Sosie Bacon stars as Rose Cotter, a doctor who works in an emergency psychiatric unit and has carried a heavy burden since she witnessed her mother’s suicide at ten years old. Her mental health begins to deteriorate after she assesses a young woman named Laura (Caitlin Stasey) who is brought in for witnessing a suicide. Frantic and begging for someone to believe her, Laura tells Rose that she is being taunted by a being that only she can see; one that smiles and changes its appearance all while delivering a death threat....

Here’s the official synopsis: “Set in the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, ‘Social Distance’ is an eight-part anthology series that showcases the power of the human spirit in the face of uncertainty and isolation. Each standalone episode is told through a virtual lens and captures the unique emotional experience of being forced apart by circumstance and having no choice but to communicate remotely and rely on technology to maintain any sense of connection....

According to The New York Times, Lie Kaas’ voice role in the Danish “Soul” release led to scholars and activists using the national newspaper Berlingske to explain how “the casting was an example of structural racism.” The article resulted in “a fiery controversy, prompting Lie Kaas to issue a statement about why he had accepted the role.” “My position with regards to any job is very simple,” Lie Kaas wrote on Facebook....

Despite the fact that he had only moments before been telling Kendall about his plans to use him as a meat shield in the public forum, Logan is shocked that his son would think such a thing. That boy’s death didn’t mean anything. Kendall shouldn’t punish himself for that business. And then he invokes a phrase previously established as an acronym used to cover up scandals in the Waystar Royco cruise division — NRPI....

While the drama unraveling on HBO’s Emmy Award-winning drama “Succession” isn’t quite on the scale of a Russian literary epic, it’s not far off. The progeny of Logan Roy (Brian Cox) are forever in conflict, both with each other and their father, jockeying for position and cutting each other off at the knees, in the hopes of landing control of the family’s global media empire (and/or a kiss from daddy....

Perifel previously worked as an animator on “Kung Fu Panda 2” (which contained a 2D-animated sequence) and co-directed the DreamWorks short “Bilby” (which had some graphic touches). But after the handmade fur and felt vibe for the “Trolls” films, DreamWorks was ready to double down on 2D stylization for “The Bad Guys.” Best described as “Zootopia” meets “Oceans 11,” “The Bad Guys” features a crew of animal outlaws attempting to go straight — until they’re framed for the heist of a rare meteorite....

Warner Bros. Discovery announced the sequel to the 2022 hit that has earned the company $760 millon globally. Also announced is Matt Reeves’ return to direct the follow-up film, which will expand upon Warner Bros.’ sprawling Gotham universe. Plot details remain under wraps. Sequel plans were inevitable following the film’s massive box office success since its March 4 release date, and the 45-day theatrical window before premiering on Warner Bros....

Comey’s choices — again, as framed by the series — all seem idiotic in hindsight, but they’re all based in a belief in American virtues. As a man who sees his job as “catching bad guys,” he holds himself to a defined moral standard and expects his peers to do the same. Aside from wishing Comey had spent a few more Sunday nights watching “Veep,” what our infuriating protagonist doesn’t know is the same thing very few of us knew prior to the 2016 election: that the old rules don’t apply; that the monster we’re fighting isn’t restricted by the laws of humanity (or human decency); that Donald Trump is coming, and just as a kitchen knife won’t stop a ghost, propriety and “best intentions” can’t be counted on to keep him in check....

Oh Cassie, when will you learn? Kaley Cuoco returns as flight attendant Cassie Bowden, who has moved to Los Angeles, started a new relationship, and entered Alcoholics Anonymous since solving an international murder case in the critically acclaimed last season. HBO Max’s “The Flight Attendant” was nominated for nine Emmys, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Cuoco. Now for Season 2, which premieres April 21, the “Big Bang Theory” alum returns as well-meaning Cassie, who once again witnesses a murder while abroad — but this time, she’s moonlighting as a CIA operative....

God bless the bakers, every one, and that herd mentality that drove them all into the kitchen to bake loaf after loaf of bread, leaving flour and yeast in short supply. (Carbohydrate levels, however, had never been higher.) The point is, when people were faced with trying times, they sought distraction. They wanted comfort. And they’re in luck because the most delectable slice of pop culture comfort food has returned, as Netflix airs the latest season of “The Great British Baking Show,” which is currently the best distraction from 2020 and the best representation of the year itself: It’s stress baking, anxiety, and cake fails all the way down, baby....

