In its seventh season,Adam Reed’sArcherhas settled into a level of confidence that very few programs, let alone an animated series, are capable of in modern television. EvenFamily Guy, with its increasingly bitter and shallowly righteous humor, has yet to find a steadiness in character, tone, or story to back up its audacious jokes.Archer, in comparison, has continually returned to characters that, though often deplorable, have dimensions and cultural opinions that are built up and explored thoroughly through a variety of tics and obsessions....

It’s my pleasure to share with you today an exclusiveBirdboy: The Forgotten Childrenclip. The upcoming animated release from GKIDS captures the dark coming-of-age tale laid out in the pages ofAlberto Vázquez’s “Psiconautas” comic and brings the story to life in a visually striking way. Vázquez co-directed this 2015 award-winning film alongside co-writer/co-directorPedro Rivero, and now GKIDS is bringing it Stateside for a big-screen release. The feature-length film follows up on the 2011 animated shortBirdboyfrom the writing/directing duo and centers on a group of friends attempting to find a better life after a disaster ruins the world as they know it....

Black Panther 2is officially happening, and Marvel Studios presidentKevin Feigetook the stage at D23 earlier today to announce the film’s release date: August 24, 2025. Joining Feige onstage wasBlack Pantherwriter/directorRyan Coogler, who is returning to write and direct the sequel. Feige revealed that Coogler has delivered a treatment for the sequel, but it appears we’ve still got a long way to go until the film rolls cameras. Indeed, Coogler is also currently busy producingSpace Jam 2so this gives him a bit of time, butBlack Panther 2is certainly a priority for Marvel as the first film not only outgrossedAvengers: Infinity Warat the box office but scored a trio of Oscar wins along with a Best Picture nomination....

From Dusk Till Dawn, Quentin Tarantino AlthoughQuentin Tarantinodidn’t direct this gory vampire flick, he wrote the script and co-starred in it (alongsideGeorge Clooney, at the beginning of his movie career). A tribute to B-movie horror films,From Dusk Till Dawn,would later become a cult classic and its status was cemented by Tarantino and directorRobert Rodriguez’s 2007 follow-up,Grindhouse. But at the time, the critics hatedFrom Dusk Till Dawn. TheNew York Timescalled it “sophomoric,” theWashington Postsaid it was a “monument to its own lack of imagination” and theHollywood Reportercalled it “trash....

There’s no doubt thatElfis a modern Christmas classic. The story ofWill Ferell’s Buddy the Elf journeying to the concrete jungle in search of his biological father is one brimming with side-splitting fun and plenty of heart, with millions tuning in like clockwork each winter to see the chaos unfold once again.The holidays seem to be coming earlier each year, with the streamers representing that by advertising their biggest yuletide hits as soon as Halloween shuts its evil eyes....

Spike Lee, when he’s in the zone, is never boring. I’d rather Lee make a million uneven, ambitious works likeDa 5 Bloodsthan whatever he was doing with the remake ofOldboy. While his latest feature isn’t as tightly crafted as his Oscar-winningBlacKkKlansman, Lee continues to show he’s one of America’s most necessary filmmakers as he turns his attention to the paradox of African-Americans fighting for a country that has betrayed them at every turn....

All the way back in 2017, Disney invited Collider and a few other journalists to the U.K. set of its live-actionDumboremake to see what a flying elephant directed byTim Burtonwould look like. To the surprise of no one, Burton and a soaring pachyderm plus massive circus sets plusDanny DeVitowearing yetanothertop hat results in something so fantastical you could overdose on all that whimsy. Folks, if nothing else, this is gonna' be a delightful film....

Michelle Rodriguezdoesn’t take any shit, and she has used her clout to put her stamp on the future of theFast & Furiousfranchise.In June 2017, we reported that Rodriguez was considering an exit from the franchise if the female characters didn’t get a larger role. It’s not an unfair criticism! While Rodriguez’ Letty has been a good character and there have been other assorted good female roles, they typically take a backseat to the men of the series, which is a little ridiculous after nine films....

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersthrough the Season 2 finale ofFor All Mankind, “The Grey."] The fun thing aboutFor All Mankindis that each season finale makes it explicitly clear how much more story there is to be told. Season 2 ends with a great leap for the show into “the future,” specifically the year 1994, where some things in this alternate universe haven’t changed (like Nirvana’s plaintive jam “Come As You Are”) but some things have (like the fact that there’s a man, or woman, walking around on Mars)....

Gods of Egypt, the new fantasy adventure film from directorAlex Proyas, is making quite a name for itself across the ‘net as of late. First, we were treated to the incredibly colorful and psychedeliccharacter postersfeaturingGerard Butler,Nikolaj Coster-Waldau,Brenton Thwaits,Chadwick BosemanandElodie Yung. Then the real magic happened when thefirst trailer dropped, a trailer chock full of Egyptian gods battling each other in computer-generated armor alongside eye-stealing thieves and giant fire-breathing snakes. Despite all the on-screen insanity and modern visual effects, there was something familiar aboutGods of Egypt....
