“Reacher” is not the best show ever made. It’s not even the best show on the air currently. I sometimes cringe when Reacher drops a cheesy, sarcastic line like “They didn’t say the magic word” or “They broke my toothbrush.”

When you’ve got a case of the Sunday scaries, sometimes the best cure is a cozy movie and a few hours of pretending Monday doesn’t exist. Luckily, Paramount+ has plenty of feel-good options to help you squeeze a little more joy out of the weekend before it’s over.

September is flying by, and if it could please stop, that’d be great. We’re on weekend number three, and the question of what to watch is rearing it’s ugly head again.

Verdict: “The Taking of Pelham 123” is rarely bad. It’s also rarely good. This might be the most average action thriller ever made. Its most egregious sin of all is that, despite featuring Denzel Washington, John Travolta, John Turturro and James Gandolfini, it underutilizes most of them. Save for maybe Travolta, whose performance still leaves…

If you’re looking to find what new movies and shows Netflix is adding this week, I’ve got you covered. The streaming service is adding just 15 new movies, shows and live events this week.

Tyler Perry movies and Netflix go together like peanut butter and jelly, and his latest flicks never fail to shoot to the #1 spot in the Netflix top 10. This week, we got “Why Did I Get Married Again?” — reviving a franchise that’s so old, I wouldn’t be surprised if many subscribers don’t even…

I’ve rounded up three movies that offer plenty of…

I blinked and somehow it’s already another weekend. With the best streaming services serving so many new movies to keep us glued to the couch, narrowing down which ones are actually worth your time can turn your free time into a headache.

But when he appears in a scene, it jolts the movie with an electricity reminiscent of Robin Williams in “Dead Poets Society.” It’s a must-watch for…

September always feels like the real beginning of fall to me. The days start getting shorter and the rain seems to make a much more regular appearance, which can only mean one thing: It’s officially movie night season. There’s something about staying indoors while it’s cold and miserable outside that makes settling in for a…
