Music runs through Halle Bailey’s veins. Before she yearned to be part of your world as Ariel in The Little Mermaid, and before she left her stamp on R&b alongside her older sister as Chloë x Halle, the singer and actress was a little girl with an ambitious and musical soul. That version of herself stars in the teaser trailer for “Angel,” Bailey’s first official solo single set for release on Aug. 4.
In the 22-second preview, old footage flashes back to the singer’s earliest musical memories.

Sydney Film Festival has announced the films to compete for the Documentary Australia Foundation (Daf) Award for Australian Documentary, with a 12-strong line-up to mark the prize’s 12th anniversary.
The winning film will be presented with $10,000 at the festival’s closing night in November.
All docs were selected for the festival’s original August date, but the move to later in the year means a number of the films, such as Sbs’s Australia Uncovered projects Strong Female Lead, The Bowraville Murders, The Department and Incarceration Nation, will have broadcast already. Others, like Gracie Otto’s Under the Volcano, are in digital release.
Its a challenge for the festival to grapple with, but given the disrupted nature of this year, it may still be first chance for many of the filmmakers to have their work screen in front of a live audience.

Comcast and NBCUniversal are pushing Peacock out of the nest starting Wednesday, April 15, promising to unfurl a rich plume of 15,000-plus hours of streaming content, first for the cable giant’s own TV and internet customers.
Peacock is then slated to be available across the U.S. on July 15 — while NBCU is mulling the possibility of moving that up sooner — in various three tiers across mobile, web and connected-tv devices: paid with ads ($4.99 monthly); paid with no ads ($9.99 monthly); and completely free with ads with a truncated content lineup. With the national launch, Comcast (and Cox) subscribers also will have the option to get an ad-free version of the service for an additional $5 per month.

First off, I have to tell you that this page may load slow. We're making an awful lot of calls to the Amazon Api here, and that's bound to monkey with things. If you have no idea what that means... it's shiny. Please note also that, for the same reason, you may find, depending on traffic, that not all of the Amazon details will load properly. I apologize for that, it's just the nature of the beast, and the fact that the Api wasn't really meant for such things. If you refresh, it will probably fix.
You may have heard me mention this giveaway quite a while ago, and it's taken me a long time to figure out what sort of format to put things in, and I kept added things. Eventually it became too much to really give any kind of run down on the items, so I decided...

Whiteout has been one of the most weirdly under-publicized movies of the year. Now, finally, the first full trailer has been released, and it looks like there's a bit more to the story than had first appeared.
An atmospheric murder mystery set in Antarctica, Whiteout stars Kate Beckinsale as a lone U.S. Marshal who has just three days to solve the continent's first murder before darkness falls. Now we see that what sets events in motion is the discovery of "something big" under the ice. This definitely ratchets up the suspense a notch or two.
