The directing duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have returned to the world of Ready or Not for a bigger sequel. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come picks up where Ready or Not left off: Grace MacCaullay (Samara Weaving) has survived playing a lethal game of hide and seek and nearly being sacrificed by […]

Lisa Kudrow is extraordinary. That’s what I kept telling myself as I watched season three of The Comeback. She’s just extraordinary. The journey she – and co-creator Michael Patrick King – have taken the washed-up (but always hustling) Valerie Cherish on over the course of twenty years is nothing short of extraordinary.

Kerry Washington, Elisabeth Moss, Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Joel Kinnaman, Leslie Odom, Jr. What a group of excellent actors. And then I watched […]
