The idea practically sells itself: Kevin Hart has to take night classes to get his high school degree, and Tiffany Haddish plays his suffer-no-bullshit teacher

Young Anna (Galatea Bellugi), intense and charismatic in the manner of another teenaged French seer, reports that Mary has imparted to her a message calling for the building of a church and caring for the world’s poor

Ultimately a story about brotherhood, friendship and the insecurity of life in a violent place, the film injects a sweetness and innocence into the genre, mostly through one stellar performance by John C. Reilly

Transpose Extended will dive into the challenges transgender individuals face. “We’re talking about the trans people and their families,” says Alejandro Lex Treviño, Arttitude board member. “How their transition affected them from their individual basis.” Arttitude, a Dallas nonprofit that serves to unite the LGBTQ community, will screen the film…

It’s a Friday afternoon and The Real Housewives of Dallas star Stephanie Hollman is all alone in her newly renovated Dallas home. Outside, the rain is pounding into her infinity pool overlooking Turtle Creek, while inside, her miniature goldendoodle Biscuit keeps her company. Her youngest son, Cruz, is off on…

But 11/9 plays not like a much-needed blast of truth but like an all-purpose Michael Moore sequel, a self-congratulatory follow-up to several of his films, with Parkland material in the Bowling for Columbine vein, references to Sicko and even excerpts from 1989’s Roger & Me

Despite the killing-spree craziness of its final reels, much of the film is a how-the-kids-live-now potboiler, replete with guileless dirty talk and immense bedroom windows that seem to have been installed with peeping in mind

There’s a sense that Fogelman … has been inspired in part by the broken narratives of Charlie Kaufman, as the first 10 minutes of this film feature a story-within-a-story meta fake-out with Jackson as himself, narrating the action of a screenplay written by forlorn drunk Will (Isaac)

Roth’s film is a funhouse throwback, a scare-the-kids goof with a top-shelf cast, an antique shop’s worth of creepy windup dolls and more heart than you might expect — and, like those jack-o’-lanterns, it’s got more teeth, too

It’s rare to see a camera crew yelling action — or anything at all — around the streets of Dallas. There was a time, many years ago, Oliver Stone would occasionally drop into town and immortalize locals as extras in his latest film. Those days seem like memories left preserved…

Dallas is one of the busiest culinary hubs in all of America. This place is crawling with amateur chefs who dream of having one of their creations sampled and potentially spat out by some of TV’s meanest food judges. If you’re one of those aspiring blue plate special slingers who’s looking…

Last week on The Real Housewives of Dallas, something happened off-camera that we did not get to see, but once the camera turned back on, Housewives Brandi Redmond and Cary Deuber let us in on it. Late at night during the women’s ski trip in Beaver Creek, Colorado, it is said…

Several local artists have joined the mix with films exploring themes ranging from natural hair to forbidden love and unjust justice. Their work will be highlighted during the Frame4Frame festival which runs Sept. 20-23. Dallas filmmaker Reginald Titus Jr. says he made Natural Hair the Movie after his wife, Ashanti,…

Thinking about going under the knife or simply receiving some pokes with injectables? We sat down with two of Dallas’ busiest plastic surgeons to get the scoop on the latest Dallas trends. Dr. Michael Lee is affiliated with Park Cities Cosmetic Surgery, and you may recognize Dr. Mark Deuber from…

The cameras aren’t even there when the kids officially present their projects, but the filmmakers still wring the big day for all the drama they can, putting off as long as possible the revelation of whether any of their subjects win

Radner narrates, in a way, through her own audio diaries, plus some snippets of interviews and judicious excerpts from the audiobook of her perfectly titled — and just-barely posthumous — memoir, It’s Always Something

White Boy Rick has reams of story to tear through, but at heart it’s a family drama, one more concerned with the Wershes than with crack, the feds or Detroit itself

Cosmatos delivers (as fans say) on the blood and guts, on cathartic slaughter, on the disreputable pleasure of watching a bereaved hero regard a new weapon and envision nasty uses for it

On Tuesday night’s episode of Married At First Sight, we saw the three Dallas couples enter the home stretch and try to really get into the groove of their relationship. Bobby and Danielle still aren’t fighting. Mia and Tristan plan to move to Houston. And Amber and Dave simply cannot…

The film, I suspect, will have some minor historical value, but I fear that watching Stern well up on election night won’t offer much insight to people alive now

This latest entry, directed and co-written by onetime wise-ass action screenplay wunderkind Shane Black (Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys), wears its self-aware humor as a talisman against the predictability of its plot and the gratuitousness of its carnage

Dionysus, the god of wine, fertility and religious ecstasy, has taken the form of a woman named Diane and returned to save the Earth from itself in the regional premier of Madeleine George’s Hurricane Diane. In celebration of Dallas Pride Week, Echo Theatre is presenting the play Thursday through Saturday…
