Movie Reviews and Previews Top Hamm … and we found Lawrence Top Gun casting news: Jay Ellis, who played Lawrence on Insecure, has been cast in Top Gun: Maverick. Which is fine.

Movie Reviews and Previews Prehistoric dog bonding in Alpha Albert Hughes’ boy-and-his-dog fable Alpha is equal parts Planet Earth and The Black Stallion. It’s a beautifully shot nature-oriented story about a prehistoric boy and his prehistoric dog, a wolf he dubs “Alpha”, as they mutually recuperate in a cave.
