TV recap: ‘Welcome to Flatch’ offers a royal ride share rivalry
This week on “Welcome to Flatch,” love is in the air! Or is it entrepreneurial spirit? Or small town rivalry? Oh, that’s right, it’s just the dulcet tones of hit ‘90s Christian boy band A-Men. (They were huge in Germany.)

Review: ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once' is transcendent and a bit exhausting
In many ways, “Everything Everywhere” is a transcendently singular film that remixes familiar genre tropes into something that feels wholly new and quietly revolutionary. In other ways, it’s just exhausting. FOX film critic Caroline Siede reviews the highly anticipated Michelle Yeoh film.
Oscars 2022: Where to stream ‘Belfast’ and what our critics thought

Review: ‘The Lost City’ almost strikes gold at SXSW
it’s not hard to imagine a version of "The Lost City" story that’s a raunchier, more subversive R-rated comedy instead of a generically palatable PG-13 rated one. Still, given those parameters, it’s a wonder that the film emerges as the relatively enjoyable romp it is — compromises and all. Here's film critic Caroline Siede's review.
At the SXSW Film Festival, Nicolas Cage watches Nicolas Cage play Nicolas Cage
Imagine that you find yourself sitting seven seats and one aisle away from Nicolas Cage at the premiere of a movie where he plays Nicolas Cage. That happened to FOX film critic Caroline Siede at the SXSW premiere of "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent."
Review: Mark Rylance is well-suited to the gangland tension of 'The Outfit'
In an entertainment industry that rewards big, showy performances, it’s nice to remember that actors like Mark Rylance still exist. The unassuming, soft-spoken performer is often most compelling when he weaponizes that apparent gentility, making it a tool his characters use to mask their motives and capabilities. And it’s that kind of subterfuge that debut director Graham Moore leverages to chilling effect in his claustrophobic Chicago thriller “The Outfit.” Here's film critic Clint Worthington's review.
‘X’ movie review: The Texas Horndog Massacre
Director Ti West returns to the big screen after a six-year absence backed by powerhouse distributor A24, whose films, for better or worse, have come to epitomize the “elevated horror” trend. And in some ways, “X” fits that mold. At its heart, however, “X’ is a down-and-dirty slasher picture, not a drama in horror drag. Here's film critic Katie Rife's review.

Streaming spotlight: ‘Outlander’ returns (at last!) with a gripping premiere
“Outlander,” the hit Starz series adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling, genre-bending novels, returned to television on Sunday, Mar. 6 with a super-sized premiere. Clocking in at 80 minutes, it might feel just a wee bit long to even the most dedicated fans.

Here's TV critic Allison Shoemaker's review.

'After Yang' review: Colin Farrell grapples with the loss of his android son
"Tone poem" and "memory play" are two of the most overused terms when it comes to indie arthouse films, yet it’s hard to think of better descriptors for writer/director Kogonada’s elegiac sci-fi family drama "After Yang." After an exuberant burst of an opening credits dance sequence, the movie quickly becomes a wistful meditation on what it means to be human, what it means to be an android and what it means to be a family. Here's film critic Caroline Siede's review.
‘The Dropout’ review: Amanda Seyfried leads TV’s latest scammer drama
Hulu’s new Elizabeth Holmes drama “The Dropout” is supremely watchable, with solid-to-great performances and a story so audacious you wouldn’t believe it if it weren’t based on real life. Yet this jaw-dropping true story ultimately feels less like a truly original piece of television than something just a touch formulaic. Here's TV critic Caroline Siede's review.

'Fresh' review: Craving a sharp, stylish satire? Bon Appétit.
When the title of “Fresh” pops up onscreen some 30-ish minutes into its expertly-paced runtime, the bold letters do exactly what they are meant to do: let the audience know that the movie has finally started. That might sound like a complaint, but it’s not. The opening act of director Mimi Cave’s assured, darkly comic debut feature immediately puts the viewer in the position of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Here's film critic Allison Shoemaker's review.
‘West Side Story’ now streaming: A dazzling musical with a dimmed love story
