The feel-good trailer for upcoming British production, Finding Your Feet starring Imelda Staunton, proves there is still life to be lived in your Golden Years.

Teaming up a cast of Imelda Staunton, Celia Imrie, Timothy Spall, Joanna Lumley, John Sessions, Josie Lawrence and David Hayman, director Richard Loncraine has brought together the cream of veteran wholesome comedy project that oozes grand old British values in Finding Your Feet.

The trailer focuses on the middle-class Sandra (Staunton) as she forces herself on her sister Bif (Imrie), who lives on a council estate, in an attempt to start her life over after she discovers her husband’s betrayal in having an affair with her best friend. Almost strangers as sisters, the pair are given the opportunity to get to know each other again via geriatric dance classes, dating and travel. It’s a tale of self-discovery and learning to...

Continuing its dive into originals, Acorn Media Enterprises has partnered with All3Media International and the BBC as the North American co-producer on period drama Close To The Enemy. Jim Sturgess, Alfie Allen, Alfred Molina, Angela Bassett and Freddie Highmore star in the seven-part series from Stephen Poliakoff (Perfect Strangers, Dancing On The Edge). Coinciding with the BBC broadcast, the drama will make its U.S. debut on streaming service Acorn TV in…...

He has unparalleled creative freedom within the BBC. But, as Stephen Poliakoff's latest lavish drama reaches our screens, what does he make of his reputation for being a control freak?

'I'm quite sure," Stephen Poliakoff giggles, "there are people within the BBC who run down the corridors blocking their ears when they see me coming." His reputation certainly precedes him – a great galloping colossus of media folklore, variously casting the writer as a genius, control freak, force of nature or diva, sometimes all at the same time. Descriptions of his appearance err towards cartoonish caricature – dishevelled, wild-haired, fidgety, like a mad professor who has accidentally electrocuted himself – only adding to the mythology of a wild man of letters. But to everyone about to fall in love with his latest drama, Poliakoff may well soon be at real risk of becoming a national treasure.

The Devil Inside wants to wish you a very scary Christmas! The Devil Inside has elements that remind me of The Last Exorcism and I can't wait to see this film. In fact I like exorcism type movies a lot , something about them really freaks me out. I'm sure it has something to do with the religious practices and rituals shown in these types of films.

The Devil Inside is directed by William Brent Bell (Stay Alive) and stars Fernanda Andrade (Fallen), Simon Quarterman (Perfect Strangers) and Evan Helmuth. Today we have the red band trailer for The Devil Inside. I don't know about you but exorcism movies freak me out, this is partially due to growing up around religion and how odd it seemed and from watching the Exorcist. In the clip we learn about baptism and the importance of baptizing your baby before it dies. The Devil Inside will be in theaters January 6, 2012.

We have a new photo from Insure Pictures and Paramount Pictures in what looks like a night vision camera shot of a possessed girl. The Devil Inside reminds me of "The Last Exorcism" especially the girls contortions. Rumor has it that production had just ended for The Devil Inside when The Last Exorcism was showing in theaters. I guess they don't want anyone to think that they were copying anyone.

Today the folks over at Paramount added a new viral video to the official The Devil Inside website. Unfortunately we can not embed the video so you will have to go here to see it. Make sure to watch until the video stops completely to see the entire trailer. The Devil Inside in a new exorcism movie and if they movie can live up to the trailers it should be scary.

The trailer starts off with the over used "This is an actual", this times it's a 911 call placed by Maria Rossi on the day before Halloween October 30, 1989.

A striking stage presence for more than 60 years and a familiar face on TV

Sheila Burrell, who has died aged 89 after a long illness, was a cousin of Laurence Olivier, and a similarly distinctive and fiery actor with a broad, open face, high cheekbones and expressive eyes. She stood at only 5ft 5ins but could fill the widest stage and hold the largest audience. Her voice was a mezzo marvel, kittenish or growling and, in later life, acquired the viscosity and vintage of an old ruby port, matured after years of experience.

