By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 7, 2017 7:19 pm EST Watch the Jack Ryan series trailer below and see what you think. There’s not much action to be found just yet, but this is a teaser trailer after all. Plus, we have to remember that before Jack Ryan gets caught up in this terrorist plot overseas, he’s nothing more than a CIA analyst, the kind of employee who isn’t meant to draw his gun and proves to be much more effective behind a desk at a computer than staring down the sight of a firearm....

‘Jurassic World 2’ Will Have A Political Element By Angie Han/Dec. 12, 2016 2:00 pm EST The Jurassic Park movies may be pure fiction, but it’s not hard to see how its lessons might apply to real life.

‘Narcos’ Season 3 Trailer: Introducing A New Public Enemy Number One By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 3, 2017 10:30 am EST Narcos is one of my favorite Netflix original series, but with (spoilers for real life, and thus the show) the fall of Pablo Escobar at the end of season 2, the series must move on to a new storyline. I’ve been skeptical that the Cali Cartel would provide as compelling a story as the two season Escobar arc, but a new trailer shows a lot of promise....
