Gabriela Tagliavini’s Tequila Re-Pasado zoomed in on the story of Danny (Sebastián Zurita), a middle-aged man with a not-so-perfect life. Yes, he did have a lovely wife who loved him more than anything, but his nosy boss, Jero (Miguel Rodarte), and his mean colleague, Taylor (Ludwika Paleta), took away all the good things in his life. From the looks of it, Jero was a phony spiritual guru, motivational speaker, and the author of eight best-selling books. Jero couldn’t even write his own speeches or improvise when things went south. He had to depend on his employees, Taylor and Danny, for it.

As for his personal life, Danny rarely spent time with his wife, as he was always busy at work. Danny often forgot their anniversary and went back on promises he had made to Mon. However, Mon was still happy in her mediocre life and soon met with...

Prime Video has pounced on Mexican comedy “Tequila Repasado” by Gabriela Tagliavini., which it premieres worldwide on Dec. 20.

Co-produced by Sony Pictures Int’l Prods and Mexico-based Itaca Films and Feel Good Films, the comedy was originally written in English by Judd Pilot (“Coach”) and Gerald B. Fillmore (“Muertos S.L.”) to be later adapted for the Spanish-language market by Joan Vives, Ilse Apellaniz and Ricardo Avilés.

Said Tagliavini: “I loved the script. It was weird and hilarious yet also spiritual. And it allowed me to use interesting VFX and create original visuals, which is always a fun challenge!”

“Tequila Repasado” revolves around a workaholic who finds himself repeatedly transported back in time by a mystical tequila, forcing him to outsmart his multiplying selves as he struggles to mend his relationships with his family.

The title, which roughly means Tequila Reviewed, is a play on the term Tequila Reposado, which...

Alycia Debnam-Carey is delivering her best work in Prime Video's The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.

The 100 and Fear the Walking Dead alum plays the titular character in the adaptation of Holly Ringland's novel.

As you'll recall if you've been watching the show on Fridays as it unspools on the streaming service, Alice is living with her grandmother after becoming an orphan.

Throughout the first four episodes, the series touched upon Alice's violent upbringing, and Friday's new episode, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, sends things in an emotional direction.

Twig (Leah Purcell) is trying to find Alice in the episode while Alice is off trying to piece together her past.

Alice is hiding a significant burden in the form of setting the fire that got her into her current predicament, but she was driven by the abuse at the hands of her father.

Her fateful decision changed her life forever,...

Sigourney Weaver reminds us of her unfailing instincts as an actor about halfway through “The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart,” the coiled, atmosphere-rich limited series based on Holly Ringland’s bestselling novel.

Weaver plays June, battle-hardened matriarch of a wild flower farm in Australia that doubles as a refuge for battered women. She’s also a master manipulator and control freak, and when her partner, Twig (Leah Purcell), discovers a particularly nasty deception, Twig takes an ax and goes to work on a tree that means a lot to both women. With each resonant “thwack,” June cringes, buckles and winces, a look of soul-deep pain written across her face. For these few moments, she is the human embodiment of that tree.

It’s easy to take Weaver for granted; she doesn’t work much anymore outside of the “Avatar” franchise, and to a certain segment of viewers she will always...

One of the most highly anticipated films of the year released its trailer this week. “Killers of the Flower Moon” is currently slated for an Oct. 6 release before eventually streaming exclusively on Apple TV+. The film, directed by Martin Scorsese, is based on the 2017 true crime book “Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI” by David Grann. It tells the story of murders that took place in the 1920s in Osage Country, Oklahoma. After oil was found on the land of wealthy Osage people, they were brutally killed, presumably for access to their land and oil. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Lily Gladstone, Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, Brendan Fraser, John Lithgow, and more.
