Photo: Netflix TV ReviewsAll of our TV reviews in one convenient place. When rebooting a long-running TV show, there are certain rituals that have to be observed. Attempting to precisely re-create the original formula is tricky, and usually comes off as weak besides. But change too much, and suddenly you’re being accused of opportunistically slapping a beloved name onto a wholly unrelated property. For its part, Netflix has shown good faith by enlisting original creators Terry Dunn Meurer and John Cosgrove alongside Stranger Things’ Shawn Levy for its re-do of the true crime/paranormal documentary series Unsolved Mysteries. And while the changes Meurer and Cosgrove have made in updating the format for 2020 might not be to longtime fans’ tastes, they do bring the show in line with cur...

The entertainment industry has always had close ties with law enforcement, but with talent calling for a clean break, those bonds are more fraught than ever: "It's just standing up for what we all know is not correct." In the weeks leading up to June 23, Kendrick Sampson was sleeping at most five hours a night and marching in a Black Lives Matter protest every other day. At one rally in Los Angeles, he was hit by the police's rubber bullets multiple times. Undeterred, the actor best known for playing Issa Rae's love interest on HBO's Insecure crafted a letter addressed to Hollywood's power brokers: "We demand that Hollywood divest from police." With the help of Thor: Ragnarok's Tessa Thompson, he corralled a group of such A-listers as Michael B. Jordan, Viola Davis and Idris Elba...

More than 260,000 people have signed a petition seeking to block the distribution of the movie “Habit” in which Paris Jackson plays Jesus. The movie wrapped filming just prior to the coronavirus-related lockdowns and has been in post-production since April, producer Donovan Leitch previously told Fox News. The film sees Jackson play Jesus alongside model and actress Bella Thorne, who plays a woman with a Jesus fetish who masquerades as a nun in order to escape a violent drug deal. Leitch told Fox News that Jackson's Jesus "visits [Thorne's character] on a few different occasions." PARIS JACKSON TATTOOS HERSELF AT HOME DURING QUARANTINE A petition was started on Change.org seeking to block the “blasphemous Hollywood film” for depicting Jesus as a “lesbian woman.” However, the promotio...

Max Mumby/IndigoGetty Images Prince Harry was spotted biking at Malibu's Surfrider Beach Tuesday, Hollywood Life reports. "He was alone, had a white biking outfit on with red and black and was, of course, wearing a helmet," an eyewitness told the site. Harry was photographed cycling around Sportcampus Zuiderpark in the Netherlands last year (pictured above) as part of a launch event for the Invictus Games. Los Angeles seems to be offering Prince Harry an awful lot more freedom than his working royal life in the U.K. The latest example? Bystanders spotted him biking solo to Surfrider Beach in Malibu Tuesday, an opportunity it's hard to imagine him having in London (can you imagine the media frenzy?) "Harry was biking at S...
