Will Smith may have won an Oscar for his performance in 2021’s King Richard, but in the 1990s, the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor solidified himself as a sci-fi powerhouse. A year after he fought aliens in 1996’s Independence Day, Smith once again found himself dealing with extraterrestrials in 1997’s Men in Black,which is now surging on streaming.

Men in Black, which also starred Tommy Lee Jones, Linda Fiorentino, Vincent D’Onofrio, Tony Shalhoub, and Rip Torn, is, as of Aug. 3, the No. 13 most-streamed movie on iTunes, according to FlixPatrol. The film is an adaptation of the Aircel Comics series The Men in Black, by Lowell Cunningham.

The sci-fi alien invasion movie comes from director Barry Sonnenfeld, who also directed Smith in 1999’s Wild Wild West, and the Men in Black sequels Men in Black II and Men in Black 3. Sonnenfeld also served as an executive producer on 2019’s Men in Black International,...

Mark Wahlberg's upcoming crime thriller has opted to forgo a theatrical release and will release on streaming later this year. The heist film hails from the creative mind behind The Nice Guys, who is set to release his first movie in seven years sinceThe Predator flopped in theaters. Wahlberg is set to portray a fictional criminal that has been played by several notable movie stars over the past few decades.

According to The InSneider, Prime Video is preparing to release Play Dirty on the platform on October 1. Shane Black's new crime drama stars Wahlberg, Lakeith Stanfield (Atlanta) and Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel).

The latest in our series of writers recommending comfort watches is a tribute to 1996’s charming restaurant-set comedy drama

“Life is meals,” observed the novelist James Salter. Big Night, Stanley Tucci’s spirited and sumptuous indie from 1996, is a film about one big meal that asks a few big questions about life, including: What is the cost of the American dream? What does food allow us to say to each other that words can’t? And what right does Marc Anthony, of all people, have to deliver one of the most charming non-speaking performances in any movie since the silent era?

Big Night follows two Italian immigrants who run a failing restaurant in 1950s New Jersey. Ambitious, high-strung Secondo is the manager, while his brother Primo (Tony Shalhoub) is the madman in the kitchen, a purist who derides the local clientele as philistines and has begun to doubt the wisdom...

Mistry, a Jio HotStar series in the news for all the wrong reasons, is a pale shadow of the original American series Monk about a detective Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) with obsessive–compulsive disorder. Given an Indian context, the series, more than its protagonist , suffers from some sort of a disorder.

The trick of making the quirky detective work is to not allow him to take himself serious, This, Tony Shalhoub achieved with minimum strenuousness in the original. Monk in Mistry transforms into Armaan Mistry. As played by Ram Kapoor, he seems to be on a vague romp with no particular agenda except to be weird and wise, and more capable of solving each case than the cop on duty Sehmat Siddiqui (Mona Singh).

Sehmat seems constantly stressed. Is it the pointlessness of the whole exercise which bothers her? The cases that Armaan and Sehmat, in that order, solve, are...

Everybody loves a cozy mystery. There's nothing quite like curling up with a warm blanket and a mystery show that wraps things up each episode, following a quirky mystery-solver of one kind or another. Whether we're following someone like murder mystery author Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) on "Murder, She Wrote" or traveling truth-teller Charlie Cale (Natasha Lyonne) on "Poker Face," there's just something about cozy mysteries that soothes the soul. Now, there's another great cozy mystery series that's joined the crew: "Elsbeth," starring Carrie Preston as the titular crime-solver. The CBS show is actually a spin-off of "The Good Wife" and "The Good Fight," on which Preston initially played unconventional Chicago attorney Elsbeth Tascioni. On her own series, however, the character is working with the New York Police Department to solve crimes instead of prosecute them.

"Elsbeth" has been praised by critics for being a fun procedural that uses the...

It wouldn’t be a Big Mouth gathering if someone from the Netflix animated series didn’t offer up an embarrassing sexual factoid from their own adolescent history. And it was Ayo Edebiri who took the prize during a post-screening Q&a session at the Egyptian Theatre for the show’s eighth and final season, revealing a roster of surprisingly eclectic childhood celebrity crushes.

Edebiri, who began as a writer on the show in its fourth season before taking over the role of Missy — and later becoming a breakout star as a writer, producer, and Emmy-winning actress on The Bear — rattled off a string of TV favorites that had captured her young fancy.

There was Tony Danza (“I used to have a big crush on him [from] Who’s the Boss reruns”), Tony Shalhoub, and The Famous Jett Jackson star Lee Thompson Young (“age-appropriate”). “And I liked John Ritter,” she added,...

