Producer Guillermo del Toro’s name is all over The Book of Life, even though it was conceived, co-written, and directed by animator Jorge Gutierrez. It’s an understandable association, though. The film is just macabre enough to feel of a piece with del Toro’s other films, which often fuse a child’s-eye view of the world with the grim and the uncanny. Gutierrez’s animated film is a family-friendly story that celebrates Mexico and Mexican culture, in particular, el Dia de los Muertos (the Day of the Dead), the holiday reserved for communing with one’s ancestors who have passed from this world.

At 20 Exchange Place, Conwell Coffee Hall will (somehow) be part of Life and Trust. A plaque greets you at the entrance of Conwell Coffee Hall, the striking and mysterious café now open in New York’s Financial District. The text pays tribute to a powerful 1920s magnate, J.G. Conwell, former chairman of the Life and Trust Bank and the builder and former occupant of this craggy limestone skyscraper at 20 Exchange Place.

The last Last Man on Earth. “Oh, farts,” says a half-scared/half-dumbfounded Tandy (Will Forte), after looking in all directions and seeing the most unlikely thing — people. People, in gas masks, looking back at him and his friends. The end. The end end. There is no more Last Man on Earth. No streaming platform is floating the idea of saving it. And no one is going to save these characters from this moment, if they even need saving.

One of The Mindy Project’s finer qualities is its willingness to commit to lifelike surprises.

Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) is one of several “Touched” citizens of The Nevers’ baffling Victoriana fantasy world. Near the end of the first episode of The Nevers, the new HBO series created and originally helmed by Joss Whedon, a dark-haired woman with a traumatizing superpower and incidentally great hand-to-hand combat skills starts to give chase. There’s a baddie, a serial-killer psychopath (but a lady!) who’s been terrorizing the show’s Victoriana fantasy world, and Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) is on the hunt, tracking her through a crowded opera house and down a rickety back stairwell.

Steve Carell and Alison Pill, Vanya-ing For a middle-aged estate manager with a drinking problem, a crush on his former brother-in-law’s too-young new wife, and a creeping horror that he has wasted his life, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky — known to friends and audiences as Vanya — is so hot right now. Chekhov’s plays have an uncanny tendency to resurface in waves in the English-speaking theater, and we’re in an Uncle Vanya moment.

“Michael, you had two ideas today. One of them was great, and one of them was terrible.” When a show like The Office builds enough development and emotion to earn a cathartic proposal scene (much like it did with Jim and Pam’s rainy gas station proposal), you’ve got to give in and feel good knowing that even though Michael’s leaving soon, he’ll be happy to go. This episode posed the same piece of advice that we did yesterday: Stop worrying about the future of post-Michael Scott Dunder Mifflin and just live in the moment, man.
