In case you missed it when it was released in early November, it’s a great week to catch up with “Nuremberg,” the Russell Crowe-Rami Malek two-hander written and directed by James Vanderbilt, about the international tribunal that put the Nazi high command on trial for war crimes. Based on the book “The Nazi and the Psychiatrist” by Jack El-Hai, the film examines the clinical relationship between Army psychiatrist Dr. Douglas Kelley (Malek) and German Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring (Crowe).

Today Disneyland is so fully formed that it's taken for granted. We debate ticket prices and crowd calendars, strategizing the optimal time to visit. The new documentary "Disneyland Handcrafted" hits pause on all of that..
This week’s AI action thriller “Mercy” isn’t quite the ideal showcase for the talents of Swedish superstar Rebecca Ferguson. The actress burst onto the international scene in 2015 with her memorable supporting turn in “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation” as the feisty Ilsa Faust, launching her as a fully formed movie star (she had been appearing in Swedish TV and film for 15 years already). ...
The Golden Globes were on Sunday, Jan. 11, the opening salvo of the awards season ceremonies leading up to the Academy Awards on March 15. It’s an indicator if not an accurate prediction of where the awards tea leaves are heading, though keep in mind that the awards are voted on by different bodies, and the different categories can add an additional wrinkle. However, if you’d like to catch up ...

It’s a new year, and we’re all coming down from our collective “Heated Rivalry” obsession over holiday break. It seems impossible to have missed, but if you haven’t watched the six-episode series on HBO Max about two hockey superstars hooking up and then falling in love, it should go to the top of your watch list. Based on the “Game Changers” romance novel series by Rachel Reid, the series, produced by the Canadian streamer Crave, exploded into a media phenomenon this winter, launching its two previously unknown stars, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, into superstardom overnight. This monoculture moment has proven to be a steamy and romantic respite from the real world.
A broadcast TV show about a middle-aged guy who becomes an LAPD cop wouldn’t seem like your typical teen magnet. Yet, the “The Rookie” was the most-streamed show among young people under 18 across all broadcast series in the 2024-2025 broadcast TV season, according to Nielsen data.
LOS ANGELES — It’s the start of a new year and that means the kickoff of a whole new slate of television series. And while 2026 will bring plenty of those, it will also yield revivals, new seasons of beloved shows, spinoffs and long-awaited finales. Though this list isn’t exhaustive by any means, and not all dates have been announced, there’s plenty to start penciling into your calendar. ‘Star ...
ATLANTA — Netflix’s “Stranger Things” may be set in a small town, but its cast has always been well populated.

Director Josh Safdie’s opus “Marty Supreme,” hits theaters on Christmas Day, with the tagline, “dream big.” This feverish, breakneck journey follows a tabletop whiz kid from New York City named Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet) as he attempts to make it to the top of his sport, battling demons inside and out on his globe-spanning quest. It’s a lot like “Uncut Gems” (Safdie’s prior film) but set in the 1950s. Both Marty Mauser and Howard Ratner, of “Gems,” are cut from the same hustler cloth.
It’s hard to fathom the terrible tragedy that is the murder of beloved Hollywood filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner. His films defined a generation in the 1980s and ‘90s, carving their way into cultural consciousness, and almost every one of his best films can be identified by a quote that everyone knows: “as you wish” (“The Princess Bride”), “these go to 11” (“This Is Spinal Tap”), “do you want to see a dead body?” (“Stand by Me”), “I’ll have what she’s having” (“When Harry Met Sally”), “you can’t handle the truth” (“A Few Good Men”).
