Christopher Lawrence escaped his native Kentucky without an accent thanks to the thousands of hours he spent in front of a television as a child. That’s also why he never learned how to ride a bicycle. He’s been writing about TV and movies since his days at Murray State University, when the school’s basketball coach had him reassigned at the student newspaper after just one story about the team. He’s been a professional TV critic since 2000, the Review-Journal’s TV critic since 2005 and its movie critic since 2012.
Lauren Molasky’s excitement about the upcoming romantic drama “Five Feet Apart” has nothing to do with the fact that she’s a sucker for movies about teenagers who can’t be together, even though they’re totally into each other, and everything to do with the reason why they’re so incompatible.
This isn’t one of those parody sketches that didn’t make the cut during Elba’s hosting gig on this weekend’s “Saturday Night Live.” It’s an actual, honest-to-goodness series.
Brie Larson gained the power to portray the Marvel superhero — or at least her alter ego, fighter pilot Carol Danvers — during a research trip to Southern Nevada.
UNLV student filmmakers Nicolle Petersen and Lily Campisi are on the verge of blanketing movie screens in ways never achieved by any blockbuster — not even the ones starring superheroes, Jedis or sparkly vampires.
Las Vegans Johanna Jones and Tiffanne LeMay earned a golden ticket to the next round of “American Idol.”
While the rest of the world is recoiling in horror from the allegations of rampant child sexual abuse leveled against Michael Jackson in the documentary “Leaving Neverland,” it’s largely busines as usual in Las Vegas.
“Better Things” returns Thursday for its third season, emerging from the shadow of the Louis C.K. scandal.
Zak Bagans and the rest of the Ghost Adventures Crew didn’t need to do much traveling for upcoming episodes of their Travel Channel series.
You could wait till this summer to see a new episode of “Penn Teller: Fool Us,” or you could watch one unfold live, this weekor next, for free.
“Free Solo,” starring Las Vegas climber Alex Honnold, was named best documentary feature at Sunday’s 91st Academy Awards in Los Angeles.
An evening that highlighted inclusion, from the diversity of presenters to the multiple victories by the Spanish-language “Roma,” ended with one of the most divisive best picture winners in recent memory.
Oscar ratings have been trending downward since 2014, having plummeted from 43.7 million viewers that year to an all-time low of 26.5 million in 2018.
In 1989, the last time the Oscars went without a host, the ceremony kicked off with Merv Griffin crooning “I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts,” Cyd Charisse dancing the tango and Rob Lowe singing a version of “Proud Mary” with a helium-voiced Snow White.
The Academy Awards aren’t necessarily broken, but that hasn’t stopped seemingly everyone responsible for this year’s ceremony from spinning The Wheel O’ Random Ideas in search of a fix.
