What’s StreamingJOJO RABBIT (2019) Rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. “Remember that joke Kate Winslet has in ‘Extras,’ where she says you’d better make a Holocaust film if you want an Oscar?” Taika Waititi asked in an interview with The New York Times last year. “People might think that’s kind of true, but there was never in my mind any reality where this film was going to be part of that conversation.” He was talking about “Jojo Rabbit,” the satire he wrote and directed, which had become an unlikely awards-season contender and would win him an Oscar for best adapted screenplay. The movie, based a novel by Christine Leunens, follows Johannes (Roman Griffin Davis), a 10-year-old in Nazi Germany whose imaginary best friend is Adolf Hitler (Waititi) and whose mother, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson), is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their house. The film “risks going wrong in a dozen different ways,” A.O. Scott wrote in his review for The Times, “and manages to avoid at least half of them.”THE CALL OF THE WILD (1972) Stream on Amazon and Tubi. Harrison Ford returns to theaters this weekend in a new adaptation of “The Call of the Wild,” Jack London’s 1903 novel about an outdoorsman and a dog. This earlier adaptation casts Charlton Heston in the lead role (the human one). Those curious to compare Heston’s and Ford’s takes might revisit it, but beware: Heston once called this film “the worst movie I ever made.”ON POINT Stream on Crackle. Guest appearances by the N.B.A. players Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Zion Williamson add a bit of celebrity might to this amateur basketball documentary series — but if the young players in the show have their dreams fulfilled, they’ll become stars, too. “On Point” follows high schoolers playing A.A.U. basketball. Reminiscent of shows like “Last Chance U,” it follows them on the court and off.PLAYING FOR KEEPS Stream on Sundance Now. Those who prefer their sports with a side of murder-mystery can turn to this Australian series, which centers on the wives and girlfriends of a group of fictional Australian soccer players. Their flashy lives might be enviable to some — but the death of a player brings unsettling mystery and media scrutiny.What’s on TVTHE UPSIDE (2019) 6 p.m. on Showtime 2. The 2012 French dramedy “The Intouchables,” about an unlikely friendship between an uptight aristocrat with paraplegia and an employee, was a box-office sensation overseas. This Hollywood remake stars Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart. It keeps the main relationship the same (Cranston plays the rich man) but moves the action to New York. “Some squinting will be required to block out the race and class stereotyping, as well as the puddles of sentiment scattered throughout the highly predictable plot,” Jeannette Catsoulis wrote in her review for The Times. “Yet Jon Hartmere’s script has genuinely funny moments and is blessedly short on crassness: even a scene involving catheters and colon hygiene is less cringey than you might expect.” More

The Lisa Marie Turtle depicter felt sidelined by her former co-stars for being excluded from the reboot project and other cast member celebratory events.
Feb 20, 2020
AceShowbiz – Lark Voorhies was left feeling “slighted and hurt” after learning she’d not been invited to take part in the reboot of her much-loved TV show “Saved by the Bell”.
The 45-year-old actress starred as the fashion-forward Lisa Turtle in 86 episodes of the programme from 1989 to 1992.
But when it came to rebooting the series, Lark wasn’t included – despite her former co-stars Tiffani Thiessen, Elizabeth Berkley, Mario Lopez, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar all returning.
Reflecting on the snub on “The Dr. Oz Show” on Tuesday, February 18, 2020, Lark, who was primarily on the programme to talk about her bipolar diagnosis, read a passage from one of her journals, sharing, “I have to admit I did feel a bit slighted and hurt when I was not invited to be part of the Saved by the Bell reunion, as well as other cast members events.”
“Yet, of course, I also realised that having this puzzling disorder may have played a major part in that factual decision. With that in mind, I am truly thankful for having had the chance to work on a show that has been so successful.”
Lark has also been excluded from numerous bonding events her castmates have had since the show ended, such as a dinner last year 2019 to celebrate “30 years of friendship.”
And on being left out of such social occasions, the screen star mused, “They have the right to do that and they’re happy in their element and they can have it, certainly… (But) family isn’t kept complete without its lead.”
Dustin Diamond, who played Screech in the teen TV show, is also not expected to be part of the reboot.
The “Saved by the Bell” revival will air on NBC’s planned streaming service, Peacock.

” ‘The Auteur’ unites the wildly imaginative filmmaker Taika Waititi and the barbed wit of Peter Warren with the undeniable Jude Law in a bloody love letter to the movies that will make you simultaneously die laughing and want to run for your life,” Amy Israel, Showtime’s executive vice president of Scripted Programming, writes in a statement.

