The dystopian genre has been behind some of the most popular movies and shows in recent years, but it wouldn’t have gotten such traction without the golden years of the 2010s. Teen films didn’t always receive the respect they deserved, but one dystopian teen series gripped viewers, and it never let go.

Adapted from Suzanne Collins’ wildly relevant trilogy, The Hunger Games takes place…
‘#SKYKING’ Director Patricia E. Gillespie on the Life and Death of Beebo Russell, the Ground Crew Agent Who Stole a Commercial Jet

Just a guy whose long hours, less-than-minimum-wage pay, isolation, and untreated mental health issues drove him to desperate measures. “This was a story where a man’s suicide unfortunately had been glamorized, politicized, sensationalized,” Gillespie told Decider…
Merciful Mother Mary, deliver us from evil. Or from whatever this risibly self-serious metaphysical nonsense about performance and possession, creation and exorcism, aims to be. David Lowery is an adventurous director, alternating studio material like Pete’s Dragon, The Old Man & the Gun and Peter Pan & Wendy with pleasingly idiosyncratic projects like the poetic mood piece about time and loss, A Ghost Story, or the imaginative chivalric fantasy, The Green Knight. His new film belongs decidedly in the latter grouping, but it’s all style, no substance, despite lots of heat from Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel in what’s essentially a two-hander. As a global pop sensation whose…

Vice President JD Vance — a Catholic convert — has weighed in on President Donald Trump’s feud with Pope Leo XIV, suggesting the religious leader should “stick to matters of morality.” “When it comes to the disagreements with the Vatican, we’re going to have disagreements from time to time,” Vance, 41, told Fox News on Monday, April 13. “I think it’s a good thing actually that the Pope is advocating for the things that he cares about. But we’re always going to have disagreements on matters of public policy.” The Vice President went on, “The Pope has been critical of…
