BAD TIMES AT THE EL ROYALE (2018) 8 p.m. on HBO; stream on HBO platforms. Given the film’s ominous title, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the characters don’t have an easy go of it at the El Royale, a rundown hotel on the border of Nevada and California. The film is stacked with stars, including Jeff Bridges, Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson, Cynthia Erivo and Chris Hemsworth, and follows seven strangers — most of whom have a secret — over the course of one stormy night. Written and directed by Drew Goddard, also known for “The Martian,” the film received mixed reaction. In her review for The Times, Manohla Dargis wrote, “Goddard keeps everything smoothly, ebbing and flowing as the characters separate and join together, but at some point during this logy 2-hour-and-21-minute exercise you want something more substantial than even Hemsworth’s admittedly mesmerizing snaky hips.”
