Set in the late 32nd century, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is a direct spinoff of Discovery, picking up four years later in 3195. With the United Federation of Planets rebuilding and returning to its roots of galactic exploration after The Burn, Admiral Vance named Captain Nahla Ake (Holly Hunter) as Starfleet Academy’s new Chancellor. Vance tasked Ake with overseeing a new class of cadets who will fix the…

61. Queen at Sea (Lance Hamer)February 2026 (Berlinale Première)Back in 2008, Lance Hamer was a name on everyone’s lips due to his massively impressive indie feature, Ballast. Then… crickets. The guy went off somewhere, did some other things evidently. But now he’s finally back with Queen at Sea, and he’s got none other than Juliette Binoche in tow, and the film is set to première in competition at the 2026 Berlin Film Festival. Its story, about a mother and daughter decamping to London to tend to an ailing relative, could also be a clue as to Hamer’s whereabouts for the last two decades. DJ 62. Wild Horse…

Festivals: A Free Daughter of Free Kyrgyzstan (2025) by Leigh Iacobucci: When pop music becomes political risk top of pagebottom of page

Movies are, by and large, pretty good at letting their audience know when an ending is happy, or sad, or a little more complicated. Characters smile, the music swells. Characters cry, the music fades out. Characters look off into the middle distance in silence and contemplation. We let it wash over us, we understand, we accept. In most cases, especially with the good movies, we can’t imagine it any other way.Except for the times when we can. We’re not talking about movies that “should have been” one way or the other. But we are talking about movies that completely misunderstand…

If you’re anything like this author, then you probably love a good, old-fashioned horse opera. Classic television Westerns are unlike anything the genre produces for the medium today, with upright heroes, clear villains, and timeless tales that feel foundational to the Western as a whole. Of course, even our favorite classic Western TV protagonists didn’t all fit the same exact mold, though we loved each of them anyway. Whether you prefer Gunsmoke or The Lone Ranger, there is a Western TV hero for everybody, and so we took to ranking some of the very best. Of course, our list here…

Last week’s Saturday Night Live episode was a tough act to follow. And, unfortunately, the sketches this week did not even come close to measuring up to the Finn Wolfhard-hosted entry. However, while there were a lot of misses, there were also a couple of hits during the January 24 episode. Check out the highs and the lows of the week. SNL Hosts The Donald Trump Awards The first-ever Trump Awards took place on Saturday Night Live this week.

If anyone was going to try to adapt Silent Hill 2, one of video gaming’s most spectacular artistic achievements, you could do worse than French stylist Christophe Gans, who directed 2006’s Silent Hill – a loose adaptation of the first game in the series. Much to fans’ chagrin, the film rewrote the game’s story, but it did maintain its eerie atmosphere and disturbingly graphic imagery. Gans’ new film, Return to Silent Hill, is in some ways a much more faithful and loving console-to-theater transformation. We still follow James Sunderland (Jeremy Irvine), a morose man drawn to Silent Hill by a mysterious letter from his missing wife, Mary…
