First A Wrinkle In Time Trailer Foreshadows an Epic Adventure

Our Favorite SNL Thanksgiving Sketches from Chance the Rapper to A Thanksgiving Miracle

Chance the Rapper earned his stripes as a first time SNL host, and the massively talented performer didn’t disappoint. He nailed an impersonation of Kenan Thompson’s impersonation of Steve Harvey, pulling off the punchline of Harvey connecting on Family Feud with his long lost son. He also led the pack on a sketch where members of black and Latino neighborhoods confronted Batman for being too tough on crime, a hilarious bit and one perfectly timed with the opening of Justice League

Chicago is Under Attack from Mutant Animals in Rampage Trailer

The grown up versions of the monsters in the 1980s arcade game Rampage are way more frightening than their 8 bit inspiration in the new movie trailer. In the game, players tried to destroy as much of the city as they could as overgrown animals, but the movie makes Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson) the hero who tries to save Chicago.

Yesterday was the first glimpse we got of albino silverback gorilla,

Missouri Doctor Recognizes His 1982 T-Shirt Design on Stranger Things

The Upside Down is filled with monsters, conspiracies, and plenty of plot twists, but the mind bending oddities became real for one Missouri doctor who noticed something familiar on screen.

Stranger Things favorite, Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), was sporting a T-shirt Allai had designed in 1982 promoting his practice.

Dwayne Johnson Shows Off His Supersized Costar in Rampage Poster

George, is that you? Dwayne Johnson just released the poster for his next action flick, Rampage, and his costar is so big, he doesn’t even fit on the page. Johnson plays Davis Okoye, a primatologist whose best friend is an albino silverback gorilla named George.

This is no Curious George story. The primate and two friends grow to gigantic proportions due to an accident and Johnson’s character has to wield some pretty heavy artillery to stop the destruction.

Waco reimagines a side of the Branch Davidian raid that hasn’t been seen before, from inside the Texas compound.

IT Screenwriter Continues Streak of Nostalgia with Are You Afraid of the Dark Movie

Nickelodeon was a golden era of kid’s TV in the 1990s. With block programming like SNICK on Saturday nights and Nick in the Afternoon (remember host Stick Stickly?), a whole generation was glued to Rugrats, Hey Dude, Salute Your Shorts, and All That. Only the bravest among us, however, watched Are You Afraid of the Dark. A rite of passage, only the big kids got to watch the Midnight Society tell their ghost stories around the campfire.
