain Negan killed someone with a barbed wire bat he named Lucille. Viewers will have to wait until next season to find out who he killed, however. It was down from the 15.8 million who watched the fifth season finale on the night it aired, and didn’t approach the 17.3 million who...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Word of mouth might be kryptonite for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," which fell a steep 68 percent in its second weekend in theaters according to comScore estimates Sunday. The superhero pic earned an estimated $52.4 million over the weekend, easily besting the modest new openers like "God's Not Dead 2" and "Meet the Blacks." The Zack Snyder movie cost a reported $250 million to produce and around $150 million to market, and has earned an estimated $261.5 million to date. It's a critical... Read more, comment Top Spot of the Week: Grey for Good's Short For #ClearThePitch CampaignStarting out as what could well be a brand film for an athletic equipment/apparel company, this short features soccer balls from around the world. Then the action takes an unexpected and disturbing turn, revealing a boy with a missing limb. He asks us if we saw the bomb, adding that “I didn’t.” He then points out a cluster-bomblet which actually looks much like a ball. A message then appears on screen which reads: “Unexploded ordnance and mines kill or maim children just playing ball.” This...
