Out of the many colorful and quirky characters that make upNBC’sCommunity’s main cast, the socially awkward Abed Nadir (Danny Pudi) is arguably the heart and soul of the show. And Abed is a fan favorite for a reason. As the most meta character of the cast, a lot ofCommunity’s tongue-in-cheek humor is delivered by Abed. But that’s far from his best quality. From his emotionally immature beginnings to his well-rounded and completed character arc by the end of the series, Abed is a dynamic character who, despite his awareness of being in a TV show, is able to grow as a person – and these eleven hilarious but heartwarming episodes prove it....

The Oscars have long been recognized as the gold standard for cinematic excellence, with countless actors, directors, and composers over the years pushing themselves to new heights to achieve Oscar glory. The select ranks of the Academy Award winners have proven to be notoriously difficult to crack, as there is a strangely long list of excellent actors and directors that somehownever managed to win an Oscar:Alfred Hitchcockwas nominated five times but never won,Albert Finneyhad the same stretch of bad luck,Richard Burtoncame up empty despite being nominated seven times, andPeter O’Toolewas nominatedeighttimes without ever winning....

It’s easy to like or even love a movie likeSpotlight. The protagonists are on the side of a cause that no sane person would be against and their hard work pays tremendous dividends by the end of it all. Their work is portrayed as exciting and righteous; their personal lives are not perfect but sustainable and even enjoyable for the most part. When we are faced with the ghastly, perverse crimes of the Boston Archdiocese, there’s a convincing depiction of the psychological traumas that come from molestation and betrayal at that level but there’s no ugliness beyond their accounts....

We’ve now reached the point in Pixar’s history where their outstanding movies are the exception rather than the rule.Inside Outwas hailed as a return to form, but then the studio followed it up with the blandThe Good Dinosaur, the adequateFinding Dory, and the soullessCars 3. While the future for the studio as a whole remains uncertain, they’re in their element with the moving, beautifulCoco.Lee Unkrich’s film is a lovely look at family, music, and legacy, finding tangible ways to express these concepts by taking a lovely journey through Dia de los Muertos....

90s nostalgia and reboots are all the rage, but it won’t help restore relevancy. You can try, though, MTV. The Viacom channel is launching a studio to focus specifically on reviving its 90s-born IP, fromDariatoThe Real WorldtoAeon Flux(which will get alive-action reboot, unlike – mercifully –Daria). According to a press release, MTV Studios will also be developing “The Valley, a coming of age docuseries in the vein ofThe HillsandSiesta Key, which follows a group of young friends in Nogales, Arizona [as well as]MTV’s Straight Up Ghosted, in which young people attempt to confront lost friends, romantic partners, and family members about being ghosted....

Much likeLogankept its title under wraps for a long, long time, 20th Century Fox has done a swell job thus far of maintaining an air of secrecy aroundDeadpool 2. We’ve seen two trailers, but while they tease more action and comedy antics from the titular foul-mouthed superhero, the plot of the sequel remains very much a secret. We don’t even know, officially, who the film’s villains are, and thus a rumor started spreading last week that has many people talking....

Chances are you now know whoBong Joon-hois. But long before his history-making Academy Award wins (including a Best Director, Best Picture and Best Foreign Feature award), he was already one of the most exciting, talented filmmakers on the planet. This isn’t hyperbole, either; getting to watch each one of his films felt like the act of uncovering some delicate treasure, one full of life, character, intricate detail, and style. He’s only made a handful of films, but they’re all unforgettable (making a list of “best” to “worst” doesn’t quite work because they’re all pretty peerless), as he’s worked over a small set of thematic and narrative obsessions (the class divide, treatment of animals, sanctity of translation, and importance of family – in all of its forms), each time uncovering some elemental truth in the most dazzling, inventive way possible....

French DJ-turned-filmmakerQuentin Dupieux(aka Mr. Ozio) has made a cinematic career out of films that are hard to classify, usually skewing between genres with a decidedly absurdist bent. Perhaps best known in the states forRubber, his strange tale of a telekinetic serial-murdering tire, Dupieux brings his distinct brand of oddball comedy to the realm of police procedural with the fabulously titledKeep an Eye Out(a delightful pun related to the events of the film)....
