Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon Make a Surprising Getaway in The Spy Who Dumped Me Clip

Any movie starring Kate McKinnon has “hidden summer gem” written all over it. We were excited when the trailer for The Spy Who Dumped Me dropped this spring. Now a new clip gives us an amusing amuse bouche of the kind of funny we’ll be seeing. Basically, it’s really relatable characters in unrelatable situations. (Watch out, this clip is NSFW. Or, at least put your headphones in.)

James Bond or Ethan Hunt might have a crazy trick up their sleeve to evade their villainous foes,

Ant-Man and the Wasp Show Off Their Powers in New Featurette

Superhero films are inherently a little goofy. Adults wearing costumes could easily be laughable, but it’s a central point to Ant-Man and the Wasp as the suits are what allows them to fight crime. It is a wackier premise than most, but somehow, they seem to tap into that Marvel magic to make it totally fun. Being able to shrink to the size of an insect doesn’t seem as useful as super strength or an obedient hammer.

Writer/Director Boots Riley on his Staggeringly Original Sorry to Bother You

Sorry To Bother You is coming to a theater near you, courtesy of Annapurna Pictures, after being one of the most buzzed about films shown at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

The directorial debut from Boots Riley, articulate troublemaker and frontman for the band The Coup, has had a bumpy but fascinating road making it to the screen. This satiric, decidedly trippy film is about a young, seemingly malleable telemarketer named Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) and his girlfriend,

Jimi Hendrix-Style Cello Hybrid Defines Sicario: Day of the Soldado‘s Brooding Score

Icelandic musician Hildur Guðnadóttir was all over the first Sicario movie: She played the cello throughout the Oscar-nominated score written by her longtime collaborator Jóhann Jóhannsson. He died suddenly this winter. For the sequel Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Guðnadóttir scored the picture herself, but this time around, she cranked up the sense of menace by playing a one-of-a-kind instrument dubbed the “dorophone.” “It’s based on a cello,

Cruise and Cavill Take Out Their Workplace Tension in New Mission: Impossible – Fallout Teaser

Tom Cruise is unstoppable. Neither Henry Cavill nor Henry Cavill’s sentient mustache can get the better of him. A new action-packed morsel showing off the greatest hits – literally – from Mission: Impossible – Fallout features Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and August Walker (Cavill) duking it out. Of course, Ethan always gets the last punch.

The short clip explains where August comes into the mix. Even though Ethan has really proven his stripes,

How Director Kevin Macdonald Uncovered Bombshell Allegations in his Whitney Houston Doc

Before he shot Whitney, Scottish documentarian Kevin Macdonald did not consider himself a particularly avid Whitney Houston fan. The Oscar-winning director (One Day in September) preferred The Clash back in the day when Houston dominated pop music with her unmatched vocal power. “I was not into that kind of mainstream poppiness,” he says. “At the time you couldn’t avoid her music, but it was kind of unhip to like Whitney Houston.”

Meet Debut Director Boots Riley in New Sorry to Bother You Featurette

Sorry to Bother You, the directorial debut from hip-hop artist Boots Riley, has had comedy fans buzzing since its screening at January’s Sundance Film Festival. The movie follows a telemarketer played by Lakeith Stanfield (Get Out, Atlanta) who stumbles upon his key to success in the corporate world: his perfect-for-sales “white voice,” which is comically dubbed over Stanfield’s own voice by David Cross. Tessa Thompson (Westworld,

New A-Force Fan Art Boasts the MCU’s Most Powerful Women

Even if Thanos wiped out every single male character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’d still be in good hands.

Meeting the rising demand for female-driven narratives, Marvel Comics introduced the A-Force in 2015. The all-female team of Avengers debuted in the Secret Wars storyline and, sadly, only lasted a year and some months due to poor sales. But just because the idea didn’t flourish in the comics world doesn’t mean it couldn’t in the MCU,

There May Be More to Rey & Kylo Ren’s Connection Than we Thought

You’d think that, after seven months, a movie with a fandom like Star Wars: The Last Jedi would have been mined for every possible Easter Egg, every hint of lore, and every hidden indication of what’s going to come next. And you’d be wrong.

With social media, fans are able to construct and discuss theories with huge numbers of other fans at ease, and Reddit is perhaps the hotbed of this when it comes to fandoms like that of Star Wars.

Kevin Feige Believes Black Panther is Oscar Worthy (in Nearly Every Category)

Superhero movies typically don’t garner much love at the Oscars. Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy was an exception, with his 2009 The Dark Knight garnering eight Oscar nominations, winning two (best supporting actor for the late Heath Ledger and best sound editing for Richard King.) If there was ever a superhero film that was going to give The Dark Night a run for its money, it’s Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther.

The power of Marvel’s newest female forces is on full display as the countdown to release hits four days.

Suggestions that the MCU’s twentieth feature, Ant-Man and the Wasp, will place a heavy emphasis on the latter character have been around since the film’s announcement. With each new trailer and featurette, those claims appear to be true. The Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) has been front and center in much of the footage,

As someone who cannot successfully execute a cartwheel, I am stunned by the behind-the-scenes of Mission: Impossible – Fallout.

However, something like Mission: Impossible is so polished when it hits theaters that I forget how physically involved it is. Put simply, Tom Cruise goes for it. He trained for a year,
