Riverdale Season 5 Episode 1 “Clearly our last two weeks of high school are going to be fraught…” Friends, on this day we find this country starting a new chapter, one that is full of hope and excitement for the future. I am of course referring to the airing of Riverdale‘s season premiere, a somewhat wheel-spinning, melodramatic affair that feels more like the closing pages of a book than the start of another story....

Hence one of the several reasons for my trepidation toward returning to Alejandro’s pack. Whereas Sicario was Denis Villeneuve’s tense journey into night, a sequel like Sicario: Day of the Soldado had to find its own path on a terrain that will be wholly without sunlight (or for that matter, Villeneuve and Blunt). Yet that innate darkness proves to be Soldado’s greatest virtue. With no light, there are also no rules, and as such returning screenwriter Taylor Sheridan and incoming director Stefano Sollima are allowed to build a stripped down and scalpel-sharp action movie....

Poitier, who won the Best Actor Oscar in 1964 for Lilies of the Field, plays magazine reporter Ben Munceford in The Bedford Incident. The Cold War thriller isn’t as well-known as Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb or Sidney Lumet’s Fail-Safe, but it is as chilling as any apocalyptic vision ever put on screen. The Bedford Incident was directed by James B....

Snowpiercer Season 3 Episode 1 One of the strongest features of Snowpiercer is the show’s ability to figure out ways to create claustrophobia. Granted, that’s easy on a train; it’s not exactly the sort of environment in which you can spread out and social distance from your neighbors. On the last train, however, that situation is even more dire, especially if you’re in third class or stuck in the tail. The people on board Snowpiercer toil away elbow to elbow with their fellows, making clothes, breaking up ice, cooking and growing food, even entertaining in the club car....

Snowpiercer Season 3 Episode 2 When situations change on Snowpiercer, there’s not much chance for the characters to absorb the effects of that change before having to act on them. It wasn’t all that long ago that Oz (Sam Otto) and LJ (Annelise Basso) were banished to sanitation, working as janitors for their various abuses of power and crimes. Now, thanks to a little Wilford (Sean Bean) magic, they’re having the Snowpiercer equivalent of the Royal Wedding, the Loyal Wedding....

The penultimate episode of Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 is an intriguing mix of action and politics as Michael and Book infiltrate the stolen Discovery and Osyraa takes ship straight up to the Federation Headquarters’ front door in order to make an unexpected offer to Admiral Vance. “There is a Tide…” turns out to be a rather surprising hour, spending less time on Michael and Book’s undercover rescue antics and instead asking thorny moral questions that it’s not entirely clear that the season has earned the right to ask....

Because everything in the 32nd century is brand-new for the Star Trek canon, it would make sense that the writers of Star Trek: Discovery could get away with not really referencing anything from the existing canon. To put it another way, how much do you really know about the year 1090 off the top of your head? The gap between Discovery’s point of origin in 2258 and 3188-3189 is huge....

Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 2 One of the major questions of Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 seems to be how Michael Burnham will balance the professional and personal sides of herself now that she has become a captain. As the person responsible for an entire ship and the lives of its crew, it naturally follows that she’s going to have to make harder, more difficult choices than she was before she earned her spot in that chair....

There’s a lot to break down here, but the first thing you need to know is that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set in the same universe as the Arkham games. There’s a deeper discussion to be had about the exact ways it will fit into that universe, but the basic idea is that the major events in the Arkham games are being treated as canonical within Kill the Justice League‘s story....

Which is perhaps why nearly every face, and every person we spoke with, over the last several weeks in the Texas state capital seemed to have an incorrigible grin on their face. Be they fans or filmmakers, actors or music artists, or even just folks walking down the street, the thrill and good vibes was everywhere. SXSW is back where it once belonged. During that time, we were able to get a look at some of the most interesting and bizarre films of the year, and preview some of the biggest television events of the season....

Amelia Demoldenberg If you’ve recently been asking yourself ‘Am I well old?’ then your familiarity with comedian and YouTuber Amelia Demoldenberg should give you an answer. She’s best known for her Chicken Shop Date YouTube series, where she interviews bright young things like grime artists, Premier League footballers… and Louis Theroux. Carol Vorderman The Countdown queen! And no stranger to performing tasks under pressure, as her appearances on I’m a Celebrity and The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off (which she won in 2020) proved....

Sterling Archer and the rest of The Agency are forced to roll with some big swings while under the new management of Fabian Kingsworth and IIA–the International Intelligence Agency. Season 13’s premiere, “The Big Con,” playfully eases the audience into this new status quo. Executive producer Casey Willis, and producer/director Pierre Cerato, break down the events of this explosive episode, where Archer’s head is during this busy story, and what lies ahead for the Agency during this transformative season....

The sun is shining brightly as Arne Cheyenne Johnson (Ruairi O’Connor) stands up before the courtroom. On this bright, seemingly glorious day in God’s country, the young man who once sacrificed his own body to a demon in order to save a child is about to receive his verdict from the jury. And, even before the film’s ending crawl explains what that sentence will be, he appears aware enough to know he’s about to go to prison....

The series is written by Tom Moran, and comes from the team behind Sherlock and Dracula, including former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat. The plot centres on a troubled woman who wakes up every night at 3.33am – the so-called devil’s hour – and sees terrifying visions, which get her caught up in a series of brutal murders and a disappearance from many years ago. The show boasts an impressive lineup of acting talent – so let’s meet the cast of The Devil’s Hour:...

In The Great, Elle Fanning anchors a deceptively biting romp punctuated with the visceral realities of the 18th century Russian court of Peter III. With a passing resemblance to history, The Great tracks Catherine’s trajectory from a naive German princess obsessed with romance to a savvy woman managing affairs of state and plotting a coup against her husband. A wild ride through the romance, grit, and plotting it takes to become the storied Catherine the Great, Hulu’s new series is frothy fun with a deadly dark side....

“It’s been five years since we had our children torn away from us, an eternity. […] We’ve missed everything. The steps. The smiles. The tragedies…” – June Osborne, The Handmaid’s Tale, Season 3, Episode 10 Over the seasons, Janine’s naivety has left her vulnerable. She unwisely spoke out against the Aunts at the Red Centre, and they punished her by taking her eye. She believed Commander Putnam’s lies about leaving his wife to run off and live with baby Charlotte as a family, and was left suicidal....

Agatha Christie once famously said, “Every murderer is probably somebody’s old friend.” Perhaps that’s why in Rian Johnson’s latest whodunit, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, the filmmaker has littered the screen with pals. If Benoit Blanc—who is winsomely as ever played by Daniel Craig—is a pursuer of the truth, and the vigilant hound dog chasing hidden murderers wherever they may dwell, surely he is then conscious of the company he keeps?...
