‘Sicario: Day Of The Soldado’ Review: A Stunning Benicio Del Toro Can’t Save This Half-Baked Sequel By Karen Han/June 28, 2018 8:00 am EST If the film (directed by Stefano Sollima) were a straightforward Western, it might work, but Sicario is a franchise (though it most certainly doesn’t need to be, but more on that later) that’s inextricably linked to the U.S. War on Drugs, fear-mongering, and, in this latest installment, issues of immigration....

‘The Cloverfield Paradox’ Drew Five Million Netflix Viewers In Its First Seven Days By Hoai-Tran Bui/Feb. 16, 2018 8:30 am EST The Cloverfield Paradox reportedly drew in five million viewers in its first week after the surprise Netflix release of the science-fiction sequel. That’s light years away from Netflix’s biggest success yet, Bright, which garnered 11 million U.S. viewers in its first three days of release. Nielsen data estimates that The Cloverfield Paradox pulled in 2....

The Favourite Trailer Lanthimos, whose career has rapidly been rising since he earned an Oscar nod for the screenplay for his first English-language feature The Lobster, has managed to infuse his signature grotesque style into the period drama with The Favourite. The 18th century drama follows the mentally unstable Queen Anne (Colman) and her royal court, who scramble to appease her fickle demands. At Queen Anne’s right hand is her scheming close friend Lady Sarah (Weisz), whose position is suddenly threatened by the arrival of a charming and beautiful new servant (Stone), who quickly rises through the ranks to become Queen Anne’s new favorite....

‘The Lego Batman Movie’ Trailer: Move Over, Batfleck, There’s A New Dark Knight In Town By Angie Han/Nov. 4, 2016 8:06 am EST Ben Affleck’s Batman will be back onscreen next year for Justice League, but before we get there we’ll see a completely different version of the Dark Knight, in the form of a tiny plastic minifig voiced by Will Arnett. Yup, we’re just a few months away from the release of The Lego Batman Movie, which picks back up with the endearingly obnoxious take on the character first introduced in 2014’s The Lego Movie....

‘Tomb Raider’ Trailer: Alicia Vikander Is A Survivor By Chris Evangelista/Jan. 18, 2018 9:38 am EST The hit video game series Tomb Raider comes to the big screen, again, with a brand new Tomb Raider trailer.

‘War For The Planet Of The Apes’ Clip: Bad Ape Isn’t A Fan Of Being In Danger By Ethan Anderton/July 12, 2017 4:30 pm EST Watch the War for the Planet of the Apes clip below. If you’re not sure what’s happening in this clip, that’s probably for the best. The reason Bad Ape and Maurice are underground with their young human counterpart Nova is probably best left secret until you see the movie for yourself....

2018 Oscars Promo: This Time, Jimmy Kimmel Is Getting The Names Right By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 23, 2018 4:30 pm EST It’s a scene that will play over and over in many cinephiles’ heads whenever they think of the Oscars: the ecstatic faces of the La La Land team transforming into confused shock, the star-studded audience’s jaws dropping, those fateful words: “There’s a mistake. Moonlight, you guys won Best Picture.” But instead of our bemused glee, 2017 Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel only remembers it with abject horror....

Bigger CW Crossover Expected For DC Shows Next Season By Jack Giroux/Feb. 27, 2017 4:00 pm EST Last year there was a crossover between Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, The Flash, and Arrow. The crossover event, titled “Invasion!”, began with Supergirl and ended with Legends of Tomorrow, with The Flash and Arrow nice and comfy around the middle. The heroes teamed up to defeat the Dominators, but little of the action was featured in Supergirl, so it wasn’t the huge four-way crossover some fans were anticipating....

Cool Stuff: Mondo’s ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ Apparel Line Has Become Operational By Ethan Anderton/April 5, 2017 5:30 am EST There are plenty of clothing lines celebrating the biggest franchises in cinema today, from Star Wars to the Marvel Cinematic Universe to anything and everything related to LEGO. But the works of Stanley Kubrick don’t often get much in the vein of cool merchandise for cinephiles to show their love for the legendary filmmaker....

