Natalie Portman takes center stage in Apple TV+’s Lady in the Lake, but that’s not necessarily a good thing.
“Despite intriguing characters and settings, Lady in the Lake never becomes the noir thriller it could have been. Har’el buries the tale in puzzling surrealist moments.

Director Luc Besson was inspired by his lead actor Caleb Landry Jones to write Dracula: A Love Tale for him.
“‘It’s not Dracula, my fascination is Caleb,’ says Besson, laughing. ‘We were just chatting about other roles that could work for him. I said, “You’d be great as Dracula.” Then, I thought, “You know what I’m just going to write it.” We got on so well on DogMan and since then I’ve only had one wish and that was to make another film with him. He’s crazily talented.’”
Both the heroes and the villains are fractured in The Boys season 4, but that changes for a brief but glorious moment in the penultimate episode.
“Despite what Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) might want you to think, the Boys have been remarkably fractured as a group, struggling with their internal conflicts for most of the season. Only in the penultimate episode do they finally reunite to face a version of The Seven… For a group that has sidelined some of its own characters, it’s nice to see the gang back together again, even if it doesn’t last long.”
