Dolores Peels Back More Westworld Mysteries with Memories of Arnold
Season 1 of Westworld kept us wondering if the maze isn’t for the guests, who is it for? William saw the maze symbol and interpreted it as a key to unlocking the park like hidden code in a video game. Reach the end and uncover the true meaning of Westworld. What we came to know, however, is that the maze was Arnold’s (Jeffrey Wright) plan to bring the hosts to a heightened state of sentience.
Striking a Balance of Cruelty and Whimsy for the Score of A Series of Unfortunate Events
Child marriage, infant abuse, insatiable greed, and murder plots do not seem like the makings of a family program. And yet, Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events achieves just that by channeling the highly stylized essence of Daniel Handler’s classic thirteen book series for young adults. Now in season 2, the plots have grown wackier and darker. The show is reliant on composer Jim Dooley to maintain levity. Dooley can attest to the music’s influence,
Could This Deadpool 2 Cameo Lead to Something More?
Deadpool 2 is just weeks away, so the Merc with the Mouth is making the press rounds. We knew we would see a lot of him around town stirring up trouble. The last place we expected him to end up, however, was in Hugh Jackman’s bed. Well, there is video evidence that happened and our curiosity outweighs our jealousy. What are those two doing together?
The Logan star appeared to be attempting to film a birthday video message when the surprise guest burst into lyrics from Annie.
Avengers: Infinity War Just Had the Biggest Opening Weekend of All-Time
There was never any question that Avengers: Infinity War was going to be a smash. None. The question was always whether or not it would be a record-setting smash. Following in the footsteps of the now historic Black Panther gave the question a new quality of fraternal competition—could it be as big as Black Panther? Well, the answer appears to be yes—the Russo Brothers’ Infinity War took in a record-smashing $630 million global haul,

Dawn Porter on her Netflix Docuseries Bobby Kennedy for President
It’s been 50 years since the turbulence of 1968 changed this nation forever. From the escalating Vietnam War to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. to the riots outside the Democratic convention, that year was one of the most difficult our nation has ever faced, and that serves as measuring stick anytime a particular year in America feels especially fraught. Last year was one such year. So was 2016. The same could said of 2018.

The Synopsis for Shane Black’s The Predator is Finally Here
Fox gave the crowd at CinemaCon, among other treats, a glimpse at the synopsis for Shane Black’s upcoming The Predator. The last bit of information we had for Black’s highly anticipated humans-v-aliens actioner was way back last November, when one of the film’s stars, Thomas Jane, offered a bit of information about the plot. The most intriguing thing we learned from Jane was that the film’s heroes, much like the 1987 original,
Sequel Synopsis: A Quiet Place and Cloverfield Scare Up More Films
People often talk about the superhero dominance in theaters right now. While it is valid to say we’re seeing some of the best comic movies ever, horror is also having a moment. Cerebral thrillers from Get Out to A Quiet Place are redefining the genre, and audiences are rewarding these risk-taking filmmakers. We are unbelievably pumped for Laurie Storde and Michael Myers to meet face to mask again this Halloween.
The Long Walk Will Be the Next in a Long Line of Stephen King Adaptations
More! Stephen!! King!!! Obviously, Andy Muschetti’s It led the pack for this most recent King revival (pun intended), and now the floodgates have opened.

New Luke Cage Season 2 Clip Shows Off Super Strength, Speed, and Long Jumping Ability?
You know Luke Cage (Mike Colter) is tough. You know he’s got super strength. You know he’s got unbreakable skin. But did you know he’s also faster than Usain Bolt (his 40-yard dash time is 3.72)? And can beat the world record for the long jump by eleven feet? With these kind of all-around skills, Luke better be careful—he could be getting a call from the Avengers sometime soon. Or,

Watch The Avengers: Infinity War do the Rounds On Late Night
If you were channel surfing last night, you were in for a treat. You had nearly the whole cast of Avengers: Infinity War delighting fans, singing songs, answers (very often incorrectly) Avenger– centric questions, and, in the process, promoting their colossal ensemble film on Fallon, Kimmel and MTV News. Let’s take a brief tour from show to show and see what our Avengers friends were up to.
New Solo: A Star Wars Story Photos & Posters Include Jon Favreau’s Alien Character Rio
If people often tell you to ‘get with the times’ because you still have posters of Han Solo hanging in your bedroom, here is your brand-spanking new update. It’s time to swap out those Harrison Ford antiques (and carefully store them in a dry and temperate location) and plaster these new Alden Ehrenreich gems on your wall. News broke yesterday that Ehrenreich has signed onto at least three films as the smuggler, so it will be a decent investment.
