Some families are blessed and born into wealth and privilege, ala the royal Roys; others have to fight tooth and nail for scraps to survive. And some, born from tragedy but still ambitious— maybe believing a cruel and sh*tty world owes them—well, they might be willing to do anything, sell their souls even, for everything they’ve dreamt of.

‘Sex Education’ Season 4 Review: The Netflix Teen Show’s Final Season Is Messy, Imperfect, And Heartfelt – Just Like Growing Up

All good things must come to an end, and after a two-year wait, Netflix‘s “Sex Education” returns for its fourth and final season. It’s always bittersweet when a fan-favorite show wraps up, but in the case of a series as inclusive, intelligent, and big-hearted as this one, it’s an end particularly hard to take.

‘Succession’: Creator Jesse Armstrong Says He Nearly Split Season 4 Into Two Parts Before Deciding On A “Full-Fat” Final Season

With “Succession” over, HBO has an opening for its next premier drama. There are couple of candidates for the slot already, like “The Last Of Us” and “The White Lotus.” But if “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong had cut the show’s final season in two, as he considered doing at one point, HBO wouldn’t have a gap to fill at all.

‘No One Will Save You’: Kaitlyn Dever Doesn’t Speak In A Lifeless ‘A Quiet Place’-Like One Trick Pony Thriller

“No One Will Save You,” the 20th Century Studios alien/home invasion thriller, is one of the year’s most strangely curious, oddly shaped films. Also acting as a thinly drawn character mystery, it’s bold and risk-taking in its structure.

David S. Goyer Confirms He Developed ‘Blade’ With David Fincher Before ‘Se7en’

Like many filmmakers, the lost and unmade movie list of David Fincher list is long, so long we did an entire feature out of it back in 2014, and it’s more than 30 films long. The list includes “Black Dahlia” (which Brian DePalma eventually made), “Mission Impossible 3,” “20,000 Leagues Under The Sea” and more (interestingly enough, both “Mank” and “The Killer” were on it, then-unrealized projects that seemed like they would never get made).

France Surprises Selecting ‘The Taste Of Things’ Over ‘Anatomy Of A Fall’ For Oscars

Perhaps the French selection committee knows something we don’t, but they turned the race or the International Film Oscar on its head today. Instead of selecting Justine Triet’s Palme d’Or winner, “Anatomy of a Fall,” a likely Best Picture nominee, the group picked Tran Anh Hung’s sublime but terribly re-titled “The Taste of Things” (still known as “The Pot-au-Feu” in the rest of the world) instead.

You’ll recall in 2013, one of the most anticipated movies of what would have been the next year suddenly fell apart, much to the chagrin of cinephiles everywhere.

‘Sicario’ Producers Confirm That A Third Film With Benicio Del Toro Is On The Way

It’s been five years since Stefano Sollima‘s “Sicario: Day Of The Soldado,” the sequel to Denis Villeneuve‘s much-heralded 2015 film. But critics didn’t take to the 2018 sequel like they did to Villeneuve’s original, which suggests the franchise won’t continue.

‘Griselda’ Trailer: Sofía Vergara Plays the Godmother Of The Miami Drug Cartel In January-Set Netflix Series

It sucks when it always has to frame Latinx and Hispanic people as drug lords—and it’s often the only kind of representation they get in film and television—but the flip side is that it’s nice to see something like “Narcos” become its own cottage industry and give roles to Latinx people (yes, that’s contradictory and complicated—crime always fascinates the public— but such is life, and sometimes it’s one step at a time or progress.
