Steven Knightdarkened our holiday doorsteps in 2019 with a bleak and dour adaptation ofCharles Dickens’A Christmas Carol. That limited series, which hailed from both the BBC and FX, embraced all of the small-minded, mean-spirited, and hard-hearted aspects that the infamous Ebenezer Scrooge (Guy Pearce) has become known for, but forgot to bring in the Christmas cheer, the optimistic change wrought by near-death experiences and a retrospective look on one’s life, and the hopeful nature of the human condition....

I’ll never forget when news broke thatLily Rabescored the role of Commander Lyme inThe Hunger Games: Mockingjay. I was a new fan courtesy ofAmerican Horror Story: Murder HouseandAsylum, and was thrilled to see someone super talented join one of my favorite film franchises. But then, about seven months later, news broke that Rabe had to drop out due to a previous commitment and thatGwendoline Christiewould be taking the role instead. Given that I was also a huge fan of theGame of Thronesbreakout, it was a solid swap right there, but still, one might wonder, what was so important that Rabe would pass on being part of one of the biggest film franchises at the time?...

[This is a re-post of my review from the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival.Lovingopens this weekend in limited release.] You’ve seen this story before: period setting, emotions running high, progressivism triumphing over backwards-thinking prejudice. But you haven’t seen it like this. WithLoving, the fifth feature film fromTake ShelterandMudfilmmakerJeff Nichols, the true story of an interracial married couple just trying to live their lives in 1950s Virginia mostly follows the beats you’d expect from a film like this....

Last year, HBO broughtProject Greenlightback to life, much to the delight of fans who enjoyed getting a behind-the-scenes look at the filmmaking process through the reality series produced byMatt DamonandBen Affleck. But the world today is not the same world whenGreenlightfirst started back in 2001, and while the show’s fourth season marked a return to HBO after the pay cable network shoved off the series for Season 3, it now appears that HBO is once again cold on the prospect of making moreProject Greenlight....

Punisher, one of an unprecedented three Marvel series debuting on Netflix in 2017, has beefed up its cast as the cameras continue to roll. Some will be allies for the vigilante while others will almost certainly be antagonists. Just how it all shakes out remains to be seen, but the comic book readers among you might very well recognize a few of these names. We’ll keep it spoiler-free just the same....

In the 20 years since Joss Whedon’sBuffy the Vampire Slayerpremiered, the genre shows that have followed have borrowed heavily from the aspects that made that show an icon, with varying degrees of success. Indeed, more than a few of them owe their core concepts to the playbook established by Buffy and the Scoobs. Buffy was also a de facto superhero, so it’s little coincidence that her DNA is found in abundance in the bumper crop of superhero shows currently on the air – many of which are found on The CW, formerly known asBuffy’shome of The WB....

Waititi, who plays the film’s villain, Antwan, appeared onstage to introduce the film, entering to thunderous applause — appropriate, given his position as director forThor: Love and Thunder....

Dolores Cataniahosted a last supper for the women ofThe Real Housewives of New Jerseyduring the Season 14 finale ofthe reality series. To say it was an epic fail is an understatement. While no resolutions were found, a massive truth bomb was dropped that vindicated one party, yet seemed to be passed off as “okay” by another. Unfortunately, when the dust settles, the residual effects are destined to cause more damage than anticipated....
