‘Nerve’ Trailer: Emma Roberts And Dave Franco Play The Most Dangerous (Online) Game By Jacob Hall/May 11, 2016 1:30 pm EST The movies have always had a fraught relationship with the internet, depicting the online world as a vile hellscape where there is no hope, only agony and humiliation and maybe even the end of the world. And that’s not an entirely inaccurate description. The whole “the internet is pure evil” thing has been the subject of more than a few science fiction and horror films, with most of them building grand online conspiracies or using technology as the host for some king of supernatural evil....

Prepare Your Tear Ducts For This ‘The Good Dinosaur’ Clip By Jacob Hall/Nov. 5, 2015 12:00 pm EST Pixar isn’t an animation studio – it’s a massive conspiracy to make grown adults cry. They did it a few months ago with the masterful Inside Out and they look like they’re going to try to do it again in a few weeks with The Good Dinosaur. While the studio’s previous film ripped those warm, salty tears out of our eye sockets with the force of childhood memories, this one is going for a sob extraction using an even more tried and true method: the parental angle....

After all, surely a new TV series can cover whatever ground a proper film sequel would have have gone over. If it’s a hit, Ash vs. Evil Dead could essentially become Evil Dead 5 and Evil Dead 6 and so on, taking this beloved horror series in whatever direction it desires for as long as it desires....