Ram Kapoor Playing Lead Role In Mistry Series(Photo Credit –JioHotstar/Instagram)

The immensely talented Indian actor Ram Kapoor, who became a household name after starring in popular television shows like Bade Achhe Lagte Hain and Kasamh Se, is all set for an exciting small-screen project. The 51-year-old actor will play the lead role in Mistry, the Indian version of the Emmy-winning series Monk. Read on to learn more about Mistry, including its release date, basic plot, and streaming platform.

Mistry – Plot & Cast

According to a report by Deadline, Ram Kapoor will play the titular role of a detective named Armaan Mistry in the upcoming series. He will play an eccentric yet brilliant character who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and works as a special consultant with the Mumbai Police. In the series, Ram Kapoor’s character, who has a solid reputation, ostensibly helps solve cases that baffle even the most experienced officers.

Disney+ Hotstar has set 27 June for the premiere of “Mistry,” the Indian re-imagining of NBCUniversal’s Emmy-winning drama Monk.

The eight-episode series is produced by Banijay Asia in collaboration with Universal International Studios, giving the detective franchise its first South-Asian makeover.

Veteran actor Ram Kapoor steps into Tony Shalhoub’s shoes as Armaan Mistry, an obsessive-compulsive sleuth who now consults for the Mumbai Police.

“Armaan Mistry is a character unlike any I’ve played before… I have deep-dived into his quirks, brilliance and vulnerabilities,” Kapoor told Deadline’s Indian partners.

The cast includes Mona Singh as Acp Sehmat Siddiqui, with Shikha Talsania and Kshitish Date; filmmaker Rishab Seth directs the adaptation.

Banijay Asia chief Deepak Dhar calls the show “a seamless blend of crime, humour and heart,” adding that localising an iconic neuro-divergent hero “hits all the right chords” with Indian audiences.

Linfield Ng, VP at NBCUniversal Formats, said Kapoor...

Season three stars Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, and Leslie Bibb posed together on the blue carpet as they arrived at the 2025 Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront on Wednesday (May 14) held at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Normally, Conan O’Brien and the “Inside the NBA” stars get the biggest laughs at a Warner Bros. Discovery upfront. O’Brien wasn’t there, instead appearing via a quick, albeit hysterical, video mocking the wonkiness of ad speak. And despite TNT’s loss of the NBA , legend-turned-analyst Shaquille O’Neal still dropped by, but as part of a gag for the DC team promoting their upcoming “Superman” film.

Instead, the audience of ad buyers gathered at Madison Square Garden for Tuesday’s Wbd upfront saved their biggest guffaws for the admittedly hysterical announcement that the company would rebrand its streaming service “HBO Max” — two years after dumping the “HBO” part of the name to just go “Max.”

“I know you’re all shocked, but the good news is I have a drawer full of stationary from the last time around,” HBO and Max content chief Casey Bloys joked to the crowd...

Taking a seat at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday morning, I scanned the crowd, soaking wet from the rain, and wondered how many gathered at the Warner Bros. Discovery upfront had any idea that they were about to get punked.

Two years after shoving the rebrand of streamer Max (née HBO Max) down advertiser throats, the “HBO” is being surgically reattached to the platform on which the company’s future hinges. Curiously, this development wasn’t front-loaded in the presentation. It came 30 minutes in, after multiple mentions of “Max,” when Casey Bloys arrived.

“With the course we are on and the strong momentum we’re enjoying,” said Bloys, “we believe HBO Max far better represents our current consumer proposition.”

The proposition was received in the room with laughter and a smattering of “oh wows,” though no one appeared to interpret the news as a joke. If anybody was grieving Max,...

CNN unveiled a slate of new originals that includes series featuring Eva Longoria and Tony Shalhoub and the renewal of Have I Got News For You.

The lineup was unveiled today as part of the Warner Bros. Discovery upfront presentation.

Eva Longoria: Searching for France, debuting in 2026, will be the latest in the network’s Searching For franchise. This fall, the network will debut the international food and travel series Tony Shalhoub Breaking Bread.

Announced earlier were two new documentary features, I’m Chevy Chase and You’re Not and In the Prime of Life, as the network puts new focus on its CNN Films unit. Other highlights: Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog are executive producers of the original series Decades in Sports, while the network will mark the 250th anniversary of the United States with the project tentatively titled This Land Is Your Land, with October Films as producer.

Every fictional detective written in the last 100 years has a little bit of Sherlock Holmes in them. But procedural dramedy series "Monk" is patterned very explicitly after "Sherlock Holmes," down to its ensemble cast. The lynchpin of that cast is Adrian Monk, a San Francisco detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder (Ocd) and extreme germaphobia.

Though Monk shares Holmes' power of observation, it's not a perfect comparison. Monk has a tragic backstory that Holmes didn't. Similarly, Holmes is arrogant while Monk is awkward. And whereas Holmes only has Dr. John Watson by his side, Monk had two different sidekicks.

