This 1994 movie thriller was an unforgettable introduction to Natalie Portman, who stars opposite Jean Reno in this tense, touching tale of a hit man (Reno’s Leon) who, against his better judgment, shelters a youngster who witnessed the murder of her family. Gary Odman co-stars, and writer-director Luc Besson makes superb use of all three performers.

In this second episode of the new season, a still-menacing Bill (Stephen Moyer) has a vision in which Lilith comes to him. In the daylight – which he interprets as an extremely powerful sign. For a vampire, that’s close to a religious experience: After all, he’s seen the light.

SEASON FINALE: Peggy has called Don a monster. Sally has caught Don with another man’s wife. Other characters have been touched on the knee, shot in the face, gotten double duty on TV by donning a blonde wig, or just responded to a bad stretch by curling up in the fetal position. And tonight, after all that, comes the season finale. How can you not watch?

SEASON PREMIERE: The opening to Season 2 is very bloody, and very violent, as though Copper is almost daring you to change channels. But you shouldn’t. What starts with a dissatisfied john carving his initials into a prostitute’s back soon leads to the introduction of a riveting new character, played by a fully bearded Donal Logue.

Tom (Chris O’Dowd), once again, visits a remote location where historical re-enactors enthusiastically go through their paces, and joins them in their odd pursuits. This time, though, the fun takes place on this side of the pond – another thing he finds the United States and his native United Kingdom have in common.
