Jason Mantzoukas Gives A Guided Tour Of The Totally Illegal Casino From ‘The House’ By Ethan Anderton/June 6, 2017 3:30 pm EST Making time for a night out on the town can be difficult when you’re exhausted by the suburban lifestyle of going to work and driving the kids around everywhere. But what if you could experience the luxury of Las Vegas without leaving your perfect little neighborhood? It’s not a dream anymore, because Frank’s Place is here....

New ‘RoboCop’ Sequel To Exist In Original Continuity By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 23, 2018 11:30 am EST A new RoboCop sequel? I’d buy that for a dollar. In a new interview, Ed Neumeier, who co-wrote the original RoboCop, revealed that he’s working on a “continuation” of the the first film for MGM. Neumeier was vague on the details, but revealed the film would go back to “the old RoboCop we all love....

The ‘Stranger Things’ Season 2 Soundtrack Is Out; Listen To A New Song By Hoai-Tran Bui/Oct. 12, 2017 2:30 pm EST Stranger Things wouldn’t be the nostalgia-fueled ’80s genre movie love letter that it is without an appropriately synth-heavy soundtrack. The eerie opening theme has joined the ranks of Peak TV’s most iconic title sequences, subdued and retro as it is. So it’s no wonder that Netflix would have a glitzy rollout for its Stranger Things season 2 soundtrack, soon to be made available digitally and on CD, vinyl, and cassette tapes....

They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.) In this edition, listen to Michael Bolton’s theme song for Game of Thrones, as if the series were a cheesy drama from the early 1990s....

The Morning Watch: Traumatic PG Movie Moments, Game Of Thrones Rap Recap & More By Ethan Anderton/July 14, 2017 6:00 am EST (The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows.) This edition of The Morning Watch features an assembly of some of the most traumatic movie moments in movies that are rated PG (before the PG-13 rating was ever created), a rap recap of the first six seasons of Game of Thrones, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol....

Uma Thurman To Star In Supernatural Netflix Series ‘Chambers’ By Chris Evangelista/May 31, 2018 4:00 am EST Uma Thurman has kept a bit of a low profile from acting in the last few years, but now she’s back, and that’s great news. Thurman will next star in the supernatural Netflix series Chambers, which is apparently about a haunted human heart. What more do you need? The “haunted organ donor” sub-genre has produced films like Body Parts, The Eye and a pretty gnarly segment in the horror anthology film Body Bags....

VOTD: ‘Back To The Future’ Video Compares All Five Versions Of Hill Valley Side-By-Side By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 31, 2017 5:00 am EST Anyone who is a fan of the Back the Future trilogy knows that there are plenty of visual and narrative parallels shared between the three films. One of the most obvious examples is when Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) walks into the town square of Hill Valley. Throughout the course of the film franchise, Marty enters three versions of his hometown that are very different from the one he’s used to early in the first film....

VOTD: ‘Early Man’ Featurettes Extensively Reveal Every Step Of Making A Stop-Motion Animated Movie By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 22, 2018 6:00 am EST Even though Black Panther is the talk of Hollywood right now, there’s another movie that opened last weekend that deserves our attention, and that’s Aardman Animation’s latest production Early Man. In an age when computer animation is so prominent, stop-motion animated has gone by the wayside. But thankfully studios like Aardman Animation are keeping it alive be creating fantastic feature length adventures using clay models that move frame-by-frame....

Watch Zack Snyder’s ‘Batman V Superman’ / ‘Star Wars’ Mashup By Angie Han/Dec. 8, 2016 9:00 am EST Like Star Wars, but wish it were a little more like Batman v Superman? Zack Snyder has you covered. The DC director has taken it upon himself to mash up the Batman v Superman trailer with Star Wars, reframing the conflict as “Dark Side Knight v Superjedi.” It’s a cute little exercise, but one that’s bound to ruffle some feathers in both fandoms — especially once you realize this means he’s cast Batman as some sort of Sith lord....

Zombie Christmas Musical ‘Anna And The Apocalypse’ Will Arrive In 2018 By Jacob Hall/Jan. 9, 2018 11:00 am EST Anna and the Apocalypse was one of the most delightful movies I saw in 2017 and now it will be one of the most delightful movies more people will get to see in 2018. The film, a Christmas musical set during the zombie apocalypse, has been picked up by Orion for a 2018 release and a certain breed of move fan will soon have a new holiday favorite to break out every December....

