It's a quiet, spring-like day on a recent Monday afternoon as cars rush by on Woodward Avenue outside Unorthodox Club, an unassuming Detroit nightclub near Seven Mile. But inside, there's drama with a capital D, and tension is mounting as yet another turf war over the club's ownership rights is set to erupt between rival parties. It's all part of the storyline of "The Dirty D," the tawdry Detroit soap opera that is filming episodes for its third season, which is set to debut in April on Tubi.
In "The New Look," a period drama from Apple TV+, Maisie Williams stars as Catherine Dior, a woman who has received less attention than her older brother, legendary fashion designer Christian Dior, but is every bit as fascinating.
"3 Body Problem," which premiered Thursday on Netflix, is catnip for fans of its original source, Liu Cixin's "Remembrance of Earth's Past" trilogy. But for the rest of us, it sounds as enticing as a colonoscopy. In addition to a terrible title, it's burdened with a geeky premise: Physicists who would rather gossip about Sir Isaac Newton than Taylor Swift are tasked with stopping an alien invasion that's 400 years away. Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring" plays a significant role. Galileo pops up as comic relief.
I have not read Juliet McDaniel's 2018 novel "Mr. and Mrs. American Pie," which is nominally the basis of a new miniseries, "Palm Royale," but it's clear from the publisher's synopsis that it's a completely different story — though one that someone decided could be rebuilt into diverting, even brilliant television. As indeed it has been.
Doug Liman’s reboot of the cult classic 1989 action flick “Road House” streams on Prime Video Thursday, March 21, reimagining the Patrick Swayze-starring flick about a bouncer who’s a “fighting philosopher,” starring Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role.
Netflix will stream this year’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, marking the second time the star-studded event has switched broadcasters in the past two years - and the first time it’s prioritized streaming.
With the 2024 Oscars in the books, some cinephiles might be ready to move on to new films, but others may want to catch up with the winners they have yet to see. Fortunately, many of the winningest films from Hollywood’s biggest night are available to stream, so it’s easy to watch (or rewatch) the best films of 2023.
Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson will fight boxing influencer Jake Paul on July 20 in Arlington, Texas. The bout is scheduled to take place three weeks after Tyson’s 58th birthday. Paul is 27 years old. Even Netflix, which will be live-streaming the fight, seemed surprised in their announcement of the showdown.
Whether it involves a looming work project, an attempt to lose 10 pounds before a high-school reunion or the dread of filling out tax forms, we’re all familiar with deadlines. So it was only natural that some enterprising producer would shape a program around the idea.
The iconic Kristen Stewart stars in “Love Lies Bleeding,” a gritty, sexy desert noir directed by Rose Glass, which is hitting theaters after a splashy Sundance premiere in January. It’s the first time Stewart has done a dark crime film like this, but the actress, who has been working since childhood, is known for experimenting with different kinds of roles and working with daring directors, signaling to the world that she’s no longer Bella from “Twilight” anymore. Here’s a rundown of some of her best films and where to stream them.
An upside to Adam Sandler’s long-standing business relationship with streaming behemoth Netflix is that it’s given the beloved funnyman room to experiment. Over the course of his deal with Netflix, he’s turned in several of his silly ensemble comedies with his best pals, shot in exotic locations, but the Sandman has increasingly turned to more diverse content across the board. Just last year, he premiered the animated feature “Leo,” and “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,” starring his daughters Sunny and Sadie, and wife Jackie. But what’s more fascinating is when Sandler turns away from comedy entirely, embracing the more dramatic side of his performance range and working with surprising new filmmakers.
Wendy Williams, who left her daytime talk show amid health and personal struggles two years ago, has been diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.
It’s been nine years since HBO (now called Max) aired the first season of the limited series “True Detective.” Created by the writer/director/producer Nic Pizzolatto, the series attracted reviews that bordered on ecstatic.
“Are you watching ‘The Traitors’?” – it’s the question everyone seems to be asking each other this winter, as Season 2 of the reality competition show on Peacock has gripped audiences every Thursday night. The first season of “The Traitors,” set in a Scottish castle and hosted flamboyantly by actor Alan Cumming, aired last year, and while it was a bit of a sensation, it didn’t capture audiences the way the second season has. In fact, “The Traitors” Season 2 had the biggest debut for an original reality series on Peacock, likely due to the word-of-mouth buzz from the first season, as well as the all-star cast of infamous reality TV personalities.
