Spoken English evolved such useful phrases as “blah blah blah” and “yada yada yada” so that in conversation we don’t have to suffer through numbingly repetitive descriptions of the perfectly obvious. Sadly, no such shorthand exists in the “After” universe, which, now on its fourth instalment, seems dedicated to spinning the already vanishingly wispy romance between good-girl Tessa and bad-boy Hardin, YA fiction’s most colossally boring golden couple, into ever thinner straw. After a placeholder second film (“After We Collided”) and a wheel-spinning third (“After We Fell”), the new episode — which itself ramps up to a face-palming “to be continued” — can’t even charitably be said to be blah. It’s the space between the blahs.
Laboring under the aggravatingly agrammatical title of “After Ever Happy” (hats off if you get the order of those three words right on your first attempt), this desultory go-round picks up at...

Warner Records will issue the soundtrack for actress Halle Berry’s directorial debut film “Bruised” on Nov. 19. The Netflix feature — which Berry also stars in as a disgraced M.M.A. fighter — debuts on the streamer on Nov. 24, after a limited one-week run in theaters.
“I can’t wait to show it,” Berry tells Variety. “I have to tell you, one of the things I’m most excited about is the title song that H.E.R. sang… and she killed it. So I can’t wait to share with everyone and am super excited.”

A stylish and well-acted espionage thriller, “The Infiltrator” is also naggingly familiar. Based on the true story of middle-aged FBI agent Bob Mazur (Bryan Cranston) who went undercover to take down Pablo Escobar’s drug trafficking regime in 1986, it has the measured tone of a slick procedural, while Cranston’s grave delivery effectively conveys the trepidatious nature of his character’s situation. At the same time, this is nothing new for Cranston, for whom “Breaking Bad” still casts a heavy shadow. Once again, he’s a gruff, well-intentioned family man who gets in over his head, and must plot an escape route. This was even the case with his Oscar-nominated turn in “Trumbo.” These days, Cranston’s movie career has been restricted by variations on the same routine.
