Miley Cyrus and James Corden Carpool Karaoke and Cry on Command
Miley Cyrus just made her debut appearance on what is one of the strongest sketches to come out of late night TV, Carpool Karaoke.
Cyrus was James Corden’s most recent carpool lane buddy. In an era of abundant auto tuning, Miley proves her chops are the real deal. You can see her technique up close as she sings along to her own tunes and the girl has got it. There’s a reason she’s on The Voice.
Tyler Perry Will Play Colin Powell in Dick Cheney Biopic
This is no joke. Deadline has reported that director Adam McKay has cast Tyler Perry as General Colin Powell in his upcoming Dick Cheney film.
The plot about the former Vice President during the Bush Administration sounds like serious stuff, but McKay, Perry, and other cast members have comedic backgrounds. McKay flexed his funny muscles on SNL, Step Brothers, and Anchorman, but he’s also tackled more dramatic fare like The Big Short.
Mr. Robot‘s Production Designer on Designing Disintegration in Season 3
From the outset, Mr. Robot and hacker Elliot (Rami Malek) have been barreling toward a doomsday scenario, so fans of the USA Network show, which began Season 3 Wednesday at 10/9 pm, will be happy to see that things are only getting worse. “The theme for Season 3 is ‘Disintegration,'” says production designer Anastasia White, who teamed with show creator Sam Esmail to implement his vision of a chaotic New York City beset by a power outage.
Listen to a Bunch of Porgs Sing the Star Wars Theme Song
Yes, everyone really is losing it over Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s porgs. As we wrote yesterday, ever since folks first laid eyes on them in that behind-the-scenes sizzle reel from the D23 Expo, porgs have been the ‘new cute’ in the Star Wars galaxy, picking up where BB-8 left off in The Force Awakens. The fluffy little creatures, with their tiny wings and big,
This Gorgeous Clip From Call Me By Your Name Perfectly Timed With National Coming Out Day
As our writer David Thorpe wrote in his New York Film Festival wrap-up, director Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name is “a first-person tale of obsession bursting with adolescent lust. Guadagnino seems like the perfect director to translate the novel to the big screen, given the extreme sensuality of his previous film’s I Am Love and A Bigger Splash.” The film follows the son of an American professor,
Jeff Goldblum’s Deep Musings on the Meaning of Ragnarok
We’ve all been crazy for Thor: Ragnarok for pretty close to two years now, but who among us knows what Ragnarok actually means? Is it a great and mighty villain who can take on the likes of Thor? Is it a mystical land that Thor is destined to inherit? Is it, as I once thought for whatever reason, a Rubik’s cube style vessel that harvests all the power of the universe?
Thor: Ragnarok is Part One of Three-Part Story Arc for Hulk
The next installment in the Marvel Comic Universe is technically a Thor movie, but this is the franchise’s time to Hulk out. The green guy may not be headlining any of his own movies, but this is his time to shine.
Mark Ruffalo said that the supersized Avenger is going through a growing stage, and Ragnarok is the beginning of the journey. The Hulk and Thor seem to have done some serious bonding and he really stands out in the hilarious Ragnarok trailers.
Everyone is Losing it Over the The Last Jedi‘s Porgs
As the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer was winning the internet yesterday, one particular new member of the galaxy was drawing the most heat—porgs. Like BB-8 in The Force Awakens, Ewoks in The Return of the Jedi, and, of course, R2-D2 in the very first A New Hope, there’s always an inhuman star of any new film in the franchise,
New Star Wars: The Last Jedi Images Highlight Trailer’s Most Thrilling Moments
Still reeling from that delicious Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer? Yeah, us too. Writer/director Rian Johnson looks to have crafted something truly epic with his middle-of-the-trilogy installment, and the latest trailer highlighted the galaxy’s potent new countervailing forces; Rey (Daisy Ridley), and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). Much of what’s to come is clearly riding on their shoulders, and the new trailer made it clear that while Ren has rage and power to spare,

If snakes and spider and bears won’t do it, Tatterdemalion is bound to scare you out of the woods once and for all.
EW premiered the creepy trailer today and it’s super unsettling. This one will take you back to the days of trying to scare your friends at camp outs with the scariest urban legend you know.
Leven Rambin, who you know from The Hunger Games and True Detective,

There are a lot of ways to get the full Harry Potter experience – take the studio tour in London, visit the Orlando theme park, spend two days watching the Cursed Child stage play. Now you can add live in the house where the boy who lived got his name.

