The venerable NBC procedural LAW & ORDER is now in its twenty-fourth season on NBC on Thursday nights, with episodes thereafter available on the streamer Peacock. (The series was canceled in 2010, but then returned in 2022.) During those seasons, the cast of regulars playing the police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders, has rotated often. Reid Scott is now in his second season on LAW & ORDER as NYPD homicide detective Vincent Riley. Riley is partnered with Detective Jalen Shaw, played by Mehcad Brooks, who came onboard one season earlier. Scott is himself a […]Read On »

Movie Review: COMPANION

Rating: R Stars: Sophie Thatcher, Jack Quaid, Harvey Guillén, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Rupert Friend Writer: Drew Hancock Director: Drew Hancock Distributor: Warner Bros./New Line Cinema Release Date: January 31, 2025 Since it’s implied in the poster and stated in the trailer, it’s probably not a huge spoiler to say that COMPANION centers on a human-like robot (most of us would consider her an android) named Iris (Sophie Thatcher). Iris is an emotional support companion, whose duties are not limited to but include enthusiastic sex with her owner. As it is also stated in the trailer and in the first […]Read On »

Stars: Elena Sanchez, Jeremy London, Alli Hart, Miles Dorleac, Jared Bankens, David Kallaway, Escalante Lundy, Laura Cayourette, Elise Greene, Betsy Borrego, Artrial Clark, Madison Wolfe, Ritchie Montgomery Writer: Michael Donovan Horn Director: Michael Donovan Horn Distributor: Uncork’d Entertainment Release Date: January 21, 2025 (digital, VOD) BONE FACE has an intriguing concept. What if a pair of sleuths rounded up a bunch of suspects and tried to put together who was secretly Jason Voorhees? It’s a worthy notion, even if it doesn’t fully come together here. On their last night together at Camp Marigold, the counselors get together to send off […]Read On »

Movie Review: CREEP BOX

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Geoffrey Cantor, Seán Mahon, Ian Lithgow, Katie Kuang, Allie McCullouch, Annemarie Lawless, Adam David Thompson (voice), Aya Marseille Hull, Dan Cordle Writer: Patrick Biesemans Director: Patrick Biesemans Distributor: Quiver Distribution Release Date: January 24, 2025 (digital) CREEP BOX turns out to be a misleading title for this slow-burn techno/maybe supernatural thriller. There is indeed a box, but neither it nor those associated with it are particularly creepy, albeit some are morose and/or morally dubious. It’s approximately the year 2029. The box in question is the property of HDTA, a company that sells its services to well-heeled […]Read On »

Movie Review: DISFLUENCY

Rating: Not Rated Stars: Libe Barer, Ariela Barer, Chelsea Alden, Dylan Arnold, Travis Tope, Kimiko Singer, Molly Hagan, Ricky Wayne, Diana DeLaCruz, Wayne David Parker, Michael Alan Herman Writer: Anna Baumgarten Director: Anna Baumgarten Distributor: Buffalo 8 Release Date: January 10, 2025 (theatrical), January 24, 2025 (VOD, digital) DISFLUENCY begins with a college professor (Molly Hagan) giving a lecture on “imperfect speech.” These are words people throw into their conversation, often without even being aware they’re doing so, like “um,” “hmm,” “totally,” and so on. There’s a behavioral corollary to this that we soon witness. Jane (Libe Barer), one of […]Read On »

Florence explains that Mary Ellen was a semi-famous singer who was on the road a lot and “didn’t know how to be […]Read On »

Movie Review: PRESENCE

Rating: R Stars: Lucy Liu, Callina Liang, Chris Sullivan, Eddy Maday, West Mulholland, Natalie Woolams-Torres Writer: David Koepp Director: Steven Soderbergh Distributor: Neon Release Date: January 24, 2025 Usually, a good film’s style and substance work together to create a unified result. PRESENCE is a good film, with an intriguing, unusual style and solid supernatural substance. What’s most notable here, though, is that the two seem to exist almost independently of each other. The opening sequence is a sustained tracking shot throughout a large, darkened suburban house. There’s no furniture yet, as the house is empty at this point. PRESENCE […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Callum McGowan, Scout Taylor-Compton, Jon Seda, Stuart Townsend, Richard Dreyfuss, AnnaMaria Demara, David Gray, Lorena Sarria, Tofan Pirani, Ron Smoonenburg, Tom O’Connell, Maverick Kang, Mek Manbut, Panuson Maneesang, Quinn Hensley, Nina Padovan Writers: Chad Law and Josh Ridgway Director: Christian Sesma Distributor: Saban Films Release Date: January 24, 2025 INTO THE DEEP combines Great White sharks, drug pirates, and some innocent treasure hunters. As far as this goes, the film unspools the way we might expect. However, it’s notable for a pre-climactic moment that’s actually more in line with reality than some of the scenes that precede […]Read On »

NOVA: WHAT ARE UFOS?: Filmmakers and experts deep dive into the phenomenon in the new PBS documentary – Exclusive Interview

NOVA - WHAT ARE UFOS key art | ©2025 PBS

According to a 2022 YouGov poll thirty-four percent of Americans believe that UFOs are proof of extraterrestrials visiting Earth. Others believe that these are flying objects that our government won’t (for security reasons) or can’t identify. Still others don’t know what to think. The NOVA documentary WHAT ARE UFOS?, premiering on PBS Wednesday, January 22, also available for streaming on pbs.org/nova, Nova on YouTube, and the PBS app, investigates all of this. During the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour in Pasadena, California, former U.S. Navy Lieutenant and F/A-18F pilot Ryan Graves, producer/ director / writer Terri Randall, NOVA co-executive […]Read On »
