As Homeland kicks off its 8th and final season on Showtime on February 9, it’s a good time to reflect on its main character, the brilliant yet m­addening FBI agent Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes in a defining role) and all the ways in which she has frustrated, flummoxed, and flat-out driven herself, her colleagues — and viewers — a little crazy.

Blake Lively returns to the big screen this weekend in The Rhythm Section. Based on the novel of the same name and co-starring Jude Law and Sterling K. Brown, it’s the story of woman who sets out for revenge after she learns that the plane crash that killed her family was no accident.

Just Mercy is based on the true story of Walter McMillian, who, with the help of attorney Bryan Stevenson, sets out to prove that he was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death for the murder a woman in 1986. The film stars Michael B. Jordan in the lead role as Stevenson, with Jamie Foxx giving “an astonishing comeback performance” as McMillian. The film came out in limited release on Christmas Day, but is going into wider release on Friday.
