Juno Temple Grabs a Spiked Bat in First “Fargo” Season 5 Teaser

Juno Temple has taken on a vastly different role from her lovable Ted Lasso character in Keeley Jones in the upcoming fifth season of Fargo. FX has revealed a new teaser for their deliciously demented anthology series, and it reveals Temple as Dorothy “Dot” Lyon, a seemingly typical Midwestern housewife who’s made some questionable decisions in her past, a past she’s tried to outrun. This being Fargo, her past is bound to not only catch up with her but surround her in the most intrusive way possible...

“No One Will Save You” Review Round-Up: A Lean, Mean, Nerve-Fraying Alien Home Invasion Thriller

There’s a lean, mean, and deliciously well-made new thriller that’s officially arrived on Hulu, writer/director Brian Duffield’s alien invasion film No One Will Save You. 

No One Will Save You is centered on Brynn (Kaitlyn Dever), a talented young woman who’s been alienated from her community and living in her childhood home, the only place she finds any real peace or comfort. That changes one night when she wakes up to some unsettling noises and finds out that it’s even worse than your typical,...

“Dumb Money” Director Craig Gillespie Dissects the Wall Street GameStop Debacle

Dumb Money director Craig Gillespie already knew all about “Roaring Kitty” when screenwriters Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo sent him their script detailing Wall Street’s Pandemic-era GameStop fiasco. The David and Goliath showdown pitted YouTube financial guru Keith Gill, AKA “Screaming Kitty,” against hedge fund billionaires who were “short-selling” GameStop stocks so they could drive down the value of the then-obscure video game retail outlet. Gill’s defiant advice to buy GameStop shares attracted some eight million followers...

Framing Big Laughs & Real Emotion With “Only Murders in the Building” Emmy-Nominated Editor Peggy Tachdjian

Emmy-nominated editor Peggy Tachdjian had never really cut comedy before leaping into the Building, as it were, of Hulu’s hit Only Murders in the Building. The series was created by comedy legend Steven Martin and John Hoffman and is led by Martin, fellow comedy icon Martin Short, and a perfectly cast Selena Gomez as three true crime obsessives living in the same New York City building, the Arconia, who quickly find themselves in the middle of a true crime scenario themselves...

The second trailer for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is here, inviting you back to Panem to a time before Katniss Everdeen was becoming a living legend and Coriolanus Snow wasn’t a brutal despot but a young striver. Lionsgate has dropped a fresh look at the prequel, which comes from seasoned Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence.

“A Million Miles Away” Co-Writer/Director Alejandra Márquez Abella on Capturing a Dream Come True

Filmmaker Alejandra Márquez Abella learned of José Hernández 15 years ago when his inspirational story made headlines: Hernández, who toiled in the fields as a child alongside his family, is the first migrant farmworker to become a NASA astronaut and go into space — a lifelong dream he realized after nearly a decade of perseverance and pluck and with the unwavering support of his family and friends. When producers Mark Ciardi and Campbell McInnes approached Abella about bringing Hernández’s story to the screen,...

Lightning Strikes a Modern Demigod in the First “Percy Jackson and The Olympians” Trailer

The first trailer for Disney+’s Percy Jackson and The Olympians has arrived, revealing Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg’s upcoming series about the titular demigod Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) and his tempestuous connection to the Gods of Mt. Olympus. Those connections include the mighty and mightily peeved Zeus (the late Lance Reddick), who accuses Percy of stealing his master lightning bolt. Yikes.

Being on Zeus’s bad side is not the only thing troubling Percy. He is just a 12-year-old kid in the modern world,...

Nicolas Cage Enters the Collective Subconscious in Compelling “Dream Scenario” Trailer

There are certain roles that seem so tailor-made for a specific performer that you simply couldn’t imagine anyone else in them. This has been true for Nicolas Cage, a singular presence, to say the least, in a number of his films, most notably Moonstruck, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, and Adaptation. These four films helped establish Cage as one of the most intriguing performers of his generation, and now, with writer/director Kristoffer Borgli‘s Dream Scenario, ...

