One place you should seek out The Big Sick, if you’re lucky enough to have one near you, is at the Alamo Drafthouse....

A ‘Penny Dreadful’ Sequel Comic Comes Out Early Next Year By Jack Giroux/Oct. 31, 2016 4:05 pm EST The Penny Dreadful series finale is a bit of a disappointment. Not because fans didn’t know the season three finale was actually the series finale until the end credits, but because the show rushes a little towards the finish line. A few storylines and subplots, like which side Ethan Chandler chooses, feel incomplete....

By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 26, 2017 6:00 am EST “Your time has come. Opie must die!” Almost Famous is quite the popular film among the /Film crew, counted as an all-time favorite for several members on our staff.

First Look: Gary Oldman Transforms Into Winston Churchill For ‘Darkest Hour’ By Jacob Hall/Nov. 6, 2016 9:00 am EST My second favorite thing about Gary Oldman is that he’s not picky, which means we’re always getting a new Gary Oldman performance on a fairly regular basis. He’ll play heroes and villains, spies and politicians, wizards and comic book characters. He’s fought hyper-intelligent apes, the Joker, and an on-the-spectrum hitman played by Jean Reno....

Legendary’s 3D Ghostbusting Action Movie ‘Spectral’ Goes To Netflix By Jack Giroux/Nov. 17, 2016 3:31 pm EST This past summer Spectral was scheduled to open in theaters. If the movie wasn’t on your radar, that’s understandable. We’ve seen few promotional materials and the film never actually made it to theaters. The sci-fi action movie pits James Badge Dale (13 Hours, pictured above) and Emily Mortimer (Shutter Island) against supernatural forces. Nic Mathieu’s 3D film has been described as Black Hawk Dawn with supernatural forces — an enticing mashup that Netflix, not Universal, will release next month....

LOL: Charles Barkley Can’t Understand ‘Star Wars’ Aliens In This Cut ‘SNL’ Sketch By Ethan Anderton/March 6, 2018 6:00 am EST Last weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Charles Barkley was fairly lackluster.
