1. Watch on TV One

TV One is set to make an impact on the airwaves with their upcoming film, When Love Kills: The Falicia Blakely Story. Featuring Lil Mama as Falicia Blakely, this true crime movie follows her tragic life as a stripper and single mom who was brainwashed into becoming a murderer in the name of love.

The film, directed by Tasha Smith, explores how love can turn life around for the worst when it takes a dark turn. The film stars Niatia 'Lil Mama' Kirkland as Falicia, Tami Roman as her mother and Lance Gross as Dino, a local pimp who offers her empty promises of a life together, forcing her to prove her love for him at the cost of innocent lives.

In an effort to reinforce the film's underlying message that real love doesn't hurt, TV One will air a public service announcement during the film presentation. The network also partnered with Saving Our Daughters to provide young ladies with a chance to walk the red carpet and engage in a discussion about real love and self-esteem.

As a former teen mom, Kirkland is well aware of how hard it can be to raise children in a world where there's so much pressure and temptation. That's why she hopes that viewers will be encouraged by her portrayal of Falicia. She says the film's message will be important to both men and women.

The cast of the film, including Kirkland, Roman and Gross, were at ABFF for a Q&A with press. They all shared their experiences on the set of the film and how it affected them in a positive way. They also expressed that they wanted the audience to be educated on what goes on behind the scenes in the world of crime and how it can affect young people.

The Amazon Video store is a bonanza of must-see movies and TV shows, from blockbuster hits to the latest awards season contenders. If you’re lucky enough to score a Prime membership, you’re in for the treat of a lifetime! And while Netflix and Hulu might be the kings of the streaming world, they can’t hold a candle to what Amazon has to offer. Whether it’s a light-hearted romp or a pulsating thriller, there’s something for every movie buff out there. We’ve rounded up the best of the best in our list of must-watch movies on Prime.

Our favorite of the bunch is a teeny weeny romp that’s also one of the most heartwarming, heartfelt and tear-jerking films to be found on Amazon Prime. It’s the tale of a widow dealing with the loss of her husband with his oh-so-clever monthly letter. The movie is one of the most touching love stories you’ll ever see, showcasing just how much a person can forgive and forget after a tragic loss.

4. Watch on VOD

In an increasingly crowded streaming market, it's easy to get overwhelmed with the number of options out there. If you're looking for something new to watch, there are plenty of great films out there. But if you want something with more of a lasting impact, consider watching something that's been around for a while.

There's no better way to do this than by watching some of the best Woody Allen films on VOD. These are the films you can't afford to miss and are sure to give you a dose of enlightened, sexy cinema that will have you thinking differently about your own relationship.

Gena Rowlands stars in this esoteric Bergmanesque tale about a philosophy professor who eavesdrops on the therapy sessions of other people. As her own life begins to crumble, she's forced to question her place in the world. It's a sobering story that's full of wisdom and compassion, but you might need to see it with an open mind.

As always, there are some dreadful films out there, too. But there's also a lot of good stuff to be found on VOD.

Bruce Willis' latest straight-to-VOD titles aren't a patch on his previous films, but they're still pretty entertaining. This gangland shenanigans comedy is a welcome addition to Willis' straight-to-VOD repertoire, and his total screen time in this film doesn't exceed 15 minutes. He's also joined by a surprisingly showy Lydia Hull, who makes her biggest VOD appearance yet in this film as Bruce's icy, Terminator-like enforcer.

It's not Woody's most profound film, but it's definitely one of his more effervescent. It's a love letter to the Borscht Belt scene, but there are also some grand capers, too. The film was nominated for a Razzie, but Mia Farrow's shimmering performance is the highlight here. Sadly, it wasn't Woody's last collaboration with Farrow.
