Tonight’s new episode, “Ghouli,” is not the final installment of this Season 11 of The X-Files. Nor is it the final episode co-starring Gillian Anderson, who revealed in January that this would be her last year with the series, which began on Fox back in the 1990s. (She is slated for future appearances this year, however, so don’t be too spooked by the dire-looking photo from tonight’s episode.) But it is the last of the 2018 episodes sent by Fox for critics to prev

KING KONG By David Bianculli

In 1933, special effects pioneer Willis O’Brien mixed live-action footage and stop-motion monsters to create the king of the apes.

2018 STATE OF THE UNIOM ADDRESS By David Bianculli

Sorry, that’s State of the Union. My mistake. Actually, the House of Representatives’ mistake, but still: As 1968 presidential write-in candidate Pat Paulsen would say, “Picky, picky, picky.” But tonight, it’s not President Paulsen addressing the joint bodies of Congress.
