Before he was the co-creator of Netflix seriesThe Lincoln Laywer,Ted Humphreyworked as a writer on another critically acclaimed legal series. In an interview with Collider’sChristina Radish, the writer and producer talked about his experience on CBS’s long-runningThe Good Wifeand how some elements of the show influenced what we see inThe Lincoln Lawyer. During the interview, Humphrey revealed that, having worked as a lawyer himself, authenticity plays a big part in his stories, andThe Good Wifewas heavy on that– which is one of the reasons the series scored several Emmy nominations and wins across its run....

This month, some of you are graduating from high school. Some are you of graduating from college. To all of you, I say congratulations on your hard work. School can be tough. As someone who wishes he had chosen a different college, I can speak to that directly. But I tend not to dwell too much on regrets because ultimately my choices brought me to where I am now, and I’m pretty pleased with my life....

The chilling anthology series is back for more withGoosebumps: The Vanishing, akaGoosebumpsseason 2. Based onR.L. Stine’s incredibly successful series of young adult horror novels, the newest incarnation ofGoosebumpshas taken the approach of telling a new story with each new season, the first of which was simply titledGoosebumps,presumably to softly relaunch the franchise without confusing audiences with a subtitle. This time around, the series will introduce a new cast of characters, led byFriendsstarDavid Schwimmer....

I’ve gleefully watched horror genre movies for years without so much as batting an eye — I’ve sat throughThe Human Centipedewithout flinching,MidsommarandHereditarydidn’t keep me awake at night, and yes, I’ve calledSawmy comfort movie and joked about vacationing in its disgusting bathroom more times than I can count. I thought I had built up immunity to horror’s more disturbing releases through maintaining genre-savviness, shielding me from too intense emotional or physical reactions....

Now, looking ahead,The Chosenhas a big year to come — and a big week to portray....

The firstJohn Wick 2images have arrived, and they may be met with a mix of excitement and dread.Keanu Reevesreprises his role as everyone’s favorite vengeful assassin inJohn Wick: Chapter 2, which expands the world ofJohn Wickto further explore the network of hotels established in the first movie. In one of these debut images, we see that Wick has himself a new canine companion, but considering the awful fate that befell his puppy in the first movie, I am not exactly enthused to find out what happens to the dog this time around....

It’s been almost twenty years, but whenPirates of the Caribbeanwas first announced, it was derided as a dumb money-grab. How could you adapt a theme park ride? There’s no story, so it’s just branding for the sake of branding. And yetGore Verbinski’s 2003 movie was a smash hit and a total delight thanks to its weird energy mixed with breezy adventure. Since then, various theme park ride adaptations have hit various levels of success, andJungle Cruiseis the latest to arrive from the Magic Kingdom....

WhileWandaVisionmarkedElizabeth Olsen’s first outing as Wanda Maximoff as the lead in her own project, there was one person who perhaps proved the true breakout of the series. That person is, of course,Kathryn Hahnwho stole the show as Agatha Harkness, musical sequence and all. After Agatha’s exploits took the internet by storm, Marvel announced that the fan favorite character would headline her own Disney+ show. Now, as a trailer for the upcoming series has been released, fans are invited to return to Westview inAgatha All Along....

Though increasingly dark and serious on the silver screen, DC comic properties on TV are getting brighter and more cartoonish with every iteration.Arrow, which debuted on the CW in 2012 kicked things off with a more staid tone, butGreg Berlanti,Marc Guggenheim, andAndrew Kreisberglightened things up forThe Flash, which spun off fromArrowin 2014 (and also made my list of thebest TV shows of the year). From those two successes, another spinoff is born:DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which takes a motley crew of characters from both series and unites them under a Time Master leader (Rip Hunter, played byArthur Darvill) in order to fight an immortal, time-traveling foe....

Last night’s episode ofLegion, the penultimate of the season,finally gave us some claritywith regards to the show’s main villain. Up until now, creatorNoah Hawley’s adaptation of the Marvel comic has largely eschewed superhero conventions, opting instead to focus onDan Stevens’ David Haller from a psychological perspective. This whole season we’ve been meant to question what’s real and what’s not, becauseDavidis constantly questioning what’s real and what’s not. But these last couple of episodes have introduced the concept thatAubrey Plaza’s Lenny is a manifestation of a “parasite” that’s latched onto David’s brain, and last night’s “Chapter Seven” finally gave a name to that parasite: Amahl Farouk, The Shadow King....

As everyone on the planet knows, opening next week is directorRian Johnson’sStar Wars: The Last Jedi. Unlike most movies where a lot of people know all the twists and turns before opening day, Disney and Lucasfilm have done an amazing job keeping the secrets ofThe Last Jediunder wraps. It’s actually a small miracle they did it considering the speed at which things leak on the internet. Knowing the cast was extremely guarded with what they would say about their characters and the film, when I attended the Los Angeles press day, I tried my best to ask some fun questions that I knew they could answer....
