Watch the trailer for Comedy Central's new coming-of-age comedy.
Comedy Central is in a weird period of transition right now. The cable network has seen an exodus of talent in recent years that it hasn’t quite recovered from. The loss of stars like Key & Peele to bigger and more ambitious projects, Amy Schumer, whose show is officially on hiatus but seems unlikely to return, Nathan Fielder, who opted to end Nathan for You on a glorious high note, and the end of Workaholics and the impending final season of Broad City leave the network without any real heavyweights. Its new shows over the past few years haven’t exactly caught on, either. Plus, whiffing on both Daily Show alums John Oliver and Samantha Bee probably keeps their network executives up at night. This all comes as Netflix is snatching up comedy talent, leading to Comedy...

Grand ideas changing skylines and sidewalks take center stage in Big Time, an illuminating portrait of starchitect Bjarke Ingels. Directed by Kaspar Astrup Schröder, he rides shotgun for the young architect as he transitions his practice from Copenhagen to New York. The move, around his 40th birthday, is marked with some tension as his design from Big (Bjarke Ingels Group) has trouble retaining its European clients as Ingels puts down roots in North America. While here, he works on projects like Two World Trade Center with the Silverstein Properties group and West 57 with Durst Organization, which houses the only movie theater in New York City currently showing the film.
On camera these developers praise the Big’s team for their willingness to be flexible on these grand projects, while Ingels finds himself battling his patrons over oxidized vs. painted surfaces in a particularly fascinating scene as he expresses disappointment with...

The hits keep on coming. Both “The Disaster Artist” (A24) and “The Shape of Water” (Fox Searchlight) opened strong, despite the usual strong-fall off in post-Thanksgiving audiences. Last year the month of November saw only one specialized release, “Manchester By the Sea,” pull an opening platform per theater average over $60,000. This year has already seen five.
“The Disaster Artist” (in 11 markets) showed the best performance in New York/Los Angeles of any title this year (nearly $120,000 per theater), besting last weekend’s numbers for “Call Me By Your Name” (Sony Pictures Classics). They join other Oscar-bound strong openers including “Lady Bird” (A24) and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” (Fox Searchlight).
This marks unprecedented strength over such a short period, with “Lady Bird” and “Three Billboards” already performing well in wider release. At some point exhibitors are going to be challenged to handle so many hits (all will not go wide...

That filmmaker Kaspar Astrup Schroder had uncommonly intimate access to his subject becomes apparent while watching Big Time. His documentary delivers a portrait of wunderkind Danish architect Bjarke Ingels as he leads his firm, the Bjarke Ingels Group (Big), through several landmark projects. Shot over seven years, the film occasionally gets bogged down in the sort of minutiae that would have been better left on the cutting room floor, but it also provides an insightful depiction of the personal and professional travails that inevitably accompany career success.
