This New Black Panther Poster Almost Can’t Contain the Star Power
There are so many powerhouse actors and cool things to see in Black Panther that this new poster practically can’t contain it all. Ten of the film’s stars are gathered, ready for action, before a Wakandan skyline. We’ve been seeing some stunning images from the film ahead of its opening, but it’s difficult to fathom the magnitude of the movie until you see the main characters gathered in one place.

His long, incredible career touched some of the biggest films in history, including Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (he created the incredible “Dawn of Man” sequence, which gave poetic beauty to the transformation of apes into homo sapiens), as well as Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove, turning Peter Sellers into multiple characters for yet another iconic Kubrick film...

We learned more about Leia and Han, who went on to have Ben, better known as Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), who went from studying under Luke to becoming at least one of the reasons Luke went into exile. Ben/Ren’s plunge into the Dark Side was likely one reason Luke and Leia,...

I, Tonya Director Craig Gillepsie on Revisiting the Second Most Surreal Sports-Related Crime in the ’90s
Back in 1994, when tabloid TV shows such as “Hard Copy” and “Inside Edition” became the rage and CNN fed the public’s hunger for 24-hour news coverage, two crime-related stories revolving around sports figures would provide ample sustenance. One involved the arrest of football hero O.J. Simpson for the lurid murders of wife Nicole and Ron Goldman. The other was a good vs. evil scenario that pitted skating princess Nancy Kerrigan against the less-polished, more athletic Tonya Harding. Before both U.S...
