The Director’s Fortnight sidebar of the Cannes Film Festival has become a target of debate in recent years, sometimes viewed as “the films that didn’t get into the main Cannes program.” While it may be true for a few films, there’s a lot of quality in DF, not only exemplified by the excellent clip reel
The finish line puts you steps from downtown Omaha’s best restaurants and some of the city’s nicest outdoor spaces. Here’s where to go. The Old Market is a five-minute drive from the finish line and Omaha’s most walkable dining neighborhood. Le Bouillon is a French bistro with small plates
The last we saw of Kelly Reilly’s Beth and Cole Hauser’s Rip in the series finale of “Yellowstone,” they had just settled into their new home, a ranch in the quiet outpost of Dillon, Montana. For one perfect, sun-dappled moment, it appeared as if Beth and Rip and their teenage ward Carter (Finn Little) might
Put plainly, it’s a wonder that the “Good Omens” finale even exists. In the wake of a series of sexual misconduct and assault allegations against creator Neil Gaiman, production on the series’s third season was paused indefinitely. Although Gaiman has repeatedly denied the claims, it certainly felt like the Prime Video comedy about the unorthodox
The new Peacock series “M.I.A” could be called “Miami Vice: The Reversal.” This nine-episode revenge saga is equal parts crime drama and nighttime soap about the clash between two families and the ruin that follows. However, it hinges on the duo of Etta Tiger Jonze (Shannon Gisela) and Lovely (Brittany Adebumola), and on the seemingly
There’s something the matter with Dix Steele—the protagonist in Dorothy B. Hughes’ 1947 novel In a Lonely Place and in its 1950 adaptation of the same name directed by Nicholas Ray—and the women around him sense it. You could call it feminine intuition. The detective in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” does so when Grace Kelly’s
No one does a dark and grisly murder like the Scandinavians. The steadily rising popularity of Nordic noir is a testament to this fact, as viewers of all stripes continue to embrace the twisty, chilly subgenre, known for its flawed protagonists, moody visuals, bleak subject matter, and slow-burn approach to storytelling.

This month, the very last EbertFest took place in downtown Champaign, Illinois, in the magnificent Virginia Theater, a 1000-seat venue that’s over a century old. Originally known as The Overlooked Film Festival, EbertFest ran for 25 years, starting in 2001. It was founded by Roger Ebert and his wife and partner Chaz Ebert (who also founded
Trailers for director David Lowery’s “Mother Mary” have cheekily referred to it as “Not a ghost story,” likely a reference to the director’s 2017 film of the same name. Make no mistake, though: this is very much an exorcism story, one that also focuses on a spirit that refuses to leave its chosen place of
