"Bright" is a bloated, expensive mess, a Netflix movie with blockbuster aspirations and faerie-sized brains. Loud, derivative and thoroughly unexciting, the streaming service has thrown money at this Will Smith vehicle, and merely bought itself a whole lot of embarrassment.

Britain's Prince Harry and American actor Meghan Markle published a set of official engagement photos Thursday, the latest milestone on the road to their wedding next year.

Aaron Sorkin wrote "Moneyball," which invites comparisons to "Molly's Game," the entertaining new poker-related drama that he wrote and also directed. The more apt benchmark, however, would be "Goodfellas," inasmuch as this fact-based movie, starring Jessica Chastain, provides a heavily narrated dissection of a criminal enterprise, from its build-up to its gradual unraveling.

"The Post" was made for this moment, in more ways than one. Not only does Steven Spielberg's crisp retelling of the Pentagon Papers story call attention to journalism's highest calling, but Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham's heroic stand -- having been thrust into that position -- is a stirring portrait of courage during feminism's pre-Roe v. Wade era.

"The Royals" creator and showrunner Mark Schwahn has been fired from the series following a suspension in November after colleagues accused him of sexual harassment

This Christmas, thank you notes from the de Peyster family of Wellesley, Massachusetts, will be one of a kind.

After nearly a decade break from movie musicals, Zac Efron is making his return to the genre a meaningful one.

"All the Money in the World" certainly earns points -- and merits curiosity -- for its sheer logistics, having replaced Kevin Spacey at the eleventh hour in the wake of sexual-misconduct allegations. Yet Christopher Plummer's admirable performance and the high degree of difficulty aren't enough to make director Ridley Scott's movie about the famous 1973 kidnapping feel as if it delivers a wholly satisfactory payoff.

Val Kilmer has gone from denying he had cancer to being much more open about his diagnosis.

'The Post' screenwriters Liz Hannah and Josh Singer talk about the birth of the year's most timely film and how it 'celebrates values that are key to democracy.'

The sequel to "Mamma Mia!" gives us the origin tale we've been needing.

Andra Day and Common perform their Grammy and Critics' Choice nominated song, 'Stand Up For Something,' at the 11th annual CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute.

Khloe Kardashian has finally come clean with her baby news and shared the first picture of her baby bump.

"Pitch Perfect 3" is hoping to strike the right note with audiences once again.

Sisters are doing it for themselves in "Ocean's 8."

Actor Matt Damon is receiving backlash for his controversial comments saying that the recent wave of sexual misconduct allegations don't all carry the same weight.

In the end, it came down to a 23-year-old rocker from Nashville, Tennessee, and a 16-year-old crooner from Fort Wayne, Indiana.

"The Greatest Showman" isn't the greatest show on Earth, but it's a pretty good one, and as an original musical for kids weaned on animation, one of those rare live-action commodities that really does invite family viewing. It's not "La La Land," despite a shared pedigree, but the movie's buoyancy does offer similar moments of gravity-defying escapism.

Aaron Sorkin has told stories about presidents, dedicated news people and some of modern history's greatest technology innovators.

"Downsizing" is a bit too big for its britches -- a movie that wrestles with several provocative themes, then seemingly draws back from them to pursue more conventional ones. Director Alexander Payne ultimately brings it all around to a fairly satisfying place, but that's after a perplexing journey that's at times more surreal than Gulliver's adventures in Lilliput.
