One of HBO’s hit programs is just what the doctor ordered. According to Variety, HBO has renewed the drama In Treatment for another season. The experimental show will undergo some changes in format next year though. The series, based on an Isreali series of the same name, was rolled out in 43 half-hour segments running Monday through Friday. It appears that they’re scaling the production back a tad, though, as the network is expected to pick up 35 episodes for this new season....

With the 94th Oscars coming this March, it’s a good time to take a look at some past Academy Award winners. Disney songs and films more often than not have quite the presence at the Oscars. This year Encanto has been nominated for best original song with its beautiful piece Dos Oruguitas by Lin-Manuel Miranda. There is some great competition in this category. The nominations include Down to Joy from Belfast, Somehow You Do from Four Good Days, Be Alive from King Richard, and No Time to Die from No Time to Die....

With Black History Month and Martin Luther King Jr. Day coming up, now is the perfect time of year to reflect on the civil rights movement, how the United States has changed, what it still needs to accomplish, and how it might look in the future....

The super cute sisters talk Los Angeles, the future, and pop star boyfriends I’m pleased to report that Hilary and Haylie Duff are as cute in real life as they are on film.

The sisters do seem to have a genuine bond....

The first film in the Home Alone franchise debuted in November 1990, and follows eight-year-old Kevin’s experience after being forgotten by his family. The evening before his family leaves for Paris, Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin, is banished to the attic for derailing family dinner and wishes his family would disappear....

Stranger Things is easily one of the most well-known shows in the world, and one of Netflix’s biggest accomplishments. However, one of the things that the popular series has failed to do is execute a storyline revolving around LGBTQ+ topics. Some might say that in the ’80s, it wasn’t that talked about, so it shouldn’t matter; however, that’s simply not true. The LGBTQ+ community has been around for decades, and to excuse that because of the time period when Stranger Things is set, is a huge thumbs down....

The series broke Bridgerton’s season two record, becoming the most-watched English-language series on Netflix. The audience will have to wait until July to watch the final episodes of the story....

Spoiler Warnings: Deep WaterDeep Water, starring Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, paints the picture of what it’s like to be in a twisted, dysfunctional marriage. In the film, Vic (Affleck) allows his wife Melinda (Armas) to carry out a series of extramarital affairs in his attempt to avoid a divorce. However, the disappearance of her lovers put him at the center of speculation. Although movie watchers have their fair share of concern, as it relates to the film’s preemies and effectiveness to reach audiences, each character possesses their own flaws, which makes for an exciting thriller....

Over the years, Idra Elba has become both a powerhouse hero and a spine-chilling villain. His dominating persona paired with a meaningful emotional range makes him a beloved A-list star. Even his voice by itself is enough to draw crowds into animated movies like Zootopia, The Jungle Book, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Like much of the cast on The Wire, Elba’s career was kickstarted by the great HBO show, and has only gotten bigger and bigger ever since....

Ike Boys is an action-packed adventure full of Japanese pop culture references, anime-style animation, and sequences reminiscent of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Starring Quinn Lord (The Man in the High Castle), Ronak Gandhi (The Rookie), and Christina Higa (Am I OK?) as underdog, Japan-obsessed best friends Shawn and Vik, Ike Boys promises a coming-of-age story for fans of ’90s nostalgia and anime. Being an anime fan in 1999 was tough – sourcing taped episodes of un-subtitled shows and having them imported from Japan was no easy task....

Dark fantasy crossed with historical fiction is a particularly unique combination. Those who’ve seen Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth can certainly attest to this. Not only did it contain absolutely stunning visuals and memorable creatures, but you could argue it presented a legitimate criticism of fascism through the lens of a child’s fantasy world. It also had a scene where someone’s face was caved in with a glass bottle, but we’d rather not remember that....

I wanted to know what’s it like to film in Vancouver as Vancouver. James Roday: Well it’s easier. That’s for sure. We spend a lot of time running around and covering up signs and replacing license plates and moving fake palm trees. Dulé Hill: And flags, taking down flags. James Roday: When we shot for actual Vancouver we didn’t have to worry about any of that stuff which means we could allow our minds and the minds of some of our crew members to drift in a good way....

Warning: This article may contain spoilers for The Boys Season 3 Jensen Ackles has played two very different characters with “daddy issues” in Supernatural’s Dean Winchester and The Boys’ Soldier Boy. When asked which of the two he believes has the deeper grievances with their father, the actor didn’t take long to decide which was the winner; Soldier Boy. Having played one of the Winchester brothers across 15 seasons of Supernatural, and now providing a narrative voice to prequel series The Winchesters, Ackles’ character always had a complex relationship with his dad, John, who was played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but that is nothing compared to the messed-up nature of his latest on-screen persona....

Action films are best known for their fast-paced scenes and slow-motion shots. Masterclass describes the genre as caring more about the execution of the plot rather than the plot itself. For these reasons, it makes sense that many moviegoers love the genre. Jessica Chastain is an Oscar-winner and talented actress who has become a master of a few genres, including action. In fact, a handful of her best movies have come from her performances in action films....
