"Disenchanted" asks the existential question, "What comes after 'Happily Ever After?,'" which is, naturally, a sequel ... only (because it's 15 years later) for streaming. Amy Adams nimbly steps back into the role of an animated princess trying to adapt to the live-action world, in an epilogue to "Enchanted" that has moments of magic without completely delivering on the premise.
Meredith Grey is saying goodbye to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital when "Grey's Anatomy" returns in February, but Ellen Pompeo has already started the farewell parade.
"Jeopardy!" fans are confused and more than a little miffed after a controversial Final Jeopardy! clue divided contestants in the final rounds of the program's "Tournament of Champions." This is the second clue controversy the program has faced in just a few days.
The hard work of journalism doesn't always readily translate to the screen, a problem magnified as doors slammed in faces has been supplanted by cellphone hang-ups and ignored texts. "She Said" nevertheless joins a long tradition of movies about dogged reporters exposing injustice, and in this case helping spawn a sweeping movement.
A movie about dreams becomes the stuff of nightmares in Netflix's utterly misguided "Slumberland," an attempt to build a sprawling fantasy adventure from the bones of the early-20th-century newspaper comic strip. Most notable as a vehicle for Jason Momoa, this wannabe spectacle from "The Hunger Games" director Francis Lawrence serves up lots of special effects desperately in search of a story.
"Bones and All" mashes up a lot of genres, coupled with the promise of a "Call Me By Your Name" mini-reunion of director Luca Guadagnino and Timothée Chalamet, until now the star less likely to appear in a story with the word "cannibal" in it. A road movie about youthful flesh-eaters finding love (the title "Fine Young Cannibals" comes to mind), it's a strange and intriguing but ultimately unsatisfying stew.
Brendan Fraser, who has garnered considerable awards buzz for his starring turn in next month's "The Whale," says he does not plan on attending the next Golden Globes ceremony, citing his "history" with the organization in a new interview.
At one point during Mike Birbiglia's new Broadway show, "The Old Man and The Pool," he jokingly scolds the audience for laughing over a story about the death of a man in a YMCA pool. He stares, he admonishes, he reminds the crowd what, exactly, they're laughing at. And then he pauses. The crowd can't stop laughing. One after another, someone's howl becomes contagious, and the laughter keeps going for several minutes as Birbiglia watches.
