» Most of us still remember her from E.T. -- and that was 36 years ago, when she was seven and playing a girl who connects with the wrinkly extraterrestrial on a quest to go home. She also went on to play a sexy seducer in Poison Ivy (1992), one of Charlie's Angels (2000), a girl with a short-term memory in 50 First Dates (2004), and an accidental songwriter in Music and Lyrics ( 2007).

» Netflix's 13 Reasons Why -- the rave of Thai and international streaming-service fans in the past weeks -- certainly has the right combination of production values, acting and dialogue to make it a gripping-enough tale to binge on over a particularly lazy weekend. The teen drama-mystery also comes with a message that should be relatable enough to anyone who still remembers what if feels like to be an angst-filled teenager, with all the bad decisions and cruelty (intentional and otherwise) that define the adolescent experience for so many of us.

» Walking into Captain America: Civil War, the 13th Marvel film to be released since 2008, I felt like I knew exactly what I was in for. Like with a good majority of Marvel's past films, I assumed this was going to be another two-and-a-half hours of excellent action and CGI imagery peppered with some witty dialogue, wrapped around a serviceable plot with an uninspired villain.