In a career spanning more than 60 years, she made her name as a wild, red-headed Barbara Allen (subject of the famous ballad) in Peter Brook's 1949 production of Dark of the Moon (Ambassadors theatre), an American pot-boiler about the seduction of a lusty girl by a witch boy and the hysterical reaction of her local community.

The role remained one of her favourites,...

Paramount Insurge, the new division set up to develop micro-budget films after Paranormal Activity’s success, has acquired an as-yet-untitled murder mystery film for worldwide distribution.

William Brent Bell (Stay Alive) is attached to direct, while Fernanda Andrade (Fallen), Simon Quarterman (Perfect Strangers), Evan Helmuth (Ready or Not) and Suzan Crowley (Christabel) will star.

A young woman is accused in the mysterious murders of three religious figures.

Production is expected to commence imminently.

The weekend’s here. You’ve just been paid, and it’s burning a hole in your pocket. What’s a pop culture geek to do?

You wouldn’t think a comedy like Caddyshack (Warner Bros., Rated R, Blu-Ray-$24.98 Srp) would benefit so much from high definition, but the new Blu-Ray benefits from a crystal clear picture that looks better than it ever has previously. To add even more incentive, there’s a new feature-length 30th anniversary documentary featuring most of the principals (sans Bill Murray and Chevy Chase) reminiscing, as well...

In 1989, ABC premiered the Perfect Strangers spin-off Family Matters, which featured a relatively unknown cast. Although the series focused on a middle-class African American family in Chicago, the breakout star was the Winslows' annoyingly dorky neighbor, Steve Urkel. Twenty years later, Jaleel White, who played Urkel, still looks back at the show that catapulted him into stardom with fond memories and says that, yes, people still ask him to do the famous "Urkel" voice. The 33-year-old spoke to TVGuide.com about his favorite memories from his nine seasons on the show, the first season of which is in stores on DVD Tuesday.

TVGuide.com: What was it like working on Family Matters?

Jaleel White: It was an amazing experience. I learned physical comedy to a degree that most child actors never will. I really just became a student of it — became obsessed with it to be quite honest. I...

Besides being the best-dressed guest editor PopWatch has ever had, geek goddess Olivia Munn has made her name as the host of G4′s Attack of the Show. That might be about to change: she made her debut last week as The Daily Show’s new Senior Asian Correspondent (to the great dismay of Aasif Mandvi, who also claims to be Asian). That’s on top of some other items in Munn’s busy schedule: starring in NBC’s new comedy Perfect Strangers, co-writing the new book Suck it, Wonder Woman!, and leading a PETA-assisted revolt against Barnum and Bailey.

“It’s Friday night, and the mood is right! We’re gonna have some fun, show you how it’s done, Tgif!”

As far as my elementary-school-aged self was concerned, that song signaled that the weekend was officially upon us. It meant ABC’s Tgif lineup was about to start, and I needed to book it to the couch so I could bask in the glory of Cory Matthews, Sabrina Spellman, and, of course, Steve Urkel – or Stefan Urquelle, depending on who decided to show up.

Yes, every Friday night at 8 p.m. sharp, it was Tgif time not only in my house,...

We all have film sequences that stick in our minds. Some are shared by many – such as the shower scene from Psycho – others are particular to us. Here our film critic and a panel of leading movie-makers reveal their favourites. What are yours?

Who will ever forget the first time they saw the 45-second shower-room murder in Hitchcock's Psycho? I remember 1959 and 1961 as the years when my first two children were born. But the first thing that comes to mind about the year in between was seeing Psycho, which I'd been looking forward to since a radio programme I'd produced the previous October, when Hitchcock had enticingly described Psycho as "my first real horror film". Entering the Plaza, Lower Regent Street, the day the film opened, I passed the cardboard cut-out of Hitchcock in the foyer, from which a tape recording of the Master's familiar Leytonstone undertaker's voice warned us...

A&E is reportedly airing a very special episode of "Intervention," only it's going to guest-starring David Hasselhoff and running for an entire season. (Yeeeah!)

