The Byrdes, Marty and Wendy, are flying back into Netflix for “Ozark” season 4, Part 1.

Snakehead Trailer: The American Dream Meets The Chinatown Underworld Samuel Goldwyn Films By Jeremy Mathai/Aug. 24, 2021 3:38 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. It’s easy to think otherwise, based on which movies tend to get all the attention, but America doesn’t actually have a monopoly on crime dramas. “Snakehead” is attempting to invigorate the classic genre by providing an outsider’s perspective, telling the story of a Chinese immigrant making her way to New York and plunging headfirst into the seedy underworld of Chinatown mobsters, drug rings, and smugglers in the hopes of providing a better life for her family....

Star Trek: Prodigy Review: A Lovely Series Skewed Towards A New Generation Paramount By Jeff Ewing/Oct. 28, 2021 10:59 am EST “Star Trek: Prodigy,” the newest series in the long-running science fiction franchise, is a rare rhetorical bird for the “Trek” world. It isn’t the first animated franchise entry (that honor belongs to “Star Trek: The Animated Series,” to be followed by the decidedly more humorous “Star Trek: The Lower Decks”), but it’s the first franchise animated series aimed specifically for a younger audience....

Sundance Movie Review: The Winning Season By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 19, 2009 11:57 pm EST At Sundance in 2005, I fell in love with a little movie called Lonesome Jim, which was directed by Steve Buscemi and starred Casey Affleck. The film wasn’t necessarily incredible, but the screenplay by newcomer James C Strouse really connected with me, even though my life is nothing similar to anything shown in the film itself. I connected to the authenticity behind the characters and the story....

The 8 Best And 7 Worst Spike Lee Movies Universal Pictures By Noel Ransome/Nov. 1, 2021 7:42 pm EST Spike Lee has been called many things — activist, historian, filmmaker, artisan, American interrogator, and general examiner of the Black condition. However, fighter may be the most familiar of them. Consider fighting as a shorthand for Lee’s artistry, but also as a deceptive quality when his battles — on a script, in a Lee joint, in the news, and at a film festival — are just the byproducts of his truth; a Lee don’t-give-a-damn sort of truth....

The Game Season 1: Release Date, Cast, And More Paramount+ By Jeremy Mathai/Oct. 8, 2021 10:43 am EST (Welcome to …And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.) How many shows can you name off the top of your head that first started as a backdoor pilot on another show entirely (in this case, UPN’s “Girlfriends”), got picked up on another network (The CW) for a total of three seasons, got cancelled and subsequently picked up on another network for six more seasons (BET), ended on their own terms with a series finale, and then found new life in a revival series for the Paramount+ streaming service?...

Why Frank Miller Changed His Mind About Zack Snyder’s DC Movies Warner Bros. By Joshua Meyer/Sept. 22, 2021 11:42 am EST Zack Snyder’s first comic book movie was “300,” an adaptation of the Dark Horse series of the same name, written and illustrated by Frank Miller. “300” came out 15 years ago, before Snyder ever tackled DC Comics properties such as “Watchmen,” “Man of Steel,” and “Justice League.” Snyder hasn’t been shy about his love for Miller’s comics, but until now, we haven’t heard much of what Miller had to say about Snyder’s movies....

‘The Nevers’ Trailer: HBO’s Victorian Superhero Series Debuts This April By Hoai-Tran Bui/March 23, 2021 10:30 am EST Victorian era ladies with superpowers is a hell of a premise, even if The Nevers has had a bit of a hellish production. A supernatural action series set in a rich fantasy world featuring an ensemble of butt-kicking women, The Nevers was being primed as Joss Whedon’s return to TV before the creator left the project midway, leaving HBO to bring in Philippa Goslett to replace him as showrunner and executive producer and cut the show’s 10-episode order down to six....
