By Jacob Hall/Jan. 21, 2016 3:30 pm EST As long as people have been making movies, they’ve been telling stories about outlaws returning home, trying to put their dark pasts behind them, and finding their talent for violence coming in handy when bad guys come calling. Nothing about director Jon Cassar’s Forsaken looks particularly original or unique, but when you’re dealing with a genre as classical as the western, that may not be a bad thing....

‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 6: Kit Harington Finally Admits He’s Back, Continues Lying (Probably) About Why By Angie Han/March 7, 2016 2:32 pm EST Game of Thrones thrives on big, buzzy plot twists, but some of them are better executed than others. The Red Wedding, for example, was the very best kind of surprise: shocking and devastating at the time, but inevitable in retrospect. Ditto poor Ned’s fate in season one....

‘Spy’ Trailer: Melissa McCarthy Does Her Best James Bond By Angie Han/Jan. 13, 2015 6:04 am EST At this point, you can just about assume that if Paul Feig is directing it, Melissa McCarthy is starring in it.

Why Didn’t Baby Groot Want Drax To See Him Dancing? James Gunn Answers By Peter Sciretta/March 16, 2015 9:40 am EST The biggest question to come out of 2014’s blockbuster superhero science fiction film Guardians of the Galaxy has nothing to do with Thanos or Infinity Gems.
