When it comes to its prime-time lineup, CBS has become so conservative it makes that town from “Footloose” seem downright forward thinking.
For a movie about three intelligent women — well, two intelligent women and an amiable assemblage of curves played by model Kate Upton — “The Other Woman” is disappointingly, disturbingly dumb.
There’s no feuding and no sleeping around as “Nashville: On the Record” (10 p.m. Wednesday, KTNV-TV, Channel 13) features cast members in concert at the legendary Ryman Auditorium.
In the wake of sexual abuse allegations against him, executive producer Bryan Singer’s name has been removed from the advertising for the new drama, debuting at 10 p.m. Thursday on KTNV-TV, Channel 13. That has to rank among the best news Singer has received in the past week.
Matthew McConaughey had the McConaissance.
Jude Law is barely recognizable as the magnificently bearded title character — picture Fisher Stevens replacing Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” — a paunchy, bellowing, red-faced embodiment of hypertension.
It’s hard to quantify “Transcendence” as a success. It’s a good popcorn movie, but it’s never as smart as it needs to be.
Billy Bob Thornton and Martin Freeman star in what is not a remake the 1996 Coen brothers’ classic, but worthy to be called the second truly must-see new series of 2014.
David Duchovny’s debauched Hank Moody began driving his beloved black Porsche into the sunset on Sunday to start the Showtime comedy’s final season.
As it kicks off its ninth season, the Bravo series wastes little time unearthing the stupid.
Michelle Thompson vividly recalls attending a festival in Las Vegas and watching 42 straight short films without seeing a single black face on the screen.
The ferociously intense “The Raid: Redemption” was an instant classic. But writer-director Gareth Evans went and mucked things up by giving “The Raid 2” a plot. Still, there’s plenty to like in the sequel.
Kevin Costner has made great sports movies (“Bull Durham” and “Field of Dreams”). He’s made good sports movies (“For Love of the Game” and “Tin Cup”). And he’s made “Draft Day.”
After rebranding itself as “the first TV home for the social media generation,” the cable channel has announced a new batch of shows — full of “likes” and viral videos — that should sound truly horrifying, at least for anyone older than, say, 25.
