Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke on Winchester, Ghosts, and More

On August 02, 2025, Collider was invited out to the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose, Calif. for a few hours, on behalf of CBS Films’ upcoming releaseWinchester: The House That Ghosts Built(in theaters on August 23, 2025), to get a private tour of the massive labyrinth-like mansion that’s considered the most haunted house in the world and to learn a bit about the upcoming feature film. Having never had the opportunity to see the house in anything other than photographs, I wondered what it would be like to explore and what the vibe might feel like, and I left feeling like every oddly shaped room, each hallway with a low ceiling and the endless staircases, all added up to a fascinating story about a woman who will forever remain a mystery herself....

Homeland Season 6 Review: A Time of Transition

Homeland’s greatest strength in its last few seasons has been its commitment to reinventing itself. Yes, it should have been a limited series (and it would have been one of the greatest of all time if it had ended with Brody detonating that bomb), but it wasn’t. And after two very unfortunate and meandering seasons, many fans probably gave up. But in Season 4 the show reinvented itself, and it did so again in Season 5, and again in Season 6....

Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham on Hell or High Water

There’s such an easy-going camaraderie betweenJeff BridgesandGil Birmingham, a warm familiarity as if the two have been friends for decades. As the two Marshalls assigned to track downChris Pine&Ben Foster’sbank-robbing brothers, Bridges & Birmingham delightfully bounce off one another, casually joking and insulting each other with abandon. Yet underneath the caustic barbs, there’s always the sense that these two would lay down their lives for one another if given the option....

Love Life Review: Anna Kendrick Shines in New HBO Max Series

Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be anything left to mine from stories about overly romantic 20-somethings looking for love in New York City,HBO Maxcomes along withLove Life, a new TV show starringAnnaKendrickas love-hungry protagonist Darby Carter, which is part of the first wave of original content offered by the nascent streamer. Love Lifeis borderline appalling in its familiarity. Very much a “watch a white woman try to find love in New York City while finding yourself” in the vein ofSex and the City,Girls,The Bold Type, and numerous movies, almost every trope imaginable is present and accounted for....

Mr. Mercedes Review: Detective Drama Does Stephen King Proud

Stephen Kinghas spent decades making good work of the “man is the real monster” narrative stroke in his supernatural stories, but rarely has he put that sentiment front and center with such intense focus as his 2014 crime thriller,Mr. Mercedes. Entirely devoid of ghosts, ghouls, and monsters, the hard boiled novel is structured as a lean cat-and-mouse chase between a mass murderer and the retired detective who failed to catch him....

CBS All Access has released a new trailer forStar Trek: Picard. The upcoming sequel series follows Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) coming out of retirement to go on a new mission with a new crew.
