Jensen Ackles Returns For “Supernatural” Spin-Off “The Winchesters”

Few series have such a huge, loyal fan base as “Supernatural.” When it ended earlier this year after its 15th season, fans were left heartbroken. If you are one of them, you’ll be happy to hear that The CW is taking us back into that world for the new series “The Winchesters” Before there was Sam and Dean, there was John and Mary. The series will be told from the perspective of Dean (Jensen Ackles), who narrates the show. “The Winchesters” will tell not only the love story of John and Mary but also how they saved the world. Ackles recently had this to say to Deadline: “After Supernatural wrapped its 15th season, we knew it wasn’t over. because like we say in the show, ‘nothing ever really ends, does it?’ When Danneel and I formed Chaos Machine Productions, we knew the first story we wanted to tell was the story of John and Mary Winchester, or rather the Supernatural

Blu-ray Review: The Ringmaster (2018)

Seemingly all of Denmark is balls deep into the finals of the nondescript European Championships. Speaking of “games”, our heroine, the studious Agnes (Anne Bergfeld), is hoping for an easy night at the gas station in which she works… since everyone should be home watching feet colliding with balls, as previously established, but wouldn’t you just know it, things become a bit more hectic for our heroine and her co-worker, Belinda (Karin Michelsen) as they soon find themselves besieged by intense folks coming through those damned doors all night long… and as is so often the case, Agnes soon finds herself at the (not so) tender mercies of a sadistic, greasepaint adorned Ringmaster (Damon Younger) and his torture-porn emporium! Let’s look at the positive aspects of this film before I slam you with what’s wrong here… In the hands of co-writer/director Søren Juul Petersen and his co-writer Carsten Juul Bladt (working from a novel by Steen Langstrup, The Ringmaster has
