Chicago Fire couple Dawson and Casey are doing things a little out of order: first came love, then came baby (in the baby carriage), and now comes… marriage?
VideosChicago Fire Premiere Sneak Peek: Will Gabby’s Worst Nightmare Come True?
Now that the on- and off-pair is “firmly together” and raising a foster child, “they’re both definitely interested” in making their new little family official, executive producer Michael Brandt tells TVLine. But it remains to be seen whether an upcoming visit from Dawson’s parents will push the twosome down the aisle, or send them running away from it.

Scott Elrod is checking in to Chicago Fire.
The actor, best known to Grey’s Anatomy viewers as Meredith’s army doctor of a love interest, has signed on for a multiple-episode arc with the NBC drama.
According to multiple outlets, Elrod will appear on Season 5 as “lifestyle” celebrity Travis Brenner.
That's... different.
Look for Elrod’s character to drop-dead gorgeous (sort of hard to avoid when this actor is playing with) and to have a million Instagram followers.
He and Severide will cross paths on a fire call, after which the rescue squad lieutenant will be tempted to join Brenner’s fast-paced inner circle.
It certainly sounds like a unique direction for the series to go in.
In addition to his Grey’s Anatomy role as Dr. William Thorpe, Elrod’s television resume includes stints on The Young and the Restless and Men in Trees.

Road trip! In this week’s Grey’s Anatomy, Meredith, Jackson, Callie, Bailey and Jo were recruited by a Col. Miller to visit Bauer Medical, a military hospital, and throw a Hail Mary pass to save the life of a veteran with a monster of a tumor.

Though Owen had forewarned the Grey Sloan docs to be on their best behavior, no one had given the same instruction to the patient’s regular oncologist, Major Will Thorpe (Scott Elrod, late of The Young and the Restless). Mind you, it was...

Director Peter Berg is not shy about letting the intentions of his latest film Lone Survivor be known. From the opening shots of real life Navy Seals undergoing intense physical and psychological training it is apparent Berg is using this to showcase the bravery of the men and women who volunteer to protect their country. Lone Survivor depicts the real life story of the botched ‘Operation Red Wings’ where four Navy Seals attempted to capture and kill a high ranking member of the Taliban.
This is certainly a story that needs to be told, and Berg does the story justice by crafting some of the most intense battle sequences since Black Hawk Down. You will feel the sharp sting of the hurtling bullets,...

In the realm of inspirational sports movies, Home Run doesn’t quite fit in. It doesn’t hinge on the underdog team winning a trophy but instead focuses on one disgraced sportsman overcoming addiction. It’s meant to be an uplifting and spiritual film (which it is), yet it does so without completely descending into Christian propaganda that makes similarly-minded films so heavy-handed (like October Baby).
Baseball super star Cory Brand (Scott Elrod) is a belligerent alcoholic. After getting mightily aggressive on the field, going so far as to minorly assault the batboy, he’s suspended from the team. His sassy manager Helene (Vivica A. Fox) does some damage control and sends him to a rehab program in his hometown and forces him to coach a little league team. One of the boys on that team, Tyler (Charles Henry Wyson), turns out to be his son via Cory’s high...

Moviefone's Top DVD of the Week:
"Much Ado About Nothing"
What's It About? Joss Whedon's ("The Avengers") modern retelling of the Shakespeare classic follows two couples with different takes on romance. Benedick (Alexis Denisof) and Beatrice (Amy Acker) are older and disdainful of their love, while the sweet young Claudio (Fran Kranz) and Hero (Jillian Morgese) are deeply absorbed by their love.
Why We're In: Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing" is a refreshing and charming take on the classic comedy for its unique blending of the Shakespearian dialogue with a contemporary setting and aesthetic. While it sticks to the original content and doesn't add anything wholly revolutionary, it's nonetheless an entertaining addition to the canon of Shakespeare film adaptations.

The first rule of any baseball movie is that the guys cast to star in it have to look like they can play. And in "Home Run," Scott Elrod had the build, the swagger and the sweet swing of a big leaguer. That makes him and this thin tale of 12-step redemption credible and watchable, if nothing else.
Elrod, a character actor who played a hunk hired to perform the fake film script in "Argo," here is a big-league slugger with alcohol problems and daddy issues.
The booze we can see in his everyday routine -- dumping out the soft drink, filling the cup with vodka. And the daddy problems we're shown in a prologue, when a young Cory Brand had to "be a man" and take fastballs from his drunken, abusive father.
It all blows up that day Cory's drunkenly called out after hitting what he thought was an inside-the-park home run.

Directed by: Justin Steele
Written by: Justin Steele, Alecc Bracero
Featuring: Brad Dourif, Jeremy Sumpter, Scott Elrod, Debbon Ayer
Labels are funny things. Just because something — say, a movie — can be categorized one way doesn't necessarily mean that's exactly what it is. As an example, I offer Death and Cremation, a 2010 film from director Justin Steele.
Judged on a simple synopsis, Death and Cremation is a thriller. Brad Dourif plays Stanley, a serial killer whose "day job" as a crematorium owner allows him the perfect way to facilitate his hobby. Into his life comes Jarod (Jeremy Sumpter), a bullied teenage misanthrope who looks like the lost member of Fall Out Boy and needs a job and a father figure. Jarod soon ingratiates himself with the reclusive serial killer, who recognizes the boy as a kindred spirit. When Jarod's bullies start disappearing, Jarod comes to suspect that Stanley is responsible. When...

