Falcon And Winter Soldier Finale Review Ending Falls Flat Spoilers

Is it possible to agree with everything a show is trying to say about generational trauma, income inequality, and the dangers of nationalism, and simultaneously struggle with the way in which it uses the medium of television to espouse those thoughts? The obvious answer is, “Of course — the objective truths of our world differ from the subjective views of art.” Which is what makes viewing the final episode of “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” (Season 1?...

Fear Street 1666 Review Part 3 Of Netflix Trilogy Gets Curious Ending

Her heart truly belongs, though, to the pastor’s daughter, despite obvious reasons why they can never be together. If parts of this start to feel familiar, it’s helped along by the fact that the cast of “1666” are all “reprising” their roles from the previous two chapters. Sarah’s brother (Benjamin Flores Jr.) has the same face as the boy firing up proto-AIM and surviving a supermarket axe attack. A jaunt through the town square reveals Fred Hechinger, Sadie Sink, and Emily Rudd — previous denizens of Shadyside summer camps and high schools — as those playing the folks who live nearby....

Switzerland? No. It’s Uttarakhand, a state in the north of India, nestled along the western border of Nepal.

Noé’s new short, clocking in at just under eight minutes, is anything but a for-hire assignment. Instead, it’s a wholly Noé-esque experience and totally disorienting, even on a small screen. Oh, and it stars icon Charlotte Rampling, bedecked in fabulous couture and haunting the halls of a crimson-dipped mansion sprawling with eerie atmospherics. “A world bathed by a red, hazy, velvety light, reminiscent of the glory years of Giallo,” said a press release courtesy of Saint Laurent....

Gillian Anderson On X Files Sexism Potential Reboot

Anderson received the Variety Icon Award at CannesSeries, where she opened up about the highs and lows of playing FBI Agent Dana Scully. While she acknowledged that many fans view her “X-Files” character as something of a feminist icon, Anderson revealed that she does not necessarily see it that way. “I don’t think it was as clear-cut in my mind as being, ‘Oh, this is a feminist character,’” Anderson said. “I think that it was more of just, ‘This is a woman that I haven’t seen before on television, and she’s so unique....

The Grammy winner stars opposite Emma Corrin in “My Policeman,” a 1957-set period piece about a love triangle between a closeted cop (Styles), his wife (Corrin), and a museum curator (David Dawson). “It’s obviously pretty unfathomable now to think, ‘Oh, you couldn’t be gay.
