‘Zero Day’ spoilers: Who was behind the cyberattack in Robert De Niro's Netflix show?

Feb. 22, 2025

Corrupt tech giants, right-wing blowhards and rampant conspiracy theories. In many ways, "Zero Day" feels like just another day in 2025. The six-episode Netflix thriller (now streaming) follows a mentally ailing ex-president, Robert Mullen (Robert De Niro), who's called back into action to lead the Zero Day commission, investigating a crippling cyberattack that targeted the U.S. transportation system and killed more than 3,000 people. The show was co-created by producer Eric Newman (Netflix's "Narcos") and veteran journalists Noah Oppenheim and Michael S. Schmidt, who hatched the idea in 2021.

In the third season of Prime Video's massively popular thriller series "Reacher," the title character is once again drifting through the United States while investigating an intricate criminal conspiracy.

Movie Review: ‘The Monkey’ is a family drama with guts — the kind that spill all over the place

Feb. 20, 2025

It’s not a toy. Whatever you do, do NOT call it a toy. That’s the chilling message from the spooked airline pilot (Adam Scott) who arrives at a pawn shop, covered in blood that’s not his, trying to get rid of the monkey. It’s an old mechanical organ grinder toy — sorry, NOT a toy! — and it’s been causing lots of chaos. Thus begins “The Monkey,” Osgood Perkins’ latest horror film, an absorbing and stylish if not quite smoothly blended mix of family drama, humor, and blood-and-guts mayhem. Not all of it works, but it’s never uninteresting or uncreative — especially when it comes to finding inventively horrible (or horribly inventive) ways for people to die. Perkins, basing his story on a 1980 tale by Stephen King, has returned to a few themes from “Longlegs,” his breakout horror hit of last year. For one, he clearly has a thing for creepy dolls. (And after this film, you may never find a monkey’s face cute again.)

Movie Review: Hit man pic ‘Old Guy’ has style, but it’s no bull’s-eye

Feb. 20, 2025

A boomer hit man is given a nightmare final assignment to train his own Gen Z replacement in Simon West’s lifeless action-comedy “Old Guy.” Christoph Waltz’s Danny Dolinski is the one at an unwelcome crossroads in the film. He’s only partially healed from a hand injury that’s rendered him dependent on pills and unable to aim a gun as well as he used to. Dolinski also seems to be in the throes of a full crisis: We meet him not on the job, or even in flashback to his pre-injury glory, but out clubbing. The next morning, Dolinski emerges in a bathrobe to gaze proudly upon the several much younger women who have spent the night. But a room full of scantily clothed model-types who seem to be there willingly is only a temporary balm for poor Dolinski. While he might still be a viable specimen for the 20-something party girls of London, his game does not hold the same appeal in the workplace. Soon he’ll be getting the dreaded “we’re going younger” talk from his boss, and she’s talking about him, not his love interests. This is a guy who is certain he’s got a lot left to give in the assassin game, and not as a mentor to a “hitman prodigy,” as Cooper Hoffman’s character Wihlborg is described.
