Alison Herman TV Critic It’s hard to get a handle on “Mary & George,” the 17th-century historical drama that premieres on Starz this week after last month’s initial run in the U.K. The tale of how the title characters (Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine) enmeshed themselves in the court of King James I (Tony Curran) through George’s seduction is intricate enough on its own, packing a dizzying array of alliances, betrayals, breakups and reconciliations into seven 50-minute episodes.

Actor Nicholas Hoult has left fans stunned as he unveiled a dramatic new look after shaving his head ahead of filming DC's Superman: Legacy, in which he will be playing villain Lex Luthor.

David Lynch‘s “Blue Velvet” continues to cause a stir nearly four decades after its release, with the film having just as many detractors as it does champions.

And so, brimming with more than a handful of nods to spiritual siblings “The Tudors” and “The Favourite” both in tone and ambiance, the new STARZ limited series “Mary & George” finds the right mix and a seat at the table with relative ease.

Among Ebert’s several criticisms was how Lynch could cast Isabella Rossellini in a role where she gets “humiliated” and then proceed to put it in such an unimportant movie.
