Plus! Saying goodbye to Stefon.

Two generations of talent and sadness are depicted in “Greetings from Tim Buckley,” a fictionalized depiction of late singer Jeff Buckley and his non-existent relationship with his father, late singer Tim Buckley.

In the sci-fi movie world, there are two types of geeks: “Star Wars” geeks and “Star Trek” geeks. It’s a passionate rivalry, but one day soon both sides will have something new in common. J.J. Abrams will be at the helm of both franchises.

As we are about to head into the summer season of constant Hollywood wannabe blockbusters, you can find a little comfort that there are still outlets for independence.

Christopher Guest is the godfather of the mockumentary; he has written and/or directed some of the genre’s best: “This is Spinal Tap,” “Waiting for Guffman” and “Best in Show.” With the mockumentary format producing television hits such as “The Office” and “Modern Family,” it’s about time Guest made something for the small screen in the new HBO comedy “Family Tree.”

Not that long ago, Robert Downey Jr. was a once-acclaimed actor who couldn’t get work because of past issues with illegal substances, and Shane Black was a once-hot screenwriter (“Lethal Weapon”) whose stock was in freefall after highly lucrative work on scripts like “Last Action Hero” failed to light up the box office.
