Rey’s Tempted by the Dark Side in new Star Wars: The Last Jedi Teaser

One of the most surprising moments in the Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer was when Rey (Daisy Ridley) appeared to be about ready to accept the outstretched hand of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), her mortal enemy and the poster child (er, man) of the Dark Side. At the time we assumed this was a clever head fake by the marketing team, a way to throw us off the scent of the film’s real narrative trajectory. While it neatly echoed the battle between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader,...

Late Night Host Seth Meyers Lands Golden Globes Hosting Gig

Ever since 2013, when people think Golden Globes, they often think of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The powerhouse comediennes dominated as hosts for three years running, but hung up their hosting hats after the 2015 awards. The search has been on to find a brave, and funny, performer to fill the spot for the 2018 awards, and we finally have a winner. SNL alum and late night talk host Seth Meyers will headline the upcoming Golden Globe Awards...

Poirot Sequel to Murder On the Orient Express in the Works

Kenneth Branagh’s Murder on the Orient Express was the type of stuff that holiday movie release dreams are made of. The Agatha Christie adaptation was an exciting adventure in a beautiful, sweeping, snowy landscape filled with compelling performances. The stylized camera work was fresh and interesting as it moved through the train cars without being a distraction. After only two weekends in theaters, Twentieth Century Fox has ordered the sequel Death on the Nile.

Both stories feature Christie’s most famous serial detective,...

Vice Admiral Holdo and Poe Dameron Will Clash in The Last Jedi

EW has released the most in depth look yet at The Last Jedi, and the magazine revealed an intriguing new alliance. One of our favorite partnerships is that of X-Wing fighter Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) and his superior, General Leia. Their brash and brave behavior makes for a fun dynamic and exciting action. We feel lucky to see these two work together one last time. However, over the course of the film, Poe will be reporting to a new authority,...

Jack-Jack Reveals His Powers in The Incredibles 2 Teaser

Throughout The Incredibles, the youngest member of the family was believed to be normal, which was not normal among the superhero group. The finale revealed, however, that Jack Jack may be the most powerful of all. It was surely a setup for a sequel, but we waited in a long, dark void with not a murmur from the superheroes. Our wait is finally over. Jack-Jack is back!

As a powerless Jack-Jack is kidnapped by supervillain Syndrome in the original film,...

First A Wrinkle In Time Trailer Foreshadows an Epic Adventure

Meg Murry (Storm Reid) is a young aspiring scientist interested in her father’s study of time and space. Dr...

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 ...

The Story Behind the Orthodontist Who Designed That Stranger Things Shirt

Jim Hopper may be the authority on solving mysteries in the Upside Down, but we wanted to get answers to the case of the vintage orthodontist shirt so we did a little detective work of our own. Ok, it was just regular old journalism, but we did track down the Missouri doctor who designed Dustin’s shirt in episodes 5 and 6 of Stranger Things 2. Orthodontist Wes Allai, from Springfield, MO gave us the low down on the story behind the design,...

James Franco Circling Multiple Man Role for X-Men Spin-off

Fox is currently in negotiations with the indefatigable James Franco, currently playing twin brothers on the HBO series The Deuce, to star as the X-Men hero Multiple Man in a spin-off film. Wonder Woman writer Allan Heinberg is also in talks to pen the screenplay, while X-Men super producer/writer/director Simon Kinberg is set to produce alongside Franco.

Multiple Man, also known as Jamie Madrox, was born with cloning abilities...

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, George, who grows dozens of feel tall when he touches an alien capsule...

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. Orthodontist Wes Allai from Springfield, MO (formerly most famous as the hometown of Brad Pitt, but obviously now this) spotted a familiar design that he never expected to see on TV. Stranger Things favorite, Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), was sporting a T-shirt Allai had designed in 1982 promoting his practice...

Sony Pictures Nabs Quentin Tarantino’s 9th Film, Major Stars Circling

Once Quentin Tarantino put his mysterious 9th film on the market (which currently has a working title of #9), just about every major studio vied for a chance to work with the auteur. Tarantino is the rare filmmaker whose name alone brings people to the theater, and his career has been a testament to his singular storytelling approach, which is why he routinely gets the biggest names in Hollywood to star in his films...

Count Dracula and the Gang Set Sail in Hotel Transylvania 3 Trailer

Even creatures who own their own hotel need a little time away once in a while. A new trailer for Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation reveals that Count Dracula was really feeling the strain of owning a business day in and day out, and decided to hit the open seas.

After one too many antics at the hotel drive Dracula to the edge, the whole gang packs up and leaves the land behind. Mavis books a cruise,...

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...

What We Know About Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Exactly one year from today, something wicked will be unleashed on the wizarding world. To mark the occasion, we were showered with magical goodies from the official Fantastic Beasts Twitter.

We can finally stop referring to the next Newt Scamander adventure as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 2. The official title has been announced and part 2 of the Fantastic Beasts series will be titled The Crimes of Grindelwald...

Poe and Leia Have a Moment in the New Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer

Bits and pieces of The Last Jedi are being dripped to us in tiny increments in the form of miniscule variances between trailers. Of course, we are pouring over each detail for clues and meaning in eager anticipation of the film’s release.

Going to the theater and seeing a film that has already given away its best parts in the trailer is always a disappointment. There is no danger of that in The Last Jedi...

Manipulator or Martyr? New Waco Trailer Asks the Question

Waco reimagines a side of the Branch Davidian raid that hasn’t been seen before, from inside the Texas compound. In 1993, the world gazed from outside as the FBI and ATF engaged in a 51 day standoff with the religious cult led by David Koresh. Koresh was killed along with 75 of his followers, leaving the story of what occurred inside largely untold.

Taylor Kitsch plays Koresh, and in what we’ve seen thus far, Kitsch’s Koresh is calm,...

The Official Star Wars: The Last Jedi Countdown has Begun

Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s tickets are already on sale, which means we’re officially in countdown mode. What we didn’t expect as we prepared to return to the Star Wars universe was for major news to break about the future of the franchise, but break it did—and boy was it good news. ...

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...

Guillermo del Toro Shares Looks at Latest Revelatory Creature from The Shape of Water

There are few filmmakers working today who have delivered more revelatory creatures than Guillermo del Toro. The auteur behind Mimic, The Devil’s Backbone, Blade II, Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy, and Pacific Rim has proven time and time again he’s the king of complicated monsters. In his upcoming film, The Shape of Water, del Toro has taken a career’s worth of know-how and poured it into a creature, and a film, that have drawn rave reviews on the festival circuit and have put the filmmaker and the film squarely in awards season chatter. ...
