The promotional line for "The Blackening" is so good -- "We can't all die first" -- there was reason to fear the movie couldn't live up to it. Yet like other self-referential horror/comedies (the "Scream" franchise come to mind), the film ably delivers on its premise, mining enough life from its satirical concept to deliver plenty of crowd-pleasing moments.

A new season of "Black Mirror" is always something of an occasion, especially since Netflix opportunistically scooped up the sci-fi-ish anthology series in 2015. Coming four years after Season 5, the latest batch bats roughly two out of five in terms of memorable episodes in a run that tilts more heavily toward horror, and falls short of feeling like everything the acclaimed show is cracked up to be.

"The Fully Monty" quickly reveals itself to be one of those revivals that's all dressed up with no place to go, squandering enthusiasm for this transformation of the genial 1997 box-office hit into an eight-episode series. Most of the gang returns, but it's a reunion largely in search of a concept, which taps into the economic desperation that motivated their original strip routine without the lightness to offset that.

An array of Black artists and musicians will take the stage at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles next week for CNN's second annual "Juneteenth: A Global Celebration of Freedom" concert.

Tom Holland stars and produces this Apple TV+ mystery series, playing Danny Sullivan, a young man arrested for a shooting incident in a bustling New York venue in 1979.

Marvel's various forays into the multiverse have yielded a mixed bag creatively, so credit DC/Warner Bros. with striking gold on the first try with "The Flash," a movie that wears its love for the comics that inspired it on its crimson-streaked sleeve. Funny, action-packed and effectively touching, anyone familiar with the DC stable of heroes should run, not walk, to see it.

"Flamin' Hot," a crowd-pleasing, chips-to-riches story, marks Eva Longoria's directorial debut with a movie inspired by the feel-good tale of a Frito-Lay janitor who rose into the executive ranks and highlighted an underserved community.

LeBron James continues paving the way for his post-basketball media career, this time by producing a superstar origin story adapted from his book, "Shooting Stars," about how his hoops heroism came with an assist from a close-knit group of friends. Basically "It takes a village to raise an all-star," it's a familiar B-level sports story about the strains of success buoyed only slightly by its talented young cast.

The live-action remake of "The Little Mermaid" stirred strong reaction before production even began on the film, and that has continued since the movie's debut in theaters last week.

The stunning visual palette of "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" soared in 2018, combining that eye-popping animation with an abiding love of the comics and plenty of goofy humor. Coming almost five years later, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" spins a much denser web, padding on about 40 minutes that make this exercise heavier and considerably less nimble.

Nothing could be more visceral than the fear monsters that kids imagine under the bed or in the closet are actually real, which provides the backbone of "The Boogeyman," a movie (very) loosely based on Stephen King's early short story. Originally earmarked for Hulu, the film is now receiving a theatrical release, where its modestly scaled chills should scare up some business.
