Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for the first three episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 6. It’s no exaggeration to say that Serena Joy Waterford is one ofthe most contentious characters on television. From the start ofThe Handmaid’s Tale,she was both architect and prisoner of Gilead — a regime built, in part, on her writings and rigid religious ideals. Her complicity has never been in doubt, butYvonne Strahovski’s layered performance has added a striking depth, infusing the character withsoulfulness and vulnerability despite her morally reprehensible choices....

Few actors can take over an entire season of a television show quite likeBobby Cannavale. BetweenBoardwalk EmpireandMr. Robot, Cannavale has changed the stakes of several major drama shows with his villainous performances, earning the 2013 Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. While his television roles have been largely villainous, he’s shown a much more versatile side to himself with his film roles. Cannavale’s cinematic filmography includes a good variety of comedies, dramas, and everything in between; he even had a short stint on the Marvel Cinematic Universe!...

Anamazing movie soundtrackdoesn’t just complement the film, it becomes an incandescent experience for viewers in its own right. Whether it’s a sweeping orchestral score or a fabulous suite of rock songs, movie soundtracks can keep viewers remembering a film long after it might otherwise have been forgotten. A post bySquirrelkid11on theAskReddit sub(one of Reddit’s biggest and most diverse communities, with almost 41.1 million members) asked: “Which movie soundtrack slaps from beginning to end?...

Catharsis, satisfaction, schadenfreude… There are a lot of words to describe the feeling people get when bad things happen to bad people. The number of descriptors for this feeling is an indication of how much people love a story of justice and revenge, and it certainly explains how many films there are based on the subject. While revenge dominates mainstream cinema (seeKill Bill vol. 1,vol. 2andJohn Wick) there is an endless number of revenge films that don’t get enough love....

Movies and musicals take our normal, ho-hum human experiences and turn them into ginormous explosions of emotion. On their own, these forms provide catharsis, but when you combine them? Buckle your culture-lovin' seatbelts, baby. Movie musicals have been around since the very beginning of film history, which begins with the borrowing of devices and talent from the creators of stage musicals. With the ability to finesse and craft set pieces you simply could not in a real-life time-and-space theatrical setting, movie musicals likeThe Wizard of Oz,Singin' in the Rain, andThe Umbrellas of Cherbourgbecame the symbols of filmic creativity, ingenuity, prestige, and good old-fashioned popcorn fun....

That’s not to say that there aren’t amazing TV shows that were created before that, but early on in Hollywood, television was arguably less respected as a medium than movies....

I’m gonna get one thing out of the way: I love dogs. And not in a casual “general animal” fan kind of way either – I’ve been known to tear up watching dog vines on Twitter and to lose my train of thought when confronted with a particularly cute mutt on the street. In a lot of ways,A Dog’s Purposeis a film geared specifically for me. But despite the film’s cuddly subject matter and family-friendly tone, it’s reliably too dark for children and too dully felt for adults, making it a film I’m not quite sure is for anyone at all....

Neon’s latest film,Anora, has only premiered in select theaters around the world, but the film has still already carved its name into an elite box office.
