Alex Caulfield’s Sins in the Family revolves around Zara (Moniqua Plante), who, like any other, is a middle-aged housewife who divides her hours between tending to her house chores and caring for her husband, Max (Jay Hindle), and daughter, Rose (Natalie Sharp). Like any other teenager, Rose saw her mom as an overprotective person who always wanted to know where she was and who she was with. Zara also had a cool side, as we saw her winning prizes in a fairground target shooting game at the start of the film. However, before we get into the story, there’s one small detail that you may want to know. Rose wasn’t Zara’s biological child, but she adopted her when she was little.

Thus, Rose was obsessed with finding her birth parents and often brought up the subject. However, Zara told her that she just doesn’t have any information about them.

E! on Friday confirmed its plans to release the rom-coms Arranged Love, Ms. Match and Platonic this summer. Specific dates weren’t disclosed, though you can now view a teaser for all three films above.

Arranged Love centers on Meera, who after fleeing an arranged marriage as a young woman, leaving India and her inheritance behind, has made a name for herself in the tech world and now runs her own startup. When a costly problem threatens her company, however, marriage is exactly what she needs to solve it. In order to collect her inheritance in India, Meera comes up with a plan to inform her family she is, in fact, married – to the handsome Rama she met only moments ago – and returns home with him to sign the paperwork. As they keep up the ruse, Meera and Rama find themselves developing genuine chemistry, but this new arrangement brings yet another surprise.

Exclusive: E! has set full casts and begun production on its first two original rom-com movies Why Can’t I Be Molly Ringwald? (working title) and Dating Wise (wt). Em Haine (Reginald The Vampire) is set to lead the cast of Why Can’t I Be Molly Ringwald? (working title), and Anja Savcic (Loudermilk) stars in Dating Wisdom (wt). The movies are part of E!’s recent push into original scripted romantic comedies intended to bolster its “pop culture-centric” lineup.

Why Can’t I Be Molly Ringwald? centers on Eliza Sloane, played by Haine, who seemed to be living her dream life until her boyfriend broke her heart and she didn’t get an expected promotion, hence a move to the Hamptons for a new start. Cast also includes Aren Buchholz, Wern Lee, Cecelia Deacon, Markian Tarasiuk and Roraigh Falkner.

Dating Wisdom (wt) stars Savcic as aspiring writer Athena Carter,...

The CW has released an extended look at next week’s brand new episode of iZombie, “Cape Town,” which will serve as the mid-season finale. This one should make for an interesting viewing not only because it will likely feature all of the edge-of-your-seat moments that you would expect from a mid-season finale, but also because the only currently running TV show based on a DC Entertainment property that does not feature superheroes will dabble in that genre.

You see, Liv and the gang will investigate the murder of a vigilante named Chris Allred (a nod to iZombie comic book creators Chris Roberson and Michael Allred), who has adopted the moniker “The Fog.” If you guessed that Liv feels the need to be a superhero upon consuming his brain, then you guessed correctly.

Her costume is somewhat reminiscent of Hit Girl of Kick-Ass fame and has seemingly benefited from being...

Justice Rolls In — Liv (Rose McIver), Detective Babineaux (Malcolm Goodwin) and Ravi (Rahul Kohli) work together in solving the murder of Chris Allred (guest star Jay Hindle), who was a high school shop teacher by day, and a vigilante crime-fighter named “The Fog” by night. Liv gets into trouble while on superhero brains and becomes a little too much for Clive to handle. Meanwhile, Major (Robert Buckley) has an eye opening conversation with a new friend. Lastly, Blaine (David Anders) forces Liv to do the unthinkable. Mairzee Almas directed the episode written by Diane Ruggiero-Wright (#209). iZOMBIE continues with more brainy adventures! From the executive producers of Veronica Mars, the series stars Rose McIver (Power Rangers R.P.M.) as Olivia “Liv” Moore, a medical resident on the fast track to a perfect life … until she’s turned into a zombie. But Liv finds her calling — and an endless supply of food...

This one is called simply, I Am, and it seems to be picking up where Morgan Freeman left off; specifically a black actor playing what, for all intents and purposes, appears to be God… the big guy upstairs (or the idea of God, or a God-like character anyway).

The synopsis reads: A desperate heiress… A beautiful reporter… A vengeful detective… A charismatic district attorney…. In modern-day Los Angeles, all of their lives will intersect, leading to profound choices that test each character’s morality. With guidance from a mysterious stranger, these lost souls desperately search for answers.

It’s obviously aimed at the religious crowd (a group I’m not a member of, but maybe you are), with its direct-to-church release strategy, courtesy of 20th Century Fox. That’s right, I said direct-to-church. This month, 20th Century Fox is collaborating with churches literally all over the...
