A lot of really fun movies from the eighties and nineties are tough to get decent copies of. While some of the stories have happy endings, other films seem all but doomed to languish until a niche label like Arrow Video, Kino Lorber, or Unearthed Films gives them the TLC they deserve. So, what’s the title we’re worried is Gone Forever here at JoBlo? A cool little thriller (which I previously wrote up for Best Movie You Never Saw) from 1991 called Ricochet has a pretty impressive pedigree. The movie stars Denzel Washington, John Lithgow, Ice-t, Kevin Pollack and The Bionic Woman herself, Lindsay Wagner, while Highlander’s Russell Mulcahy directs it, is produced by Joel Silver, and is written by Die Hard’s Steven E De Souza. In fact, Ricochet takes place in the same universe as Die Hard, with Mary Ellen Trainor reprising her role as snoopy TV reporter Gale Wallens.

From the early quips of a Buck Henry or Kevin Pollack to more recent outings by laughmongers ranging from A (Fred Armisen) to V (Melissa Villaseñor), only the funniest 1% of carbon-based lifeforms are permitted to direct awards show traffic from our proprietary beachfront dais.

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com audio streaming review for Season 5 of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” the popular episodic TV series telling the story of Midge Maisel, a woman stand-up comedian trying to make it in the patriarchal 1960s. First three episodes streaming on Prime Video, since April 14th.
Television Rating: 5.0/5.0
When the series concluded its Season Four, Midge is down in the dumps, having decided not to ever be an opening act for anyone, despite the offer to open for singer Tony Bennett. Her father Abe (Tony Shaloub) continues his job as a stage reviewer for the Village Voice newspaper, her mother Rose (Marin Hinkle) is in trouble with a rival matchmaker collective. Midge’s agent Susie (Alex Borstein) is gathering more acts in her management and her ex-husband Joel (Michael Zegen) is about to get remarried. And as always, it’s Mrs. Maisel in the spotlight.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel will be coming to an end with season 5, and Prime Video has released a new trailer for the Emmy-winning comedy series which finds Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) closer to success than ever.
In addition to Rachel Brosnahan, the fifth season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel also features Alex Borstein, Tony Shalhoub, Marin Hinkle, Michael Zegen, Kevin Pollack, Caroline Aaron, Milo Ventimiglia, Reid Scott, Alfie Fuller, Jason Ralph, and more. “Midge finds herself closer than ever to the success she’s dreamed of, only to discover that closer than ever is still so far away,” reads the official logline.
It was announced last year that this would be the last season of the series. “Amy, Dan [Palladino, executive producer], and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel have blazed an unparalleled path, elevating the stories we tell about women, challenging the norms in our industry, and forever altering the entertainment landscape with their one-of-a-kind storytelling,...
