I am not typically scared of Ben Affleck, math, or sunny-side up eggs but all three of those things made me fear for my life during the teaser trailer for the upcoming thriller The Accountant. The two-minute spot is heavy on Radiohead and light on plot details, so here’s the synopsis, as reported by Deadline:
Lupita Nyong’o will likely land a lead role alongside Chadwick Boseman in Marvel’s first black superhero movie, Black Panther.
Keanu is a movie about a couple of black dudes who try to save a kitten by pretending to be drug dealers. But is it supposed to be funny because the black guy really loves his kitten? Is it about the kitten loving him back? Is the joke about not being black enough? Not being tough enough?
Get ready for like six prolonged close-ups of pointe shoes and bleeding feet, because the dance gods have blessed us with another Center Stage (which, let’s be real, aggressively holds up in 2016).
Ryan Murphy has another anthology series in the works at FX. It’s called Feud, and it’s about feuds, and the first season will be dedicated to the feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, who will be played by Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange, respectively.
In an interview with The Guardian, Seth Rogen talked about his recent realization that some jokes in his films, including Superbad—and, now that you mention it, yes, even his recent movies—are “blatantly homophobic.”
There is a predictable kind of response generated from news that a beloved movie from a generation’s childhood will soon be receiving a long-awaited sequel or reboot—a deafening argument about nostalgia that puts excitement (“FINALLY!”), anger (“YOU’RE RUINING MY CHILDHOOD!), and annoyance (“CAN’T HOLLYWOOD THINK OF…
Netflix and the BBC are teaming up for a new adaptation of Richard Adams’ Watership Down, which is about a bunch of displaced rabbits looking for a new home, but is much, much stranger than that description makes it sound. The cast includes James McAvoy, John Boyega, Nicholas Hoult, and others.
An official Whitney Houston documentary is in the works under the same umbrella as last year’s popular Amy Winehouse film, Amy.
Purple Rain, Prince’s vaguely-autobiographical, 1984 film might be a bit of a mess, but it’s a delightful one, replete with ruffled shirts, over-the-top proclamations of desire, and a wildly buffoonish villain. And now it’s returning to theaters this month as a tribute to the late superstar.
Here is the second season trailer for HBO’s Ballers and you know what? Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson keeps his shirt on the entire one minute and eleven seconds, yet I still want to watch. Who said women who don’t care about (most) sports don’t watch sports shows?
When I wrote about the kittens that did amazing stunts for Key and Peele’s Keanu movie, I didn’t think things could get any more disgustingly cute.
A comedy titled Women in Business is in the works starring Kate McKinnon, Emma Stone and Jillian Bell. It’s about women in business.
Cynthia Mort’s contentious Nina Simone biopic hits theaters today with a limited release and via Video On Demand, nearly three and a half years after it began filming.
Two Uber-related movies are currently in development, one starring Will Ferrell. Will one of them be our modern-day Taxi Driver?
Ladies and the men who love us, it’s Friday, so start your weekend by watching the trailer for No Men Beyond This Point, a Canadian mockumentary about a world where men are nearly extinct and mostly in hiding or living in convalescent homes aging out—until they begin to fight back.
Fox Searchlight has released the trailer for the highly-anticipated Nate Parker vehicle, The Birth of a Nation, which set a record at the Sundance Film Festival when it was sold for $17.5 million.
Film criticism isn’t the same as it used to be in terms of influence (i.e. the era of Roger & Ebert), but reviews still have the power to sway the masses. After analyzing a chunk of data and box office numbers, Metacritic determined that reviews have a measurable impact on how well a movie does at the box office.
Twenty years ago today, Fear entered theaters and scared the living daylights out of parents and teens everywhere. Despite having the plot of a bad Lifetime movie, its solid performances and handsome production (the kind plenty of undeserving ‘90s movies were given) made Fear hard to laugh at. Even in 2016, it remains…
Last year Netflix hiked up its subscription rates for new members but, in a merciful gesture, allowed existing customers to continue paying the same prices. But come May 2016, that Buffy the Vampire Slayer binge will cost you an extra two dollars per month whether you’re a longtime addict—err, I mean subscriber—or a…
