This new installment of Frontline, reconstructing the long history of allegations swarming around film mogul Harvey Weinstein, gets most of its strength, as did the start of the #MeToo movement, by women coming forth to testify against him, in detailing their allegations of Weinstein’s previous mistreatment of them as young actresses or others in his powerful orbit. Some voices you’d expect to take part are not present here, which gives the documentary, like the case against Weinstei

MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. By David Bianculli

When ABC and Disney snatched up the Marvel universe, you knew it would lead to more marketing of all its related major franchise properties. But tonight’s move may have been less expected. In an obvious yet surprising move to bring Disney Channel viewers to ABC and its televised, ongoing Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. series, the network has cast Dove Cameron, its standout young Disney Channel star from both Liv and Maddie (a sitcom where she played both roles) and the Descendants t

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER By David Bianculli

Tonight’s scheduled guests include former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and frequent MSNBC-consulting expert historian Jon Meacham.

KRAMER VS. KRAMER By David Bianculli

Here’s tonight’s other Best Movie winner in prime-time on TCM – and the other movie to star an actor recently accused of sexual misconduct or sexist abuse of power in Hollywood. That would be Dustin Hoffman, and, once again, you can have a heated argument about art vs. artists, because Kramer vs. Kramer, too, is a wonderful movie. And once again, I’d suggest focusing this time on the female co-star: It’s Meryl Streep, in 1979, in her first film role.. and she’