‘Arrested Development’ Season 4 Remix Arrives This Week, Season 5 Coming “Real Soon” By Ben Pearson/May 1, 2018 1:00 pm EST Here’s some good news for Arrested Development fans. In an announcement on Twitter earlier today, creator Mitch Hurwitz said that season 5 of the show is coming “real soon.” So soon, in fact, that we should be surprised that we’re only hearing about the release date now. But while its exact premiere date remains a mystery (for now), Hurwitz is following through on a promise he made back in 2014: an Arrested Development season 4 remix is coming to Netflix this week....

‘Better Call Saul’ Season 3 Gets A Premiere Date, A Clip, And A Fried Chicken Kingpin By Angie Han/Jan. 16, 2017 2:41 pm EST Better Call Saul hasn’t exactly been subtle with its hints that Breaking Bad baddie Gus Fring would come knocking in the very near future. Last week, they went so far as to release a Los Pollos Hermanos “commercial” featuring Giancarlo Esposito back in character. But it’s only now they’ve finally gone and made it official....

‘Buffalo Boys’ Is A Wild Shotgun Blast Of Exciting Action And Overly Familiar Story Beats [Fantasia Film Festival] By Matt Donato/Aug. 3, 2018 1:00 pm EST In the early years of Dutch and Indonesian relations, many indigenous villagers were wronged by European “settlers.” One of those failed is Arana (Tio Pakusadewo), who swears retribution for his slain brother at the hands of a military tyrant named Van Trach (Reinout Bussemaker). Decades later – after exile in America – Arana returns to Java with his brother’s sons Jamar (Ario Bayu) and Suwo (Yoshi Sudarso)....

‘Deadpool 2’ Will Bring Back Some Of The Merc With A Mouth’s Buddies By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 13, 2017 1:00 pm EST Just yesterday, we learned that Deadpool 2 would still very much be a solo adventure for the Merc with a Mouth. But co-writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick did promise that it would still be populated with “a lot of characters.” We know that a couple of those characters are supposed to be Marvel Comics favorites Cable and Domino, but there’s also room for some of the characters from the first movie to return....

‘Doctor Strange’ Honest Trailer: ‘‘You Ever Watch Iron Man On Weed?’’ By Angie Han/Feb. 28, 2017 4:00 pm EST In Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme manages to survive a gnarly car accident, Mads Mikkelsen in full villain mode, an extremely feisty cape, and a third-act climax that isn’t a big CG battle in the sky. But can he withstand the cutting scorn of the Screen Junkies team? … I mean, probably....

‘Isle Of Dogs’ Clip: Wes Anderson Stages A Dog Fight By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 9, 2018 5:30 am EST There’s a new Isle of Dogs clip, and it’s predictably delightful. Wes Anderson’s new stop-motion film boasts a stellar cast of voice actors while once again transferring the filmmaker’s trademark style to an animated playing field. The new Isle of Dogs clip is light on plot, but big on personality and dog fights....

‘Jungle’ Trailer: It’s Daniel Radcliffe Versus Mother Nature By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 5, 2017 11:00 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Watch the Jungle trailer below. Entertainment Weekly debuted the trailer for the film from director Greg McLean (Wolf Creek, The Belko Experiment), and it basically looks like Daniel Radcliffe’s tropical nightmare version of The Revenant. Even crazier is that it’s all true, and despite the suspense and danger on display in the trailer, the man who really survived the elements says the limitations of the film’s production have a hard time capturing how truly terrifying this scenario was....

‘Mayans M.C.’ Trailer: Meet The New Prospect Of The ‘Sons Of Anarchy’ Spin-Off By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 19, 2018 10:39 am EST Get ready to ride with the boys again. FX has dropped the new Mayans MC trailer ahead of the Sons of Anarchy spin-off’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend. Mayans M.C. picks up right where Sons of Anarchy left off, following Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes (J.D. Pardo), a former golden boy turned ex-convict who becomes the newest prospect for the Mayans M....

Planet of the Apps Trailer I like this idea but the celebrity involvement kind of worries me a bit. What makes Shark Tank so great is the knowledge and reaction of the “sharks,” who for the most part consist of real venture capital investors. But Apple has decided to focus the direction more towards star appeal that might relate to a more real world audience. On the show, Appl developers pitch their idea in an “escalator pitch” (which cleverly borrows the elevator pitch format and places it on a real moving escalator platform) to a bunch of people including Will....

‘The LEGO Batman Movie’ Cast List Reveals Some Surprises By Jack Giroux/Feb. 3, 2017 3:00 pm EST Like The LEGO Movie, we should expect some cameos and surprises from The LEGO Batman Movie. A week before the animated film opens in theaters, a cast list has hit the net revealing a few participating actors previously unreported. There are more than a few well-known actors and (LEGO) characters namechecked. If you don’t mind ruining some surprises for yourself, then see who else is a part of The Lego Batman Movie cast below....
