Bleecker Street Picks Up U.S. Rights To ‘Waitress: The Musical’; Sets December 7 Nationwide Release

Coronation Street fans have found themselves sharing the same complaint about Daisy Midgeley as she comforted Ryan Connor following the exposé of his saucy videos.

Coronation Street has asked fans if they're 'brave enough' as they have given fans an epic opportunity that appears to signal the end of Stephen Reid.

Brent Lang Executive Editor Elysian Film Group, Anonymous Content and Bleecker Street have jointly acquired the U.K. rights to “The Boy and the Heron,” the first film from legendary animator Hayao Miyazaki in a decade. Elysian Film Group will release the film in U.K.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Lyrics that include the words “dick,” “fuck” and “pussy” are not the typical wholesome, family content the Academy’s Music Branch tends to recognize.

Flesh-eating sewer monsters, genitals with wings, grave robbing, two confused “identical twins” and 90 minutes of sexual innuendo is what you can expect from comedians Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp’s stage show-turned-movie.

As a viewer, I often wondered how the hell this got turned into the movie because it is so outrageous. Thankfully, it succeeds at being fun and funny because anything less would have amounted to torture.
