Art a la Carte | until March 11 | Art Center Waco, 701 S 8th Street | This collective art exhibition features works of a wide range of variety from 17 Central Texas artists.
The selfish motives of each member cloud the minds of The Crew, showing the viewer that even genius crumbles under disloyalty. So, if you can’t live without happily-ever-afters, you might want to think twice about watching “Kaleidoscope.”
Besides the discrepancies, I always enjoy “Emily in Paris” because it’s entertaining and the culture is seen through the lens of a bright-eyed, workaholic American. The writers do a wonderful job of incorporating the language, food, fashion and lifestyle of the French.
“I was like, man, it [Waco] just has this bad reputation that is totally undeserved,” Garner said. “So I thought, I’m gonna make a television show and use Waco sort of as the poster.”
ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” gives attention to a profession that, however much we say it’s needed and valued, gets lost.
Overall, the fifth season of the Crown is decent, but as a committed viewer of the show, betrays and disrespects its core concept of the Queen for the flashy, gaudy drama between the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The movie picks up significantly after the first third, becoming infinitely more interesting if you can stand to wait through Tom’s half-hearted courtship of Marion that is after all, a ruse to spend more time with Patrick in public, to see it.

If nothing changes or goes downhill, I think “Chainsaw Man,” in all its crazy, gory and emotional wonderfulness, will become most people’s favorite anime of the year, if not all time.
Despite some small missteps, the latest season of Adult Swim’s “Rick and Morty” brings the series back to a level of quality not seen in recent seasons. While back to the status quo, that standard is still below what the show was in its first seasons, though “Rick and Morty” still makes for entertaining television.
The screenwriter, a Baylor alumnus, deems this an “Author moment,” a term the cast and creators of the movie coined to refer to the run-ins with fate that made it possible. Now, as Cable calls it, “the little film that could” has made its way to Waco’s Cinemark theater, where it will play until Thursday.
From haunted houses to trick-or-treating, donning costumes and streaming horror movies, many ghoulish elements are highlighted during the month of October. The A&L Desk and friends recommend their favorite movies to watch during this chilling season.
This utopian thriller feels like an extended episode of “Black Mirror.”
“Seeing all that come together, seeing our performers and seeing the theme set up and everything was like ‘oh our vision is coming true,’” Bohling said.
The first two episodes of “The Rings of Power” are a mixed bag. The visuals are amazing, but that does not excuse bad acting and writing from establishing compelling main characters.
Every other week it seems a new television show premieres. With so many options, it can be overwhelming, but A&L staff is here to recommend their favorite shows to make your TV binging a little easier.
Much like Nathan Fielder’s previous show, “Nathan For You,” HBO’s “The Rehearsal” will leave you simultaneously dying of laughter, cringing and wondering how Fielder is able to pull any of this off — legally and ethically.
“House of the Dragon’s” first episode felt like the first move in a game of chess. It’s the opening move so it’s too soon to tell, but it has all the makings of being another great hit for HBO MAX.
Movie lovers can be divided over what makes a good film. Is it explosions, or is it explosive romance? Is it attention to detail and plot, or is it the way the movie makes you feel that really matters? Two Baylor students weighed in with their opinions.
“To see her reaction was something that was priceless for me,” Screen said. “She wasn’t just reacting for the camera; I could tell she actually meant her reaction. It’s kind of cool being able to be like, ‘Wow, I actually made an impact on her too.’”
Every July, filmmakers and moviegoers alike gather at the historic Hippodrome Theatre for the Deep in the Heart Film Festival. This past summer, Baylor University alumnus Daniel Pennington’s film was one of 160 projects featured.
The show went out with a bang, like any good crime drama, and I don’t regret a second of my time watching it.
Previous audience-choice winners, Arlington graduate student Adam Karlson and Tulsa, Okla., graduate student Joe Hayes, are returning to the film festival with their short film, “Never Trust a Man in a Hawaiian Shirt.” According to Hayes, the film is based on a true story.
With uniquely portrayed sci-fi elements giving way to much deeper themes of mental health and healing, alongside amazing acting and show work, let’s hope Netflix doesn’t continue on its weird streak of canceling great original shows in the face of its recent subscriber loss.
‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’ is the greatly executed action-comedy I have been waiting for.
A limited series about how a sexually related scandal affects all involved, “Anatomy of a Scandal” truly is its namesake, burrowing into the psychological and physical effects the scandal has on those involved.
If you have not watched “Bridgerton,” sprint to Netflix immediately. This show will allow you to escape to the grandiose of ball gowns, instrumental twists on current music and Lady Whistledown’s constant meddling.
