In between tense sci-fi sagas like Severance and gripping thrillers like Cape Fear, Apple TV has become a great platform for cozy comfort watches. Ted Lasso might be the first example people think of in that camp, and while that will be returning for Season 4 by the end of the year, another Bill Lawrence series will also be returning with Jason Segel’s hit dramedy, Shrinking. The series has been widely praised for its authentic depictions of mental health and therapy, and that’s likely only going to continue in the upcoming fourth season, which just recently added MCU star Karen…

It’s not a sequel, it’s a companion piece.At least that is how Sony is billing The Social Reckoning, their latest film about Facebook — which also comes from the screenwriter of The Social Network, Aaron Sorkin. He pulls double duty this time as both writer and director (David Fincher directed The Social Network), telling a story from Facebook’s more recent history.Jeremy Strong plays Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg this time, replacing Jesse Eisenberg. But Zuckerberg isn’t necessarily the main character this time, or at least Strong is not top-bllled in the cast; That’s Anora’s Mikey Madison who plays Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen, with Jeremy Allen White as…

There’s a good reason—plenty of them, in fact—why fantasy has remained one of the most prolific and popular movie genres as the decades have passed.

But of course, though every year since 2021 has seen the release of at least a…

So far, so Spielberg – he sets the stage for an ambitious, epic, action-heavy story about a group of do-gooders facing off against a sinister corporation. But Koepp’s screenplay simply isn’t up to the task; tonally uneven with a thinly-sketched religious subplot, the stilted dialogue gives the impression of a writer who’s never heard humans have a conversation before, much less written countless films to that effect. Spielberg’s boyish earnestness clashes with a mostly humourless script, resulting in a distracting goofiness (on more than one occasion characters evade capture by hiding behind a large physical obstacle like it’s an episode of Scooby-Doo) that undercuts the narrative tension. Wilful withholding…
