However you feel about the famously enigmaticTerrence Malick, one thing is safe to say: the reception of his latest films has been far cooler than the kinds of rapturous applause his prior efforts, dating back toBadlandsin 1973, have yielded. It’s a fact that makes it almost impossible not to factor the iconic 73 year-old filmmaker himself – and his faltering public opinion – into discussions of his work. Still, as young filmmakers still attempt to recreate the magic of Malick’s early masterpieces decades on, the lyrical, bewitchingSong to Songseems to prove that perhaps the only one not wishing for anotherDays of Heavenis Malick himself....

Created byJeff Rake,Manifestreturned for its fourth season — after being untimely canceled at NBC and revived, quite like the passengers themselves, at Netflix for one final 20-episode season — two years after the death of matriarch Grace Stone (Athena Karkanis) with brother-and-sister duo Ben (Josh Dallas) and Michaela Stone (Melissa Roxburgh) split in their priorities. As Michaela carried the weight of the passengers’ lifeboat, Ben desperately searched for his daughter Eden, who was kidnapped by Grace’s murderer Angelina (Holly Taylor)....

Stranger Thingsnews sometimes comes from the strangest places, but we’ll take what we can get. The latest update on the highly anticipated second season of the hit Netflix series came from the show’s starDavid Harbourwhile in attendance for a fan convention. That, by itself, isn’t so strange, but that fact that it was a floating fan convention on a cruise ship is a little out of the ordinary (and soundsfantastic)....

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersthrough the Season 1 finale ofThe Flight Attendant, “Arrivals and Departures."] If you, like me, plowed throughThe Flight Attendanton HBO Max with the ferocity of a bottomless mimosa-featuring brunch, you were excited to hear a Season 2 was on its way. And now, its star and producerKaley Cuoco, who plays our struggling flight attendant thrust into the center of a globe-trotting murder mystery, has revealed what we can expect from the upcoming season....

If at any time before this shambolic final season ofGame of Thronessomeone had handed you a few notes about the series finale, there might have been some poetry to it. You might have imagined how Daenerys Targaryen’s slow, subversive turn into a megalomaniacal, dragon-wielding villain would play out, or how the beleaguered Stark family would eventually find their way back to power by ruling the North as its own kingdom. The stuff about Bran controlling Westeros (despite formerly insisting that he’s not “Bran” but the Three-Eyed Raven) is weird enough to pique your interest probably, after the presumption that (of course) the mythology around his warging abilities and connection to the Night King and the Children of the Forest would be further explored....

Tons of people have seenThe Officemany, many,manytimes, but there’s a pretty major Easter egg that you might have missed. One of the things that madeThe Officeso groundbreaking when it first aired was that it ditched the traditional multicamera format of a comedy TV series in favor of a single-camera, and a documentary-like one at that. This began with the original UKThe Office, of course, but American viewers were used to sitcoms looking a certain way....

Forrest Gumpwas one of the big hits of the 1990s. It was thehighest-grossing movie of 1994, making more than blockbusters likeThe Lion King,True Lies, andSpeed. It went on to win six Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. The story of the eponymous slow-witted man (Tom Hanks) who traipses through major events of the 1960s and 70s while never losing sight of his true love, Jenny (Robin Wright), was uplifting for audiences and it’s not difficult to see why....

If you’ve ever watched even one episode of any of ABC’sBachelorfranchise series, Lifetime’s bitter satire of it,UnReal, will certainly strike a chord. But even if you are unfamiliar withThe Bachelorthere’s still plenty to love aboutUnReal, which has a deep and pervasive cynicism about the reality TV business that even rivalsVeep’s excoriating look at politics. The difference is that onUnReal, the jagged barbs and whip-sharp exchanges are occasionally taken to heart, making the series as emotionally wrought as it its characters are morally bankrupt....
