“I got my heart broken a little bit,” the American-British actor said. “I went from being a naive boy to growing up… How could I ever imagine that it was going to be a pure experience?” He added, “There are millions of dollars at stake and that’s what guides the ship. It was a big awakening and it hurt.” (For context, the first Garfield Spidey film grossed more than $758 million worldwide, while the second amassed just above $709 million....

Best Picture: I am always an outlier. I always presume anything I’m enthusiastic about won’t get in. Ten choices was an extreme stretch. What I wanted included five international titles and two documentaries. On top of this ballot: “Licorice Pizza,” “Drive My Car,” and “Don’t Look Up,” which I enjoyed as a fun, relevant, and poignant ride. “King Richard” is a good biopic: It told a story you think you know, but it turns out you don’t....

The first few minutes of the show — after a quick context-free cold open, a trick each successive episode subverts to varying degrees of success — introduce Dan Turner (Mamoudou Athie), an employee at the Museum of the Moving Image who gets a mysterious, out-of-the-blue job offer. At the behest of an enigmatic CEO (Martin Donovan), Dan is soon whisked away upstate for peculiar contract work. At a remote facility, working as a crew of one, Dan meticulously cleans and respools fire-damaged footage of an interview series conducted at a New York apartment building back in 1994....

While many fans were thrilled to get an early look at the soon-to-be-iconic costumes, others were concerned about having the film spoiled for them — but according to Gerwig, there’s nothing to worry about. In a new red carpet interview with Variety, the director promised that the leaked outfits are “not even close” to everything that Gosling wears in the film. She expressed gratitude for the strong fan reaction to the early photos, and promised that there is a lot more to come....

Chances are you are probably purging your home of unnecessary items after spending more time inside due to the pandemic. That’s great, because it just means you’ll have more room to fill your bookshelves (or DVD shelves or wherever you store your physical media) with these excellent Black Friday deals. We’ve scoured the internet for rock-bottom prices on some truly incredible films and TV shows, from major action movies like “Black Widow,” “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” and “Jurassic World” to the massive Criterion-curated collection from Ingmar Bergman that is marked down 50% or more....

At the same time, “Better Call Saul” was never going to be able to ignore its fellow Albuquerque show completely. Doing so would fall somewhere between foolishness and hubris. The idea that Jimmy McGill’s own turn for the worse could come fully independently of another six-season arc in recent memory, involving some of the same key players, just wasn’t feasible. So co-creators Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan helped fashion a show that was less a sibling living in a shadow and more a friend shaking hands with a neighbor....

Crudup is also absorbing his first-ever Emmy nomination (Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series) for a rare television role, the devilishly disruptive network executive Cory Ellison on “The Morning Show.” Crudup, who grew up on ’70s movies like “Fort Apache the Bronx,” “The Verdict,” and “Norma Rae,” tends to gravitate toward roles like “Almost Famous” and “Big Fish” that offer “the sociopolitical part of a fully balanced meal,” he said....
