'Veep' returns to the comedy trail

7 years 6 months ago
"Game of Thrones" isn't the only HBO stalwart coming to an end this spring, as "Veep" begins its final campaign. The network has paired it with a worthy running mate in season two of "Barry," the dark comedy about a hit man suddenly bitten by the acting bug.

'The Highwaymen' flips script on 'Bonnie and Clyde' and fires blanks

7 years 6 months ago
What looks like a can't-miss concept -- the aging lawmen who hunted down Bonnie and Clyde -- yields a dutiful, uninspired movie in "The Highwaymen," pairing Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson as the taciturn Texas Rangers called out of retirement, which roughly approximates what will likely be the film's target demo.

Steve Bannon has become an alluring target for documentarians, with the former White House strategist and Trump campaign chief providing ample access to two filmmakers. While Errol Morris' coolly received "American Dharma" awaits distribution, director Alison Klayman unleashes "The Brink," an intimate look at the firebrand suddenly thrust into the political wilderness.

7 years 6 months ago
"What We Do in the Shadows" won't be everybody's cup of tea -- or warm blood -- but like the little-seen independent movie upon which this FX series is based, it should work its spell on a devoted cult following. Quirky, droll and surprisingly dry given its preoccupation with drinking, the show serves up an amusing riff on vampire lore, and as a bonus, living in Staten Island.
