Jake Gyllenhaalhasn’t hostedSaturday Night Livesince 2007, but last night, he took to Studio 8H to give us a great episode with musical guestCamila Cabello. It all started on a great note with Gyllenhaal’s monologue, where he broke down being a “serious” actor and how he wasn’t having fun acting, because he was too busy trying to figure out what “method” meant and how it worked for him. Gyllenhaal brought up his movieNightcrawlerwhere he lost weight, played a man who becomes a camera-man, and listens to a police scanner to get the perfect shot throughout the movie....

Something raw has deeply resonated withStranger Thingsfans this season, namely the uphill struggle of its young cast dealing with the implications of trauma, isolation, and growing up.

Of all the words you could use to describeSuccession, perhaps the most apt one is “full-tilt.” When the Emmy-winning HBO drama first premiered, it was hard to figure out what to make of the show’s eccentric tone; not quite a comedy yet still packed with sharp yet hilarious quips. And while it was entertaining to watch the expletive-filled battles over control of a massive media empire (that most certainly bore no resemblance whatsoever to the Murdoch family, no sirree bob), it wasn’t necessarily the sort of show you could fall in love with — if only due to a collection of characters who went out of their way to not be lovable....

Arnold Schwarzeneggeris extremely funny, both accidentally and on purpose. After spending the first decade or so of his blockbuster film career making gonzo action films about impossibly buff heroes with hilariously improbable names (he frequently plays characters with ordinary names like “John” and “Benjamin” as if anyone who looks or sounds like him would ever be named something like that), Schwarzenegger began appearing in comedies that played with his superhero image, at which point we all discovered that he loves making fun of himself....

The golden age of slasher films is widely considered to have taken place from the mid-70s to the mid-80s, but just because the introductory days of Leatherface, Michael Myers and more are well behind us doesn’t mean that the beloved horror sub-genre is slowing down. We’re seeing a considerable amount of new releases lovingly embrace their iconic predecessors and a slew of other films carving wildly creative new paths of their own....

WithThe Eyes of My Mother,Nicolas Pescemakes the kind of genre debut that makes you not only eager, but anxious to see what he’ll direct next. StarringKika Magalhaesas a curious but enchanting young woman named Francisca, the film follows Francisca’s journey after she unlocks an unforetold darkness in herself in the wake of her mother’s violent death. To be a bit crass about it, it’sAlfred Hitchcockby way ofTexas Chainsaw Massacre, and with the help of an equally impressive feature film debut for cinematographerZach Kuperstein, Pesce creates a gorgeous black-and-white nightmare that’s bracingly visceral, even for it’s restrained on-screen violence....

24is one of those series that can legitimately be called a “game changer”. For starters, there’s its format; each season takes place over a single day, with each episode corresponding to an hour. It also arguably started the trend of the “tortured male protagonist” that’s now the norm: long before Walter White onBreaking Bador Carmy onThe Bear, Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) was going through it. But most fans of24forget that its Season 1 finalepacked a massive plot twist into its final five minutes....
