When Netflix originally announced that it would be reviving Arrested Development for a fourth season, fans were ecstatic. The irreverent and off-beat comedy got screwed over by Fox and killed off long before it should have. While the show d...
I'm never going to subscribe to DC Universe. That's just a simple fact. I really do want to watch Doom Patrol, but not enough to pay for it and the rest of the content is even less enticing for me. That's why Batman's 80th birthday is going...
At some point during filming Captain Marvel, it appears Brie Larson leaned over to Samuel L. Jackson and said, "So I'm making this other movie..." And so we've got Unicorn Store, a film directed by Larson herself, and full of so...
Disney's acquisition of Fox may be happy for those who wanted to see the X-Men join up with the Avengers eventually but in reality, its actually two giant entertainment companies merging into one and that means there's going to be plen...
A few years ago we were all laughing our asses off with Jordan Peele on Key and Peele, but since the director hit us with the bombshell of perfectly-paced horror/social commentary that was Get Out the world has been salivating to see w...
The feature film follow-up to David Milch's Deadwood has certainly been a long time coming; here's an article from thirteen years ago if you want to laugh and try to remember where you were. (I was probably in school. Or eating candy. Or w...
Nostalgia-baiting is something I'm not too familiar with. I'm not fond of superheroes, and I wasn't alive in the 80's, so I figured myself to be pretty well nostalgia-proof when it comes to the film industry. I can't be manipulated. I can't...
Amazon is looking for a big tentpole show and in doing so they scooped up the rights to not one fantastical epic book series in Lord of the Rings, but also Stephen King's The Dark Tower. The plan was that the Idris Elba led film would kick ...
Johnny Cash’s impact on music is undeniable. With his stern voice and lyrics reflecting blue-collar life, Cash found a way to blend folk into country, country into pop, and pop into rock. The man felt as comfortable singing in&nb...
It can be a tricky thing to make a film violent. Is it going to be fun violence? You watch Raiders of the Lost Ark and oh my god that guy was chopped up by plane propellers! But it’s okay because 1. He’s a Nazi, 2. We don’...
The latest trailer for John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum (because this is a movie that needs such a hoity toity title) has dropped and shows off exactly the sort of absurd action you'd expect from a series that continues to spiral from the f...
It's official! The Disney-FOX merger is complete. The companies have formed together to make an entity possibly more powerful than Voltron. Well let's not go that far, but, hey, Marvel has now gotten back the rights to oh so many of their m...
Bring back the magic with today's contest for a Blu-ray copy of Disney's Mary Poppins Returns! For once, we're going to do a movie giveaway that isn't some weird, gross horror movie! Isn't that weird? It feels weird. I feel weird....
Bill and Ted Face The Music has officially begun production. The Hollywood Reporter broke the news today and revealed that the film has a targeted release date of August 21, 2020. The long-awaited sequel will see the return of Keanu Reeves ...
Being a filthy millennial, Ewoks are relegated to the past, largely seen as cynical additions to sell stuffed animals and foreshadow the Lucasing of the Star Wars. Most surprisingly, the Ewoks have appeared in four separate Star Wars p...
I had the opportunity to interview directors Waad al-Kateab and Edward Watts for their profoundly moving documentary For Sama at SXSW this year. Talking about the production process and deep humanity of the film, here’s what they had ...
Jordan Vogt-Roberts has shown that he can make a good monster movie with Kong: Skull Island and Michael B. Jordan has brought impassioned performances to movies that you wouldn't always expect that in so the announcement that the two are te...
Motion Pixels is a series of haphazard articles hoping to link the passions of gaming and films. Through recommendations, general chicanery, and, sometimes!, analysis our hope is to set you, dear reader, on a path of exploration you might n...
I think Nicolas Cage only makes weird movies now, and as a fan of only weird movies I couldn't be more thrilled. The man has an unbelievable ability to elevate anything thrown his way, and films like this are the perfect excuse for the Acad...
