While the HBO adaptation of Ray Bradbury's 1953 dystopian novelFahrenheit 451underperformed when it was initially released, the film is now finally seeing some success on streaming.

Per FlixPatrol, Fahrenheit 451 now ranks as the #10 most streamed film on HBO in the United States as of Aug. 1. The film falls just behind A Minecraft Movie at #9 and is also the second Michael B. Jordan film on the chart, with Sinners claiming the #2 spot. The TV movie directed by Ramin Bahrani, best known for 99 Homes, stars Jordan as Guy Montag, a "fireman" whose job is to burn books. The 2018 adaptation came about over fifty years after the 1966 version, directed by François Truffaut and starring Julie Christie, Oskar Werner, and Cyril Cusack.

Fahrenheit 451 (2018) follows Guy Montag, a fireman living in Cleveland working under Captain Beatty (Michael Shannon). As a Fireman, Guy must burn books that have been banned in the United States.

Michael B. Jordan first broke out on television with his role as Wallace in the inaugural season of HBO's highly acclaimed drama, The Wire (2002). He subsequently appeared as a series regular on the ABC soap opera All My Children (2003–2006) and later delivered a standout performance in the NBC sports drama Friday Night Lights (2009–2011).

In the past decade, Jordan has become best known for his collaborations with writer-director Ryan Coogler – including Fruitvale Station (2013), Creed (2015), Black Panther (2018), Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), and Sinners (2025) – all of which earned him critical acclaim. He returned to his titular role in Creed II (2018) and Creed III (2023), the latter marking his directorial debut.

Jordan's broader filmography also includes roles in Chronicle (2012), That Awkward Moment (2014), Fantastic Four (2015), and Just Mercy (2019), in which he played civil rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson. However, it's Jordan's dystopian movie, adapted from an acclaimed book, that is seeing a resurgence on streaming, seven years after its initial release.

Mischa Barton is the unexpectedly canny flower-bothering sleuth here in a not very mysterious costume thriller

Serviceable but underwhelming, this murder mystery is very old-school in every way, reminiscent of many an Agatha Christie page-turner and even more so of Christie’s innumerable imitators. It’s like someone used AI to write the script, plugging in parameters such as “set it in the 1930s”, “plucky Englishwoman protagonist” and “ethnically diverse cast of supporting characters/suspects”.

And so we have Mischa Barton playing Miranda Green, a florist by trade and naturally an avid reader of Christie; she gets a mysterious invitation and train tickets to visit the home of textile magnate Lord Findlay on an island. On the train, Miranda meets several other guests, all as bemused as she is at the invite: rangy and rude Yank Walker (Chris Browning), smooth Brit lawyer Lawrence Kane (Seamus Dever), Spanish waitress Carmen Blanco...

“Sort Of” has already gotten its send-off, but as the Canadian sitcom premieres its third and final season on Max, it’ll sort of do it all over again. The big-hearted Peabody Award-winning comedy wrapped up last month on its CBC home but will say goodbye one more as Season 3 premieres on the streamer this Thursday, Jan. 18. In the final season, Sabi is coming to terms with the feelings of grief (and the unexpected sense of freedom) that comes with the death of their father. Now, without the constraints of his expectations, Sabi will confront big questions about their identity, prompting major life changes while still trying to balance their roles as child, caregiver, worker, and person. “Sort Of” Season 3 will debut on Max with two episodes on Thursday, Jan. 18, followed by two episodes weekly through Feb. 8.

The upcoming third season of CBC and Max original comedy “Sort Of” will be its final season, co-creators Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo have announced.

The final eight-episode season will premiere in Canada on the CBC Gem streaming service on Nov. 17, releasing two episodes per week until the series finale on Dec. 8.

“We set out to tell a story about a kind of transition in Sabi’s life, and how those around them also change — and we feel in this coming season that story came to an end in a way that felt right for us,” Baig and Filippo said in a statement.

“Sort Of” follows Sabi Mehboob, played by Baig, a gender expansive millennial who is exhausted with changing themselves for the comfort of others. In the third and final season, the series will explore Sabi’s journey coming to terms with feelings of both grief and freedom after their father’s passing.

Tatiana Maslany, Elliot Page, Martin Short and Ingrid Haas are among Canadian actors supporting a letter calling on fellow performers in British Columbia to vote down a proposal by American producers to extend their Union of British Columbia Performers/Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists (Ubcp/Actra) labor deal for another year to March 31, 2025 in return for a 5 percent wage increase.

