Downton Abbey Season 6 Review: A Fitting Farewell

For the first few minutes of the first episode ofDownton Abbey’s sixth and final season, I had the strongest sense of deja vu. Was this the new season, or had I accidentally accessed episodes from last season? That’s the wonderful and frustrating thing aboutDownton, which came to a close in the U.K. over Christmas, but begins its final U.S. tour in January on PBS. There’s a familiarity to both the stories it tells and the way it tells them that makes the show easily decoded and a timeless reverie....

Enchanted 2: Amy Adams on How Disenchanted Has a Lot More Singing and Dancing

The appeal of Disney princesses never dies — even if they’re not officially princesses. It’s true for characters like Meg fromHercules, or Kida fromAtlantis: The Lost Empire, but it might not be truer for anyone more than Giselle, the eternally optimistic maiden from 2007’sEnchanted, played byAmy Adams. Fans have been looking forward to a sequel for the fairy tale character who landed herself in present-day New York City since the film — titledDisenchanted— was greenlit in 2010, and now, in 2021, we’re finally getting our first real peek behind the production’s curtain....

Gotham Series Finale Is a Perfect Ending to a Wonderfully Imperfect Show

Stuck like a Batarang between the twin traumas ofAvengers: EndgameandGame of Thrones' season 8 Battle for Winterfell is the last episode ofGotham, ever. After five seasons of serving as a prequel to the Dark Knight’s arrival, the series finale, titled “The Beginning”, jumped ten years into the future, to a time when Commissioner Jim Gordon (Ben McKenzie) is a weary man with a glorious mustache, Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan) is a white-faced Joker cracking wise above a vat of chemicals in a cheap purple suit, and Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) finally puts his greatest fear on like a mask and starts professionally crippling muggers by moonlight....

Harrison Ford's Riskiest Performance Was in This '80s Thriller

Harrison Fordis back in the Indy hat withIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destinyswinging into theaters on June 30. But let’s take it back to when the star was absolutely dominating the 1980s. Starring in two of the biggest franchises of all time (Indiana JonesandStar Wars) would probably be enough in itself, but Ford carefully selected roles that showcased his range. He scored his first and only Oscar nomination forWitness, took a chance on the eventual classicBlade Runner, and even tried being a romantic comedy lead inWorking Girl....

I’m Not a Fan of ‘The Golden Bachelor,’ but This One Aspect Has Me Glued

When I first started watching reality television religiously, I got into tons of different shows. From dating to competitions to The Housewives, I could watch and get into almost anything – exceptThe Bachelorfranchise and any spin-off related to it. I guess I have just never seen the appeal of Bachelor nation shows. I have watched a season here and there if I genuinely enjoyed the lead role, such asJoey Graziadei’sseason, because it was obvious that he was there for the right reasons....

Joaquin Phoenix Goes Full Joker in New Set Video

A new set video fromTodd Phillips’Jokerorigin story—a movie apparently being filmed entirely in public with as many cell phones in the vicinity as possible—revealsJoaquin Phoenixgoing full Clown Prince of Crime on a Gotham City subway station. There was a ton of speculation over whether the circus-style makeup Phoenix worein camera test footagewould be the character’s final look, but this video seems to confirm that it is. As it stands now, Phillips' Joker looks like an unholy mix betweenHeath Ledger’s hair,Cesar Romero’s purple suit, and John Wayne Gacy’s makeup slash general penchant for murder....

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Defends The Dark Knight Rises Ending

In the power ranking of movies that look like they help ease me into a good nap by the end of 2016,Oliver Stone’sSnowdenis circling the number one spot. The story ofEdward Snowdenshould not be boring and yet, everything I’ve seen thus far about Stone’s latest makes me think thatSnowdenwill drag on with a familiar cautionary tale about how the government has corrupted our liberties because we don’t care enough. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised but Stone’s recent streak of mediocrities doesn’t bode well forSnowdenon the whole....

Julian Fellowes' New Drama The Gilded Age Heads to NBC

Back in 2012, in what must have been one of my very first articles for Collider, we reported that NBC hadordered a new dramaseries,The Gilded Age, fromDownton AbbeycreatorJulian Fellowes. This being 2018, things have been percolating on this one for awhile. At that time,Downtonhad only aired two seasons and the airwaves had not yet been flooded with Gilded Age-set series (that being, roughly, the late Victorian and early Edwardian period – a little beforeDownton)....