After months of teases, we have our first trailer for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, as we're reminded it to be the ninth movie by Hollywood juggernaut filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.
We knew that Christopher Nolan is making another film and that it is set to be released July 17, 2020, and that was pretty much it until two reports today from Variety and Collider landed. Know we know who may star in the film as the two le...
Book of Monsters is the first Kickstarter funded film I've seen. This one billed itself as the horror movie where YOU could choose the monsters -- a novel enough idea in which backers could choose from six categories: The monsters, a charac...
The second season of One Punch Man has been hotly anticipated for years now with fans certain that the four year wait worth be worth it. However, with only three weeks away until the premiere, all of that goodwill seems to be quickly erodi...
Well, we've got a plot now. The early teasers for Toy Story 4 didn't really let us get a feeling for what the movie was going to be about, but this first full trailer for the film definitely does, and its jam-packed full of what has m...
The 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan, a one-time actor of some repute, died on June 5, 2004. Not surprisingly, the event dominated the news cycle for some days afterward. It also cut short a story that out of Granby, ...
For whatever reason, this SXSW was my year of documentaries. Maybe it’s because I like the journalistic element of them, and maybe it’s because they’ve put on show histories, cultures and politics in a way that I’d n...
Strange Negotiations was a deeply personal and heartfelt documentary, an essay film exploring one man’s crisis of faith. Named after the eponymous album released by Christian/pop crossover band Pedro and the Lion in 2011, it centres o...
It’s been a fantastic year for movies at SXSW. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve eaten more queso than I care to see again in my lifetime, and, attending for the first time, I can’t adequately express how muc...
Netflix and Bear Grylls are teaming up to bring a new interactive show to the streaming juggernaut. Similar to last year's "Bandersnatch" film of Black Mirror, You Vs Wild will put viewers in control of Bear Grylls as he explores the wilds ...
According to a report from Collider, Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Dune has entered full production. Filming is taking place in Budapest, Hungary, and Jordan and everything seems to be set for release next year. The screenplay for Dune w...
It must be a pretty good time to be a James Gunn fan. Not only was he brought back by Disney to direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but Warner Bros. still has him on lock to write and direct the next Suicide Squad movie. Up until now, mo...
The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will be returning soon for what looks to be a super violent half-season. Falling in love with her dark powers, getting all sexy, and kicking ass at school, Sabrina is starting to become the famed witch th...
Netflix may be an extremely popular service for watching films, but the old guard of critics and film institutions haven't taken to it. With the company making a push into producing exclusive films, a lot of walls are starting to be erected...
DC finally has at least a couple movies that are actually fun and worth watching now, in two markedly different ways. Wonder Woman straight up rocked and is probably the best female-led superhero movie ever, while Aquaman was about the...
Body at Brighton Rock was one of the more interesting films I saw at SXSW in that it wasn't perfect but what it tried to do was too interesting not to watch. It has landed its first trailer, which actually reflects the film's tone and...
What is your life going to look like in the future? Who will you be close to, what will you do? I have a tough time picturing what I’m doing for dinner this week, let alone answering those questions. With Ash is Purest White, Chinese ...
Safe to say, we're all really excited for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood to come out so we can watch another Quentin Tarantino movie be awesome. We've been waiting long enough as it is, but now we at least have a poster and it has plent...
At some point in our lives, we’ve aspired to be our heroes. I can’t tell you how many times while playing backyard baseball I’d turn my hat backward and take a long, swooping swing a la Ken Griffey Jr. But no matter how ma...
These next two months might soon be looked back on as the moment that Disney took over all cinema and possibly the world. With Avengers: Endgame landing at the end of next month and Captain Marvel pulling in more than $760 million...
Maybe it’s in the name, but this is a dream of a film. To see a film completely sold out at the end of a festival is rare, but owing to its unique, funny, tenderness, Olympic Dreams was something truly special. Filmed on location at t...
