After owning Thursday night on ABC, “Grey’s Anatomy” producer Shonda Rhimes’ first series under her Netflix deal should feel like an occasion. As opening bids go, however, “Bridgerton” plays a weak hand, turning Julia Quinn’s novels about a 19th-century London family into a handsome but tedious snooze — think “Masterpiece Theater,” only with more sex

The western gets a slightly revisionist spin in “News of the World,” a film starring Tom Hanks that’s really the same plot as “The Mandalorian,” just without the armor. Despite an action-filled trailer, director/co-writer Paul Greengrass’ movie is only fitfully eventful, relying heavily on the grudging relationship formed between Hanks’ taciturn vagabond and his unlikely

“Promising Young Woman” combines a promising star and timely premise into a provocative but less-than-satisfying thriller. A darkly comic #MeToo revenge tale, the film is elevated by Carey Mulligan’s mesmerizing performance but winds up feeling undercooked in developing the narrative surrounding what’s basically a feminist vigilante.

Ina Garten and her husband Jeffrey are celebrating 52 years of marriage. The Food Network star took to Instagram with a loving post about her husband, writing: “Fifty-two years and still having so much fun!,” she wrote in the caption. “You gave me a life I could never have dreamed of. Happy Anniversary my love.”

The adage that a heroic movie is only as good as its villains has never felt truer than in “Wonder Woman 1984,” and those villains simply aren’t very good. The net effect is a concerted drag on this eagerly anticipated sequel, making its simultaneous debut in theaters and streaming on HBO Max perhaps the film’s

Some 800 guests saw the dress at the ceremony at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Newport, Rhode Island, and 400 more watched it glide through the reception that evening. And then there were the 3,000 well-wishers who broke through police barricades to witness Jacqueline Lee Bouvier’s arrival at her wedding to then Sen. John

Deep in the Australian outback, rows of airplanes are parked in the red desert sand, waiting out the pandemic under vast blue skies. Before March this year, Asia Pacific Aircraft Storage (APAS) had stored, maintained and reactivated around 75 aircraft at its desert storage facility in Alice Springs. Today, twice as many jets are hibernating
