Interview: Adam Devine of “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates”

Final Episode of “Royal Pains”
I have really enjoyed "Royal Pains," and it is bittersweet to see it come to an end tomorrow, July 6, 2016. Mark Feuerstein plays the "concierge doctor" helping patients, mostly very wealthy ones, in the gorgeous Hamptons. The sumptuous, sun-drenched settings added a lot of interest to the story of doctor Hank Lawson, his enterprising brother Evan (Paulo Costanzo), their physician's assistant Divya (Reshma Shetty). The series blended long-term...

"Juno" stars Ellen Page and Allison Janney re-team in "Tallulah," written and directed by Sian Heder (Orange is the New Black).

Watch a Hit Broadway Musical on Your Laptop!
One of the biggest hits on Broadway is the delightful musical "She Loves Me," based on the same story that inspired "The Shop Around the Corner," the Judy Garland musical, "In the Good Old Summertime," and "You've Got Mail." It's the story of co-workers in a shop who think they do not like each other -- until they find out that they are in love via anonymous letters.
The award-winning Broadway production, with songs by the "Fiddler on the Roof" team of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, was...
