‘The Huntsman: Winter’s War’ Clips: Yep, Emily Blunt Is Still Riding A Polar Bear By Jacob Hall/March 29, 2016 7:00 am EST The most important thing about The Huntsman: Winter’s War is that there is at least one scene where Emily Blunt rides a polar bear. This was true when the first trailer arrived last month and it continued to be true when the second trailer arrived last week. This film seems to offer its fair share of pleasures for all kinds of people – the astonishingly handsome Chris Hemsworth strutting about with just enough chest exposed, the lovely Jessica Chastain kicking all kinds of ass in black leather, the incredible Charlize Theron vomiting black goo all over the place – but I’m buying a ticket because Emily Blunt is a literal ice queen who rides a fantasy polar bear....

Bryan Fuller’s ‘Star Trek’ Series Will Premiere Internationally On Netflix By Angie Han/July 18, 2016 1:30 pm EST In the U.S., Star Trek fans interested in Bryan Fuller’s new series will have no choice but to subscribe to CBS All Access. It’s a major play to get TV viewers to sign up for CBS’ new streaming service, and a very smart one – Trek lovers are a devoted bunch, and if checking out a promising-new Trek series means paying for yet another service, you can bet a great many of them will grit their teeth and fork over the $5....
