And what better upgrade than as a modern Japanese woman with unruly hair and even more unruly social skills?...

Abrams-Produced World War II Movie By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 18, 2018 6:36 am EST Bad Robot dives into historical horror with Overlord, the World War II zombie movie that is probably not a secret Cloverfield sequel. Touted as the company’s first R-rated film, Overlord is directed by Julius Avery and produced by J.J. Abrams. Though it’s been shrouded in mystery for the past few months, Abrams’ famous mystery box finally opens with the first trailer....

‘Runaways’ Trailer Offers More Magic And Familiar Marvel Characters By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 26, 2017 10:12 am EST Until now, the trailers for Marvel’s Runaways seemed to lean heavily on the “runaways” element of the title and not the “Marvel” element. It makes sense — the Hulu series is created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage of The OC fame, and is catered to the young adult demographic, relying on teen soap tropes to bring the characters from the Marvel Comics to life....

That’s right, even though Spider-Man: Homecoming doesn’t arrive until July of next year, Sony Pictures is so confident in their collaboration with Marvel Studios to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe that they’ve staked out a date in the summer of 2019....

‘Suburbicon’ First Look: George Clooney’s Coen Brothers-Scripted Dark Comedy By Jack Giroux/July 26, 2017 2:00 pm EST George Clooney and Joel and Ethan Coen have been working together for 17 wonderful years. The filmmakers often turn one of our most charismatic, confident and thoughtful actors into a complete and utter buffoon. For years, they’ve made Clooney play some of their most appealing dim-witted characters. In their latest collaboration, he ain’t playing no moron....

‘Teen Titans Go! To The Movies’ Trailer: The Satirical Superhero Show Gets Its Own Movie By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 10, 2018 10:45 am EST Finally, a Teen Titans movie. Except er, it’s Teen Titans Go! And there’s a 15-second fart joke that takes up one-third of this trailer. And they all have their own customized Wonder Woman costumes. I guess that’s the price us long-suffering Teen Titans fans have to pay to see Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy in their original team incarnation on the big screen....

‘The Mountain Between Us’ Trailer: Kate Winslet And Idris Elba Are Stranded Strangers By Hoai-Tran Bui/May 31, 2017 7:30 am EST Despite a vague title that sounds somewhat like a romantic-comedy, Kate Winslet and Idris Elba aren’t here to romance each other in The Mountain Between Us (though I would watch that rom-com). The two of them play strangers whose plane crashes on a desolate Colorado mountaintop and must fight to survive against the freezing elements, wild animals, and their own attraction to each other — it was inevitable, they are the most beautiful people in the world — in the recently released official trailer....

Forest Whitaker Joins Johnny Depp In ‘Labyrinth’ By Jack Giroux/Nov. 16, 2016 4:30 pm EST This is a fine year for Forest Whitaker. We recently saw him in the fantastic Arrival, not too long ago he signed up for Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther, and he has Rogue One: A Star Wars Story coming up. The more we see of the actor, producer, and director, the better, so it’s good to hear he’s added another intriguing project to his slate....

And now, their second monsters-centric show is here and it resets the bar again. Mondo’s latest gallery, dedicated to Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man, the Mummy, and the rest of that creepy and unnervingly sympathetic family of things that go bump in the night, opened tonight and it’s spectacular....

Netflix Offline Playback Is Finally Here By Angie Han/Nov. 30, 2016 7:30 am EST When it comes to convenience, it’s hard to beat Netflix. You can stream shows to your living room TV, to your tablet while you’re at the gym, to your smartphone while you’re waiting in a checkout line. The one big catch has been that you need an internet connection to do it. Netflix is great if you’re looking to pass time while riding the bus; less so if you’re headed to a subway with no wifi connection....

Pokémon Movie ‘Detective Pikachu’ Gets ‘Goosebumps’ Director Rob Letterman By Angie Han/Nov. 30, 2016 6:46 pm EST Legendary Pictures is wasting no time capitalizing on the Pokémon craze. Over the summer, they announced plans to make a live-action film based on Great Detective Pikachu, and a few weeks later they locked down a pair of screenwriters to get the ball rolling. Now they’ve caught themselves a director. Rob Letterman (Goosebumps) has just been hired to direct the film....

By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 22, 2018 6:00 am EST Rocky is not just one of the greatest sports movies of all time, but one of the greatest films ever made. Period. But if there’s one thing about the Rocky that wasn’t all that great, it was the original poster. Even though it features the great tagline “His whole life was a million-to-one shot,” the black and white poster only featured Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) and Adrian (Talia Shire) walking with their backs to us....

VOTD: This Year’s Best Picture Snafu Could Have Been Avoided With Better Typography By Ethan Anderton/March 27, 2017 6:00 am EST After this year’s 89th Academy Awards aired last month, all anyone could talk about was the unprecedented mistake that happened when the wrong Best Picture winner was announced live on the air.
