Game of Thrones Recap: Season Seven Premiere “Dragonstone”
When Game of Thrones season seven premiere began, we saw a familiar, craggy face staring at us; the raping, disgusting visage of Walder Frey. This was odd, considering the last time we saw this ripe lump of lechery, he was being crossed off Arya Stark’s revenge list with a knife across his throat, the youngest Stark smiling down at him, fulfilling the promise she made to herself that her face would be the last he’d ever see...
Dunkirk’s IMAX Release Magnifies Power of one of History’s Most Miraculous Escapes
History has decided its name: The Miracle of Dunkirk. In May 1940, Germany launched its war against Western Europe with a lightning invasion that saw Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands fall in quick succession. With the Low Countries devoured and a still ravenous appetite, the Nazis turned their gaze to France and continued their advance.
They moved rapidly westward across France toward the sea, eventually cutting off and encircling British Expeditionary and Allied forces in the small northern city of Dunkirk...
How Might Someone Kill Daenerys’ Dragons?
It has been a long and winding road – or rather flight – for Daenerys’ dragons since we saw them hatch in the finale of Game of Thrones’ first season. Powerful from the first, the dragons’ growth since then has only reinforced perceptions of Dany’s invincibility. Audiences have seen them wreak massive damage with only a single burst of flame. As Dany draws steadily nearer her goal of conquering Westeros, the likelihood that audiences will see her dragons in action on a battlefield increases...
Intriguing Game of Thrones Fan Theories to Digest Before Sunday’s Season 7 Premiere
What exactly do Game of Thrones fans do during the notoriously long waits between seasons? If the overwhelming number of ideas on the internet right now is any indication, they spend ample time rereading the books and developing theories. With the show returning this weekend, fans might just see some of these theories become fact.
Though never a likable character, Cersei’s use of wildfire to massacre hundreds at the Sept of Baelor in last season’s finale left her with more enemies than ever...
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, and in this new trailer for director George Nolfi’s ...
The Batman Director Matt Reeves to Write Brand new Script
We recently wrote about the exciting news that Christopher Nolan is restoring his entire Dark Knight trilogy in 4k. Nolan’s version of Batman changed superhero movies completely, with a very ambitious director taking a comic book character and the world he inhabits seriously. The results speak for themselves; the Dark Knight trilogy was a commercial and critical smash, a definitive take on the mythology of one of the most popular superheroes of all time.
This might explain why fans are so eager,...
Baby Driver‘s Lily James Joins Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again
After being the engine that made Baby's heart go in Baby Driver, Variety reports that Lily James is joining the cast of Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again. The new film is a sequel to the 2008 film adaptation of the musical Mamma Mia!, which itself was based around and featured much of ABBA’s hit music.
James will be playing the young Donna (Meryl Streep's character), joining the original cast,...
What do These Photos From Game of Thrones Season Seven Premiere Tell us?
With Game of Thrones' season seven premiere now just a few days away, HBO has dropped a few photos from the episode to give viewers a taste (and to likely throw us off the scent) of what’s to come. You won't be seeing any more trailers or new photos until Sunday night's premiere, which is titled “Dragonstone.”
The images include everyone's favorite diminutive bad ass, Lyanna Mormont, no doubt speaking up and speaking her mind,...
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, super brave superhero is actually just a figment of the imagination of a super nerd?...
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."
This is writer/director Christopher Nolan on his upcoming film Dunkirk, his first foray into capturing a real historical moment,...

Clint Eastwood took yet another daring move, this time in regards to his upcoming film The 15:17 to Paris. Variety reports that the film will tell the story of the three American friends-turned-heroes when they prevented a terrorist attack on Thalys train #9364 headed for Paris. In an unusual twist, the three friends – Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos, and Spencer Stone – will be played by themselves. The three will have fairly larger roles,...
Watch Brie Larson & Woody Harrelson in the new Trailer for The Glass Castle
Lionsgate released a new trailer for the upcoming film The Glass Castle, called “Dream.” The film is based on the long-lasting New York Times best-selling memoir of the same name by Jeanette Walls, a gripping portrait of family dysfunction that made major waves when it was published in 2005.

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...
Watch Andy Serkis Become Gollum to Read Donald Trump’s Tweets
Andy Serkis, the brilliant actor who has portrayed the ape Caesar in the new Planet of the Apes reboot, is on a press tour to discuss the final installment, War for the Planet of the Apes. Last night he was on the Late Show With Stephen Colbert to discuss the film, which has quietly become of the most critically acclaimed reboots of the past decade. While there, Colbert, a huge ...
Christoper Nolan Working on 4K Remaster of The Dark Knight Trilogy
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,...
Felicity Jones to Star in Swan Lake Adaptation
The famous 1875 Tchaikovsky ballet Swan Lake is being turned into a feature film. The film’s script is written by Kristina Lauren Anderson and is set to be directed by Luca Guadagnino (A Bigger Splash). Felicity Jones (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) will star in the feature film.

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.
Harington as Hodor about had us falling out of our seats...
