Your Game of Thrones Season Seven Primer
It’s not always easy (okay it’s hard) keeping track of where we left off in Game of Thrones when a new season premieres. A LOT happens on this show, and with how sprawling Westeros is, and how many families, factions and rogue elements are vying for power, it helps to have a guide remind you of where you’ve been and what you’ve seen. We’re here to do that for you.
The season seven premiere is this Sunday night on HBO at 9pm EST.
Watch This new Trailer for Birth of the Dragon & see Bruce Lee’s Most Notorious Fight
For those not intimate with Bruce Lee’s incredible life, you are likely unaware about the most controversial fight of his career. This didn’t happen on camera, nor did it happen in a scheduled martial arts bout—this fight took place privately, between Lee and another martial arts master, and is believed to have been initiated because Lee had the audacity to teach martial arts to white men. This is how Lee and Wong Jack Man had an honor fight,

Check out the First Trailer for Amazon’s Superhero Comedy The Tick
There are plenty of serious superhero shows on TV (Marvel’s got a whole slate of them on Netflix, for example), so perhaps what the world needs now is a Deadpool-like superhero on TV, one who doesn’t take himself, or the superhero world, too seriously. With that in mind, we present you with the first trailer for Amazon’s The Tick.
The conceit is fun; what if the super strong,
This is why you Should see Dunkirk on IMAX
"There were 400,000 men trapped in one place on a beach, their backs to the sea, the enemy closing in all around them, and it's just a matter of time before they face surrender or annihilation, and the fact that this story does not end in surrender or annihilation is what makes it one of the greatest stories in human history."

WB Leaning Towards The Shallows Director Jaume Collet-Serra for Suicide Squad 2
Director Jaume Collet-Serra has put together a fine career of making taut thrillers on relatively modest budgets. His last film, The Shallows, was a smart, pared down woman-vs-shark thriller that took a thin, if clever conceit (Blake Lively's character is only 200 yards from shore, but there's a great white after her, and there's no way she can make it back to shore without confronting the shark) and teased out every last drop of tension.

Christopher Nolan is on a press tour for his upcoming film Dunkirk, which will be shown in a stunning 70mm print and is already receiving some very early raves (theatrical reviews are embargoed, so these raves have been mostly people who saw the film in press screenings and who have turned to social media to give some variation of “wow”). Nolan has long been a director at the very forefront of film technology,

Watch Kit Harington’s Surprising Game Of Thrones Audition Tape
While you know that Kit Harington eventually landed the plum role of Jon Snow on HBO’s Game of Thrones, you likely weren’t aware that Harington actually auditioned for several different parts. For the first time, thanks to showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss, you can now watch those screen tests. They shared them with Jimmy Kimmel, so you can be assured these are real, and not an elaborate, hilarious skit.
Deadpool Congratulates Wonder Woman for Beating his B.O.
Deadpool was the surprise smash hit of the superhero world in 2016, taking in a staggering $363 million and wowing movie insiders for doing so in its own raunchy, R-rated way.

Christopher Nolan Discusses What it Would Take for him to Helm James Bond
The James Bond series has seen films released regularly since the early 1960s, with the titular spy transcending generations to be as familiar to millennials as he is to their parents. With the successful release of Spectre in late 2015, the time feels ripe for another installment. That said, the future of the series has been less than clear recently. Change is in the air, even as the next film in the series is anticipated in late 2018.
