Last Chance U Basketball On Netflix And The Great Colby Ranch Episode

Where to Watch ‘Last Chance U: Basketball’: Netflix I would never endorse skipping to the end of a show (or even the middle), but if for some reason you started “Last Chance U: Basketball” at the fifth of its eight episodes, you’d be diving into something unexpected. You won’t find the last-second dramatics of pulse-pounding free throws or prayers at the buzzer. You’ll see the 2019-2020 East Los Angeles College Huskies men’s basketball team dealing with what head coach John Mosley calls “friction....

Something Good Negro Kiss Accounting For Lost Black Films

One such example is “Something Good — Negro Kiss,” the recently discovered 1898 silent film believed to be the earliest cinematic depiction of affection between an African American man and woman. Groundbreaking for its time, the well-dressed couple, on screen for about 30 seconds, appear in a joyous embrace, hugging and kissing, swinging wide their tightly grasped hands, and then kissing again. Identification of the film and its historical significance was made by University of Chicago’s Dr....

The Wilds Season 2 Trailer The Stranded Boys Group Is Revealed

So begins “The Wilds” Season 2 trailer, confirming the cliffhanger ending of the first Prime Video season, which premiered in December 2020. The gendered social experiment “The Rise of Eve” led to the discovery of the all-male “control group,” which eerily mirrors the girls’ group, consisting of Sarah Pidgeon, Helena Howard, Mia Healey, Erana James, Sophia Taylor Ali, Shannon Berry, Reign Edwards, and Jenna Clause. “Brothers and Sisters” alum Rachel Griffiths stars as the mastermind scientist behind the boundary-pushing experiment to create a utopia....

Woody Allen Soon Yi Previn Condemn Hbo Doc As Shoddy Hit Piece

“These documentarians had no interest in the truth,” Allen and Previn’s joint statement reads (via THR). “Instead, they spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods. Woody and Soon-Yi were approached less than two months ago and given only a matter of days ‘to respond.’ Of course, they declined to do so.” The statement continues, “As has been known for decades, these allegations are categorically false....

All Together Now Review Auli I Cravalho In Tender Netflix Dramedy

High school senior Amber Appleton (a charming Auli’i Cravalho who, of course, gets to sing) isn’t just a do-gooder, she’s a do-everythinger. She’s got a gig teaching ESL to a pack of older immigrants (mostly, they sing their new language), a job at an old folks’ home (where Carol Burnett’s delightfully crochety Joan lives), another job at a local donut shop (managed by a dude she just tutored through his GED accreditation process), and she appears to be her high school’s most reliable crusader for all manner of issues (from supporting the drama club to lobbying to make sure the marching band gets a new tuba)....

Back To Life Season 2 Review Nothing Like Daisy Haggard Showtime Show

Many stories are quick to get a “dark comedy” label simply because their characters joke about the underbelly of human nature or embrace concepts of mortality in a far more head-on way than expected. Through the experiences of Miri Matteson (played by series co-writer Daisy Haggard) in “Back to Life,” those are daily confrontations. Still something of a town pariah after an 18-year prison sentence in connection with the death of her childhood friend, Miri’s gradual reintroduction to life in her family’s seaside Kent town comes with metaphorical training wheels....