That agreement between the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers (AMPTP) and its local counterpart, the B.C. branch of the Canadian Media Producers Association, and local representatives for IATSE 891, IATSE 669, Teamsters 155, the Directors Guild of Canada’s B.C. branch and Ubcp/Actra, now faces ratification votes by the wider memberships.

HBO Go, HBO Now, HBO Max, Max — the name may change, but the search for compelling new shows to watch remains the same. Primetimer is taking some of the guesswork out of the equation with our weekly feature To the Max, where we'll share recommendations for classic shows, underrated gems, and water-cooler series.

There’s a scene during the first episode of Sort Of that touches upon the core of the series. The show’s protagonist Sabi (Bilal Baig), a non-binary Pakistani millennial, is working their shift at a LGBTQ+ bookstore/bar as Bessy (Grace Lynn Kung) laments over her husband’s recent decision to let Sabi go from their part-time nannying gig. “I’m going to miss you,” Bessy earnestly tells them. “Are you going to miss me?” But Sabi evades answering, not yet ready to confront the weight of their emotions.

Invitation to Murder is a mystery film directed by Stephen Shimek.

Does a story about England, an invitation, different characters and a murder to be solved sound familiar? They’re called whodonit, and the greatest exponent of the genre was the ever-great Agatha Christie.

Here’s a charming film that captures the essence, step by step, without the minimum intent of originality.

Delightful in its evocation of English traditionalism.

And in its consequent repetition, too.

Movie Review

Curiously enough, this is actually a French production in which everything takes us to England, to those stories that, although already a bit worn out by repetition, continue to captivate. A good mystery for a film that, without a doubt, we have already seen.

There is nothing original in a film that is a tribute to the English writer and, in the end, little more than a rather televised episode that may entertain...

"You gotta get down into the muck if you wanna find the truth." Lionsgate has revealed the official trailer for another whodunit murder mystery movie called Invitation to a Murder, which is skipping theaters entirely and is debuting on VOD directly in April this spring. Once you get a look at this, you'll understand exactly why. This is some low rent cheap junk, and the cast is especially mediocre, too. Set in the South of England in 1934. For no apparent reason and also like five other unrelated people, Miranda, a 28-year-old florist, is invited for the weekend in the mansion of billionaire Lewis Findley. What's become of their absent host? And who just murdered one of the guests in cold blood? Of course, there's only one way to find out – pay the money to rent and watch this movie. It stars Mischa Barton, Chris Browning, Seamus Dever, Giles Matthey, Grace Lynn Kung,...

The end-of-the-year holidays are far behind us at this point, but we’re still celebrating Christmas with the latest episode of the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series. In this episode, we’re looking back at the 2007 film P2 (watch it Here), which was directed by Franck Khalfoun from a screenplay he wrote with producers Alexandre Aja and Grégory Levasseur. To find out all about this underseen horror thriller, check out the video embedded above!

P2 has the following synopsis: It’s Christmas Eve. The last employee to leave her office, ambitious corporate climber Angela arrives in the deserted parking garage only to discover her car won’t start. She’s relieved when Thomas, a seemingly friendly security guard, comes along and offers to help. Unable to get the engine to start, he invites Angela to share a small Christmas meal with him. She laughs off the invitation...

Sort Of will soon wrap its second season on HBO Max, but viewers can rest easy knowing that that will not be the end of Sabi's story. The series has been renewed for a third season.

Starring series creator Bilal Baig, Gray Powell, Ellora Patnaik, Amanda Cordner, Supinder Wraich, Gregory Ambrose Calderone, Kaya Kanashiro, Aden Bedard, Becca Blackwell, Grace Lynn Kung, Alanna Bale, and Cassandra James, the series follows gender-fluid Sabi Mehboob (Baig) as they try to balance both their professional and personal life.

In the second season premiere of the wonderful Canadian dramedy Sort Of, Sabi Mehboob (Bilal Baig) expresses a hope of finding “normal love.” Asked what that phrase means, Sabi explains, “You know: easy, uncomplicated — probably what Rachel McAdams has.”