In the first two-and-a-half seasons, Monk's personal assistant/nurse/Watson is Sharona Fleming (Bitty Schram), a no-bs Jersey gal. Then, after "Monk" season 3, episode 9, "Mr. Monk Takes His Medicine," Sharona abruptly departs, moving back to New Jersey and remarrying her ex-husband. In the following episode, "Mr. Monk and the Red Herring," Monk meets...

Nostalgia seems to be all the rage at Peacock and NBC with the Suits spinoff Suits LA and the recent announcement that Mark Feuerstein will reprise his role as Dr. Henry “Hank Lawson” in a Royal Pains reboot.

If you miss The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Prime Video has a brand new show from the same creator that's a must-watch!

Prime Video has been known for some big shows, although not as much of an awards darling as other streamers. A major exception was The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, the writer/producer behind the beloved The WB/The CW dramedy Gilmore Girls, the series focused on Midge Maisel, a 1950s housewife who, after discovering her husband’s cheating, embarks on a career as a stand-up comic.

The show was a huge success not just with audiences but critics as well. It’s the most honored Prime Video original show with multiple Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG award wins for stars Rachel Brosnahan, Alex Borstein, and Tony Shalhoub. Sherman-Palladino herself earned Emmys for Best Comedy Series and her writing.

Maisel is loved for showing Sherman-Palladino’s wonderful wit,...

Mark Wahlberg kicked off this year with the aviation thriller, Flight Risk, which was directed by Mel Gibson, but nearly 20 years ago, he starred as a one-man army in an action thriller dominating streaming charts. Wahlberg features alongside Michael Peña and Kate Mara in Shooter, the 2007 political thriller following an expert marksman living in exile who is forced back into his old life after being double-crossed and blamed for an assassination attempt on the President’s life. Shooter has been streaming on Paramount+ for years, but the film has recently resurfaced in the streamer’s top 10, sitting at #5 at the time of writing. Shooter earned scores of 47% from critics and 80% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and the film grossed $95 million at the box office against a $61 million budget.

Shooter is based on the novel Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter, and Jonathan Lemkin adapted the book with Antoine Fuqua directing.

Miriam "Midge" Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a woman of many facets. However, if there’s one thing fans should know about this complex character, it’s that she also leads a comfortable life. This is why her large apartment has been enamored by many, with its 1950s design and stylish interior. Now, fans can have a chance to live like Mrs. Maisel themselves, as the New York City property is now available for sale after being off the market for decades. But there's one obvious catch: It comes with a hefty price tag.

The apartment is now being listed for $1.75 millionafter it remained unavailable for purchase for over 30 years. The 404 Riverside Drive property boasts oversized windows and a total of eight rooms and two bathrooms, complete with two decorative fireplaces. Located inside The Strathmore, built in the pre-war, the building has maintained most of its...

The swanky uptown pad that was once home to Midge Maisel and her parents is officially on the market — but it won’t come cheap!

The property is being listed for the first time in over 30 years, with a bonus of being part of TV and film history. The home was featured in Prime Video’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel for five seasons, and was also used for Woody Allen’s 1997 film Deconstructing Harry.

It’s not every day that a long-forgotten romantic comedy resurfaces on Netflix and claims a top spot on the trending charts. But that’s exactly what’s happened with Life or Something Like It, starring Angelina Jolie, which has recently found new life on the streaming platform. Despite a dismal 28% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a lukewarm reception during its theatrical run, the film is suddenly drawing the attention of a modern audience—one that’s perhaps more open to its quirky charm and existential heart.

A Different Kind of Rom-Com

At first glance, Life or Something Like It seems like a standard early-2000s rom-com. Jolie plays Lanie Kerrigan, a Seattle-based television reporter with platinum blonde hair, a meticulously curated life, and a high-powered career path that appears to be heading in one direction—up. But her controlled world is shaken when a homeless street prophet named...

Back when flip phones ruled and crime shows were everywhere, Monk stood out like a sore thumb, one that had to be washed 27 times. Adrian Monk wasn’t your typical detective. He was a genius with germ issues, a human magnifying glass with 312 phobias, and the reason millions of us developed an odd respect for hand wipes. Tony Shalhoub made Monk iconic, but the rest of the gang, Natalie, Stottlemeyer, Randy, and even Sharona, brought their own brand of chaos, charm, and comedy.

For eight glorious seasons, they solved murders, wrestled personal baggage, and somehow made Ocd oddly heartwarming. After the show wrapped in 2009, fans waited years for a comeback. Then boom, 2023’s Mr. Monk’s Last Case dropped like a nostalgic mic, reuniting the core crew. It reminded us just how much we missed this quirky crime-solving family. Now it’s 2025, and we’re snooping around like Monk himself...

