Though I’ve been skeptical of shows naming themselves after a city in the past,Atlantacured me of that. It’s a show that, as an Atlantan, I’m proud of not only for its creative merits, but for how it represents the city. No city can be represented fully by just one story, but there can be a truth to it that is universal.Detroitersalso achieved both a niche and broad tale of its city, again as a half-hour series....
Warner Bros. has released the first image fromThe Kitchen. The story follows three 1978 Hell’s Kitchen’s housewives who are left to pick up the pieces and run crime operations when their mobster husbands are sent to prison. The leading cast alone—Tiffany Haddish,Melissa McCarthy, andElisabeth Moss—demands that this film be seen, but I’m curious to see how it will perform in 2019. The plot—women forced into crime because of the decisions made by their husbands—sounds a lot likeWidows, and no one went to go seeWidows....

With the airing of the Season 5 finale, “Fillory and Further,” five years of insanely cool magic, shocking twists, emotional breakdowns, and yes, f-bombs galore has come to an end. It wasn’t exactly supposed to go this way. If it were up toThe MagiciansshowrunnersSera Gamble,John McNamara, andHenry Alonso Myers, the show would have continued. But Syfy saw it differently, and in the midst of production on Season 5, word came down that this would probably be the show’s final season....
Whenever I see an iconic film getting the reboot or legacy sequel treatment, it usually inspires a sense of apprehension. Yes, it’s something that can and has been done right, but there have been far too many disappointments in that particular department. Showtime’sThe Man Who Fell to Earthis a lot of things, but it is certainly not a disappointment. Based on the 1963 novel of the same name byWalter Tevis, the original film starredDavid Bowieas an alien who comes to Earth to ship water back to his dying planet....
The year 1984 was one of the most exciting years for movies. Films likeIndiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,Ghostbusters,The Karate Kid,Beverly Hills Cop, andRed Dawn(among a host of others) were released to varying degrees of success and are still beloved by audiences today. But there is one film that was released in late October, just in time for Halloween, that launched a pretty well-known franchise that’s had a rough go at it over the past few decades....

TheMarvel Cinematic Universehas gotten a lot more complicated withthe Multiverse Saga. The franchise now includes television series and special presentations in addition to the films, and many recent projects feature stories of characters traveling throughout both time and the infinite multiverse. While this leads to interesting storytelling possibilities, it has also made the franchise harder to follow. Most viewers can understand things like superpowers and aliens, but the concepts of different realities and alternate versions of characters, with some being played by the same actors and some not, can be harder to wrap one’s head around....