Despite the drama involving Tanya Sam and her fiance, Shiana White reveals that she is in for burying the hatchet with Tanya, adding that her ‘intention were not to hurt her.’
Feb 19, 2020
AceShowbiz – In the current season 12 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”, Shiana White a.k.a. The Cookie Lady made a debut in the February 9 episode after Kenya Moore brought her to a bruch with other ladies including Tanya Sam. That allowed her to detail what actually happened following reports that Tanya’s long-time fiance Paul Judge flirted with her at one occasion. She received huge flack because of it, but Shiana revealed that she couldn’t care less about the backlash.
When asked about her portrayal on the Bravo reality series, the owner of aHauteCookie in Atlanta hinted that the production edited her part to make her look bad. “I know myself and who I am at the beginning and end of the day. I also know what it takes to make a successful reality show and they have to edit to bring the drama and keep ratings,” she told TheJasmineBRAND.
Shiana also revealed that she wasn’t bothered with the hate comments. “I grew up in South Central L.A. so I can handle the hate,” she shared. “Some of it is funny…I don’t regret ANYTHING EVER! Everything happens for a reason and it has already been written!”
Tanya appeared to have nonchalant reaction to the whole drama, but Shiana still believed that Paul’s action to her was “inappropriate and a bit disrespectful, seeing he has a whole package at home all wrapped up tight.”
At the end of the interview, Shiana said that she wished Tanya “would’ve had an open mind about it, seeing as how I was invited to tell her, I’m sure it made her respond how she has.” Despite everything, Shiana revealed that she was in for burying the hatchet with Tanya, admitting, “I would like to… My intention were not to hurt her.”

What’s StreamingTHE CHEF SHOW Stream on Netflix. It’s easy to see why Jon Favreau and Roy Choi signed on to host this food travel show. One of the new episodes finds them chomping down smoked fish at Wexler’s Deli in Southern California. (“It looks so good,” Choi marvels.) Another begins with footage of the two sampling red wine given to them by Wolfgang Puck. (Favreau’s conclusion: “It’s good.”) Other highlights from the latest batch of episodes, released Wednesday, include the pair getting a lesson in cooking Peruvian ceviche from the chefs and restaurateurs Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken, and cooking bread and biscuits with the filmmaker Sam Raimi. Raimi seems mildly envious of the pair’s gig: “Boy,” he says while holding a steaming bowl of delicious-looking food, “this is one of the toughest shoots I’ve been on.”JUSTIN BIEBER: SEASONS Stream on YouTube. Last week, Justin Bieber released “Changes,” his first album in a half-decade, in which he attempts to reimagine himself by fully embracing R&B. Accompanying the new album is “Seasons,” a YouTube series that chronicles his return, his music-making process and his struggles with stardom, which include several years of drug abuse. “The first few episodes of ‘Seasons’ are about, loosely, how the sausage gets made,” Jon Caramanica wrote in a recent article in The New York Times. “But the subsequent ones are something else altogether — a picture of how the sausage almost doesn’t get made.”What’s on TVYEAR OF THE RABBIT 10:30 p.m. on IFC. The writer-performer Matt Berry is known overseas for playing a sleazy corporate executive and failed actor in the British sitcoms “The IT Crowd” and “Toast of London,” but domestic audiences are probably most likely to recognize him as one of the vampire roommates in the ongoing “What We Do in the Shadows” TV series. Berry dons a figurative detective’s cap and literal mutton chops in this Victorian spoof, in which he plays a foul-mouthed inspector in 19th-century London. The story sees his character attempting to solve crime alongside two partners, one of them very inexperienced (played by Freddie Fox) and another far more adept than him (Susan Wokoma).NATURE: THE MIGHTY WEASEL 8 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). An orchestral arrangement of “Pop Goes the Weasel” opens this latest entry in PBS’s “Nature” documentary series. The program strikes a playful tone as it educates viewers about the minutiae of weasel life, and the lives of some related mammals. Ana Gasteyer, the actress and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, narrates.BLACK PATRIOTS: HEROES OF THE REVOLUTION 10 p.m. on History. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hosts this hourlong documentary, which centers on the experiences of African-Americans during the Revolutionary War. The figures it looks at include the poet Phillis Wheatley, the soldier Peter Salem and Crispus Attucks, whose death during the Boston Massacre helped spark the revolution. More