Somewhere amid the mounds of "content" on Netflix's servers are some pretty good romantic comedies. The streamer isn't too bad when it comes to this particular genre, offering everything from beloved '90s classics such as "Notting Hill" to more modern hits such as Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney's frisky and fun "Anyone But You." Sadly, "Life or Something Like It" probably won't be making any lists of the best Netflix rom-coms anytime soon — though there might be hope yet.

What on earth is "Life or Something Like It?" Well, that sort of gets to the issue with this movie, which is that nobody saw it when it debuted in theaters back in 2002. Starring Angelina Jolie and Edward Burns, the film follows a reporter who interviews a supposed prophet, only to be told that her demise is imminent and that she's wasting her life. Yes, this is a rom-com,...

Glen Powell picked up CinemaCon’s Star of the Year award Thursday night, and he dedicated a piece of his acceptance speech to sharing a story about one of his early jobs when he was, well, not the movie star he is today.

The gig came courtesy of Robert Rodriguez’s 2003 franchise effort, Spy Kids 3: Game Over, and it marked Powell’s first film role. The part was so small that he’s listed on IMDb as “Long-fingered boy.” But something happened on set that Powell has never forgotten.

“I don’t know if Cheech Marin is in the room,” Powell said as he scanned the crowd seated inside the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. “Hey, my boy Cheech.”

Marin happened to be seated next to his longtime creative partner Tommy Chong as they were on the honoree program as well. The duo picked up a career...

Spy Kids star Carla Gugino looks back on one major problem she had with her role in the film franchise. She played the kids' mother, Ingrid Cortez, alongside Antonio Banderas as their father.

Gugino told People that she felt too young to be the mother of two preteen children when filming Robert Rodriguez's Spy Kids movie, which was released back in 2001. "I was 27 when I did that role, so I was way too young to play the part, because I was supposed to have been a spy for 10 years, and then I had two kids, who were like 9 and 11," she said.

She was given some wise advice by Antonio Banderas, with the seasoned action star telling her not to worry about her concerns too much. "Robert looked at me and was like, 'You do your job and no one will notice.'" Banderas' words of wisdom worked, and the...

The fantasy genre has paved the way for multiple popular shows like Supernatural and Game of Thrones, which have become huge staples in pop culture. As iconic and bingeworthy as those series are, they feel flawed in certain areas, specifically with their endings. Meanwhile, there is an expansive library of hidden fantasy TV gems that don't get the recognition they deserve.

Whether overshadowed by competition, didn't have enough promotion or were unjustly canceled after one or two seasons, these fantasy shows have largely fallen under the radar. Nevertheless, dedicated fandoms have acknowledged these shows for the aesthetically pleasing and wildly creative narratives they are. From short-lived series like Lovecraft Country to action epics like Into the Badlands, these fantasy TV entries are entertaining with each passing episode.

For eight seasons, "Monk" struck that perfect balance between hard-cracking detective work and comedy. Police procedurals were a dime a dozen in the early 2000s, but the thing to set this one apart from its contemporaries was the fact the titular Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) dealt with obsessive-compulsive disorder. This fueled his 312 phobias, which occasionally got in the way of him solving cases, but they also allowed him to view the world in a unique way that would help him solve various crimes.

"Monk" ended in 2009, but fans got one last fix thanks to 2023's made-for-Peacock movie, "Mr. Monk's Last Case," which /Film called "an overdue reunion" with much of the central cast reprising their roles. But it's not like the cast was kept in stasis for 13 years between the show's ending and the reunion. Many of them went on to other things, filling out their filmographies with myriad other projects.

Timothée Chalamet’s expression was one of genuine shock when he heard his name called out at the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. However, the talented thespian has his sights set on much more than simply his SAG honor for Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role.No, Chalamet doesn’t have any intention of resting on his laurels, and the star of A Complete Unknown made it crystal clear during his acceptance speech that he wants to be one of Hollywood's “greats.” Chalamet said:

"I can’t downplay the significance of this award [known as The Actor] because it means the most to me, and I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is I’m really in the pursuit of greatness. I know people usually don’t talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats. I’m inspired by the greats here tonight.

Often likened to the hit early 2000s series Monk starring Tony Shalhoub, ITV's Professor T has managed to capture a similar sense of classy wit and clever crime-solving, starring British comedy legend Ben Miller. After a fourth season was announced prior to the third's debut episode, the weight was on the shoulders of this Belgian drama-inspired show's Season 3 to deliver on what many saw as the most refreshing crime series on British TV at the time, to repay those in charge who had the faith to blindly renew. Thankfully, that faith paid off, with Season 3 accumulating a greater average viewership per episode than Season 2, and even upping the quality across the board.
