‘Gladiator’ Honest Trailer: The Most Well-Executed Pro Wrestling Story Of All Time By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 17, 2016 5:00 am EST This weekend brings the sword and sandal epic Ben-Hur to theaters, a new telling of the classic novel by Lew Wallace that was already turned into a movie back in 1959. Therefore, the folks over at Screen Junkies thought it would be appropriate to skewer one of the most successful sword and sandal epics of the past 20 years with an Honest Trailer....

‘It’ Eyeing A $50 Million Box Office Debut Because Everyone Loves Creepy Clowns By Jack Giroux/Aug. 18, 2017 1:00 pm EST The next Stephen King adaptation is on track to fare a whole lot better at the box-office than The Dark Tower. While the tale of the gunslinger, the man in black, and some kid floundered at the box office, the story of the Losers’ Club trying to survive in Derry, Maine is both a cheaper production and has generated far more advance buzz....

If instead of Episodes I-III, we got Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, there would be a lot fewer adults disenchanted with the world of Star Wars today (not that the franchise is currently wanting for fans)....

Rowling has a magic touch when it comes to getting her work adapted to film or TV — even if it wasn’t under her name.

‘True Detective’ Season 3 Is Back From The Dead With David Milch On The Squad By Jacob Hall/March 27, 2017 1:00 pm EST Like a decades-old murder case where the deranged killer was never caught, HBO’s True Detective won’t stay buried. While the show has been on indefinite hiatus since the end of its deeply unpopular second season, it sounds like the once-beloved anthology mystery show may be lurching back into life with the help of a television veteran responsible for some of the greatest shows of all time....

‘War Dogs’ Almost Starred Shia LaBeouf And Jesse Eisenberg By Jack Giroux/Aug. 19, 2016 5:30 am EST Todd Phillips’ War Dogs might become one of the summer’s few pleasant surprises. Critics are somewhat mixed on the film, but the reviews are far more positive than what we read for The Hangover sequels, and they’re about on par with the reviews for Phillips’ Old School, Starsky & Hutch, and Road Trip, his more well-liked movies....

Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s Cannes VR Project Sounds Incredible By Ben Pearson/May 18, 2017 4:00 pm EST We’ve covered a handful of VR experiences here on the site, but I’ve never heard of anything quite like the new virtual reality project that Birdman and The Revenant director Alejandro G. Iñárritu has cooked up. It’s called Carne y Arena, and it’s the first VR installation to screen in the official selection of the Cannes Film Festival....

By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 1, 2016 6:00 am EST Now that it’s December, there’s no better time to get Gremlins out for a little holiday viewing. It’s not usually a big part of the array of holiday movies that hit TV like A Christmas Story, Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and so on, but it’s an outstanding Christmas movie for those who don’t need all the faux holiday cheer and would rather see little monsters wreak havoc on a small town....