Regardless of what Rachel McAdams is actually dealing with in that department, Sabi’s own love life — and their life in general — tends to be difficult and complicated. They are the twentysomething, gender-fluid child of Pakistani immigrants. They work as a nanny for the children of Paul (Gray Powell) and Bessy...

Sort Of is returning soon for its second season on HBO Max, and the streaming service has released a trailer and a poster.

They balance their roles as a Pakistani-Canadian child of immigrant parents, a bartender at an LGBTQ café and bookstore, and a caregiver to the young children of a professional couple. Baig and Fab Filippo created the show.

Starring Grace Lynn Kung and Sofia Banzhaf the show is set up as a police procedural built around a bitter ex-cop turned private investigator and a naïve but ambitious newcomer.

Sort Of is returning for a second season on CBC and HBO Max. The comedy series was renewed by the Canadian channel and the American streaming service only three months after its premiere in October.

Starring Bilal Baig, the Sort Of series follows gender-fluid Sabi Mehboob as they balance their roles as a bartender at an LGBTQ bookstore/cafe, a caregiver for a professional couple's children, and as the offspring of immigrant parents from Pakistan.

Clarice Episode 13

Clarice, episode 13, “Family is Freedom,” only closes some of the cliffhangers “Father Time” ended on. We still don’t know whether Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) will be reinstated into the ViCAP team, and we never find out what happened to young Clarice when her Sheriff father left her at the mercy of some pissed off criminals.

The last image we saw of that encounter, when Clarice ran it through her repressed memory bank, was a young Clarice with a gun held to her head as her father hangs his head in shame in the distance. The men who said they were cheated, and called Clarice’s dad a criminal and a coward, warned him he couldn’t hide behind his little girl. We never learn how that scenario plays out. How does she live through that incident to become the wild card federal cop she is today?...

This Clarice review contains spoilers.

Clarice Episode 12

In Clarice episode 12, “Father Time,” Agent Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) finally loses her shit and clocks someone, and the series is better off for it. The young agent who rose to the top of a media circus on her first serial killer case has been scrutinized, chastised, hypnotized, and downsized since returning to the field. She’s had to run amok straight into danger just to get a point across which will solve cases. Tonight, Clarice lashes out at everyone, packs her boxes, and runs until her legs give out. It provides the most satisfying episode the series has given so far.

Starling has even had enough of her chosen, as opposed to assigned, therapist. Dr. Renee Li (Grace Lynn Kung), is the very definition of calming. Just a few words from her mouth usually silence the lambs in Clarice’s head. But...

This Clarice review contains spoilers.

Clarice Episode 8

Clarice episode 8, “Add-a-Bead,” mirrors the procedural with the psychological. Clarice (Rebecca Breeds) lets her emotions find a safe landing place as her ViCAP unit investigates the suicide of a medical student who jumped to her death.

The opening segments of Clarice episodes are very atmospheric and color the entire installment. The glass ball in the doctor’s office reflects deep memories, and Clarice reflexively responds. Dr. Renee Li (Grace Lynn Kung) is the psychiatrist the agent chose over all the doctors which were ordered by the agency, and it is because she speaks the same language.

The work, the work, it’s all about the work. Clarice just suffered post-traumatic stress in a job where trauma is a daily occurrence, take a day off. The hypnotist is very effective. Up until this point, Clarice would jump down the throat of anyone who so...

This Clarice review contains spoilers.

Clarice Episode 7

Clarice, episode 7, “Ugly Truth,” is a monster-of-the-week exploration of a cold case procedural. It also moves the overall arc along as true ugliness is found within. “Some monster killed two little kids,” Ardelia Mapp (Devyn Tyler) says. The episode opens with a hideous image, foreshadowed and cinematically darkened by the growing buzz of a swarm of flies.

The opening shot is quite masterful. It takes a while for the idea to register that flies are drawn to dead things until just a moment before we see what died. The flies should be given credit, as they will continue to recur as both a character and mood-setter over the course of the early investigation. Clarice routinely plays with forced perspective and stalled chronology to move the inner story. The camera-work goes into overtime this episode as clues, details and emotional states are captured through the shifting flow of time.

This Clarice review contains spoilers.

Clarice Episode 6

Clarice, episode 6, “How Does It Feel to Be So Beautiful,” opens in the aftermath of Clarice’s (Rebecca Breeds) nearly-lethal encounter with the recently deceased Marilyn Felker, and it brings her back to square one. The ViCAP agent is put on administrative leave, ordered to return to therapy, and given a last supper by the Attorney General, Ruth Martin (Jayne Atkinson). But it begins with a regressive hypnosis session that opens up a world of moth-eaten fantasia.

