'White Famous' recycles Hollywood cliches

9 years ago
"White Famous" is most notable for its title, which represents the career goal outlined for a rising African-American comedian by his agent. After that, this breezy Showtime comedy basically just feels like the latest variation on "Entourage," with producer Jamie Foxx lending some sizzle by appearing as an "I'm a big star"-crazy version of himself.

Jackie Chan can't beat life into 'The Foreigner'

9 years ago
"The Foreigner" is as generic and disposable as its title, hobbling Jackie Chan's inherent likability by turning him into a grief-stricken revenge machine. Those hoping for a sleek action vehicle on the order of "Taken" will likely wind up feeling taken for a ride.

'Marshall' highlights Thurgood Marshall's early career

9 years ago
"Marshall" uses a single case to shed light on civil-rights titan Thurgood Marshall, yielding an enlightening if somewhat arbitrary snapshot of the Supreme Court Justice during his crusading days working for the NAACP. Anchored by topnotch performances by Chadwick Boseman in the title role and Josh Gad, it's a 75-year-old story imbued with modern-day resonance.

9 years ago
"Mr. Robot" was a comet, blazing brightly in its riveting first season at the risk of crashing and burning in its second. While that flame is unlikely to be fully rekindled, version 3.0 marks a welcome return to form, one that tightens the story but still seems disarmingly weird and appropriately suited to the current political and cultural moment.
