While there will undoubtedly be endless barbecues to enjoy in the coming months, there’s still time to relax indoors and catch some movies and TV shows. If you’ve been putting off certain titles available on Netflix, you might want to finally give them a whirl since another round of TV shows and movies leaving Netflix have been announced....

The New Pixar Short Will Be About A Dumpling That Comes To Life By Hoai-Tran Bui/March 28, 2018 1:30 pm EST There’s something magical about watching a Pixar short. You go into one without any clue what to expect except for something truly spectacular — whether it be a feat of technological prowess, a wacky creative experiment, or a peek into another culture. It sounds like the new Pixar short is a combination of all three....

VOTD: Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo & Lots Of Famous People Hilariously Implore You To Vote By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 22, 2016 6:30 am EST Famous people are used to shill for politicians all the time. But unlike making a decision on which soft drink, pizza or shoes you’re going to buy, choosing to vote is a much bigger deal. That’s why a new campaign called Save the Day has called upon an endless array of famous people to encourage you to vote....

VOTD: See Even More Of Wes Anderson’s Visual Influences & References By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 23, 2017 6:00 am EST In the same way that Quentin Tarantino remixes and reuses pieces from classic movies in his own modern movies, Wes Anderson takes inspiration and cues from the movies he grew up loving. A new video compares footage from Wes Anderson’s movies over the years and shows us various works that inspired them, not just films by Jacques Tati, Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick, but also paintings and illustrations as well....

VOTD: These Water-Powered ‘Star Wars’ Speeder Bikes Are The Real Deal By Ethan Anderton/Dec. 13, 2016 5:00 am EST While some of the technology that was once just the dream of sci-fi filmmakers has become real, most of what we’ve seen in the Star Wars universe is still just fantasy. Whether it’s ships that can travel at hyperspeed, lightsabers or space stations that can blow up entire planets, we just have to accept that some of these creations may never be real....

‘Ant-Man And The Wasp’ TV Spot: Michael Peña Is Ready To Help Catch A Ghost By Ethan Anderton/June 4, 2018 1:30 pm EST Avengers: Infinity War is still kicking around theaters, but with more and more summer blockbusters arriving every week, it’s not going to stick around too much longer. But the good news is that our next dose of action from the Marvel Cinematic Universe is only a month away....

By Jacob Hall/May 22, 2017 12:00 pm EST Black Mirror season 3 was one of my favorite things I watched in 2016 and Netflix is the perfect home for a show so unsettling that you can’t look away (or take breaks between episodes). While the big-hearted and romantic “San Junipero” was the best episode of the entire series so far, it sounds like season 4 will once again deliver the show’s trademark pessimistic outlook on the near future....

‘Mission: Impossible 6’ Reveals Its Title And Tom Cruise’s Latest Crazy Stunt By Hoai-Tran Bui/Jan. 25, 2018 7:00 am EST As the missions become more impossible, the Mission: Impossible titles become more dire. The numbers have long given way to formidable, frustratingly vague titles like Ghost Protocol, and Rogue Nation. Now, the title for Mission: Impossible 6 has been revealed along with — what else? — a picture of Tom Cruise dangling from a helicopter....

‘Operation Finale’ Trailer: Oscar Isaac Hunts Nazis By Chris Evangelista/July 26, 2018 6:00 pm EST A tense, and final, Operation Finale trailer presents the true story of the Mossad’s hunt for, and capture of, Nazi officer Adolf Eichmann. Oscar Isaac and Ben Kingsley star, and based on this trailer, both of them are acting their heads off, to the point that it might end up giving you anxiety. Watch the Operation Finale trailer below....

‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Trailer: Tom Holland Swings Back Into Action By Jacob Hall/March 28, 2017 6:04 am EST In the tangled web that is modern superhero movie rights, it’s appropriate that the spider-themed comic book hero has found a way to navigate it all. Spider-Man: Homecoming represents a grand compromise between Marvel Studios and Sony: the latter still owns the character, but he’s allowed to exist in the universe built by the former....

‘Suicide Squad’ Honest Trailer: The Movie That Honest Trailers Itself By Angie Han/Dec. 6, 2016 2:40 pm EST There was a time when it looked like Suicide Squad could be the movie to get Warner Bros.’ DC franchise back on track, following the disappointing reception to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice a few months earlier. As we all know now, though, things didn’t exactly work out that way. Instead, we were left with a maddeningly sloppy (if intermittently entertaining) mess that did nothing to counter the suspicion that Warner Bros....

‘Terminator 2’ 3D Re-Release Confirmed For Late Summer Debut By Ethan Anderton/March 3, 2017 4:00 pm EST We’ve been hearing about a Terminator 2: Judgment Day re-release in 3D since December of 2015. Last year came word that the 3D conversion of James Cameron’s sci-fi action sequel would arrive this year, and now here we are with confirmation of exactly when you can have T-1000 fly at your face without being at an ancient Universal Studios attraction....

‘The Last Jedi’ Runtime Feels Like ‘The Godfather’, Says Mark Hamill By Chris Evangelista/Dec. 2, 2017 10:00 am EST Star Wars: The Last Jedi is set to be the longest Star Wars film in the franchise’s history. That may make some of you groan inwardly while already feeling your rear end falling asleep at the prospect, but worry not: Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, says the protracted runtime isn’t an issue....

‘The Last Of Us’ Screenwriter Doesn’t Want His Movie To Be Made By Ben Pearson/Feb. 26, 2018 3:30 pm EST If you talk to any screenwriter, they’ll tell you they have tons of scripts sitting in a drawer somewhere gathering dust. Writing a movie can be the easy part – actually getting it made is often far more challenging. So it’s relatively rare to hear of someone writing a screenplay and actively not wanting that script to ever see the light of day, but that’s exactly what’s happening with Neil Druckmann and his The Last of Us movie....

‘The Mule’: Bradley Cooper And Clint Eastwood Could Reunite By Ben Pearson/May 20, 2018 12:00 pm EST Clint Eastwood hasn’t acted in a movie since his turn in the 2012 baseball drama Trouble with the Curve, but it appears that the 87-year-old is getting back in front of the camera again soon. He’s set to direct and star in a drug thriller called The Mule, and his American Sniper star Bradley Cooper is in talks to share the screen with him....

Unsane Trailer Sawyer Valentini relocates from Boston to Pennsylvania to escape from the man who’s been stalking her for the last two years. While consulting with a therapist, Valentini unwittingly signs in for a voluntary 24-hour commitment to the Highland Creek Behavioral Center. Her stay at the facility soon gets extended when doctors and nurses begin to question her sanity. Sawyer now believes that one of the staffers is her stalker — and she’ll do whatever it takes to stay alive and fight her way out....

By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 15, 2017 11:30 am EST With so many superhero movies hitting the big screen every single year, we’re getting to the point that studios need to start differentiating them more from one another. They’re not all having the same success that Marvel is having with each of their movies, which have become foolproof against the repetitive nature of those kinds of complaints lately, for better or worse. If Logan turns out to be a gamble that pays off for Fox, much like Deadpool, I hope it means that studios start taking more risks with these properties to deliver superhero movies that are outside of the blockbuster mold we’ve seen so many times before....