Agent Shaan Tripathi (Kal Penn) says Organized Crime believes in Dr. Renee Li (Grace Lynn Kung), who was recruited to plumb the depths of Clarice’s memories. The agent got sucker punched while attempting to escape from Dr. Felker’s personal intensive care unit, but doesn’t remember if she got a good look at the face of her attacker. Texas lawmakers are currently debating whether...

With the third season of “Star Trek: Discovery” airing its finale on Thursday, Jan. 7, it is difficult to overstate what a significant milestone this season marked for representation across the franchise.

Case in point, the series introduced a romantic relationship between the first non-binary and transgender characters in the “Star Trek” universe, played respectively by a non-binary and a trans actor.

This recent spotlight on inclusive casting is part of an extended conversation that longtime fans like Phil Yu have been following over the years. To celebrate the steppingstones, Yu, who founded the “Angry Asian Man” blog centering on Asian American representation in Hollywood, launched a podcast in August, on which he hosts hour-long conversations with “All the Asians on ‘Star Trek.'”

While Yu half-jokingly titled his podcast, he tells Variety now that “the name points out that there are just enough [Asians] involved to make a podcast out of...

"We have an important task for you..." HBO has launched a full-length official trailer for Ramin Bahrani's Fahrenheit 451, a new feature film adaptation of Ray Bradbury's seminal work about a dystopian book-burning future America (which was made into a film in 1966). Oh my does this look good, and frighteningly accurate in relation to what's currently happening in America. This version stars Michael B. Jordan as Guy Montag, a young fireman who struggles with his role as a law enforcer. The full cast includes Michael Shannon, Sofia Boutella, Keir Dullea, Chris Gleason, Martin Donovan, Lilly Singh, Grace Lynn Kung, Joe Pingue, and Sean Jones. I am so, so in for this and can't wait to watch the entire film. Trust in Bahrani! He's a great filmmaker, and I have a good feeling he's made one of his strongest yet with this film. Here's the full-length trailer for Ramin Bahrani's Fahrenheit 451,...

Starring Michael B. Jordan and Michael Shannon, Fahrenheit 451 is based on Ray Bradbury’s classic novel where, in the near future, the media is an opiate, history is rewritten and “firemen” burn books.

Jordan plays Montag, a young fireman who struggles with his role as law enforcer. Battling his mentor, fire captain Beatty, played by Shannon, he forsakes his world in an effort to regain his humanity.

A new trailer for the HBO series has premiered and it looks good enough for me to be intrigued.

Sofia Boutella, Lilly Singh, Laura Harrier, Martin Donovan, Andy McQueen, Dylan Taylor, Grace Lynn Kung and Kier Dullea also star.

Fahrenheit 451 airs on HBO May 19, 2018.

"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." This is a must watch! HBO has unveiled the first teaser trailer for their new adaptation of the novel Fahrenheit 451, directed by filmmaker Ramin Bahrani (Goodbye Solo, At Any Price, 99 Homes). Adapted directly from Ray Bradbury's seminal work about a dystopian book-burning future America (which was made into a film in 1966), this version stars Michael B. Jordan as Guy Montag, a young fireman who struggles with his role as a law enforcer. The full cast also includes Michael Shannon, Sofia Boutella, Keir Dullea, Chris Gleason, Martin Donovan, Lilly Singh, Grace Lynn Kung, Joe Pingue, and Sean Jones. This looks so damn good, way better than I was expecting it to look. I'm fully ready for this, and I feel like Bahrani might've been the perfect director for it after all. Fire this up.

Confined to an asylum for the criminally insane for the past four years, Nica (Dourif) is wrongly convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family. But when her psychiatrist introduces a new group-therapy tool — a “Good Guy” doll — a string of grisly deaths plague the asylum and Nica starts to wonder if maybe she isn’t crazy after all. Andy (Vincent), Chucky’s now-grownup nemesis from the original Child’s Play, races to Nica’s aid. But to save her he’ll have to get past Tiffany (Tilly), Chucky’s long-ago bride, who will do anything, no matter how deadly or depraved, to help her beloved devil doll.
