Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) continues his precipitous slide towards becoming the Saul Goodman that we all loved to hate, and Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) might even be outpacing him in terms of unleashing her dark side....

Exclusive Fortress Clip: ‘I Should Have Killed You’ If this clip appears to have all the hallmarks of a Bruce Willis action film, that’s because it does. It features Willis beat up, bloody and in a compromising position, while still not giving too many f***s, not giving the bad guy an inch. The more Murray threatens him, the less Willis seems to care. That’s the power of Willis, who reportedly shot the entirety of all his scenes on the film in one afternoon!...

‘If he wished to tell that story with me, I’d be in’ Warner Bros. Everything old is new again, folks.

Deep Water Trailer It’s been a long time since a film provided an actual teaser that was, well, a tease of what is to come, but Hulu absolutely nailed it with this one. In under two minutes, we understand exactly what the power dynamics are between de Armas and Affleck, and we know it’s Rated R for sexual content, nudity, language, and some violence. This teaser is the cinematic equivalent of edging, and I’m impatiently waiting for more....

Sometimes, it’s good to get a reminder that there’s a huge difference between the accepted consensus among those of us who are Extremely Online … and all the other normal people out there.

Why It’s Essential Viewing Paramount Pictures To some benighted TV viewers, Bogdanovich might be more recognizable for his role as the therapist’s therapist on “The Sopranos” than for his directorial work. His name sometimes gets crowded out and his work sometimes gets overlooked in superficial summaries of the New Hollywood era — that period in American cinema from roughly 1967 to 1982 when a breed of maverick young filmmakers, the so-called “Movie Brats,” began exerting more creative control within the studio system....
