It’s hard to get more timely than the ambitious new drama, even though it was first sold as a feature script all the way back in 2005.

“Real People” creator John Barbour has a new memoir that recounts his lengthy career in showbiz.
The 15-month delay between the end of its third season and the start of its fourth makes “Vegas Rat Rods” sound like “Game of Thrones.”
One of the least likely sequels since “Weekend at Bernie’s 2,” “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” seems engineered for maximum confusion.
If a mosquito bit Steven Spielberg around the time he was making “Jurassic Park,” then became trapped in amber until some nut with more money than forethought extracted the DNA from it and cloned an early ’90s version of Spielberg, well, that’s the guy I could see directing “Ready Player One.”
The difference between “favorite” and “best” can be as wide as the alleged chasm between critics and moviegoers over the merits of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
Despite what you’ll see on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night, not everyone wants to leave home on New Year’s Eve.
You’ve already devoured “Stranger Things 2,” and it isn’t even Halloween. So now what?
Spend even five minutes on social media, and you’ll walk away convinced the world is nuttier than it’s ever been.
Skip the pool parties and the cookouts — and the heatstroke — with a series of marathons that will keep you in front of the air-conditioning.
How do Hollywood studios distract theater owners from the fact that they’re once again exploring faster ways of getting films to consumers in their homes, thus endangering the very existence of movie theaters?
“Inferno” puts the buttoned-up Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) in a situation very similar to that of another action hero who returned to theaters this year after a long absence. Think of him as Jason Bore.
No other series I can think of has dealt with such serious topics as clinical depression and PTSD in ways that are heartbreaking and hilarious, sometimes simultaneously. Deep down, there’s a surprising amount of heart for a show about people so very badly damaged.
You don’t buy a ticket for a Jason Bourne movie for its social commentary. You do it for the chases and the carnage. And on those counts, “Jason Bourne” delivers.
After playing the killing machine known as Jason Bourne in 2002’s “The Bourne Identity,” 2004’s “The Bourne Supremacy” and 2007’s “The Bourne Ultimatum,” actor Matt Damon walked away from the role. Or so he thought.
