Tom Cruise Ups the Ante (Again) in Sizzling First Mission: Impossible-Fallout Trailer
It looks like super spy Ethan Hunt is back at it and better than ever. Played by the ageless Tom Cruise and involving some of the film industry’s most audacious stunts, the next chapter of the franchise was unveiled with the first trailer for Mission: Impossible-Fallout, which aired last night during the Super Bowl.

Watch the Epic Avengers: Infinity War Super Bowl Spot
We’ve been telling you for a while now how the Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Infinity War is likely the biggest superhero film of all time. Chris Hemsworth himself marveled (pun intended) at the size and scope of the film, which is centered on the battle between just about every good (or good-ish) Marvel character and Thanos (Josh Brolin), whose quest for the Infinity Stones has shaped nearly every film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe...
New Solo: A Star Wars Story Images Reveal Key Players in a Young Han’s Life
Earlier we shared with you the first teaser and trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story. The panic Star Wars fans had worked themselves up in over Disney keeping a tight lid on any Solo images, let alone a trailer, should be settled now. The first glimpses of the film remind us that the Solo team, not just Howard but his incredible cinematographer, Bradford Young (Selma, Arrival) and his production designer,...
Check out the First Solo: A Star Wars Story Teaser & Trailer
Light on plot and heavy on atmospherics, Disney finally revealed a look at Ron Howard’s new Solo: A Star Wars Story, first, in a teaser during last night’s thrilling Super Bowl (the Philadelphia Eagles delivered a Rebel Alliance-like victory over the mighty Empire, the New England Patriots), and then in a longer, proper trailer just a few minutes ago. Obviously we’re sharing both, and our bottom line after seeing this two looks is that Solo looks thrilling...
Andy Serkis Addresses Snoke’s Return in Star Wars: Episode IX
Andy Serkis is everywhere these days. From Caesar in War for the Planet of the Apes to Klaw in Black Panther, Serkis is dominating the blockbusters. He was, of course, the actor behind one of the most talked about scenes in The Last Jedi. Serkis played Supreme Leader Snoke who (SPOILER) was killed in the film.
Some fans expected the leader of the Dark Side to have a more dramatic story arc...
The Awesome Moment Okoye Owns Klaw in Black Panther
Okoye for Queen of Wakanda! Danai Gurira brought a brand new Black Panther clip to Jimmy Kimmel Live! and we are in awe.

The Definitive List of All of Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi Answers
Star Wars: The Last Jedi was a real reckoning for the galaxy far far away. It was all on director Rian Johnson to make some bold choices. The franchise had to go new places to keep things fresh and perpetuate the series, and to fulfill the huge promise of this great new cast and the momentum after J.J. Abrams’ The Force Awakens. That left fans with lots and lots of questions...

Game nights often get a dull reputation. If your suburban night of Pictionary and Charades could use a refresh, this couple has some suggestions. What could spice up a murder mystery party more than live ammo and kidnapping? Max (Jason Bateman) and Annie (Rachel McAdams) are here to find out.

Full Tracklist For Kendrick Lamar’s Black Panther Soundtrack Revealed
Kendrick Lamar might not have won the album of the year at the Grammys this past Sunday, but his performance of his song “XXX,” from his most recent album “DAMN.,” both opened and stole the show.

The First Purge Promotes the Deadly Tradition Through a Political Ad
The Purge: Election Year became the most popular of the franchise, bringing in $118.6 million worldwide on a $10 million budget. The premise, in which society purges all its homicidal desires in a single night, has grown more overtly political over the three films. The fourth is set to be a prequel revealing the rise of the violent election platform.
The trailer for The First Purge hits all the cringe spots that the films exploit...
Baby Driver‘s Oscar Nominated Editor Paul Machliss on Marrying Music to Mayhem
Of all the masterly edited films of 2017, it would be hard to argue any were quite as revolutionary as Baby Driver. Edgar Wright’s music-charged heist flick was so flawlessly designed and edited it seemed almost as if the songs on the soundtrack had been recorded specifically for the scenes they amplified. In our interview with supervising sound editor Julian Slater, we learned, among other things, that the brilliantly matched music-and-turbo-charged-getaways were so complicated, they had to use five different cars to sync the sounds between Baby’s (Ansel Elgort) red Subaru to the music,...

How Does Your Favorite Movie Monster Size Up?
The joy of monster movies is often seeing how much destruction an enormous mutant can wreak on a city, or lost island, as the case may be. Visual effects artists often fill the entire screen with King Kong’s eyes or dwarf Dwayne Johnson with a silverback gorilla that doesn’t even fit on the poster to emphasize their enormous proportions. Godzilla and Kong are slated for a showdown in 2020, but we often don’t get to see giants of the screen side by side...
First Ant-Man and the Wasp Trailer Reveals Marvel’s Tiniest Super Duo
Well, we thought Marvel Studios might want until the Super Bowl to reveal the first Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer, but we’ve been wrong once before. Here’s your first look at director Peyton Reed’s sequel to his fun, funny caper original, which he took over from Baby Driver‘s Edgar Wright and, against the odds—considering how beloved Wright is and how excited fans were to see his vision for Ant-Man—delivered a delicious,...
