Warning: Finale spoilers are discussed below! I think we can all agree that HBO’s adaptation ofBig Little Liesended pretty perfectly. Seven economical episodes, great pacing, gorgeous scenery, a spectacular cast, and an emotionally fraught storyline made it one of the best miniseries of the year. As someone who hadn’t readyLiane Moriarty’s novel, the surprising ending of Bonnie being Perry’s killer (more or less) wrapped things up incredibly well. Bonnie, who had always been an object of the male gaze, turned the tables with some keen observation and a chance to save a group of women who had never shown her any love....

Yes, the franchise made an astronomical amount of money at the box office over the years, butBumblebeemarked Knight’s live-action debut and also a major pivot for the series, one with the potential to up the heart and win over those who fell out of favor with the films, myself included.

For decades,Kevin Baconhas enjoyed a fascinating career transformation beyond his “Six Degrees” meme. The once-baby-faced young actor who dazzled audiences with his impressive dance moves inFootloosetook a sharp turn to incredibly dark, often intense performances inSleepers,Death Sentence, andX-Men: First Class. Out of all the characters exploring the dark side of humanity he embodied on screen,Bacon’s role as a reformed child predator inThe Woodsmanwas the biggest swing in his career. TheLee Danielsproduction, based onSteven Fecher’s stage play, is treated as a multilayered character study of a man struggling to stay on the straight and narrow years after his conviction for heinous acts....
TheJustice Leaguetrailer that premiered at Comic-Conhad a humorous edge to it. The interactions betweenBen Affleck’s Bruce Wayne, Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) had a zip that neitherBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticenorSuicide Squadprovided, suggesting that DC maybe, just maybe, had learned their lesson afterBatman v Superman. Still, that’s just a trailer, and the proof will be in the puddin', to quoteMargot Robbie’s Harley Quinn. Meanwhile, Marvel has been openly playing with different tones and allowing for increasingly creative notes to sneak their way into their movies, especially with this year’s delightfully debauchedDeadpool....
The Mouse has spoken: all of the fans and franchise actors will say “SaveJames Gunn!” and Disney will look down and whisper “No.” More or less, anyway.

TheGuardians of the Galaxydirector was fired for a series of old, offensive Tweets that were surfaced by alt-right interests, and since then the director (who had candidly and openly spoken about those Tweets in the past) has seen a deluge of support both from fans and thosein the industry....

THRreports thatHalloweenlaunched with $7.7 million from Thursday night previews. That’s a near-record for a horror movie....
