On the Basis of Sexis a biopic about the life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The supreme court justice has become a liberal icon in recent years. Her popularity has spawned books, a well-received documentary, and my personal favorite, Notorious RBG t-shirts; which liken her to rapper The Notorious BIG, crown and all. The Hollywood treatment is spirited and well-acted, but a bit too folksy. Director Mimi Leder (Deep Impact,Pay it Forward) paints Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a heroic brush....

Deriving much of its comedy through witty improv and ludicrous moments,Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountainis a charming, rip-roaring comedy about three friends seeking to rekindle their friendship. The chemistry between the cast and their excellent comedic timing makes each anecdote or frivolous line of dialogue punchy and effective. The story is simple, but it’s the film’s characters and theme of friendship that give this gut-busting comedy its depth....

The overly aggressive marketing campaign forReady Player Oneshot itself in the foot yesterday with an overabundance ofclassic 1980s movie poster parodiesthat sent social media into a meltdown. The big screen adaptation of Ernest Cline’s 2011 novel has been fired upon ever since it was announced that Steven Spielberg was taking over and using a bunch of Warner Bros. properties to tell the story. The never-ending Easter Eggs that are hidden in plain view are starting to get more than a little tedious and a new “rejected"Ready Player Onetheme song sums it all up perfectly....

Skinswas a unique show. Written by people in their late teens and early twenties, and acted by real teenagers, the show had a fresh and realistic look at teenage life.

There’s a shroud of secrecy surrounding the fifth and final season ofStar Trek: Discovery,and after viewing the first four episodes provided for critics, one can see why. Fun and action-packed, the entire season is a high-stakes whirlwind that revolves around a singular mission, plucking out a significant piece ofStar Treklore in the process. (And we thought we’ve seen everything.) This is some of the bestStar Trekyou will experience, matching, and perhaps surpassing, the creativity and innovation that went intoseason two ofStar Trek: Strange New Worlds....

The latest episode ofThe Walking Deadserved as a goodbye for Rick Grimes (sort of), which has earned the lion’s share of attention. But it’s important to point out that the latest episode,What Comes After, also serves as the exit for another fan-favorite character who has been with the series for a long time. But perhaps not a permanent exit. Warning: spoilers ahead forThe Walking Deadseason 9 episode 5.Lauren Cohan’s Maggiedidn’t die, but, at least for the time being, her time in the zombie wasteland is done....
