What To Watch This Weekend “They Will Kill You”
Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette; directed by Kirill Sokolov

Kirill Sokolov’s “They Will Kill You” turns a luxury Manhattan high-rise into a neon-lit death trap where wealth and violence intersect. The Virgil, all Art Deco greens and burnished gold, feels less like a residence than a predatory machine. New maid Asia Reeves (Zazie Beetz) senses it immediately: the sealed doors, the too-quiet halls, and head housemaid Lily (Patricia Arquette), whose clipped authority suggests she’s guarding more than housekeeping routines. When Asia’s sister (Myha’La) disappears inside the tower, the building’s eerie calm erupts into a frantic, nine-floor fight for survival.
Sokolov’s English-language debut carries the manic verve of his breakout “Why Don’t You Just Die!” His style blends horror, action and pitch-black comedy with breakneck pacing and gleeful excess. The influences are clear — Tarantino’s operatic violence, Raimi’s slapstick chaos, anime-infused maximalism — but Sokolov isn’t imitating. He’s announcing himself. The film is bold, messy and frequently thrilling, even when its tonal whiplash threatens to overwhelm the emotional stakes.
Beetz anchors the chaos with a performance built on grit, panic and full-bodied physicality. Arquette brings a steely unpredictability, while Heather Graham steals scenes as a deranged socialite with a sadistic streak. Composer Carlos Rafael Rivera heightens the claustrophobia with electric textures and orchestral surges.
The final act stumbles under its own excess, but the film’s blood-soaked bravado — and Beetz’s commanding presence — give this beautiful, treacherous mess its bite.
“Daredevil: Born Again” — Season 2

“Daredevil: Born Again” Season 2 lands on Disney+ with a sharper sense of purpose, finally locking into the grit and moral urgency that define Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox).
With Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) now serving as New York’s mayor, the city has transformed into a surveillance-heavy police state where vigilantes aren’t just outlawed — they’re hunted as enemies of the state. Forced underground, Daredevil becomes a sub rosa symbol of resistance as Matt and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) work to expose the corruption that has become increasingly pervasive around the city.
The season’s focus is tighter, the storytelling more deliberate. The action embraces a more grounded brutality sans the bone-crunching ferocity of the Netflix era.
Cox delivers one of his most emotionally layered turns, while D’Onofrio brings a charismatic menace to Fisk. With Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) returning, the new season gains a stronger sense of continuity.
Season 2 isn’t flawless, but it’s confident, muscular and far more cohesive — a return to the grounded, character‑driven form that fans raved about in the original series.
“Marc by Sofia”

“Marc by Sofia” arrives as one of the spring’s most anticipated creative‑world documentaries, pairing Sofia Coppola’s cool, observational filmmaking with Marc Jacobs’ singular presence in fashion.
Rather than a traditional career retrospective, the film unfolds as an intimate portrait of an artist in motion, following Jacobs through the rhythms of designing a new collection while reflecting on the personal and professional reinventions that have shaped his decades‑long career. Coppola shoots him with the same soft, unhurried gaze she brings to her narrative work, letting the textures of his studio, his collaborators, and his rituals speak louder than exposition.
The result is a documentary that immerses viewers in the shifting currents of someone’s creative mindset — stylish and illuminating.
“Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special”
Miley Cyrus, Billy Ray Cyrus; hosted by Alex Cooper

The “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special” on Hulu finds Miley Cyrus revisiting the role that defined her adolescence. The special blends recreated sets, archival footage and a candid onstage conversation with Alex Cooper, creating a hybrid of nostalgia and self-reflection. Cyrus steps back into the blonde wig, reflecting on the double life she lived in her teen years as Miley and Hannah.
Original cast members — including Jason Earles, Moisés Arias, Cody Linley, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle and Shanica Knowles — return to share memories, while family members like Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus-Purcell add emotional texture. Musical performances anchor the event, from “The Best of Both Worlds” to a new track, “Younger You,” written as a message to her teenage self.
It’s a warm, introspective, and highly entertaining walk down the memory lane.
“Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen”

“Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen” lands on Netflix as a glossy, slow-burn psychological horror that turns a wedding gone wrong into a waking nightmare. The series follows a young bride (Camila Morrone) whose celebration unravels when she begins noticing strange, intrusive behavior from her future in-laws — the kind of subtle, smiling menace that feels suffocating. Her fiancé (Adam DiMarco) brings a carefully calibrated ambiguity to the dynamic, a man caught between loyalty and denial as tensions rise.
The show leans heavily on atmosphere: an isolated family cabin, uneasy introductions, and a steady drip of off‑kilter moments that suggest something is deeply wrong as the wedding week unfolds.
Supporting players — including the groom’s mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and sister (Gus Birney) — deepen the sense of a family guarding a secret.
The series is stylish, unsettling and gripping.
