Jane Fonda Honored With The Coolidge Award for Excellence in Film

After a career spanning 1960 to the present, Jane Fonda may be entitled to be called an icon or Hollywood royalty. But when the two-time Oscar winner, author, heath and fitness entrepreneur, activist and humanitarian was in Boston recently to be feted by the independent, non-profit Coolidge Corner Theater, she was the opposite of regal.

Yes, Fonda dressed in elegant, bejeweled black and exuded a classy professionalism. But she engaged with audiences at a fundraising dinner and at

Check Out the Full-Length Trailer for Fuller House

The first full-length trailer for Netflix’s Fuller House is here, transporting us back to the ‘90s – an era that seems so much more sane, even if at the time it surely didn't.

Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber visited Ellen this morning and following a discussion with the talk show icon, shared an exclusive new clip. The trailer reunites most of the original Tanner clan (plus Kimmy Gibbler) and welcomes a few new faces (Kimmy’s daughter and DJ’s sons to mention but a few).

Whales in Space? New Star Wars Rebels Clip Says YES

In this new clip from the Star Wars Rebels episode “The Call,” your beloved Ghost crew, led by Ezra and Kanan, are in a part of deep space that Captain Ahab and Ishmael may have felt at home in ("Moby-Dick" reference, y'all)—if those aren't space whales, then honestly what could a space whale possibly be? 

For those of you not obsessed with "Moby-Dick," there's a reason Melville picked the sperm whale as his titular monster (aside from hearing the reports of the whaleship Essex,

February Party TV: From the Super Bowl to the Oscars

The month may be short, but February is the biggest month of the year for television gatherings.

Star Wars, The Revenant & Game of Thrones Shine at Visual Effects Society Awards

A bear, a dragon and a scavenger from Jakku walk into a bar. This start to a bad joke also functions as a decent (okay, not really) summation of the big winners at the 14th Annual VES Awards, the annual celebration that recognizes the real people behind the surreal, photoreal, and out-of-this-world visual effects that are such a huge part of the entertainment industry. The now infamous bear attack suffered by Hugh Glass (Leonadro DiCaprio) in The Revenant won the Outstanding Animated Performance in a Photoreal Feature.

He was Prince Charles in Stephen Frears’s 2006 movie The Queen with Helen Mirren and is playing The Duke of Windsor in Peter Morgan’s upcoming 10-episode series The Crown for Netflix — a role that just might make this longtime star of the British stage better known to audiences stateside.

Behold the Bleak Game of Thrones Season 6 Teasers

If you haven't watched BBC America series Luther, we recommend you put that on your watch list. The show stars a sensational Idris Elba as the titular detective, a near-genuis whose skill at solving crimes is almost undone by his violent passion. The show's a potent mixture of brains and brawn, which Elba carries with ease.