Talking With the Editor of the Cannes Palme d’Or-Winning The Square
This year’s Palme d’Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival was the sharp, provocative satire The Square, written and directed by Ruben Östlund. It is the story of a museum curator surrounded by ultra-modern art who creates personal and professional chaos with some impulsive decisions. In part one of a two-part interview, the film’s editor Jacob Secher Schulsinger talked about his work in shaping the film.

Sylvestor Stallone Returning to the Director’s Chair for Creed 2
Sylvester Stallone’s career took off after he wrote and starred in the boxing masterpiece Rocky, a film that launched an entire franchise and, some39 years later, inspired one of the best reboots of the decade, Creed. Now, Stallone has announced he’ll end this the way he started it – in charge.
The star announced he would be directing and producing the sequel to the 2015 smash starring Michael B.
Raw Power on Display in Sensational new Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer
At long last, Disney released a new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi during last night’s Monday Night Football game, and it will obviously win the Internet today. This extended look at writer/director Rian Johnson‘s highly anticipated follow-up to Star Wars: The Force Awakens delivers the goods.
The trailer opens, much like The Force Awakens’ did, with voice over from the new trilogy’s big bad, Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis).
First Thor: Ragnarok Reactions Tease Hilarious, Thrilling Cosmic Adventure
While the review embargo for Taika Waititi‘s Thor: Ragnarok hasn’t been lifted, critics who have seen the film are allowed to react via social media (as they did for Blade Runner 2049), and those initial reactions are all hugely positive. Film critics are praising Waititi’s intergalactic romp as one of the funniest, most visually audacious Marvel films yet, which is precisely what we imagined would be the case when the super-talented Waititi came onboard.
Recapping The 55th Annual New York Film Festival
Given the precarious state of the New York City subway system, I’ve been dreading the commute from my apartment to Lincoln Center, the home of the New York Film Festival. However, the selections that I’ve seen at the 55th edition of the festival thus far have, by and large, been so good that I find myself patiently enduring delays and smiling benevolently at people who accidentally jostle me. Here are some brief mid-festival accolades.
Best of (My Personal) Fest

New Justice League Trailer Boasts Most Detailed Look at Super-Sized Film
This past weekend’s New York Comic-Con boasted some fairly fantastic stuff, and probably nothing was quite as big as the new Justice League trailer that Warner Bros. released, showing the most extended look at what director Joss Whedon has been up to since taking the reigns from Zack Snyder. The new trailer is more than 3 minutes of action, beginning with a haunting vignette that situates the film in the larger context of the DC Universe;
A New Day Dawns for Rick in The Walking Dead Seaon 8 Teaser
Last season of The Walking Dead took a major emotional toll on us all. I don’t know if we can take losses like that again, but here we go.
The season 8 teaser just dropped, and it’s looking far more optimistic than the opening of the previous season. Any signs of positivity are difficult to believe on a post-apocalyptic show where half the characters have died over the show’s run, but the 15 second clip does not reach the depths of despair Rick and the gang faced in season 7.
Blade Runner: 2049‘s Dave Bautista Set to Star in His Own Film
Whether or not you are a fan of the WWE, you have to thank them for the star power they’ve put on screen. Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and now Dave Bautista – among many others – all segued from the ring to the red carpet. Bautista soared to stardom with his role as Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy. He’ll reprise the role in Avengers: Infinity War and apparently puts on a show stopping performance in Blade Runner 2049 that was released today.
NYCC 2017: Keanu Reeves Returns to Sci-Fi Roots With Chilling Replicas
At New York’s Comic-Con on Thursday, Keanu Reeves unveiled the first Replicas trailer alongside the films executive producer Clark Peterson and director Jeffrey Nachmanoff. Reeves, no stranger to science fiction films such thanks to starring in the game-changing The Matrix and, years earlier, the lovable Bill & Ted franchise, plays Will Foster, a neuroscientist in Puerto Rico whose wife and children suddenly die in a tragic car accident. Desperate to bring them back to life,
