This past week, Paramount greenlit a long-gestating sequel series to the iconic 1995 teen comedy, Clueless, with star Alicia Silverstone reprising her role as Cher Horowitz. Written by Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, and Jordan Weiss, and executive produced by Silverstone and the original film’s writer-director, Amy Heckerling, the upcoming series, like many contemporary legacy sequels, focuses on a grown-up Cher, who now finds herself in a totally clueless predicament as the mother of teenagers. Despite the intriguing promise, making a follow-up to the original is a fraught process, as Heckerling’s coming-of-age comedy is an undisputed cinematic triumph that has endured…

Inside the Trustor Scandal is far more subtle than most Netflix true crime documentaries. That’s partly because the crime is a big-money corporate swindle, and partly because the crooks are primarily old white buttoned-up Swedish men.

If These Walls Could Rock, a documentary directed by Tyler Measom and Craig A. Williams about legendary Hollywood hideaway the Sunset Marquis hotel, is packed with many wild rock ‘n’ roll tales. For instance… This “rock ‘n’ roll friars club,” founded in 1963 in partnership with the Sunset Strip’s Playboy Club, was where a frustrated Bruce Springsteen hurled the initial acetate of Born to Run into the hotel pool, and where he later met Born on the Fourth of July author, activist, and Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic, who inspired the Boss to write the “Born in the USA” B-side “Shut…

It’s somehow been 25 years since the first awful Super Troopers movie created by the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, which goes to show you that time flies when you’re having fun.

The third installment has now arrived, presumably indicating that these films have their fans. But if you’re not one already, Super Troopers 3 is unlikely to bring you into the fold. Yes, it’s another moronic comedy best appreciated by stoners and others who find…
