The Hulu original seriesShut Eyeis a darkly comedic look at the world of Los Angeles storefront psychics and the history of fraud behind them. Charlie Haverford (Jeffrey Donovan) is a scammer with a small chain of fortune-telling storefronts and a wife, named Linda (KaDee Strickland), who is sick and tired of living under the control of the family that controls the businesses. During this 1-on-1 interview with Collider, actor Jeffrey Donovan (who recently did excellent work in Season 2 of FX’sFargo) talked about what drew him toShut Eye, the biggest challenges in playing this character, making a living from being dishonest, whether Charlie feels any guilt about what he does to other people, and when they might start talking about a possible Season 2....

Armando Iannucci, creator ofIn the LoopandVeep, has brought his acid wit and dark comedic sensibilities to another nation: Russia. His new film,The Death of Stalin, follows the chaos and jockeying for power that took place after the death of the authoritative leader in 1953. Because it’s Iannucci, though, the movie also looks incredibly funny as it satirizes both the egos and the fear that permeated that era. And, in what is actually a pretty smart move (in my opinion), Iannucci also allows each of his actors to keep their native accents and dialects, which means we aren’t made to suffer throughout outrageous attempts at Slavic cadence or the typical fall-back to everyone just sounding posh and English....

It’s been about two years sinceThe Grand Budapest Hotelcame out and that’s becoming an issue. My patience for filmmakers taking their time is usually quite high - it comes with being aTerrence Malickfan and most years, there’s plenty of good and great movies to see to keep your attention off such matters. When it comes to directors likeWes Anderson,Martin Scorsese,David Fincher,Jia Zhang-ke, andP.T. Anderson, amongst a few other major names, however, there’s no helping a dedicated fan....

Michelangelo wasfor suregoing to get really into heroin. The first film showed us that it’s only a matter of time until government scientists descend on Central Park to collect Raphael’s bullet-riddled corpse after he chases the wrong purse snatcher from a midnight screening ofDr....

Here’s another one for all those trolls out there. Despite the desperate attempt toreview bomb the fourth seasonofThe Boys, Prime Video announces that the total viewership for the latest season is up 20% from that of Season 3. It’s been nearly 40 days since thefirst episode of Season 4 droppedand the numbers are looking excellent, with the series clocking in 55 million viewers worldwide since its premiere.
