There’s a marathon to be run, an annual family reunion to plan, and secret recipes to figure out during the one-hour summer Wahlburgers special on A&E. The special will air on Sunday, June 29, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT and will feature all of the members of the Wahlberg family including Mark, Jim, Donnie, Paul, and Alma, as well as some of Donnie’s New Kids on the Block band mates.
The series is executive produced by Mark Wahlberg, Donnie Wahlberg, and Stephen Levinson along with Rasha Drachkovitch, Lily Neumeyer and Devon Graham.
The Wahlburgers Summer Special Plot:
It’s summertime in Boston and the Wahlbergs are kicking off the season with their annual family reunion. This year there is a lot to celebrate at the reunion. It’s also Patriots’ Day and Jim Wahlberg, brother of Mark, Donnie and Paul, is in town to run the Boston Marathon. The whole family is eager to rally around and show their support for Jim as well as a couple of Donnie’s New Kids On The Block band members who are running the race this year. To honor the occasion, Alma wants to have a personal medal made for Jim but complications arise when she tries to have the medal delivered in time for the race.
Paul plans to help out preparing food for the big reunion after the race but first he must learn the secret recipe for Uncle Archie’s meatballs, a recipe that Uncle Archie is quite protective of and is not so eager to give out.
Meanwhile, Mark offers to set up his hometown entourage, Johnny “Drama” Alves and Henry “Nacho” Laun, with an acting job, which turns out to be very different than what they had in mind.
The 2004 independent comedy movie Napoleon Dynamite continues to be quoted more than a decade after its release in theaters. Why? Because the film starring Jon Heder as Napoleon, Aaron Ruell as Kip, Efren Ramirez as Pedro, and Jon Gries as Uncle Rico, Tina Majorino as Deb, Diedrich Bader as Rex, and Sandy Martin as Grandma had some seriously funny lines. We’ve selected some of the best for this collection of Napoleon Dynamite movie quotes:
Kid on the Bus – What are you going to do today, Napoleon?
Napoleon Dynamite – Whatever I feel like I wanna do! Gosh!
Don – Hey Napoleon, what did you do all last summer again?
Napoleon Dynamite – I told you. I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines.
Don – Did you shoot any?
Napoleon Dynamite – Yes, like 50 of ‘em! They kept trying to attack my cousins. What the heck would you do in a situation like that?
Don – What kind of gun did you use?
Napoleon Dynamite – A freakin’ 12 gauge! What do you think?!
Kip – Hi.
Napoleon Dynamite – Is grandma there?
Kip – No. She’s getting her hair done.
Napoleon Dynamite – Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Kip – What do you need?
Napoleon Dynamite – Could you just go get her for me?
Kip – I’m really busy right now.
Napoleon Dynamite – Well, just tell her to come get me.
Kip – Why?

Kip – Well have you talked to the school nurse?

Napoleon Dynamite – Well, will you do me a favor then?
Kip – What?
Napoleon Dynamite – Can you bring me my chapstick?
Kip – No, Napoleon.

Grandma – Knock it off, Napoleon. Make yourself a dang quesa-dilluh!
Napoleon Dynamite – Stay home and eat all the freakin’ chips, Kip.

Pedro – Have you asked anybody yet?
Napoleon Dynamite – No, but who would? I don’t even have any good skills.
Pedro – What do you mean?

Uncle Rico – I’m not goin’ anywhere, Napoleon.
Napoleon Dynamite – Get off my property!
Uncle Rico – It’s a free country. I can do whatever I want.
Napoleon Dynamite – Get off my property or I’ll call the cops on you.
Uncle Rico – Well then do it! Go on!
Napoleon Dynamite – Maybe I will, GOSH!
Pedro – If you vote for me, all of your wildest dreams will come true.
Napoleon Dynamite – I caught you a delicious bass.
Kip’s Wedding Song – Why do you love me? Why do you need me? Always and forever. We met in a chatroom, now our love can fully bloom. Sure the world wide web is great but you, you make my salivate. Yes, I love technology but not as much as you, you see. But I STILL love technology. Always and forever.
Our love is like a flock of doves, flying up to heaven above. Always and forever. Always and forever. Yes, our love is truly great. Always and forever. Why do you need me? Why do you love me?

