But the fact remains that the Jigsaw killer’s puzzling legacy had run out of meaningful pieces by the time Rock got involved… just as it already had by the time Lionsgate first tried to exhume it with the empty-headed “Jigsaw” in 2017, and just as it already had by the time “Saw 3D” brought the saga full circle in 2010. That movie was billed as “the final chapter,” which is the Hollywood equivalent of a sports team announcing the start of an arduous rebuild; in this case, the studio responsible for one of the highest-grossing franchises in horror cinema history was effectively conceding that “Saw” would have to start over and sharpen its teeth if it had any hope of outliving the last of Jigsaw’s sadistic disciples....

For Lee, international acclaim is just the latest development in a career that has spanned more than 30 years. First discovered — Lana Turner-style — by fashion designer Ha Yong-soo while working as a cashier in a cafe in his late teens, Lee eventually transitioned from modeling to acting to great acclaim, becoming one of South Korea’s premiere actors in the process. And then came “Squid Game.” Upon its release in September 2021, the series went supersonic, sending shockwaves around the globe and spending the next 19 weeks as one of Netflix’s top 10 most streamed series....

“I wrote a ‘Star Trek’ with Tarantino, and that was a sci-fi script on which I could have fun and lean into some bigger, broader things,” Smith said. “Kirk is always just so fun. Tarantino and I had so much fun with him, because Kirk is just William Shatner, y’know? It’s like: you’re not sure who is who, so you can kinda lean into that. Because you watch Chris Pine and he’s playing Kirk, but he’s also playing William Shatner a touch....

Last year, amid anxious efforts to control a raging pandemic and a heated presidential campaign pushing tensions to a tipping point, Apple TV+ politely released a charming sitcom about an American football coach hired to helm a British soccer club. Reviews were solid, but not ecstatic. Fans were invested, but not frenzied. Apple was supportive, but there’s no way anyone at the less-than-a-year-old streamer knew what they had. Then, little by little, “Ted Lasso” started to sweep the nation....

“Killing Eve” Season 3 Official Trailer A perfect example of a trailer that is more tantalizing than the resulting show, the sneak peek at “Killing Eve’s” third season even cleverly obscures the fact that one of the heavily featured characters (spoiler!) dies in the first episode. Get excited by Villanelle’s fashion choices and deeply weirded out by her homicidal clown, because it’s pretty much all diminishing returns from there. “Perry Mason” Official Trailer Wait, wait, wait, Matthew Rhys scruffily fedora-ing around a noirish Depression-era Los Angeles AND a charismatic evangelist played by Tatiana Maslany?...
