As far as four-word thesis statements go, “Things you do matter” is about as efficient as they come. When Mike Prince (Corey Stoll) offers that sentiment up to Rian (Eva Victor) as a means of persuasion, it’s an effective blanket statement for the whole of “Billions” Season 6. The would-be benevolent billionaire makes speaks these words as an acknowledgment that none of his own actions come without consequences, however much he thinks he has the means to ignore them....

Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled the trailer for DC’s “Black Adam” starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the titular anti-hero and arch-nemesis of Shazam. “Black Adam” also stars Noah Centineo and Quintessa Swindell, who both were in attendance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 26 for the trailer premiere. Aldis Hodge plays hero Hawkman, the leader of the Justice Society of America, while Pierce Brosnan taps into the morally ambiguous Doctor Fate, a member of the Justice Society imparted with the powers of sorcery....

“I had this moment before we started shooting, where I just felt like, ‘This is going to be really hard and fucked up,’” Plaza said during a recent interview with IndieWire. “But there was something in me that felt like I needed to dive off the deep end.

Lead star Ana de Armas is placed in the films, including “All About Eve,” “Some Like It Hot,” “Don’t Bother to Knock,” and “Niagara.” The iconic “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” scene from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” is also recreated by de Armas. “Blonde” is now in theaters and premieres September 28 on Netflix....

“Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” finds its fake Kazakh journalist (plus teen daughter) pranking Americans across the country, with shocking results that often lead them to reveal embarrassing or offensive beliefs. Despite the many unnerving surprises throughout the movie, however, much about this “Borat” entry is business as usual: star Sacha Baron Cohen has been building his cringe-inducing blend of documentary and performance art for two decades, ever since “Da Ali G Show” hit HBO....

With so much Oscar season experience under his belt, Cooper has learned something important about the awards circuit: It’s “utterly meaningless.” Interview magazine recently paired Cooper with “Hamilton” and “In the Heights” actor Anthony Ramos for a frank discussion about their careers. Cooper directed Ramos in “A Star Is Born,” where the latter played the best friend of Lady Gaga’s character. When the discussion turned to awards season, Ramos and Cooper got honest about the perils of the circuit....