Speaking of celebrities who I'd actually like to get their own reality show -- Stains the Australian Shepherd made famous by "The Soup" has won DListed's Hot Slut of the Year Award. Congrats, Stains! (DListed)

Keri Russell finds something amusing. My best guess? Brendan's hairpiece and Harrison's jowls. (Agent Bedhead)

It's a new year and I thought I'd start 2010 off with what could be the weirdest Weird Web Wednesdays ever. I've managed to gather some classic stuff over the last little while (along with some great suggestions from others) and figured it was time to throw it all up for your enjoyment. To start off, we've got one of my favourite videos of the decade, Grandmas Riding a Roller Coaster; a dark reminder that if you aren't living fast, you're dying slow. We've also got Shane singing five octaves on the piano, followed up by the even more hilarious auto-tune version. Finally, some Wheel of Fortune bloopers and a heart warming video tribute to John Campea of The Movie Blog. It's all weird, it's all web and it's All Definitely Wednesday!!

I've always wanted to redo the opening of a TV show, though I can never really make up my mind which one it would be. Laverne and Shirley? Or how about T.J. Hooker? I think I could do Adrian Zmed's roll on the car hood.

This Pop Candy reader and his friend did the opening of Perfect Strangers, filming it in their city of Seattle instead of Chicago. The original is after the jump.

One of the great topics of TV discussion is the "which spinoffs are better than the original shows?" discussion. Are there actually TV show spinoffs that are better than the shows that spawned them?

Woman's Day named their ten picks. I agree that Knot's Landing is better than Dallas and NCIS is probably better than Jag. Not sure if I agree with Family Matters being a better show than Perfect Strangers. Frasier better than Cheers? Hmm, probably not. Also: is Family Feud really a spinoff of Match Game just because both starred Richard Dawson? I guess it could be, I've just never heard that piece of information before.

I'd pick The Andy Griffith Show (from The Danny Thomas Show). Of course, we could talk about this endlessly (though not as endlessly as we could talk about spinoffs that are worse than the show that spawned them). What are your picks?...

There is something to be said about the unifying power of sports. Perfect strangers chant in harmony and share in the excitement of competition, celebrating each win as a team and lamenting the losses as a unit. There is nothing quite like witnessing your team claim a deserved victory after a roller coaster ride of support spanning months, years, and sometimes decades.

It is this positive energy director Clint Eastwood hoped to harness in Invictus, a story of how the newly-elected Nelson Mandela believed in the cohesive capabilities of national sport and publicly cheered for the South African Springbok’s in the Rugby World Cup, against the recommendations of his advisers.

Aside from a nuanced performance by Morgan Freeman as Mandela and the solid turn by Matt Damon as team captain Francois Pienaar, the film is a banal, often dull, re-telling of select events. Eastwood glosses over the country’s...

'What really buys you freedom is being successful. So long as you deliver, they leave you alone'

For someone best known for Shooting the Past, a television drama apparently so slow and un-televisual that BBC executives begged him to speed it up, Stephen Poliakoff is a very fast talker. Sentences tumble into one another, thoughts jerkily digress, regroup and change their angle of attack. Ideas flit in and out of focus as all the while a plastic drinking straw is furiously twiddled between his fingers. Outlining details of his latest venture, Glorious 39, his first feature film for 12 years, Poliakoff makes glancing references to George W Bush, Bulldog Drummond, the history of the wire tap and Norfolk's evergreen oaks in expressing his fascination and horror at the aristocratic and establishment appeasers who, in the run-up to the second world war, mounted a desperate last effort to do a deal with...

The High School Musical 3 soundtrack. Wow. How do I begin with this one? I remember a time when Disney made films that really didn’t patronize their audience. They were making films that the whole family could go see together. They had staying power. When they were re-released twenty or thirty years later, they still held up. I understand that “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” is meant for Middle School kids (because lets face it, if you’re in High School, would you watch this? Maybe you would, I don’t know) but that still doesn’t diminish the fact that these are some of the tritest, self centered, clichéd teen drivel songs ever to be sung by human beings.

I swear to God, (I’m beginning to question his existence after listening to this) every song could easily be the theme song to any 80’s/90’s sitcom. Actually,...