The stars got married after working together in “The Long, Hot Summer,” but saw the trajectories of both of their careers change throughout their 50-year marriage. When they first married, she was a much bigger star, having just won an Oscar. But Newman soon entered the stratosphere with roles in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and “The Hustler,” and his status only climbed higher over the next several decades....

Fortunately for Warner Bros., “The Little Things” should have no problem being a huge draw on streaming considering it brings together three Oscar winners: Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jared Leto. The film, written by Hancock, stars Washington and Malek as a pair of Los Angeles cops who clash while investigating a grisly murder. Leto’s character is the prime suspect. The supporting cast includes Natalie Morales, Terry Kinney, Chris Bauer, Joris Jarsky, Isabel Arraiza, and Michael Hyatt....

“Dying: A Memoir” comes to mind early and often while watching Mike Flanagan’s latest Netflix series, “The Midnight Club,” but it’s less of a companion piece than a vastly superior delivery device of a similar message. Co-created by Flanagan and Leah Fong (with Flanagan a co-writer on every episode, save for one entry penned only by his brother, Jamie Flanagan) the 10-episode series is adapted from Christopher Pike’s 1994 novel of the same name (as well as the author’s other works)....

The Oscar-winning Rylance (“Bridge of Spies”) plays Leonard, an English tailor who used to craft bespoke suits on London’s famed Savile Row. He heads to Chicago after a personal tragedy, where he operates a tailor shop in a rough part of town, making beautiful clothes for the only people in the neighborhood who can afford them: a family of gangsters. Also starring are O’Brien (“The Maze Runner”), Zoey Deutch (“Set It Up”), Johnny Flynn (“Emma”), Simon Russell Beale (“The Hollow Crown”), and Nikki Amuka-Bird (“NW”)....

There’s no wider Starling Expanded Universe out there — bad news for a bossy blackbird that appears in the film’s opening credits — and while the finality of the film’s conclusion doesn’t entirely feel earned (or, frankly, even that possible), there’s something charming about this fairy tale-esque story that knows how to end on a “happily ever after.” First, however, there is a very angry starling, a very sad couple, and also Kevin Kline as a therapist-turned-vet, which is an unconventional enough career path, but certainly one befitting the needs of any quirky dramedy worth its stripes....

“The Suicide Squad” opened July 30 in the United Kingdom and was given a 15 age rating due to “strong bloody violence, gore, language and brief drug misuse.” As reported by The Independent, the lower rating has ignited controversy for the BBFC. Journalist Adam Lowes wrote on social media, “What the fuck do you have to do to earn an ‘18’ certificate nowadays?” The BBFC defended the rating in a statement to The Independent that reads: “Whilst comparatively more violent than the last film, the violence is mitigated by the film’s humor and the action-packed fantasy context....

Dubbed a female version of “Braveheart,” the film is directed by Gina Prince-Blythewood (“Love & Basketball”) and written by Dana Stevens. Davis plays General Nanisca, who led the all-women warriors in defense of the West African kingdom Dahomey in present-day Benin during the 18th and 19th centuries. Lashana Lynch, John Boyega, and Thuso Mbedu also star. In the trailer, Davis leads a tribe as white settlers arrive in Africa. Nanisca (Davis) warns that the colonizers won’t stop until they own the entirety of Africa, leading King Ghezo (Boyega) to ask if starting a war is worth it....

“Thor: Love and Thunder” takes inspiration from “The Mighty Thor,” an acclaimed comic book run from Jason Aaron that sees Jane Foster become a Thunder God herself. While Jane Foster was purely a supporting character in earlier films, fans can expect to see her wielding Thor’s hammer and getting in on the action in Waititi’s new movie. Portman’s return to the “Thor” universe is a major coup for Waititi, and his excitement was palpable in a new interview with Empire when he discussed working with the “Black Swan” star....

Shimon Hayut, who went by Simon Leviev on social media, was dubbed “The Tinder Swindler” by a Netflix documentary of the same name after allegedly scamming multiple women for a total of $10 million. Hayut used the alter ego Leviev name claiming he was the son of the Israeli Russian diamond tycoon Lev Leviev. As of March 1, the real-life Leviev and his family filed a lawsuit against Hayut for impersonating their name and using it to build up his own image....

The film will have quite the rollout, as it has been confirmed to play out of competition at Cannes next month, a longtime goal of the festival’s programmers. But before the film goes to France, it had to make a stop in Vegas. CinemaCon attendees got their first look at the full film, and reactions were across-the-board stunning for the first-ever screening, with praise for the movie’s throwback calls to the original, its aerial cinematography, and its heart-on-its-sleeve storyline....