Shiloh Fernandez and Shailene Woodley in 'White Bird in a Blizzard'
Shailene Woodley’s got the #1 movie at the box office right now with the critically acclaimed The Fault in Our Stars, she’s busy working on the next Divergent film, and she has White Bird in a Blizzard heading to theaters later this year. It’s definitely a busy 2014 for the young actress who thus far hasn’t made a misstep in choosing film roles. Hopefully, that will hold true for her upcoming film and this clip from White Bird in a Blizzard shows a little of what audiences can expect from the upcoming dramatic film based on Laura Kasischke’s book.
Adapted for the screen and directed by Gregg Araki, White Bird in a Blizzard also stars Eva Green, Christopher Meloni, Shiloh Fernandez, Gabourey Sidibe, Thomas Jane, Dale Dickey, Mark Indelicato, Sheryl Lee and Angela Bassett.

The Plot:
Kat Connors is 17 years old when her perfect homemaker mother, Eve, a beautiful, enigmatic, and haunted woman, disappears – just as Kat is discovering and relishing her newfound sexuality. Having lived for so long in a stifled, emotionally repressed household, she barely registers her mother’s absence and certainly doesn’t blame her doormat of a father, Brock, for the loss. In fact, it’s almost a relief. But as time passes, Kat begins to come to grips with how deeply Eve’s disappearance has affected her. Returning home on a break from college, she finds herself confronted with the truth about her mother’s departure, and her own denial about the events surrounding it…

It’s not all about the Barry Allen character (played by Grant Gustin) in The CW’s The Flash and this new behind-the-scenes video explores the world of the supporting characters. Tom Cavanagh, who plays Dr. Harrison Wells, explains a little about the people who support The Flash as part of the S.T.A.R. Laboratories team.
The cast also includes Candice Patton, Rick Cosnett, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, and Jesse L. Martin.
The Plot:
Barry Allen was just 11 years old when his mother was killed in a bizarre and terrifying incident and his father was falsely convicted of the murder. With his life changed forever by the tragedy, Barry was taken in and raised by Detective Joe West, the father of Barry’s best friend, Iris. Now, Barry has become a brilliant, driven and endearingly geeky CSI investigator, whose determination to uncover the truth about his mother’s strange death leads him to follow up on every unexplained urban legend and scientific advancement that comes along.
Barry’s latest obsession is a cutting edge particle accelerator, created by visionary physicist Harrison Wells and his S.T.A.R. Labs team, who claim that this invention will bring about unimaginable advancements in power and medicine. However, something goes horribly wrong during the public unveiling, and when the devastating explosion causes a freak storm, many lives are lost, and Barry is struck by lightning.
After nine months in a coma, Barry awakens to find his life has changed once again – the accident has given him the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel. Though initially excited by his newfound powers, Barry is shocked to discover he is not the only “meta-human” who was created in the wake of the accelerator explosion – and not everyone is using their new powers for good.
In the months since the accident, the city has seen a sharp increase in missing people, unexplained deaths, and other strange phenomena. Barry now has a renewed purpose – using his gift of speed to protect the innocent while never giving up on his quest to solve his mother’s murder and clear his father’s name. For now, only a few close friends and associates know that Barry is literally the fastest man alive, but it won’t be long before the world learns what Barry Allen has become…The Flash.
The new Doctor, Peter Capaldi, will be hitting the road for a promotional tour in advance of the upcoming season of BBC One’s Doctor Who. Capaldi will be joined on various stops on the tour by Jenna Coleman and executive producer Steven Moffat, with the world tour kicking off in Cardiff, Wales on August 7, 2014. The final stop will be in Brazil on August 19th. Spread out over 12 days, the Doctor Who tour will stop in five continents and visit seven cities.
In addition to Cardiff, stops are set to include London, Seoul, Sydney, New York, Mexico City, and Rio de Janeiro.
“It’s fantastic that so many people across the world love Doctor Who. After eight months solid filming deep in the world of monsters, Jenna and I are thrilled to be heading for the Planet of Fans,” said Capaldi.
“I’ve always thought we’d all be a lot safer if the Doctor conquered the world, instead of the Daleks,” added Moffat. “Now with Jenna and Peter leading the charge, it looks like it’s going to happen. I’ll be bringing up the rear to handle the exposition scenes, and maybe carry some bags.”
The new season is currently shooting and will debut on BBC One in August.
