First Reactions to Sicario: Day of the Soldado Tout Tense Thrills
“Superb”, “thrilling” and “wicked sense of tension” are all words being used to describe Sicario: Day of the Soldado. The first film in the trilogy was gripping from the opening scene. Now, the story continues and critics are hailing the film as a sequel worthy of the original.
I vividly remember convincing my friends that they needed to get out and see Sicario when it first hit theaters. Denis Villeneuve at the helm was reason enough for me to buy a ticket,...

Star Wars Creator George Lucas Goes Deep on the Science Behind the Force
In 1897, J.J. Thomson discovered there are smaller particles than the atom, namely electrons. Now, in 2018 we finally know what is smaller than the Force. According to George Lucas, the answer is Whills. The microscopic creatures were once intended to be the stars of Star Wars Episodes 7-9 and we would have never known the names Rey, Finn or Poe. Lucas relinquished creative control in 2012 after selling Lucasfilm to Disney, but the director finally touched upon his intended storyline...
Wonder Woman‘s Steve Trevor Is Alive and Well and Living in 1984?
Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot just casually gave us all reason to rejoice. May we introduce you to my new background image on every device I own from now until the end of time – Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) alive, well, and living in 1984. Wonder Woman 2 has begun filming and Jenkins tweeted out this incredible image of Trevor soaking in the sites of a 1980s mall. She even wrote a little bit of context that is giving us some heavy clues...
James Wan is Bringing the Eight-Legged Monsters From Arachnophobia Back
As someone who recently put 12 spider traps in a one-bedroom apartment after finding a single eight-legged creature, I can confirm they are scary little beasts. Apparently, James Wan feels the same way. His company, Atomic Monster, is teaming up with Amblin to remake the comedy horror Arachnophobia.
Fear of spiders is one of the most common phobias, which makes it perfect fodder for horror master, James Wan. Arachnophobia was unleashed in 1990 starring John Goodman and Jeff Daniels and hundreds of Avondale spiders...
Chris Hemsworth Says The Surprises in Avengers 4 Could Top Infinity War
We are still reeling nearly a month after the release of Avengers: Infinity War. It will take time and hours of self-reflection to heal from what we have witnessed. Watch out, SPOILERS: We lost more than a few good Avengers in the battle against Thanos. We have been scraping and scrounging to find hope that Avengers 4 will lighten our load, but hope has yet to appear. In fact, one of the surviving characters implied that it could get worse from here...
Josh Brolin Raises the Stakes in New Sicario: Day of the Soldado Clip
There are no rules here in this ruthless new clip from Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Josh Brolin’s character resorts to armed kidnapping to get what he wants, but everyone might not agree with his methods. Sony just released the short scene and the sequel to the 2015 crime thriller appears to be even bolder than its predecessor.
The intense scene features Matt Graver (Brolin), the staunch CIA operative who continues to carry out illegal false flag operations against Mexican drug cartels...
Farewell to The Middle, One ‘Heck’ of a Show
There are few things in this world as simple and pure as a snow globe. A beautiful snapshot of an idyllic place that brings joy and comfort to those who cherish it. The Middle has been that rare perfect keepsake for nine incredible seasons, and tonight we say goodbye. Grab a jar of olives, meet at the fridge, and toast to the Hecks.

