AScott Coopermovie always seems to have the air of prestige around it that never feels earned. While his breakthrough featureCrazy Heartwon an Oscar forJeff Bridges, since then, Cooper’s filmography—Black Mass,Out of the Furnace, andHostiles—carries the veneer of importance and weight without ever actually delivering much of an impact. He’s a filmmaker who refuses to trust his audience to come to him, which is how you get a horror film as inert as the handsomely craftedAntlers....

Six seasons into a network show, it’s not always easy to find new, organic sources of drama, butArrow’s decision to explore tensions between the original members of Team Arrow and the newbies is a brilliant one. Whether you’re Team OTA or Team Newbie, “Irreconcilable Differences” probably did a good job of convincing you the other side had some good points. Like any great drama, this struggle isn’t black-and-white. It’s particularly tragic that an episode that ended with such division on Team Arrow began with such unity....

OhCurb, it’s good to have you back. HBO has just released the first full trailer forCurb Your EnthusiasmSeason 9, which not only teases a ton of celebrities cameos (per usual), but also reminds us of the unique mind and familiar grievances of oneLarry David. The new trailer gives us some new issues for Larry to face, including an employee who doesn’t come to work when she is constipated, a couple making out in front of Larry (he hates all kinds of PDA of course), and a whole host of people telling him to get the F out of their sight (or off of their bus, to which he actually agrees is the right call)....

HBO has released the first trailer forDerek Cianfrance’s limited series adaptation ofWally Lamb’s novelI Know This Much Is True. The series starsMark Ruffaloin dual roles as twin brothers, one of whom suffers from mental illness. I really like Cianfrance’s movies, and it’s been a minute since his 2016 featureThe Light Between Oceans, which was just kind of dumped between studios rather than a reflection on the film’s quality (it’s solid, but not as good asBlue ValentineorThe Place Beyond the Pines)....
