The Epic Final Trailer for Stranger Things 2
Friday the 13th turned out to be our lucky day. With exactly 2 weeks to go before Stranger Things 2 binge watching begins, the final trailer has been unleashed.
Another Halloween in the 1980s, another string of strange events. Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) had a pretty miserable first season, but it doesn’t look like things turn around for the poor kid. It’s been a year since the events of season 1 occurred that ended with Will being rescued,...
Gambit Gets a Valentines Day Release Date
Fresh off the announcement of Gore Verbinski’s direction of the Marvel Comics film, Gambit, Twentieth Century Fox has set a release date for the much anticipated motion picture. The superhero film is set to hit theaters February 14th, 2019.
The long awaited film will follow in Deadpool’s footsteps with a Valentine’s Day release. The fellow X-Men spin-off had very favorable sales and generated a total of 783 million dollars worldwide,...
Ai Weiwei’s Heartbreaking, Mesmerizing Documentary Human Flow
Human migration is natural; borders and checkpoints and barbed wire are not. War causes mass suffering, but the indifference of the comfortable exacerbates it unimaginably. Tolerance and compassion are in short supply when they are needed more than ever. These ideas are central to Human Flow, the artist Ai Weiwei’s heartbreaking but mesmerizing documentary on the worst refugee crisis (the United Nations estimates there are currently 65 million people displaced globally) since World War II. Ai traveled to 23 countries to shoot this film,...
How the Marshall Costume Designer Recreated the 1940s with Authentic Vintage Pieces
Ruth E. Carter’s designs have recreated some of the most powerful, tragic, triumphant, and moving stories in American history. She has already had a momentous career designing the costumes for the 2016 television remake of Roots, Denzel Washington’s stunning turn as Malcolm X, and the transcendent Martin Luther King Jr. biopic, Selma. Carter’s work is a master class in meticulous research meeting visionary creativity and it’s most recently displayed in new release,...
Behind The Scenes of The Walking Dead Season 8
AMC just released a behind the scenes look at Season 8 of The Walking Dead that is a pretty good highlight of everything we love about the show. It also strongly foreshadows the violence to come.
Rick, played by Andrew Lincoln, has united a formidable army to fight Negan and the Saviors, but they are ruthless. Last season was almost too much for us to bear from these conscienceless monsters. Season 8 is going to be total war between the groups and the cast and crew are all but preparing us for a lot of losses...
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.
Cyrus grew up in the spotlight and has survived several evolutions,...
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. “For the overall look we wanted to create the mood of the dystopian world that Elliot lives in and contrast that with this seemingly undisturbed E Corp environment,”...
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, shiny black eyes,...
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, Oliver (Armie Hammer),...
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?
Turns out it’s basically the Norse world for apocalypse,...
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, one that people usually love,...
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, Rey’s gifts might ultimately be more game-changing...

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.

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. Jordan. Sly broke the news on Instagram with the ominous tagline “One more Round!” Stallone pulled down an Oscar nomination for reviving the character of Rocky in Creed,...
Raw Power on Display in Sensational new Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer

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. ...
