‘Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile’ Film Review: Zac Efron Chillingly Captures Ted Bundy’s Killer Charm
“Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile,” the stridently descriptive and wordy title for Joe Berlinger’s narrative feature about Ted Bundy, could have been more conveniently used to refer to Lars von Trier’s “The House That Jack Built.” That ghastly picture from the Danish auteur revels in the grotesque and sadistic exploits of a serial murderer, as the monster intellectualizes his crimes and is outspoken about his desire to kill. “Extremely Wicked” takes a completely opposite approach to engaging with the actions of its own hazardous charmer. Working from Michael Werwie’s Blacklist script, Berlinger — whose career in documentary has concentrated…

Theranos and the Rise and Fall of ‘The Inventor’ Elizabeth Holmes Is a Tale of Our Times
The rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and her $9 billion medical tech start-up, Theranos, is the stuff of Greek tragedy: Hubris, ambition, deception and betrayal abound. But it is also a stunning emblem of our delusional, self-aggrandizing, fake-it-till-you-make-it times, a cautionary tale of the tech era and the insidious culture it has created of would-be legends and short-lived genius. Veteran documentarian Alex Gibney has all the raw ingredients of great drama in “The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley,” which screened on the opening night of the Sundance Film Festival. sun Also Read: 15 Buzziest Sundance Movies: From…

‘The Daily Show’ Imagines if Weed Was Advertised on TV Like Legal Drugs (Video)
If you want to know what TV commercials might look like if marijuana is ever fully legalized in the U.S., “The Daily Show” put together a pretty damned funny video imagining just that.

CBS hasn’t commented one way or the other as to whether this is true, but on Wednesday’s episode of “The Daily Show,” Trevor Noah said he supports the idea, especially if marijuana ads looked like commercials for any other pharmaceutical product —…
