Murder on the Orient Express

Kenneth Branagh pulls double duty as director and leading man of this fresh adaptation of the Agatha Christie classic. An all-star cast and a razor-sharp script help dust the cobwebs off what is still a cracklingly good old-fashioned mystery.

In its Hitchcock-inspired second season, TBS' breakout mystery-comedy transforms into a hilarious psychological thriller as Dory (Alia Shawkat) and her band of clueless New York hipsters struggle to get away with murder. Brunch, apparently, comes with bottomless paranoia. (Sundays, 10 p.m., TBS)

Hell hath no fury like Frances McDormand scorned.

A sequel to the 2015 reboot of the Battlefront series, the new Star Wars game finally introduces a single-player campaign.

A Fantastic Woman

Part romantic thriller, part soul-searching love letter to individual identity, Sebastián Lelio's Chilean Oscar submission is a carefully directed, endlessly gorgeous portrait of a trans woman's fight for equality in the wake of her partner's death. The movie is every bit as varied and label-defying as the superhero at its center.
