One of the first movies I can remember watching as a child was Cheaper by the Dozen, featuring an iconic performance by Steve Martin as the Baker family patriarch, Tom Baker. Not only do I still get a kick out of Martin's performance over two decades later, but also enjoy watching him as Charles-Haden Savage in Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. ...

Why the hell is Gen Z watching Suits? In a perfect world, Gen Z — nay, everyone — would be bingeing ER and losing their minds just like audiences did in 1994. TV's premier medical drama remains just that: the best of the best, with intense direction, passionate performances, and hilarious moments that are so weird they somehow ring true (never ...

Hulu's long-anticipate Freaknik documentary, aka Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told, is finally streaming, and it's a wholly enjoyable watch. Rather than lingering on the supposedly scandalous side of the festival—an annual Atlanta-based Spring Break gathered, which was initially intended only for students of historically Black colleges and...

Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan star as the famed literary characters in Baz Luhrmann's 2013 adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel of the same name, the movie explores the life of the millionaire party-thrower Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) through the eyes of his neighbor Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire). The romantic...

I'll admit that I haven't streamed a ton of new titles recently, but was fondly reminded of Yesterday after it was released on Netflix earlier this month. I remember seeing this film in theaters in 2019 alongside my father, who raised me to be an avid Beatles fan. Watching Himesh Patel's Jack Malik find himself in a world unfamiliar with the...

The X-Men are back with a brand new series on Disney+ — and features Marvel's mutants as you've seen them before! You read that right. X-Men '97 isn't a new series so much as a new season of the Saturday morning mainstay you remember from the '90s. That's actually what makes the series so great! It's the team you love, except the show is more...

We're truly in the golden age of sports documentaries. Over the past few years, Netflix has released many interesting titles (Quarterback, the Untold series, Wrestlers), but the definitive docuseries about the historic Tom Brady/Bill Belichick-led New England Patriots is on Apple TV+. Aptly titled The Dynasty: New England Patriots, the absorbing...

Let's be clear: BMX Bandits is not a good movie, nor was it a successful movie. I don't even think it's reached the level of cult classic, even if it rightly deserves to be. What BMX Bandits is, though, is available to stream on Peacock — and it stars a 16-year-old Nicole Kidman. It's not often that you get to see a legitimate film icon cut...

Streaming on-demand now and on Max beginning Friday (March 8), Wonka is a colorful, candy-coated look at how a down-on-his-luck young inventor turned into the world's greatest chocolate maker — and yes, it is a musical. Timothée Chalamet shows off his singing and dancing skills in the movie as a charismatic young Willy Wonka, and he's joined by ...
