‘Lights Out’ Trailer: Yes, There Is A Monster Hiding In The Darkness By Jacob Hall/June 24, 2016 10:30 am EST There is no fear as primal as fear of the dark.

‘Mistress America’ Trailer: Greta Gerwig And Noah Baumbach Are A Perfect Pair By Russ Fischer/Aug. 7, 2015 3:00 pm EST Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig seem to have a great working relationship, in addition to their off-screen partnership, and their latest film together, Mistress America, features Gerwig as an unlikely mentor to a hesitant college freshman (Lola Kirke) who is also about to be her stepsister. “Unlikely,” because despite a seemingly boundless enthusiasm for just about everything, Gerwig’s character almost seems as if she can’t quite get her own life lined up, much less provide direction for anyone else....

‘The Angry Birds Movie’ Trailer: Jason Sudeikis Has A Serious Anger Management Problem By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 26, 2016 6:00 pm EST Even though the movie is called The Angry Birds Movie, based on the popular mobile game of the same name, it looks like there’s really only one angry bird here. Red, a bushy-eyebrowed bird with a temper problem, is voiced by Jason Sudeikis.