Keanu Reeves Told the “John Wick: Chapter 4” Team He Wanted Wick to Die at the End

Making a movie is a lot of work. It can be a grueling (if rewarding) experience for everyone, yet it’s safe to say that the level of exhaustion Keanu Reeves feels after filming a John Wick installment is profound. Reeves notoriously pours his heart and soul into filming the action-heavy franchise, which included performing one of the series’ most massively intricate fight scenes in the original 2014 John Wick with a 103-degree temperature (revealed by co-directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski in the director’s commentary for the film.) “We were pretty dialed in that it was gonna be Keanu [performing the action],”...

“The Creator” First Reactions: A Stunning, Emotionally Resonant Original Sci-Fi Saga

It sounds as if writer/director Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Rogue One) has pulled it off. Delivering a huge, original sci-fi blockbuster is a hard thing to do in the best of times, and especially hard in a climate that prefers its blockbusters to have built-in IP, yet the first reactions to his latest film, The Creator, suggest he’s done just that. “Masterful,” “soulful,” “visually stunning and emotional,” and “absolutely radical” are a few of the descriptions being bandied about...

New “Loki” Season 2 Featurette Explores the God of Mischief’s Turn Towards Heroism

“I’m excited to be back at the TVA” says Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston, at the top of this new behind-the-scenes featurette for season two. The TVA is the Time Variance Authority, the bureaucracy that rules the many temporal threads of the multiverse and where Loki ended up after his many crimes. “The stakes are huge,” promises Sophia Di Martino, who plays Sylvie, one of Loki’s alter egos, his romantic interest, and a rising star in the MCU in her own right...

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is the Highest-Grossing Biopic Ever

The father of the atomic bomb has surpassed Freddie Mercury.

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has now overtaken 2018’s Bohemian Rhapsody as the highest-grossing biopic ever as it nears the billion-dollar mark at the global box office. Bohemian Rhapsody, which covered the rise of Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek) and his supergroup Queen, brought in $910.8 million at the global box office—from an estimated budget of $55 million. Nolan’s biopic about J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) has brought in $912.7...

“A Haunting in Venice” Editor Lucy Donaldson on Cutting Hercule Poirot’s Crisis of Confidence

Kenneth Branagh is back as director and star with his latest Agatha Christie film adaptation, A Haunting in Venice, based on Christie’s novel “Hallowe’en Party.” As with his other adaptations, A Haunting in Venice is a who-done-it in which a great cast joins Branagh’s twisted tale, which in the latest installment includes Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Dornan, and Kelly Reilly. 

Branagh once again plays famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, but the audience meets a different sleuth in this post-World War II story. ...

Donald Glover’s “Lando” Series Will be a Movie Instead

We were enthused when we heard Donald Glover would be hopping back in the Millennium Falcon as Lando Calrissian. The news broke in late July that Donald and his brother Stephen Glover were penning a new script based on the former’s turn as the young Lando Calrissian in 2018’s Star Wars spinoff Solo: A Star Wars Story. The notion was that the Glovers were going to create a new series about Lando’s adventures as a young man for Disney+...

“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” Trailer Unleashes a Bigger, Badder Black Manta

The first trailer for director James Wan’s upcoming Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom has arrived, unleashing an ocean’s worth of action, an even more jacked Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), and a changed Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa). Arthur, who you might remember is also Aquaman, was a self-described “wanderer” before the events in the first film. He had no home, no real responsibilities, and due to his immense abilities inherited from his mother, Atlanna (Nicole Kidman),...

Brie Larson’s a Cooking Phenom in First “Lessons in Chemistry” Trailer

“I like to cook. It’s just chemistry.”

This is how Elizabeth Zott (Brie Larson) looks at her skill in the kitchen, not as a chore or a duty or even an art form, but as, well, a lesson in chemistry. Elizabeth is a lab tech, a talented one, who is on the cusp of a scientific breakthrough when she’s summarily fired. The problem for Elizabeth is this is the 1950s, and young women are not the types of people her male bosses want,...

Do not travel with us to a galaxy far, far away if you haven’t watched episode five of Ahsoka.

Okay, now that we got that bit of galactic business over with, let’s take a quick look at the major moments in Ahsoka’s fifth episode. The conflict between the titular rebel Jedi (Rosario Dawson) and Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson), Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno), and their fellow malcontents was put on the back burner as our hero took a heady trip into the past...