The couple has established ‘Higher Ground Productions,’ a reference to Mrs. Obama’s famous motto, “When they go low,...
RBG‘s Cinematographer on Revealing an American Icon
Ruth Bader Ginsburg has sparked a cultural fandom that is usually reserved for musicians, actors and athletes. The Supreme Court Justice’s face adorns stickers and pins at every bookstore and she has adopted the moniker ‘Notorious RBG.’ At 85 years old, Ginsburg is engaging the next generation of activists, but her personal history is just as inspiring. RBG Cinematographer Claudia Raschke worked with directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen to peel back the layers of Ginsburg’s career and grant us insight into her life as a wife,...
An Anonymous Robin Hood Fights Corruption Up Close in First Trailer
Robin Hood eventually became an outlaw, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. A noble endeavor to be sure, but he had to start somewhere. The first trailer for Otto Bathurst’s Robin Hood origin story reveals the legend actually started his fight right under his enemy’s nose.
Taron Egerton plays Robin of Loxley, and aristocrat by day who fights corruption at night. He actually has close contact with the Sheriff of Nottingham (Ben Mendelsohn),...
John Boyega Drops a Hint About Finn’s Future in Star Wars: Episode IX
Two lines in an interview with John Boyega for Yahoo! give us one of the earliest clues we have about Star Wars: Episode IX. The finale of the Skywalker saga has yet to even being filming, but Boyega is already prepping for the role. According to Boyega, his character Finn will undergo a physical transformation for the next installment.

The Mysteries Westworld Established in the Season 2 Premiere
Westworld is back, but the park is closed to tourism as the hosts have revolted against their human overlords and are now running the show—and their own narratives. From critics reviews, fans knew to expect a grittier and bloodier season as the hosts explore their new freedom and Delos attempts to control the catastrophe that plagued the first season. Season 2 may be simpler than the last, but that doesn’t mean fans don’t have questions. Here a few questions that the internet is asking today following the season premiere,...
Rob Delaney’s Average Superhero in Deadpool 2 Brings Out the Hero in Us All
Deadpool has his eyes set on rivaling the X-Men and is even taking cracks at the Avengers in the final trailer. The Merc with the Mouth is forming his own team of crimefighting mutants featuring Domino (Zazie Beetz), Bedlam (Terry Crews), Shatterstar (Lewis Tan), and…Peter (Rob Delaney)?
No, it’s not Peter Parker and definitely not Peter Quill. He’s just…Peter. The final trailer introduced us to the affable character, played by the hilarious Rob Delaney of Catastrophe,...
Michael Myers Looks Worse for the Wear in First Halloween Poster
Time has not been kind to Michael Myers. The serial killer of Haddonfield is back with a few more wrinkles than he sported four decades ago. Universal has released the first poster for the upcoming Halloween and The Shape’s stoic mask has weathered with age.
The brilliant poster design rivals the 1978 classic jack-o-lantern wielding a carving knife that’s haunted our nightmares since childhood. Myers’ looming stillness hangs in a black abyss and you could fall right into his dark eyes...
Thandie Newton Drops Hints About Her Mysterious Solo: A Star Wars Story Character
We would trade a Kyber Crystal to know more about Thandie Newton’s role in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars film. She looks positively badass and her character is cloaked in mystery. That probably indicates the importance her role plays in the overall story arc and peaks our interest. Newton did open up to Radio Times about the role and we’re scavenging her comments for clues.
Newton plays Val, a member of Beckett’s (Woody Harrelson) crew who will become teammates with Han (Aldren Ehrenreich) and Chewbacca (Joonas Suotamo)...
Ava DuVernay Announces Star Wars: Episode IX Assistant Director
We were ecstatic last fall when J.J. Abrams announced he would be returning to close out the Skywalker Saga with Star Wars: Episode IX. Abrams is one of the most crisp storytellers of our generation and capably carried on the George Lucas legacy with The Force Awakens. We trust him to finish this thing right, yet Han Solo cannot pilot the Millenium Falcon without Chewbacca. So too does Abrams require a copilot. Today, she has been found and we are dying to know everything about her...

Avengers: Infinity War is right around the corner with an April 27 release date, and yet there is still so much about the film that we don’t know. The Russo Brothers have been quiet on questions surrounding Hawkeye’s mysterious absence from promotional photos and if Ant-Man will be aiding in the fight against Thanos.

John Mulaney Hosts One of the Sharpest Saturday Night Live Episodes of the Season
There were a lot of surprises out of Saturday Night Live this weekend, but how brilliant John Mulaney’s performed wasn’t one of them. The razor sharp former SNL writer flawlessly executed his hosting debut.
