Created: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 17:47:59 GMT

Author:

The government-sanctioned harassment of Martin Luther King Jr. provides the chilling spine of "MLK/FBI," a documentary timed to the annual holiday for the civil rights icon. Director Sam Pollard's film also raises an interesting question -- namely, what historians and journalists owe King's legacy in terms of releasing material amassed specifically in an effort to sully his name.

Created: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 17:15:04 GMT

Author:

Marvel flexes different muscles with "WandaVision," leveraging major assets while stretching its creative formula in this first series for Disney+.

'Batwoman' gets a new lead, but Season 2 looks like the same flawed show

Created: Sat, 16 Jan 2021 15:49:09 GMT

Author:

After a first season that never quite got off the ground creatively, "Batwoman" announced that original star Ruby Rose would be leaving but that the series would hang around without her. The contortions necessary to arrange that baton (or Batarang) pass mostly fizzle in the opening episodes, fueling a sense that this CW drama might be flying on fumes.

'Locked Down' turns quarantine into a romantic heist movie for the Covid time capsule

Created: Wed, 13 Jan 2021 21:45:54 GMT

Author:

Anyone who has felt their relationship tested by quarantine (no need to raise hands, we see you) will at least partially relate to "Locked Down," which takes the idea of a couple trapped by those circumstances, then builds an improbable heist plot around it. Thanks to Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anne Hathaway it's mildly watchable, but mostly an artifact that might look better after a few years in the Covid time capsule.

'Outside the Wire' stars Anthony Mackie in a sci-fi movie that thinks inside the box

Created: Wed, 13 Jan 2021 21:18:24 GMT

Author:

Before suiting up as Marvel's Falcon again on Disney+, Anthony Mackie produces and stars in "Outside the Wire," a futuristic action vehicle that thinks inside the box and feels as generic as its title. Netflix has found an eager audience for such adrenaline-rush movies -- perhaps especially with theaters hobbled -- but this is a wire-thin addition to the "You might like" tier.

'Tiger' puts Tiger Woods' life and career back under the microscope

Created: Fri, 08 Jan 2021 15:33:45 GMT

Author:

There's inevitably a salacious aspect to "Tiger," an HBO documentary about the rise and fall of Tiger Woods, since what happened in Vegas -- and elsewhere -- definitely didn't stay there. Overall, though, this engrossing two-part film captures the forces that shaped the golf legend, renewing appreciation for his staggering talent while waving a cautionary flag regarding how it was forged.

'Mr. Mayor' elects Ted Danson to play TV's latest politician

Created: Wed, 06 Jan 2021 19:32:12 GMT

Author:

Ted Danson has a way of classing up even a so-so premise, and so it is with "Mr. Mayor," a new sitcom from the "30 Rock" tandem of Robert Carlock and Tina Fey. Returning to NBC fresh off "The Good Place," the show allows its star to cut loose as L.A.'s unlikely new mayor, which is a pretty good place to start.

Weaving in news footage with stars reading Coates' words, this version of the writer's reflections to his 15-year-old son will likely be played and replayed for years to come.

'Ma Rainey's Black Bottom' showcases riveting performances by Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis

Created: Fri, 20 Nov 2020 18:39:58 GMT

Author:

Chadwick Boseman's tragic death will draw understandable attention to "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," which represents his final role. Yet that focus shouldn't overshadow the riveting performances that elevate this small-scale Netflix movie, adapted from the August Wilson play with its somewhat claustrophobic stage origins very much intact.
