Watch: ‘Jurassic World’ In 90 Seconds, With Legos By Angie Han/Aug. 21, 2015 7:00 am EST There was a lot to like about this summer’s Jurassic World. Chris Pratt! Velociraptors! T-Rexes! Hybrid dinosaur monstrosities even bigger than T-Rexes! Bryce Dallas Howard’s apparently supernatural ability to sprint in stilettos! The one thing it didn’t have, though, was Legos. Which seems like an especially glaring oversight when we all know how well Chris Pratt and Legos go together....

‘Agent Carter’ Synopsis Reveals Peggy’s Secret Missions For Howard Stark By Angie Han/Oct. 28, 2014 8:00 am EST The 2014-2015 season has already seen the returns of Agents of SHIELD and Arrow, as well as the debuts of Gotham, The Flash, and Constantine. But there’s still one major comic book series that has yet to launch. Agent Carter doesn’t premiere until early next year, and as such it’s the show we currently know the least about....

‘Assassin’s Creed’ And ‘Splinter Cell’ Sequels Are Already Being Planned, Obviously By Angie Han/March 24, 2016 7:00 am EST So it should come as no surprise whatsoever to hear that New Regency is already eyeing sequels for video game adaptations Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell, despite the fact that one won’t open for another nine months and the other hasn’t even set a production start date. So if they actually do manage to break the “video game curse,” you can rest assured there’ll be much more where they came from....

By Jacob Hall/April 21, 2016 12:00 pm EST Here’s the first Cafe Society trailer: Set in the late 1930s and 1940s, Café Society stars Jesse Eisenberg as a young man from the Bronx who travels to Hollywood, meets a pretty girl (Kristen Stewart), and has his fair share of low-key adventures. It looks light and fluffy and sweet, a welcome return to romantic comedies for Allen after a few years spent exploring the darker side of human nature in films like Blue Jasmine and Irrational Man....

‘Fatal Attraction’ Being Remade As An Event Series By Russ Fischer/July 1, 2015 12:30 pm EST The show is said to be planned as “a reimagining of the iconic thriller, in which a married man’s indiscretion comes back to haunt him.” Indeed, it seems like Fatal Attraction now would likely undergo a revision of sorts; if nothing else, there’s a lot to explore in the story of an affair which goes very wrong for both participants....

‘Game Of Thrones’ Director Confirmed Jon Snow’s Fate To President Obama [Comic-Con 2015] By Angie Han/July 11, 2015 8:00 am EST The heated debate over Jon Snow’s fate on Game of Thrones has gotten so intense, even the President of the United States wants to know what’s going on. Unlike most fans, though, he has the clout to demand answers from a person who might actually know the answer. At the Game of Thrones Comic-Con panel, director David Nutter described a recent meeting with President Barack Obama in which he was asked to confirm the events of the Game of Thrones Season 5 finale....

‘Jessica Jones’ Images: Krysten Ritter Leads Netflix’s New Marvel Series By Angie Han/Sept. 17, 2015 7:30 am EST The first Jessica Jones teaser released last week was fantastic — gorgeous, moody, mysterious, and even helpful, thanks to its release date reveal. But it didn’t actually show us much of the series itself. For that, we turn to the new batch of official images released today. Krysten Ritter leads Netflix’s latest Marvel series as the titular character, whose short-lived stint as a superheroine has come to a tragic end....

‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ Hunts Down A Few New Writers By Jacob Hall/Feb. 26, 2016 6:30 am EST You may love a lot of movies and books and games, but you probably only need one hand to count the pieces of art and culture that slammed into your brain with the force of a rogue asteroid and forever shaped your tastes. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and its sequels, written by Alvin Schwartz and illustrated by Stephen Gammell, are a key component in my personal make-up....

‘Spotlight’ Trailer: Michael Keaton And Rachel McAdams Investigate The Church By Russ Fischer/July 29, 2015 9:30 am EST Spotlight tells the story of the Boston Globe’s investigation into allegations of child molestation by Catholic priests, and just look at this cast assembled by director Tom McCarthy: you’ve got Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schrieber, Brian D’Arcy James, Stanley Tucci and Billy Crudup playing people on both ends of the legal argument....

‘Staten Island Summer’ Trailer: A Cavalcade Of SNL Stars Regret Nothing (Except The Herpes) By Ethan Anderton/July 1, 2015 12:00 pm EST There are plenty of movies hitting the big screen this summer, but it looks like one of this season’s gems may not be in theaters. Netflix is releasing the indie comedy Staten Island Summer on the streaming service at the end of the month, and this looks like a hilarious coming-of-age comedy....

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows’ Super Bowl Spot Offers First Look At Krang By Angie Han/Feb. 7, 2016 4:39 pm EST On the friendly side, the most exciting new addition is probably Casey Jones, the hockey stick-wielding vigilante to be played by Stephen Amell. And it’s just as well he’ll be along for the ride, since the Turtles are going to be up against some dastardly new foes including Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams), Rocksteady (Stephen “Sheamus” Farrelly), and Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry) — and maybe most exciting of all, Krang....

‘The Blues Brothers’ Animated Series In The Works, Because Nothing Is Sacred By Ethan Anderton/May 3, 2016 12:30 pm EST Even though legendary comedian John Belushi died back in 1982, that didn’t stop The Blue Brothers from getting revived for the unnecessary sequel Blues Brothers 2000. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that a lack of John Belushi isn’t stopping his partner in comedy crime, Dan Aykroyd, from developing a Blues Brothers animated series for primetime television....

‘The Forest’ Trailer: The Woods Reeeally Want To Kill Natalie Dormer By Jacob Hall/Dec. 21, 2015 1:00 pm EST Surely Natalie Dormer has what it takes to be a great scream queen. Audiences may be more used to watching her strut around fantasy worlds (Game of Thrones) and sprint through science fiction dystopias (The Hunger Games), but here is an actress with all of the right ingredients for a great horror movie heroine – she’s beautiful and tough and there’s a crafty intelligence on display in many of her performances that allow you to believe that she’s not just another bimbo to add to the kill count....
