There’s been a backlash recently against binge watching TV shows and the loss of the episode, as streaming platforms allow us to consume television as a deluge. One of the best things to happen to popcorn TV, though, is that opportunity to watch episodes back to back, a formula which can cover up a multitude of sins as we get engrossed in the story. But the FX seriesFargo, now in its third season, is a great example of an anti-binge watch....
Last week, a newWonder Womantrailer was reportedlyclassified, and areporta few days later alleged the preview will play beforeDoctor Strangein theaters beginning Friday, November 4. The chatter has turned out to be true: starGal Gadotrevealed a teaser for the trailer that’s hitting the Web tomorrow. Sadly, the teaser doesn’t hold any new footage and instead focuses on some snippets from the previous reveal: Wonder Woman sliding across the floor in a battle against World War II soldiers, an Amazon archer leaping into the air with her bow in hand, and theHans Zimmer- andJunkie XL-composed anthem that played over the character’s debut inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but still!...
It’s not easy being Queen. In this past Sunday’sGame of Thrones, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) continued to find politics in the North tougher than expected. Dany had some interesting, unspoken moments in the episode, like when Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) both left the hall before their Queen had exited the room, when Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen) greeted the queen, but then quickly addressed Sansa asking to fight for Winterfell, and of course during Sansa and Dany’s interrupted clear-the-air chat....
In uncertain times, it’s nice to see a familiar face — albeit one who guided us through another series of uncertain times. After years away from producing regular, topical television content,Jon Stewartis back in familiar territory, but with a twist. His run hostingThe Daily Showwas iconic, influential, and defining for all who lived during the George W. Bush era. Now, with a new set of folks running our government, and an unfortunately familiar set of social issues, Stewart will be giving usThe Problem with Jon Stewart, a title that promises a sobering look at our nation’s greatest problems while also offering that self-deprecating streak we love Stewart for....
Superhero cinema has come a long way, baby. And if there’s two dudes who would know all about it, it’sHugh JackmanandWillem Dafoe, a pair of performers who jumped on the comic book bandwagon its early days of 21st Century box office dominance – and who are still engaging with the genre to this day. Jackman, of course, has spent the last seventeen years in the role of Wolverine throughout Fox’s X-Men universe, beginning withX-Menin 2000 culminating in this year’s stunning send-off,Logan....
Yes,Hugh Jackmanhas heardthe Mouse House is zeroing in on 20th Century Fox purchase. No, it still doesn’t look like a Wolverine return is in the cards for him, based on his most recent comments. During a New York press junket forThe Greatest Showman, in which Jackman plays P.T. Barnum of Barnum & Bailey Circus, the newly retired X-Men actor gave his thoughts about Disney potentially buying up assets of Fox, which would effectively put all the characters of mutant-kind and the Fantastic Four under the same studio umbrella as the Avengers movies....
What is the scariest type of horror story? Is it demon-possession flicks that include projectile vomiting and 360-degree head turns? Is it a poltergeist picture that highlights the dark history of one’s childhood home? Maybe a creature feature that rips your greatest fears from beneath the earth itself? In its impressive 15 seasons,Supernaturaltackled each of these concepts head-on, with varying degrees of success. Butthere’s one type of horror that stands above the rest as one of the scariest takes on the genre: human horrors....

Although it was released 68 years ago,Stanley Kubrick’sPaths of Glorystill has the power to shock and unsettle us. Produced by and starringKirk Douglas, it’s a stunning portrait of trench warfare, featuring a battle sequence that ranks alongsidethe D-Day invasion inSaving Private Ryanfor raw, visceral intensity. Yetits real power lies in its depiction of the military’s stringent legal system,which led to it being banned in several countries for decades. These decisions were ultimately reversed, yet the film hasn’t lost any ofits razor-sharp critiqueof a system that prioritizes empty displays of strength over actual acts of valor....
