As a film buff, I’m always drawn to movies from the 1960s – they really were a golden age for Hollywood. It was a time of huge social change, with the counterculture movement really taking hold, and you can see that reflected on screen. Directors and writers were so much bolder, pushing creative limits in ways we hadn’t seen before. These films just connected with a generation trying to figure things out during a really turbulent decade. And for me, one moment that perfectly captures the spirit of the time is a line delivered by Dustin Hoffman in 1969 – it felt so defiant and really embodied the energy of New York City at the time.

Per Sullivan chose to continue his studies at Harvard instead of taking a lucrative offer to return to his famous role. He’s largely stayed out of acting and the public eye since Malcolm in the Middle ended, which didn’t surprise his former co-stars, Frankie Muniz and Bryan Cranston. Ultimately, Caleb Ellsworth-Clark’s portrayal of Dewey in Life’s Still Unfair showed that all the concern over recasting was unnecessary.

Next week, acclaimed director, artist, and creator of the EDGLRD collective, Harmony Korine, will launch his first major U.S. museum exhibition at the ICA Miami. The show will feature more than 50 of his works, covering everything from his early pieces to his most recent projects and showcasing the entirety of his career.

Netflix has a lot of great fantasy shows to get hooked on, like Arcane, Shadow & Bone, and Castlevania. It’s worth noting that Arcane and Castlevania are both based on popular video games and do a fantastic job of recreating those worlds. Devil May Cry clearly took inspiration from similar themes and styles.

After being off television for 20 years, Malcolm in the Middle is returning with a four-episode revival on Hulu. The show catches up with Malcolm as an adult, now a father and in a relationship. The revival, titled Life’s Still Unfair, starts with Malcolm trying to navigate introducing his girlfriend to his daughter, Leah.

Alan Ritchson’s series Reacher has become a huge hit, ranking among the most-watched shows of the last ten years. Prime Video is a go-to destination for crime thrillers, also offering popular shows like Jack Ryan, The Terminal List, Bosch, Cross, and Deadloch, among others. Beyond TV, Prime Video also boasts a strong selection of thrilling movies.

Netflix has a strong collection of funny crime shows, mixing witty humor with intriguing mysteries. The platform actually launched with a crime comedy – Lilyhammer (2012–2014) – and has continued to produce popular titles in the genre, including the two-season series A Man on the Inside (2024–), along with Sneaky Pete (2015–2019) and Dead to Me (2019–2022), which both ran for three seasons. But it’s their latest crime comedy that’s recently become a big hit with viewers.

The critically acclaimed film The Fighter, starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by David O. Russell, is now available on Peacock as of April 1st. The movie tells the true story of boxer Micky Ward (played by Wahlberg) and his journey to success, alongside his complex relationship with his older half-brother, Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale), a former boxer struggling with personal issues. It’s a story about overcoming obstacles and finding your own path, even when overshadowed by family. The film also features Amy Adams, Melissa Leo, and Jack McGee.

Okay, as a huge fan of both Timex and Dime, I’m seriously hyped about this new watch! They took the classic, super-reliable Timex T80 – you know, the one everyone recognizes – and Dime gave it a seriously cool, edgy makeover. It’s not a total redesign, which is good, because the original is awesome, but they definitely injected some punk and metal vibes with a studded design. It looks amazing and still feels like a watch you can actually wear every day – it’s got that classic Timex durability with a whole lot more attitude!

Christopher Nolan ultimately directed the acclaimed 2014 sci-fi film, but Steven Spielberg was involved in the project early on. Producer Lynda Obst and scientist Kip Thorne initially brought Spielberg on board, and he worked on the movie for about a year before deciding to leave.