The series, entitled Ocean Views, consists of two shorts produced on board Royal Caribbean's newest ship Allure of the Seas, with the aim of sharing "great cinematic stories, while highlighting the variety of cruising experiences one can enjoy with Royal Caribbean."

The debut of director Justin Steele, Death and Cremation is from a script by Alecc Bracero and Justin Steele, and stars Brad Dourif along with Jeremy Sumpter (Friday Night Lights), Scott Elrod, Debbon Ayer, Daniel Baldwin (Homicide: Life on the Street), and Staci Keenan (My Two Dads) in a story that takes place:
In a typical American suburb filled with middle-class morals, Stan (Dourif), a lonely 59-year-old, contributes to society by offering cremation services from his basement.

As middle-aged detective Matt Fairchild, in search of an exciting case, puts the clues of their killings together, Stan must decide if protecting his newfound trainee is worth killing for.

Lionsgate UK have just sent us this brand new trailer and some new images for Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman’s new movie, The Switch which is directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck and is released in the UK 3rd September.
The movie also stars Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, Juliette Lewis, Caroline Dhavernas, Scott Elrod, Todd Louiso and Kelli Barrett.
Synopsis: Kassie (Aniston – Friends, The Break-Up, The Bounty Hunter) is a smart, fun loving, single woman who decides she wants a baby. Despite her neurotic best friend Wally’s (Bateman – Arrested Development, Juno, Up In The Air) objections, she chooses to go for this on her own and opts for the services of a charming sperm donor (Wilson – Watchmen, Hard Candy). Unbeknownst to Kassie, her plans go awry when Wally drunkenly makes a last minute switch that isn’t discovered until seven years later when he finally meets her precocious – though slightly neurotic – son.

In Crest Point, life is pretty average, except for the minor fact that mysteriously town residents keep disappearing. As a local detective tries desperately to piece the clues together, a single mom tries endlessly to reach her troubled son who in turn strikes up a relationship with a murderer. When all the pieces to the detective's puzzle fall into place, will the murderer protect his own? Jarod Leary (Jeremy Sumpter) is a seventeen year old high school student who refuses to fit in and finds comfort in solitude. Bullied by the jocks and teased by the cheerleader, the fatherless loner turns to drugs and self-mutilation as an escape outlet. When his mother urges him to get an after school job, Jarod finds himself working at a neighborhood funeral home. Stan (Brad Dourif) is the owner of the local funeral home where Jarod finds work; the two loners quickly hit it...

Actor Brad Dourif is most commonly known for his roles in genre fare such as Exorcist 3, Grim Prairie Tales, and the Child’s Play series. In more recent years Dourif has expanded his repertoire on television with roles in Deadwood and Law & Order, but that hasn’t stopped him returning to the more creepy roles with which he made his name, such as in his latest movie Death and Cremation.
The debut of director Justin Steele, Death and Cremation is from a script by Alecc Bracero and Justin Steele, and stars Dourif along with Jeremy Sumpter (Friday Night Lights), Scott Elrod, Debbon Ayer (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Daniel Baldwin (Homicide: Life on the Street), and Staci Keenan (My Two Dads, Step by Step) in a story that takes place:

In the interests of full disclosure I will admit up front that I am a pretty big fan of Brad Dourif and love his performances in otherwise terrible films.
In addition to some questionable film choices, Dourif has recently done solid work in a number of Werner Herzog films and is probably still picking up pay checks for supplying the voice of Chucky in the Childs Play films.
He recently had a small part in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans and even managed to stand out there, against the wild eyed crazed performance by Nicholas Cage.
Brad Dourif is now playing a role that was surely made for him, a creepy funeral owner in a new thriller, Death and Cremation.
Death and Cremation is the feature film debut of Justin Steele, who in addition to directing also co-wrote the film. The film was shot on the Red One by cinematographer Akis Konstantakopoulos. Although the plot doesn’t sound that exciting...

I simply don't think there is enough Brad Dourif in cinema, or else I am looking in the wrong places. Instantly recognizable, Dourif has shown up in all sorts of genres and notable works so it is good to see him once again, this time in a new horror/thriller Death and Cremation.
In Crest Point, people go about their day-to-day lives with no sense of urgency and standard stereotypes abound. There's the high school bully with the popular girlfriend. The single mother raising her son after her husband has died. The detective who's never cracked a big case. Then there's Stan (Brad Dourif), a single 59 year old recluse who contributes to society by offering cremation services from the basement of his funeral home. Jarod Leary (Jeremy Sumpter), a bullied and fatherless 17-year-old high school outcast doesn't even try to fit in with his high school peers. Dressed in black,...
