One of HBO’s former hot properties returns in a big way this January, as True Detective season four finally arrives on the service. Will this be a return to form for the gritty show? Well, that remains unclear, but this time around the anthology series will follow detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis) as the long winter darkness in Alaska. When eight people at the Tsalal Arctic Research Station vanish without a trace, these detectives need to get on the case quickly.
Also hitting Max this month is the final season of Sort Of. Season three finds Sabi (Bilal Baig) dealing with the unexpected death of their father, and making some big life choices as a result.

After a very uneven summer, several new and recently released titles showed some positive results this weekend. It’s a opportunistic moment: The studios’ schedules are light and screens are more available before the onslaught of the top titles now playing at festivals.
Gavin Hood’s “Official Secrets” had a decent debut in New York and Los Angeles, and an atypical release of “Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins” in Texas also showed initial interest that could translate into other cities ahead.
The second weekend of “Brittany Runs a Marathon,” with its slower release pattern, had a positive result but it’s still unclear as to how well it will crossover. Similarly, “The Peanut Butter Falcon” is already showing strong grosses as it moves past the 1,000 theater mark. Among other recent openers, “Miles Davis: The Birth of the Cool” had an excellent Los Angeles opening to match its initial New York date.

"Any time you do the kind of work Molly did, there's a price to pay for it." Magnolia Pictures has debuted an official trailer for the documentary Raise Hell: The Life & Times Of Molly Ivins, which originally premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The doc film also won the Audience Award at the SXSW Film Festival in the spring. Raise Hell tells the story of "media firebrand" Molly Ivins, six feet of Texas trouble who took on the Good Old Boy corruption wherever she found it. Her razor sharp wit left both sides of the aisle laughing, and craving ink in her columns. She knew the Bill of Rights was in peril, and said "Polarizing people is a good way to win an election and a good way to wreck a country." Molly's words have proved prescient. Reviews say the film is a "slick, enjoyable documentary...

Columnist, humorist and author Molly Ivins died in 2007, but the new documentary “Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins” reminds us that her particular brand of perspicacity is as vital and as necessary now as it was when she covered the 1968 Democratic Convention or watched George W. Bush rocket from the Texas governor’s mansion to the White House.
Her trenchant observations about corrupt, lazy or flat-out stupid politicians was must reading then, and timeless in our current era.
