The whole thing started with a segment on rechargeable lightbulbs — then it devolved into a middle school masturbation joke. The local news team at Buffalo’s Wgrz simply needed a segue from a report on energy waste to the weather. Here’s what anchorman John Beard came up with: “Speaking of do-it-yourself, that’s your kind of thing, Maria,” he said to his weathercaster, “You like doing it yourself.” Maria Genero laughed, wished everyone a “Good morning” and then admitted this: “Sometimes, yeah.” Also Read: Watch TV Reporter Get Puked on While Covering Beer-Based Ironman Competition (Video) “I’m here...

Sony Pictures Classics has released the official trailer and poster for director Nicholas Hytner’s brilliant The Lady In The Van.
Maggie Smith gives the best performance of 2015 and her career.
Alan Bennett’s story is based on the true story of Miss Shepherd (played by a magnificent Maggie Smith), a woman of uncertain origins who “temporarily” parked her van in Bennett’s London driveway and proceeded to live there for 15 years. What begins as a begrudged favor becomes a relationship that will change both their lives.
Filmed on the street and in the house where Bennett and Miss Shepherd lived all those years, Hytner reunites with iconic writer Alan Bennett (The Madness of King George, The History Boys) to bring this rare and touching portrait to the screen.
Produced by Kevin Loader, Nicholas Hytner and Damian Jones, The Lady In The Van also stars Alex Jennings as Alan Bennett.

When we look back on all of the great American Presidents of the past, one can’t help but wonder about their lives and what they are really like behind their exterior. What lessons did they learn that would make them capable of leading a nation? What if we could see those moments that would inform the kind of President they would become? What if we could watch their life happen with the hindsight of...

Five years ago, Carlos Amezcua took Los Angeles media circles by surprise with his move to Kttv to co-anchor the station’s 10 Pm newscast after a 14-year stint on the morning show of rival Ktla, which he helped launch in 1991. Now Amezcua is out at Kttv. His departure was announced in the newsroom at 3:15 Pm this afternoon. Amezcua’s final day was last Friday after making his debut on the station on September 17, 2007. There is no immediate replacement, and a spokesperson confirmed an external and internal search is underway. In 2007, Amezcua replaced longtime Kttv anchor John Beard whose contract was not renewed after a 14-year stint at the station. At the time, Kttv and general manager Kevin Hale went aggressively after Amezcua, offering him a rich long-term contract that also included a producing component with Kttv parent Fox. “After more than five years on Kttv’s Fox 11 10 p.m.

We took a proverbial magnifying glass to episodes one and two. And then we carefully scoured episodes three and four. We're exhausted, and we blame Mitch Hurwitz completely; following his "Don't binge-watch" suggestion is making us go completely insane. But after another week of painstaking work, we deliver to you a basketful of Easter eggs from episodes five and six. Did you catch all of these? Did we miss anything? Let us know below!Episode 5, "A New Start" Again, without the closed-captioning, there are some things you will probably miss. Aside from hosting episode one's Good News O.C., former real-life news anchor John Beard is also the host of John Beard's To Entrap a Local Predator: Orange County Edition: Super Creeps. This is an obvious allusion to the memorable Dateline NBC segment To Catch a Predator, hosted by Chris Hansen, which scared every parent into deleting AOL from their kids' computers.

Not too long ago, Cinematical had a chance to travel to London to visit the set of Inkheart over at Shepperton Studios where stars Brendan Fraser, Paul Bettany, Helen Mirren, Eliza Bennett and Andy Serkis were filming a crucial scene in the film -- one that involved fire, magic, a non-cgi'd Serkis and strange-looking evil men. But we'll come back to that in a little bit. Shepperton Studios is made up of several buildings, and unlike the set of The Golden Compass (which we visited the day before), there wasn't much green screen to be found on this flick. Instead, the Inkheart sets were big, bold and quite beautiful -- one of which felt as if you were walking straight onto a village street, with shops and cobblestones and realistic rooftops.
On the side of this set stood the interior of a medieval-looking cathedral, which runs up about two stories...
