The Predator Unmasked is Delightfully Repulsive in New Image

Yesterday we got our first look at the first Predator in action. The teaser featured a Predator that was ruthless and unyielding in its attack. We cheered to see the alien species make its way back to the screen. They were looking well armored and particularly sinister. If you thought that was frightening, however, wait until you see what was under their head gear. Today we get to see the Predators unmasked.

Yet, the Merc with the Mouth seems to be saving the best scene for last. Early reactions for Deadpool 2 have hit Twitter and they’re mostly glowing. What everyone can’t stop chattering about, however, is the post-credits scene.

First Solo Reactions Hail Great Performances & Thrilling Action

It’s fitting that a film about the most iconic smuggler in the galaxy delivers the goods. Solo: A Star Wars Story had its premiere in Hollywood last night, and the first reactions suggest that, despite all that concern over the film’s fairly rocky production, Ron Howard and his incredible cast have pulled it off.

The action, the performances (just about every member of the cast is singled out by one critic or another for being the film’s crown jewel),

Deadpool Tries to Make Amends with David Beckham in New Clip

Deadpool is back with another outrageous clip to teach us that you can’t let one raunchy insult get in the way of true bromance. Soccer legend David Beckham seems hung up on the rude manner in which he was described in the first Deadpool film, but Wade (Ryan Reynolds) has seen the errors of his ways. With Deadpool 2 on the way, he is determined to make amends with Beckham.

Beckham is pretty much perfect in every way,

Dr. Malcolm Welcomes Us to the Age of Jurassic World In New Teaser

Dr. Ian Malcolm is dropping the truths. The good doctor has seen a lot of bad ideas in his life, but this thing has gotten out of hand. We did not heed his warnings on Isla Nublar, and now it may be too late. The dinosaurs are no longer contained in a new Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom teaser, and that can have destructive consequences for our world.

A sage Dr. Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) is back on the scene,

The Predator is Back with a Vengeance in First Trailer

The first trailer for The Predator is way more hardcore than we were expecting. The heat seeking alien is back and he’s not messing around. Some films with monstrous aliens, like Venom, take a slow burn approach to promotion, revealing the main attraction over time. Not so for The Predator. This trailer is tense, action packed, and squarely focused on the alpha predators from outer space.

Sweetbitter Creator Stephanie Danler on Adapting her Award-Winning Novel for TV

Sweetbitter portrays a side of restaurants not often seen in mainstream media—delicate, sensual, feminine. The Starz TV show, based on Stephanie Danler’s award-winning novel of the same name, premiered Sunday, May 6.

As executive producer, Danler trades her lyrical sentences for powerful visuals. States of loneliness, intoxication and longing are portrayed in many ways, though most perceptively on star Ella Purnell’s face, best known for her role in Tim Burton’s Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children.

Black Panther Costume Designer Ruth E. Carter Explains the Symbolism of Her Work

Ruth E. Carter is a national treasure. The Black Panther costume designer created a world of gorgeous fashion for a fictional African nation, but drew on extensive research of the continent and its many beautiful designs. We could spend hours marveling at her costumes in a museum, if such an exhibit existed (curators, please make this happen). The design, detail, and symbolism she poured into the Black Panther costumes were a crucial part of the film’s historic reception.

Watch the Moment Han Meets Lando in new Solo Clip

There are likely very few Star Wars fans who weren’t thrilled when they heard the polymathic talent Donald Glover would be playing the young Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Since Glover’s casting was announced every new bit of footage we’ve seen of Lando has reinforced the notion that this was, to put it mildly, a role he was born to play. Now, a new clip from the film shows us the moment that Han (Alden Ehrenreich) meets Lando,

This is getting crazy, you guys. Pet Sematary, Tommyknockers, and The Long Walk are all headed toward production. Castle Rock dropped a new trailer last week and we are holding our collective breath until IT: Chapter 2 finally unleashes Pennywise yet again. Just when we think we couldn’t squeeze any more entertainment out of Stephen King’s brain, here comes another. THR is reporting that an adaptation of In the Tall Grass is on the way.

Ryan Reynolds Would Like you to Not Spoil Deadpool 2 Please

Jordan Peele Announces His Directorial Follow-Up to Get Out

If DVD boxsets were a thing in the future, there would someday be a Criterion Collection dedicated to Jordan Peele horror films. That is something that we never could have conceived of 3 years ago, but in a post-Get Out world, it absolutely delights us.

We’re sure that you are aware that Ryan Reynolds, the man behind the red spandex mask, is also a beloved son of Canada.

How Avengers: Infinity War’s VFX Animation Director Micro-Managed Thanos’s Facial Expressions

Phil Cramer doesn’t watch films the way most of people do. When the man who directed  VFX animation for Avengers: Infinity War goes to the movies, he studies the characters’ cheeks. “I like to stare at the actor’s face and see what moves and why does it move,” he says. “You’d be shocked by how complex those motions are.”

Cramer became a student of twitches, jiggles and wrinkles in 2009, when he served as lead animator on the pioneering motion capture epic Avatar.
