What if you took the open-world charmsGrand Theft Auto, crossed it with the gonzo crime opera ofTakashi Miike’sDead or Alivetrilogy, and threw in the hyper-muscled power of anInfamousto boot? You’d have something likeSaints Row, the video game franchise that began with your classic street gang open world narratives, but has since evolved into something weirder, wilder, and more purposefully hilarious. Like, “your character can become the President and also fight a bunch of aliens” hilarious....

Like my colleague Adam Chitwood, I am the very opposite of a fan ofKevin Smith’s latest feature,Yoga Hosers, which feels like the work of a creative director desperately grasping at random, vaguely provocative ideas to appear relevant, hip, and original. It’s the kind of movie that appeals to the very worst in mad, genre-based filmmaking, straining for a potent emotional reaction rather than expressing anything even remotely personal or intimate about the artist behind the camera....

The boat sways the other way once again inTwin Peaks: The Return. Where the going-ons of Agent Cole and the gang dominated last week’s episode, “Part 13” avoids a single scene featuring Gordon, Albert, Agent Preston, and Diane. In the switch, Lynch progresses the plot in several small ways, but continues to maintain a sense of giddy bewilderment. The episode opened with a blast of uneasy celebration: a choreographed dance to Bushnell’s office, performed by Dougie, the Mitchums, and their trio of costumed girls....

“I’m not here to talk to you about the fights you have to have. I’m here to talk to you about the ones you want to have.” Those are some of the first words out of the mouth ofJon Bernthal, series lead and star of HBO’sWe Own This City, the newest in a lineup of political and procedural dramas from co-creatorsDavid SimonandGeorge Pelecanos. Directed byReinaldo Marcus Green, the opening sequence of the show seems innocuous on the surface, a police sergeant giving a speech to a room of trainees about the right and wrong ways to go about meeting the quotas set by their superiors....
