New Gotham Clip: Ginger meets Gorgeous

“So whatcha’ in for?” Jerome Valeska (Cameron Monaghan) asks the beautiful Barbara Keen (Erin Richards). “Killing my parents,” she deadpans.  “Me too” Jerome replies, visibly excited, displaying the gleefully sadistic personality of a certain soon-to-be clown prince supervillain of Gotham.

“A girl needs a good friend in here,” Jerome tells Barbara, assuming she’ll be eager to avoid any potential unpleasantness from fellow inmates that, apparently, only Jerome can protect her from.

Michael Fassbender & Marion Cotillard are Electric in Macbeth Trailer

Some roles are cast so well you cannot imagine another person playing them—in Justin Kurzel’s Macbeth, the two leads fit this phenomenon perfectly. Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in this decidedly dark (even for Macbeth) take on Shakespeare’s tale of a man destroyed by ambition and desire.

Kurzel places these iconic characters in a viscerally evoked Scotland torn apart by war.

The Danish Girl Looks Utterly Moving

The word “Oscar” has been unavoidable ever since people learned Eddie Redmayne would be starring in Tom Hooper's The Danish Girl, playing transgender artist and pioneer Lili Elbe. Fresh off his Oscar win for his astonishing transformation into Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, all anybody needed to hear was "Redmayne" and "transgender artist" to grant him his second nomination for Best Actor in a row.

Or what about the love between Mrs.

Why Taylor Swift Gave the Best Speech Last Night at the VMAs

At the VMAs last night, Taylor Swift did something pretty classy after accepting the award for Best Female Video for "Blank Space"—she thanked her director, the prolific Joseph Kahn, and had him come up on the stage to accept the award alongside her. Then Kahn, as any proper director must, went on to name members of his crew, from his cinematographer Christopher Probst to his stylist, Edda Gudman, and then offered a shout out to his mom,

Director David Ayer Shares Suicide Squad Wrap Photo

Can you pick out the various bad guys that star in David Ayer’s upcoming Suicide Squad in this sprawling wrap photo? Can you find the Enchantress (Cara Delevigne), Deadshot (Will Smith), and the Killer Croc (Adele Akinnuoye-Agbaje)? Ayer (Fury, End of Watch, Training Day) is perhaps the perfect director to tackle the story of a bunch of supervillains taking on a suicidal black ops mission, and if the Comic-Con trailer and this wrap photo of what appears to be a pretty happy group of stars and filmmakers are any indiction,

Will Smith’s Concussion Trailer Drops Right in Time for NFL Season

As millions of fans get psyched up for the start of the 2015 NFL season, the sport’s brutality, and its subsequent, lasting effect on the players, is a fact that is becoming increasingly harder to ignore.

Back To School Watch List: High School Edition

The buses are hitting the road; new planners are blank slates primed for doodling and you're in the homework honeymoon period. Labor Day approaches, which means school is right around the corner, and there's no time like the present to travel back in time and share a little school anxiety and mischief with some of our favorite high school characters.

Who can forget surfer dude Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High or the spirit finger of the Mighty Toros in Bring It On (celebrating its 15th anniversary this week).

Watch the Daredevil VFX Reel

One of the nice surprises about Daredevil is how the show has relied less on showy CGI effects and more on fine storytelling. Eschewing the big budget bomb of Daredevil the film, which put Ben Affleck in tights and had him leaping off buildings, Netflix’s version, created by Drew Goddard, builds on the story of Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock), the blind lawyer who uses his other, hugely enhanced senses,

Must-See Doc: He Named Me Malala Trailer Debuts

If you've never heard the story, you should read up on Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai, and then you should see acclaimed director Davis Guggenheim's documentary about her when it's released on October 2.

At the age of 15, Yousafzai was targeted for speaking out on behalf of girls’ education in her region of Swat Valley in Pakistan. She was shot in the head. The result wasn't Yousafzai's death, but rather international media outrage and the emboldening of the intended target.

We Are Your Friends & the History of DJs in Film

Inventing the next big app and selling it to Facebook for umpteen billion dollars is so last year. If We Are Your Friends, opening today and starring Zac Efron, is to be believed, contemporary, money-minded millennials would rather make it big throwing the party, rather than get rich in order to get into it. Coming up with the next big EDM hit is the new inventing Instagram for Efron’s Cole Carter,

Finn’s Got A Lightsaber? Watch new Star Wars: The Force Awakens Teaser

“There’s been an awakening. Have you felt it”? Um, yes, Star Wars, we have. And now that Star Wars: The Force Awakens released a teaser to a teaser trailer today on Instagram, we can be pretty sure that the 8 people who haven’t yet felt it (they’ve been on the International Space Station) have as well.  While short in length, it reverberated with in sound, scope, and dramatic effect. Also, it showed our new favorite character,

New Star Wars: The Force Awakens Images

Disney has released a few more choice images from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and they give us quite a bit to chew on. Let's take a look:

Here's Finn (John Boyega) running towards (or by) a downed Tie-Fighter. Who shot it, and why is he in Stormtrooper gear?

We finally get a name for this cooler-than-your-average Stormtrooper, Captain Phasma (Game of Thrones' Gwendoline Christie).

Creating Star Wars: The Force Awakens Newest Droid—BB-8

When it came to creating a new droid for the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the task for J.J. Abrams and his fellow filmmakers was not without potential disaster—R2-D2 and C-3P0 are such iconic characters in the Star Wars universe that any new droid that was to have a decent sized role (larger a role than, say, the jealous droid R5-D4) would have to be worthy of its legendary predecessors. The folks at StarWars.com published this eye-opening long form article about the newest droid in the galaxy—BB-8,

M. Night Shyamalan’s Surprising Choices While Making The Visit

Much has been made about the odyssey of M. Night Shyamalan’s film career. He had one of the most explosive debuts in modern film history, bursting onto the scene with The Sixth Sense, his 1999 blockbuster that resonated with audiences and had that incredible twist ending. The twist ending became the young director's hallmark, as would his ability to make intimate, uncannily creepy films. He followed The Sixth Sense up with two more hits—his ordinary man who is actually a superhero film,

Our friends over at CineFix are it again, this time with a look at 9 things you might not know about Back to the Future as we celebrate it’s 30th anniversary.

While some of these are reasonably well known at this point (are you really unaware that Michael J. Fox wasn’t the original Marty McFly, but rather this guy was?),
