If there’s only one film that could accurately claim to be the “greatest action movie of all time” with little to no debate, it would certainly beTerminator 2: Judgment Day. Released just over 30 years ago in July of 1991,T2was a massive hit and at the time was the “most expensive film ever made,” and it’s no wonder given the technological advancements in computer-generated imagery that had to occur beforeJames Cameronwas able to bring his liquid metal Terminator (which he originally wanted for the first film) to life....

Doctor Who’s titular Doctor has met countlesshistorical figures throughout their travels. Gallivanting with icons likeWilliam Shakespeare,Charles Dickens, andVincent van Goghis essential to the series’ capriciously wish-fulfillment approach to time travel, and its origins as a children’s educational program. A gleefully clever take on this recurring concept occurs in Season 4’s “The Unicorn and the Wasp,” spotlighting none other than DameAgatha Christie(before she was a Dame). Still as relevant a draw as ever (as the BritBox seriesAgatha Christie’s Murder is Easyindicates),“The Unicorn and the Wasp” functions as a love letter to Christie and posits an “explanation” for the real-life mysterysurroundingher infamous 10-day disappearance....

The hunt for The Undresser continues this Wednesday onApple TV+with Episode 8 ofWomen in Blue. Through seven episodes of the acclaimed crime drama thus far, the titular officers havefought through discrimination and corruptionwithin the higher ranks of Mexico’s police force to prove their worth as the country’s first female cops and ultimately capture the brutal serial killer. That hasn’t been easy, especially as the force has ignored the evidence that they’ve arrested the wrong man, and every new suspect seems to bring even more questions....

While his role as Tony Soprano’s mentor Dickie Moltisanti in this weekend’sThe Many Saints of Newarkcould be hailed as a “breakout,”Alessandro Nivolahas consistently been a versatile working actor. Between regular appearances in major blockbusters (Face/Off,Jurassic Park III) and acclaimed indies (Disobedience,You Were Never Really Here,A Most Violent Year) alike, Nivola is hardly an unfamiliar face whenever he pops up. He’s just rarely granted sizable roles that showcase the versatility of his talent....

When the legendary movie criticRoger Ebertraves about a film, it is typically a good quality indicator, and the esteemed, late journalist did so withSam Raimi’s 1998 thrillerA Simple Plan. A wise man once said the best way to keep a secret between three people is if two are dead. The age-old adage has never been more appropriate than in this overlooked gem.Bill Paxton,Billy Bob Thornton, andBridget Fondastar as salt-of-the-earth midwesternfolks whose lives are turned upside down by a single fortunate event followed by a series of much more unfortunate ones....

The live-action adaptation of hit mangaOne Pieceis coming to Netflix at the end of this month and considering it’s been over 25 years since the manga first debuted, it can feel incredibly intimidating jumping into the expansive world made byEiichiro Oda. There are over 1000 manga chapters, 1000 anime episodes, and even over a dozen films. However, worry not becauseNetflix’s live-action serieswill be an accessible introduction into the sprawling world ofOne Piecewhile maintaining the free-spirited nature and fun of the beloved franchise....

There’s less than a fortnight left beforeThor: Love and Thunderhits the theaters worldwide and Marvel Studios is leaving no stone unturned in flaunting its Mighty Thor. A new clip from the fourth instillment in theThorfranchise, sees Jane Foster/Mighty Thor flexing her Mjolnir wielding skills. The minute-long action filled clip sees Thor(Chris Hemsworth)calling out the hammer like a beloved pet in the heat of a battle.

Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 Episode 4.From the first moment we glimpse the back of his broad, towering frame in Netflix’sDaredevilseries, Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) most defining characteristic hasn’t been his compulsion to heal Hell’s Kitchen as its reigning criminal mastermind or heal all of New York City as its reformed mayor, or just burn everything to the ground out of spite — it’s one oft-repeated word: “Vanessa....

It’s been a little over two years since the release ofCaptain Fantastic, butViggo Mortensenis already back in the Oscar conversation forGreen Book. He leads the film as Tony Vallelonga, a bouncer living in the Bronx with his family in the 1960s. When the Copacabana shuts down for some remodeling, Tony reluctantly opts to take an unlikely new gig and hits the road with piano virtuoso, Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), for a tour from Manhattan to the Deep South....

Earlier this year,Unsolved Mysteriesreturned in a radically different form. Despite the show’s inherent kitsch value (and the presence ofStranger ThingsproducerShawn Levy, who certainly knows the value of 80s nostalgia), this new iteration of the classic series (which ran, on various networks, from 1988 to 2002) shed many of its trappings. Gone was a garrulous host (although the legendaryRobert Stackdoes make a ghostly appearance at the end of each episode’s title sequence), multiple mysteries per episode (the original series had at least four) and the ratherimpressionisticapproach to dramatic reenactments....
