The Joy Reid era at MSNBC is over.

Reid seemed to welcome controversy in a way that made her built
A good murder mystery is one thing, but when a TV show also manages to infuse distinct characters and extreme albeit hilarious melodrama, it’s certainly worth tuning into. From “Good Girls” creator Jenna Bans and her co-creator, Bill Krebs comes “Grosse Pointe Garden Society,” the latest unique drama with the same elements that made shows like “Desperate
Richard Gadd may be earning quite a few awards for his breakout Netflix series “Baby Reindeer,” but he’s not holding onto many. “I tend to give most of them out to people, if you can believe that,” he told me Saturday at the Independent Spirit Awards, where he took home the prize for best lead

Rare is the reboot that recaptures the organic magic and enthusiasm cult classics generate, but that certainly hasn’t stopped Hollywood from trying. In the second spinoff to the fan-favorite legal drama “Suits,” creator Aaron Korsh showcases a new crop of lawyers on an entirely different coast. “Suits LA” has the same nuts and bolts that
The years-long road that led to last week’s “SNL50” events was more than a complex programming campaign for NBCUniversal. It was a test of the company’s pipes. The Feb. 14 “SNL50: The Homecoming Concert,” held at Radio City Music Hall, and Feb. 16 “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” are pitch-perfect examples of the kind of distinctive

Taylor Sheridan‘s Western series “1923,” a prequel to “Yellowstone,” portrays the realities of surviving in the wilderness — including the political and social atmosphere of the time period.

“This film is an ode to cinema, an eternal nod to my mother,” states Lemohang Mosese in voiceover, near the beginning of “Ancestral Visions of the Future,” his always arresting and sometimes abstruse third feature. He hardly needs to say so. The personal monologue that fills the entire film is sewn through with dedications to
MSNBC‘s evening line-up may soon look quite different from what die-hard viewers have come to expect. The NBCUniversal-backed cable network is expected to move the trio of Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele to its 7 p.m. weekday slot Tuesday through Friday, according to two people familiar with the matter, and the group on

How sunny and well-meaning and therapeutically feel-good is the new autism drama “The Unbreakable Boy?” It’s a movie in which the dad, played by Zachary Levi, has an imaginary best friend. It’s a movie in which the local church is run by a Matthew McConaughey sort of dude named Preacher Rick (Peter Facinelli), who’s so
Former Vice President Kamala Harris gave a rousing speech at the 56th NAACP Image Awards on Saturday night at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in California, where she accepted the organization’s Chairman’s Award. “This organization came into being at a moment when our country struggled with greed, bitterness and hatred.

“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Rob McElhenney recently recalled one of the major low points of his acting career: Getting cut out of the 1997 crime thriller “The Devil’s Own” starring Brad Pitt and Harrison Ford. “That was one of the most humiliating and terrible experiences of my life because it was my first
SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from all six episodes of “Zero Day,” now streaming on Netflix.

Even though writer-director Woody Bess’ debut feature “Portal to Hell” turns the underworld into a fully tangible place, he’s less interested in major crimes than “low-grade evil.” “Every day we kind of deal with low-grade evil, be it wealth inequality or sexism, racism … we all just tolerate it,” Bess says. “It’s just around us

A couple of months ago, I had a movie experience that truly shook me up. It was early December, and I was in the middle of my end-of-the-year marathon, catching up with the big prestigious awards-season films I’d missed.

For “Captain America: Brave New World,” director Julius Onah wanted his entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be rooted in the world of a political thriller.

At nearly five-and-a-half hours — further divided into five massive chapters — Julia Loktev’s “My Undesirable Friends: Part I — Last Air in Moscow” is less like typical docu-journalism, and more akin to Tolstoy’s “War and Peace.” The first volume in a two-part series about independent reporters, it lays out its twists and turns early
The 75th anniversary edition of the Berlin Film Festival drew to a close with tonight’s awards ceremony, as the jury awarded the Golden Bear to Norwegian director Dag Johan Haugerud’s “Dreams (Sex Love),” the portrait of a teenage girl with a passionate imagination who pours her intense feelings toward a teacher into a transformative personal
