‘Anne’ Trailer: Netflix Series Goes Back To Green Gables By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 5, 2017 4:00 pm EST Anne of Green Gables was a literary staple of many a girl’s childhood (including mine) and received the pitch-perfect adaptation in the form of the 1985 Canadian two-part miniseries starring Megan Follows as Anne With An “E” Shirley. So it’s hard to imagine that Anne, the Netflix series adaptation of Lucy Maud Montgomery’s novel, will live up to that legacy....

‘Stranger Things’ Officially Renewed For Season 2 By Angie Han/Aug. 31, 2016 6:24 am EST To date, one of the strangest things about Stranger Things has been the lack of a renewal. Netflix has been known to renew just about everything, sometimes even before the season one premiere, and Stranger Things is believed to be one of the most-watched Netflix original series of all time. It seemed just plain odd that, a full month after Stranger Things’ debut, the service hadn’t gotten around to re-upping it....

‘The Autopsy Of Jane Doe’ Red Band Trailer: Terror (And Blood And Guts) In Four Stages By Jacob Hall/Oct. 14, 2016 9:00 am EST When I left the theater after seeing The Autopsy of Jane Doe at Fantastic Fest last month, the first thing I did was try to find a way to steady my nerves because this movie is scary as hell. The second thing I did was wonder how IFC Midnight was going to market a movie that takes place almost entirely around an autopsy table, with an increasingly, uh, examined dead body being central to much of the plot....

‘The Mindy Project’ Final Season Trailer: Mindy Finally Says Later, Baby By Hoai-Tran Bui/Sept. 1, 2017 2:00 pm EST But Mindy Kaling’s 6-season project did serve some laughs and one of the best relationships on comedy TV for a while there, which is why this final season feels a little bittersweet. Mindy’s married but she’s “not buried!” Which is apparently the mantra of the season, as Mindy juggles with her new marriage with Ben (aka Not Danny) with her responsibilities as a mother, while being as Mindy as possible....

Dwayne Johnson And Henry Cavill Tease A Superman/Black Adam Confrontation By Jacob Hall/Dec. 27, 2016 9:30 am EST Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, movie fans of all ages: welcome to the final week of the year, a period noteworthy for its relaxed atmosphere, chillier weather, and lingering holiday hangover.

How Michael Giacchino’s ‘Rogue One’ Score Pays Homage To John Williams [Video Essay] By Ethan Anderton/April 19, 2017 6:00 am EST Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was a grand experiment for Disney and Lucasfilm. The movie was meant to be a standalone adventure that has ties to the main Star Wars narrative without being part of the Skywalker saga. That’s why it has plenty in common aesthetically, as far as the production design and art direction is concerned, but still feels different from the rest of the Star Wars movies....
