Kristen StewartandMackenzie Daviswere both attached toHappiest Seasonfor a full year before the film went into production. Having seen the movie now, it’s a good thing they were able to hold out for that green light because I can’t imagine anyone else in those lead roles. Stewart and Davis play Abby and Harper, respectively. They’re in a loving relationship, but that connection is put to the test when the holidays roll around....

There is no animation studio quite likeKyoto Animation, and there is no animated feature film quite like its 2017 release,A Silent Voice. Directed byNaoko Yamada(K-On!), the film was a success, especially because of its delicate but bold execution of heavy topics, such as bullying, anxiety, and suicide. ButA Silent Voicealso enchanted its audience through beautiful and effective animation. One storytelling technique, in particular, illustrates the protagonist’s extreme social anxiety in a unique but accurate way: Large X’s over people’s faces to represent Shoya’s social anxiety....

Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction, but most times it’s not. Sometimes people behave just the way you expect them to: They take advantage of an opportunity, they get addicted along the way (to the thrill of getting away with it, the accolades they receive, or the effects of literal drugs), they make mistakes, and they commit a series of small sins without the intention of harming others. And sometimes those small sins add up to be crimes that affect tens of thousands of people, as in the case of thenew Netflix true-crime documentaryHow to Fix a Drug Scandal....

Throughout TV’s history, most teen shows have focused on the drama that comes from being a white, suburban middle-class teen. While these teenagers are by no means devoid of emotional stress and trauma, these shows fail to deal with other issues of race and class that affect so many other teens. By comparison,Reservation Dogshas been a breath of fresh air. Stories that were previously left out of teen shows and television, in general, have been given the spotlight with this show....

SirIan McKellenis a powerhouse of an actor, with seven decades of roles on stage, and in TV and movies. Though he is an openly gay actor and an LGBTQ advocate, Sir Ian has only played a handful of gay characters. There’sX-Men(2000), where Magneto’s extremism for the mutant agenda got queer-coded. InGods and Monsters(1998), he portrayed openly gay horror directorJames Whalesas he succumbed to past trauma. So it’s refreshing to watch British sitcomViciouswith McKellen playing what could be a quintessential role....

J.K. Rowlinghad the world at her feet and continues to throw it all away by tweeting transphobic tweets or writing an essay denouncing the trans community. And now it’s finally coming back around to bite her. Rowling, who has been a social pariah since she began sharing her transphobia online over and over again,has avoided eventsfor her previously belovedHarry Potterseries and has, for the most part, been locked away in her tower and not done much else outside ofwriting under a male pseudonymand watching asthatseries also fails....

Keanu ReevesandSandra Bullockare still besties, which is delightful to see. Fans are desperate for the pair to reunite on screen afterthe success ofSpeedandThe Lake House. It was at an event to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the former where the duo reunited with the film’s directorJan de Bont, as part of Beyond Fest, where fans got the chance to ask all parties about the prospects of a third outing. Bullock infamously starred inSpeed 2: Cruise Controlwhich Reeves wisely dipped on, but the chance to reunite the three for another go round is massively appealing....

It’s been quite an interesting few years forKevin Costner. While he was arguably one of the most significant movie stars of his generation throughout the late 20th century, Costner’s star power began to diminish in the subsequent decade due to a series of critical and financial disappointments. It turned out a change of medium was all that Costner needed to once again find his audience. After The History Channel’s ambitious miniseriesHatfields & McCoysbecame a surprising breakout hit in 2012, Costner was later cast inYellowstone, a series that would redefine both his career and the neo-Western genre....

When does science-fiction become science fact? Throughout various mediums over the last few centuries, we’ve seen early versions of concepts that would eventually become a reality. Sometimes these portrayals are pretty far off base (still waiting on those flying cars), while other times they feel downright prescient. But in the case ofStar Trekand one particular engineer at NASA, science-fiction actually informed science fact, with NASA engineer and physicistHarold Whitenow actively working on a space ship that would allow travel faster than the speed of light—or, for theStar Trekinclined, warp speed....

The show follows a group of teenagers who return from a school trip to find that everyone else in town has disappeared.
