British actress Dame June Whitfield -- perhaps best known for her role in the sitcom "Absolutely Fabulous" -- has died at age 93.

Netflix seems to be flying so high over the reception to its just-released psychological horror film "Bird Box" that it's breaking a long-held tradition of staying largely mum on viewership.

The promise of interactive entertainment has usually outstripped the reality, which winds up feeling like a gimmick. Netflix has picked the right vehicle to test those waters with the macabre anthology "Black Mirror," but its stealthily dropped effort "Bandersnatch" proves to be more of an interesting experiment than a creatively successful one.

Even before Felicity Jones transformed into Ruth Bader Ginsburg for her new film "On the Basis of Sex," the actress felt a kinship with the Supreme Court justice.

President Trump skipped the Kennedy Center Honors in 2017, publicly stating that he wished to avoid marring the celebration with a "political distraction." A year later, his absence at the event -- held earlier this month, and now being televised on CBS -- merely reinforces the disconnect between the commander in chief and key ceremonial aspects of America's cultural life.

There are a lot of bad movies and TV every year, and with so much being produced, 2018 was no exception. But only a few of the bigger misfires come with the sort of concept, cast or creative pedigree that would raise expectations, only to dash them.

It was a strong year for both movies and television. But rather than a conventional "best" list, recognizing the "most satisfying" films and programs felt like a more organic way to pay homage to projects that delivered on their promise or exceeded expectations. It's also a way of thinning out deserving entries -- especially among returning series -- that might have simply met them.
