But if you’re eagerly anticipating, say, Joon-ho Bong’s Okja or Christopher Guest’s Mascots, you may want to give The Ridiculous 6 a bit of begrudging credit....

By Ethan Anderton/June 30, 2016 12:30 pm EST What would you do if a stranger handed you a phone, and someone on the other end of the call tasked you with completing a mysterious task?

New ‘Batman V Superman’ Posters Go After The Butler, Reporter, And Evil Industrialist Demographics By Jacob Hall/Feb. 23, 2016 9:00 am EST What tickles me most about these new posters is the use of logos. Since the character posters for Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman all featured those iconic heroes striking dramatic poses behind their equally iconic logos, the posters for Alfred, Lois, and Lex follow suit. And whether intentional of not, it’s my ideal shade of silly....
