Reel Rundown: 'Mayday' comedy bends genres, stereotypes on Apple TV (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When some of us hear the name Kenneth Branagh, we think Shakespeare. Sure, the actor from Northern Ireland has starred in any number of non-Shakespearean movie roles, from “Murder on the Orient Express” to “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” Even so, he rose to fame by starring in – and directing – adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays beginning with 1989’s “Henry V,” followed by 1993’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” 1996’s “Hamlet” and 2000’s “Love’s Labour’s Lost.” He has also acted in both 1995’s “Othello” an
Reel Rundown: 'Furious' challenges the viewer to sympathize with less savory characters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most of us prefer to watch shows that feature characters we like – or at least can relate to in some way. Sure, they can be flawed. But underneath even the roughest exterior, they need to boast at least one or two admirable qualities. That’s certainly the case with “Furious,” a police-procedural miniseries streaming on Hulu. Alice Black, the FBI agent played by Emmy Rossum, is an immensely troubled soul. But over the course of eight less-than-an-hour episodes, series creator Elizabeth Meriwether
Reel Rundown: Post-apocalyptic 'The Dog Stars' features rare difference for film of its type (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Whether featured in movies or miniseries, one thing that is missing from most postapocalyptic projects is an enduring sense of hope. Consider John Hillcoat’s 2009 adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel “The Road.” Or the HBO videogame-turned-miniseries “The Last of Us,” not to mention the 1973 Charlton Heston-starring sci-fi classic “Soylent Green,” or for that matter any number of zombie-creature thrillers. Hope in each of them is hard to find. This is hardly a surprising revelation. We’re talki
Reel Rundown: Netflix's 'Freefall' highlights Boeing safety catastrophe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Depending on your political persuasion, the notion of someone becoming a so-called whistleblower could be positive or negative. Consider, though, this dictionary definition of the term: “an employee who brings wrongdoing by an employer or by other employees to the attention of a government or law enforcement agency.” That’s the definition that fuels the work of documentary filmmaker Rory Kennedy. While she has shown a profound civic-minded vigor throughout her career, her efforts show up most re
Reel Rundown: 'Murder 101' class isn't about solving a crime, but learning a lifelong lesson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Many of us had that one instructor who made a difference in our lives. For me, it was an English teacher who managed to ignite my love of literature. For the students of Tennessee’s Elisabethton High School, that teacher is a guy named Alex Campbell. He teaches sociology, and he does so in a strictly non-traditional manner. Instead of having his students adhere to a standard sociology curriculum, which would mean poring over dry textbooks and reports that reflect how humans interact in their var
