FINDING NEMO & FINDING DORY By David Bianculli

In 2003, Albert Brooks and Ellen DeGeneres starred in a wonderful animated film about one fish looking for another. In 2016, they reteamed for an equally delightful sequel, only this time the billing was reversed. Tonight, on this Super Bowl Eve in 2019, Freeform presents them both, as a wonderful, waterlogged twin bill. Or, in this case, gill.

FANTASTIC VOYAGE By David Bianculli

Just before Michael Crichton came along and starting concocting really neat fantasies involving science and/or medicine – as in Jurassic Park, the original Westworld and the TV series ER – this movie came along in 1966, imagining that to save the life of a critically ill scientist, his colleagues would shrink a team and its submersible craft down to microscopic size and inject them into his bloodstream, for a life-saving mission through his internal bodily systems. This movie has got

THE ABC MURDERS By David Bianculli

MINISERIES PREMIERE: Today Amazon Prime Video presents the latest labor of Hercule – Hercule Poirot, the observant detective famous from a series of mystery novels written by genre grande dame Agatha Christie. David Suchet commandeered the role of Poirot by playing him, over a long stretch of years, in a PBS series covering every Poirot story in the canon. The last of those, though, was five years ago, and now it’s time for a new Poirot, played – and played very well – by

RUSSIAN DOLL By David Bianculli

MINISERIES PREMIERE: Actress Natasha Lyonne and comedian Amy Poehler teamed with Sleeping with Other People writer Leslye Headland to create this new limited series, a sort of slightly darker spin on Groundhog Day. Lyonne, familiar as Nicky in Orange Is the New Black (and, long before that, as Opal in Pee-Wee’s Playhouse), plays Nadia, a young New York single woman – who could have been a girl from Girls – who wakes to the sound of Nilsson’s “Gotta Get Up” and

MARY SHELLEY By David Bianculli

Last week, Drunk History devoted a segment to Mary Shelley and the odd and somewhat debauchery-fueled circumstances of the creation of her Frankenstein novel. Tonight, Showtime presents the 2017 movie drama inspired by that same story. Or inspired, I guess, by the same inspiration for that same story. And this time, Mary Shelley is played by Elle Fanning, with Tom Sturridge as Lord Byron and Douglas Booth as Percy Shelley. On Drunk History, those roles were played, respectively, by Evan Rachel W
