As it would have it, theHarry Potterfilms have dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of tiny little details and Easter eggs thrown about throughout the franchise’s eight-movie run. A lot of these hidden references are nods to content from the books that didn’t make it to the screen, things going on behind the scenes, or even the odd joke here and there, just to liven things up a bit. But, of course, not all details hold the same weight and value....

AsAaron Eckhart’s Harvey Dent so famously said inThe Dark Knight, “you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” It is an intriguing philosophy that suggests that, no matter the honorable intentions or moralistic qualities a hero may have, in time, and with prolonged exposure to corruption, power, and shifting circumstances, there will come a point where the principles that defined their nobility will compromise and collapse....

WithRon Howard’sSolo: A Star Wars Storynow playing in theaters, I recently sat down withAlden Ehrenreichfor a video interview. He talked about what people would be surprised to learn about the making of the train sequence, deleted scenes, what he took home from set, what’s a day he’ll always remember from makingSolo, and how the first person he told about landing the iconic role couldn’t keep it secret.

One of the things that has madeBates Motelso good through the years is how it puts its own spin on the worldAlfred Hitchcockcreated on screen fromRobert Bloch’s novel.

When Disney made the surprise announcement thatBeyoncé’sBlack Is Kingwould be coming to Disney+, the company’s highly touted direct-to-consumer platform, it was described as a “visual album,” essentially serving as a lavish accompaniment toThe Gift, her tie-in album to last year’sLion Kingremake. But that is sellingBlack Is Kingshort.

CBS is the latest network to unveil their crop of upcoming series at upfronts. And it all looks very CBS. In a repeat of recent programming criticisms, the network has generated some heat with their new lineup for a lack of diversity (all of their new shows feature male leads, most of which are white. CBS home of the white dudes, now and forever.) However, in terms of content, they certainly know what their audience likes (procedurals, servicemen, and sitcoms) and their consistent top dog numbers just don’t lie....
