Instead of making the show about gimmicky surprises for ratings' sake, showrunner Dan Fogelman unravels a narrative that captures the ebbs and flows of real life. We can all relate to the Pearsons on […]

If you want a sense of just how important This Is Us to both NBC's short-term and long-term programming future, look no further than the three-season renewal the network announced on Sunday, which will take the hit series through a sixth season. While the show's future was never in any way in doubt from a […]

It's been a while since we've heard anything concrete about plans for a 5th installment of the Indiana Jones franchise, but, there could be reason for that.

NBC's This Is Us' bittersweet finale "Her" offered some relief while hinting at the painful challenges the Pearsons will face in the future.

I knew NBC's This Is Us' season finale was approaching, but I didn't realize "R & B" would be the penultimate episode. So much is left up in the air. This installment focuses on Randall (Sterling K.

I still can't breathe after the latest episode of NBC's This Is Us! Hot damn – it was so intense. Kate (Chrissy Metz) and her baby's lives are on the line. Updates are scarce, but the family beef is plenty. Pearsons start airing all kinds of dirty laundry. "The Waiting Room" is the worst place […]

NBC's This Is Us takes a break from "The Big Three" and reveals how Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) became the smart, strong and sensational woman we've come to love and respect.

One thing you can count on with NBC's This Is Us: Jack Pearson (Milo Ventimiglia) is wonderful even when he's in a bad place. As the Big Three get to know their Uncle Nicky (Griffin Dunne), in "Songbird Road: Part Two" we see how Jack's last visit with him takes a toll. In the past […]

The Neighbours decide to give Bay his shot at acting.

Also featuring Kathy Najimy and Miriam Margolyes and all that good stuff.

He has an ulterior motive.

Universal are talking to some unexpected writers - but not Ellis, and he's not happy about it.

The latest pitch by superb screenwriter Dan Fogelman has just been sold to Warner Bros. for a seven figure sum. The film, which has yet to even have its screenplay completed, will tell the story of a disgraced politician, down on his uppers and headed home to try and sort his life out. It sounds […]

The next film from Bad Santa scribes and I Love You Phillip Morris directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra will be Crazy, Stupid Love, a 'dating divorcee' comedy with a sharper-than-the-average streak. This time round, Requa and Ficarra didn't write, but inherited a very strong script by Dan Fogelman. Fogelman's writing strikes me as being […]
