The tension at the core ofEva Longoria’s sentimental yet superficial directorial debutFlamin’ Hot, a film that bills itself as being the true story of the man who claims to have invented “Flamin' Hot Cheetos,” is in how we feel about the very nature of truth and whether a general honesty can be undercut by this story’s possibly specific one. In the film, the more resonant truth is that the determined Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia) is a good guy like many others in the world who ought not be defined by his lack of opportunities that would otherwise hold him and others like him back....

There were a few things I realized after watchingThe Godfatherand thenThe Godfather Part IIfor the first time. One was that even with so many pop culture references (frommaking orders one can’t refuseto horse heads found in beds), there’s still something unpredictable and energizing about the first time you watchFrancis Ford Coppola’scareer-defining films. I wasn’t surprised by the Fredo (John Cazale) betrayal nor was I shocked by Michael’s (Al Pacino) slow moral deterioration....

To celebrate the premiere of the third season ofThe Mandalorian, Lucasfilm has released two new posters for the show featuring Din Djarin (voiced byPedro Pascal) and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff). The characters appear divided by the Darksaber’s blade, with Grogu by Djarin’s side.

Kryze was a member of Mandalore’s royal family before the planet was decimated by the Empire, while the protagonist of the series was raised in a cult that follows a very specific set of rules....
