‘Deadpool’ Starts Chasing That Oscar Gold With New Campaign Video By Jacob Hall/Jan. 13, 2017 2:00 pm EST Oh, to be on the internet in 2008, when The Dark Knight was released and everyone decided that this was Peak Superhero Movie and that it was going to shatter that last barrier and get nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. And while Christopher Nolan’s (still pretty great!) Batman sequel did get its fair share of Oscar nods, it was shut out of the top prize....

‘Star Wars’: Another Jedi Confirmed To Have Survived The Jedi Purge By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 10, 2017 1:30 pm EST How did we end up from there being thousands of Jedi Knights to The Last Jedi? The Jedi were rendered myths after most of the Order was destroyed by Emperor Palpatine and his first-in-command Darth Vader, during the events of Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith. Nearly 10,000 Jedi Knights existed at the time, and it was presumed that all of them — except for Yoda, Obi-Wan, and a select few who were off the radar — died....

‘The Girl With All The Gifts’ Trailer: A Different Kind Of Zombie Movie By Jacob Hall/Jan. 4, 2017 11:30 am EST I missed seeing The Girl With All the Gifts at last year’s Fantastic Fest and came to regret it as many friends and colleagues kept on telling my how much they enjoyed it, with director Colm McCarthy taking home a directing prize at the festival’s awards. More than a few people compared it to The Last of Us, the incredible post-apocalyptic video game whose movie adaptation is currently mired in development hell, which is the kind of praise that would put anything on my radar....

Cool Stuff: The Dino DNA Smuggling ‘Jurassic Park’ Shaving Cream Can Soon Be Yours By Ethan Anderton/July 9, 2018 6:00 am EST While using dinosaur DNA preserved inside prehistoric mosquitoes might be nothing more than a scientific pipe dream, having a way to smuggle it out of Jurassic Park isn’t quite so out of reach. In the original Jurassic Park, the scheming computer expert Dennis Nedry (played by recurring Seinfeld star Wayne Knight) is given a faux shaving cream can that actually functions as a container for stolen dinosaur embryos....

Expect To See A More Vulnerable, Human Side Of John Kreese In ‘Cobra Kai’ Season 2 By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 29, 2018 12:30 pm EST Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) may have the one who swept Daniel LaRusso’s (Ralph Macchio) leg in The Karate Kid, but John Kreese was the one who told him to do it. The original Cobra Kai sensei played by Martin Kove was the cruel karate master who preached “no mercy” to the bullies in the Karate Kid series, but perhaps mercy is what we’ll feel toward John Kreese when Cobra Kai season 2 is over....

Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Pinocchio’ Is Not Happening By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 9, 2017 8:00 am EST Another day, another potential Guillermo del Toro project that we’ll never see. Mr. del Toro is one of the best filmmakers in the business, and he has a tendency to find himself attached to numerous projects, some of which actually get made, others which slip into oblivion. Sadly, it looks like del Toro’s take on Pinocchio falls into the latter category....
