The pieces are starting to fall into place for Netflix's The Witcher adaptation. Today it was announced that Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra will portray the roles of Ciri and Yennefer respectively. This comes after it was announced a few w...
Garth Ennis is the best thing that ever came out of the terrible period of comics known as the 90's. There I said it. Yes, there are a few other merits from that decade but Ennis and his writing just embodies so much of the 90's while stil...
Netflix isn't messing around anymore. This awards season they are really trying to shove their success into the faces of the Academy by bringing festival darlings to their platform. The first film from Tamara Jenkins in over a decade, Priva...
DC writers have seemingly been listening to all of the feedback and backlash from their attempts at making a cinematic universe and "mature" TV shows. In the span of less than a minute, Harley Quinn (Big Bang Theory's Kayley Cuoco) and P...
As a lifelong Jersey boy, I have immense pride in my Italian-American heritage. Sure everyone thinks that we're all mobsters who only wear tracksuits and love our mothers to an almost Oedipal level, but there's something so great about t...
Subscription services have been growing in customer reach and quality over the past five years, with the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime bringing great content as well as HBO offering their programming as a standalone service. These sh...
You really have to admire DC's commitment. They shoved a cinematic universe down our throats whether we wanted it or not, they are making no less than four new movies with the Joker in it, and now they are pushing their streaming service ...
Netflix is really trying to get themselves to point where they don't need to rely on licensing agreements for their base product, going so far as to finish famed director Orson Welles' final film for their platform. Now after 40 years in pr...

It's been a long nine months since I reported on the upcoming Blu-Ray release of Batman: The Animated Series and ever since then, news about the release has been kinda hush-hush. Yesterday the full details were revealed and let's just say ...
It's hard to admit that something you love is not good, it's an admittance that your beliefs are at the very least misguided, and at worst dead wrong. Seeing as how we are all well-rounded individuals here at Flixist, we are not afraid to t...
It's the middle of summer, everyone is on vacation, Matt included which is why you get my hideous face doing the box office recap. With most of the major summer blockbusters behind us, we are now in that weird part summer where studios r...
I am a staunch defender of the 2014 Godzilla soft-sequel-reboot as a worthy member of the Godzilla family. Sure it wasn't great but for a westernized adaptation of a purely Japanese creation it held onto some of the more subtle themes, su...
Despite the fact that filming on Shazam! wrapped up on May 11th in Toronto, we haven't been able to actually get a good look at anything from the set or any type of promotional materials outside of dodgy fan photos. Thankfully today the fir...
For years Disney has been known for their elaborate attractions and stage shows that run every day at their theme parks. From the mundane such as Pirates of the Caribbean to the explosive Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, these attra...
The lead up to a new Quentin Tarantino movie is almost as much as a spectacle as the movie itself, what with the rumors and the controversy, and the slobbering over any new information. Well beware in the front row you might get a lit...
Rejoice or weep Star Wars fans, Solo: A Star Wars Story's poor performance might have just thrown a wrench into Disney's plans to milk the Star Wars saga like an aging Bantha. Going off of a report from a Collider source, there is word th...
I don't know why the marketing run for How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World seems so slow to me but for some reason, it feels like we've been waiting on this trailer for ages. But it's here now and that's all that matters right? Ta...
Locke and Key is one of the darlings of the comic horror scene, for as long as I have been into comics people have always suggested that I read it because it's so well written. Unfortunately, I am poor and can't afford every book and my lib...
A tweet from the trusted and fan vetted @TheOneRingNet yesterday revealed that they had discovered through multiple sources that the upcoming Amazon Lord of the Rings series first season would focus on Aragorn before the events of the Fello...

To really drive home that God-less feeling that The Witch so beautifully expounded, Funko Pop is going to be releasing a Black Phillip figure this coming July. Breathe it in ye sinners.
Putting a direct to video grindhouse-esque movie up for review is a bit of a conundrum because you know what you are getting into when you press play, and it's not going to be "good" per se. But what happens when the movie is so bad that it...
Responding to rumors about whether or not Bad Robot's newest movie Overlord will be based in the Cloverfield universe, J.J. Abrams confirmed that it will not be and that a proper Cloverfield sequel is being developed for theaters.Taking pla...
It's been 16 years since Broken Lizard exploded onto the scene with their stoner-comedy Super Troopers. Ever since then, they have had ups and downs in terms of their movies but for the most part, their comedy has always tickled me in jus...
After languishing around for almost a decade, the popular comic Y: The Last Man might finally be getting the adaptation that has eluded it for years. On Thursday FX placed an order for a pilot based off of the popular comic by Brian K. Vaug...
Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Ernest Cline's novel Ready Player One came out this past week. Despite Matt's review, the movie is doing quite well at the box office, so it's no surprise that studios are going to be clamoring over all of E...
Crisis of faith movies are a bit of a common thing in cinema, so initially when I saw that Ethan Hawke was going to play a reverend coming to grips with his beliefs I was ready to write it off, but then when I saw that Paul Schrader was wri...
After a bit of a lull, stop motion animation has been making a comeback of sorts in American cinema in recent years with releases like Anomalisa and Kubo and the Two Strings. Following in those movies footsteps and The Fantastic Mr. Fo...
I may be chugging along through my fourth decade alive, but that doesn't stop me from giving names and voices to the many stuffed animals my significant other and myself have accumulated over the years. It seems that somewhere along the way...
It seems that in recent years there has been an uptick in the amount of manga based stories getting live-action treatments. Some of them good, some not so good, some really bad. So it's no surprise that the show that was voted as the most ...
News surrounding Preachers third season has been pretty sparse, they very quietly announced the season renewal at the end of season two and without much hoopla went into production again with a tentative release date of later this year. Thi...
In anticipation of its release in less than a month, the team behind Eli Roth's Death Wish released a new red band trailer in the style of grindhouse movies that have played an integral role in Roth's love of movies. The style while seeming...
If you were to ask me years ago what I thought about modern day science fiction movies I could have gone on at length about how the genre that once made us look in on ourselves and think about who we are as a person had given up on telli...
[Ed. Note: We do awards a bit different at Flixist. Most of our writers do not get early screenings or award screeners of movies, which means it isn't easy to see some of the films that only get limited releases in December for many o...
I told y'all we needed more Fred Rogers in our life and thanks to TriStar Pictures we are going to get it! Today it was announced that Tom Hanks had been cast in the upcoming biopic about Fred Roger's titled You Are My Friend. Based on the ...
Awards season continues this week with the nominations for the 38th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards. Contrary to every other award show of the year, seeing your name on the list isn't particularly gratifying. The Razzies have come to represe...
The original Super Troopers remains one of my favorite comedies of all time. It strikes a perfect chord of raunchy, slapstick, and joke-driven comedy that still makes me laugh until I hurt even after watching it multiple times over the y...
I think it's fair for me to say that the world is filled with vitriol and animosity right now. Everywhere you look there are people angry about everything, politics, celebrities, social media, video games, a well made but somewhat flawed...
When I saw the title Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot, I was imagining a home break-in movie with someone getting their legs broken at the onset and the rest of the movie being based on some guy with broken legs trying to g...
