Academy Award–winning director Megan Mylan has spanned the globe before in search of a compelling story, whether to unsung corners of India (“Smile Pinki”) or Africa (“Lost Boys of the Sudan”). “Simple as Water” takes Mylan and her team (including cinematographers Lars Skree, Michael Chin, and Rafia Salameh, who bring an observant yet never invasive eye to the proceedings) to five countries: Turkey, Greece, Germany, Syria, and eventually the United States....

The new Apple TV+ drama “Slow Horses” inflates that dynamic, centering its story on a ragtag band of intelligence-gathering misfits, the collective low rung on Britain’s MI-5 ladder. Their gruff leader Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) – to call him a curmudgeon seems wholly inadequate – rules his rundown makeshift office suite by berating his staff of castoffs. One particular target of his misanthropy: River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), whose recent glaring professional gaffe has taken him from potential prime field agent work to sifting through a journalist’s trash bags....

Following the departure announcements for longtime cast members Pete Davidson, Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, and Kyle Mooney, breakout star Bowen Yang detailed the “so emotional” last day on set with the Season 47 cast during May 21 finale. Davidson, McKinnon, Mooney, and Bryant were “distinct presences, distinct voices, and four people who were sort of the best to ever do it,” Yang told Entertainment Tonight. “It is just these four people who have defined what that show is in the last decade,” Yang added, citing that McKinnon had been on the show for 11 seasons, Bryant for 10, Mooney for nine, and Davidson for eight....

Steve-O said he was “in shock” when he heard that Knoxville was planning on a fourth “Jackass” movie after a 10-year hiatus. In the years since 2011’s “Jackass 3.5,” Steve-O focused on touring as a stand-up comedian and building a popular YouTube channel. As a result, he felt entitled to more compensation for a return to his “Jackass” roots. “You know, frankly, I felt that over the last 10 years that I’d really worked extremely hard to build momentum for myself as a brand in my own right....

Never has a ride in a luxury automobile across the Italian countryside at freaking sunset felt so agonizingly unending.