Kevin Smith Offers An Update On Horror Film ‘Moose Jaws’ By Chris Evangelista/June 5, 2018 4:00 pm EST Remember Moose Jaws? Kevin Smith’s never-made third entry in his True North trilogy? The project seemed to be dead, but Smith has offered a new update that indicates Moose Jaws might become a reality. Kevin Smith started his True North trilogy back in 2014 with the horror-comedy Tusk. I didn’t care for it, but some people seemed to dig it....

Our favorite superpowered bro is back, with an all-new set of images on top of the ones that just debuted earlier today.

New ‘John Wick: Chapter 2’ Photo Is A ‘Matrix’ Reunion By Angie Han/Dec. 27, 2016 12:30 pm EST There are many, many reasons to look forward to John Wick: Chapter 2, but one is the fact that it’ll be a The Matrix reunion in miniature. As we reported last year, Laurence Fishburne has joined Keanu Reeves in the action sequel — which is being directed by Chad Stahelski, a stuntman and stunt coordinator on the Matrix trilogy....

New ‘Terminator’ Movie Coming From James Cameron And ‘Deadpool’ Director Tim Miller By Jacob Hall/Jan. 20, 2017 6:30 pm EST Depending on who you ask, the sequel to Terminator: Genisys either died over a year ago or it has just been on life support as everyone involved assessed whether or not it was time to pull the plug. But let’s face the facts: it’s not a good look when even the young stars of your newly rebooted series think it’s time to let go....

Pokémon Movie ‘Detective Pikachu’ Casts Justice Smith By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 17, 2017 2:30 pm EST Detective Pikachu, a real movie that’s really being made, just cast its lead. Justice Smith, who appeared in the Netflix series The Get Down, has just joined the cast of the upcoming Pokémon movie. I’m assuming he’s not playing Pikachu, but rather the human character who assists the intrepid monster detective on his quest to solve mysteries....

Superhero Bits: Alternate Steppenwolf Designs, Riz Ahmed’s Venom Role & More By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 28, 2017 5:00 pm EST What famous comedian helped convince Hugh Jackman that it was time to retire as Wolverine? What will Justice League’s final box office total actually be? Who does Wesley Snipes think should be the next Blade? Who is Riz Ahmed playing in Venom? Who is Mad Max: Fury Road star Riley Keough interested in playing in the DC Extended Universe?...

Superhero Bits: ROM Spaceknight Movie, Grandmaster’s Skin, Guardians Of The Galaxy 2 Cameo Cut & More By Ethan Anderton/April 20, 2017 5:00 pm EST What’s the latest twist in the ongoing, controversial Captain America saga in Marvel Comics? Why isn’t James Gunn interested in making a ROM: Spaceknight movie? Want to see a cameo Nathan Fillion made in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 that was cut from the movie? Why isn’t Jeff Goldblum’s version of Grandmaster blue like he is in the comics?...

Is The Nebula Capsule Projector Worth It? I got the Nebula Capsule a few weeks ago and have used it several times per week since. In general, the projector lives up to its promise. It really does provide a decent projector experience contained in a small, light unit. The major apps are all present and accounted for and they mostly work, although some functionality is disabled (e.g. you can’t log into your YouTube account, but you can view trending videos and search for specific ones)....

Video: Plenty Of Joker Scenes Were Still Left Out Of The ‘Suicide Squad’ Extended Cut By Angie Han/Nov. 22, 2016 1:30 pm EST The Suicide Squad extended cut hit VOD last week, with 13 extra minutes of footage for those who left the theater longing for more. However, those yearning for more Joker specifically may still feel cheated. Although both Jared Leto and David Ayer have confirmed a lot of the Joker’s scenes were left on the cutting room floor, it seems only a fraction of that material made it back into the extended edition....
