This Legends of Tomorrow review contains spoilers.

This article contains Tenet spoilers. You can read our spoiler-free review here.

Notting Hill, the Richard Curtis-penned film about a “normal” British bloke (played by Paddington 2‘s Hugh Grant) who falls in love with the most famous actress in the world (Julia Roberts), became the highest-grossing British film of all time when it premiered in 1999.

Between Shadow and Bone‘s current status as one of the biggest TV shows

This Falcon and the Winter Soldier article contains spoilers.

The MonsterVerse lives! Not even a year ago it seemed likely that Godzilla vs. Kong would end up being the final bout in the series of movies that launched back in 2014 with Godzilla. But the surprisingly robust box office success of the titanic prize fight — $407 million at the worldwide box office and

People like to say Tom Clancy’s politics never left the 1980s. That’s probably true, but movies based on his work are firmly planted in the ‘90s. Beginning with John McTiernan’s crackling (if even then historically dated) The Hunt for Red October (1990), the decade was a boom era for technocratic spy thrillers. And at heart,

This article is presented by: Filming epic adventures is certainly nothing new to Josh Duhamel, having starred in four of the Transformers films and the Call of Duty: WWII video game.

Joel Kinnaman has been on a hot streak since 2016’s Suicide Squad. He’s become a stalwart sci-fi action leading man, headlining the Netflix adaptation of Altered Carbon, Amazon Prime’s Hanna, and most recently, winning raves as For All Mankind’s Edward Baldwin.

This Shadow and Bone article contains spoilers.

It was supposed to end like a movie. That was certainly one of the buzzwords used by producers of 2021’s Oscars telecast in the run-up to tonight’s Academy Awards. Other terms included “cinematic” and “joyful.” The broadcast began like an Ocean’s 11 movie, with producer Steven Soderbergh’s camera following Regina King to the Oscar stage.

To call any one of the Shadow and Bone cast members a “breakout” is difficult, given that this young cast of relative newcomers is so freaking talented across the ensemble.

For many anime fans, Jujutsu Kaisen shone as the highlight of the Fall 2020/Winter 2021 season. There are many possible reasons for this hype: The series delivered more sought-after supernatural action on the heels of 2019’s breakout hit Demon Slayer. Its darker approach both set Jujutsu Kaisen apart from its predecessor and offered a cathartic

This SHADOW AND BONE feature contains spoilers for Season 1.

The movie marks the true beginning of gangster movies as a genre. Mervyn LeRoy’s Little Caesar may have hit theaters first, but The

Warner Bros. and director Simon McQuoid pull off a daring, high-wire balancing act (above a pit of spikes, no less) with their big screen take on Mortal Kombat. That is to say, it’s incredibly difficult to make a good, entertaining movie that stands on its own while at the same time remains faithful to source

Netflix’s Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! is a new Black sitcom that has Jamie Foxx revisiting his comedy roots. “Executive produced by Jamie Foxx, his daughter Corinne Foxx, The Jamie Foxx Show creator Bentley Kyle Evans, and director Ken Whittingham, Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! is a multi-cam sitcom inspired by Jamie and Corinne’s father-daughter relationship.

As we eagerly anticipate the release of the latest Mortal Kombat movie, many find themselves looking back on Mortal Kombat’s 1995 big-screen debut.

Romero pioneered the form with the incisive, socially conscious Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, and since then we’ve seen an ever-growing menagerie of

A recent extended gameplay preview of Resident Evil Village strongly suggests that Lady Dimitrescu’s vampires and Heisenberg’s werewolves could sooner become the face of the franchise over the zombies that are so closely associated with the Resident Evil name.
