If Hollywood ever has the gumption to remake "Splash," Astin should be the first call. Astin has the characteristics of a young Tom Hanks: charming, mischievous and quick on his feet.
MIGHTY VIKINGS GAME SERIES
The series depends almost entirely on the charms of its leads, who are more than up to the task. Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden and "Pitch Perfect's" Skylar Astin play a bickering mother and son in this detective/legal/screwball comedy mash-up. Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand are among those who sing his praises. Director Reginald Hudlin overlooks the actor's later performances, focusing instead on his subject's challenging childhood and 1960s work. But to truly appreciate his talent and impact, you must check out this documentary. Plenty of kind words were written about Sidney Poitier when he died in January. Even those who aren't into the supernatural will appreciate the care that went into re-creating 1910s New Orleans. This time out, the relationship between Lestat and Louis is an undeniable romance with all the ramifications that come with it.

But creator Rolin Jones has his own ideas. Sunday, Showtimeįans of Anne Rice and the 1994 film starring Tom Cruise will recognize portions of this new series.

This documentary offers a re-evaluation of Sinéad O'Connor, the singer whose career took a nosedive after her public protests against the Catholic Church and the anti-abortion movement. The language and look no longer feel groundbreaking but the approach should appeal to fans who prefer that their crime procedurals be grounded in gritty reality. Writer William Finkelstein is a police show veteran with a list of credits that include "NYPD Blue," "Law & Order" and "Brooklyn South." His latest borrows heavily from those past works, but with a female rebel (Amanda Warren) at the helm. Miles Teller hosts this weekend's opener with musical guest Kendrick Lamar. Fortunately, producer Lorne Michaels still has Bowen Yang, Heidi Gardner and Cecily Strong to help him navigate the choppy waters. These transition years can be tough to watch. Disney PlusĪ massive exodus from the cast means the 48th season will welcome four newcomers who will most likely spend a good portion of the year getting their sea legs. Despite the new setting, the adorable kids still have plenty of Midwest spunk. He's tough in a Disney-type way, which means he probably only showers every other day. The show sort of makes up for the slight by casting North Dakota native Josh Duhamel as the camp coach and potential love interest for Lauren Graham. This time out, the scrappy hockey players are based at an elite training camp in California, which means the references to Minnesota are few and far between.
