First ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Teaser Shaves The Majestic “Colbeard” By Ethan Anderton/June 4, 2015 6:30 am EST Just last month, David Letterman bid farewell to The Late Show on CBS, a program he helped make a comedic institution. And this fall, former Comedy Central political satirist Stephen Colbert will get behind the desk on the late night talk show. Since leaving behind The Colbert Report, the comedian has been rather busy elsewhere, and he even grew a magnificent beard, biding his time until he invades the late night circuit....

That means we’ll get to see the pilot eventually whether it gets picked up to series or not. Here is a brief synopsis: The UNTITLED FOX MARVEL PROJECT will focus on two ordinary parents who discover their children possess mutant powers.

How ‘Unfriended’ Makes Cyberbullying Everyone’s Problem By Angie Han/April 23, 2015 7:00 am EST Bullies are a staple of coming-of-age narratives. For the most part, though, these stories are told from the perspective of the bullied — think Carrie, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Revenge of the Nerds. Unfriended is the rare movie about bullies that’s told from the perspective of the bully, and it’s all the more effective because this fact isn’t immediately obvious....

Kate Beckinsale Might Return To ‘Underworld’; TV Series In The Works By Angie Han/Oct. 13, 2014 10:30 am EST Last month, we got word that Theo James would lead the next Underworld movie and that original star Kate Beckinsale would not be back.

Director Len Wiseman says there are two Underworld movies in development currently, and that one of those could feature Beckinsale....

They never reach the heights of The Avengers or Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but they never tumble to the dismal lows of Iron Man 2. They’re just kind of there, a great showcase for a handful of weird ideas and Chris Hemsworth’s always entertaining lead, but not too much more....

Netflix Claims Adam Sandler’s ‘The Ridiculous Six’ Is Its Most-Watched Movie Ever By Angie Han/Jan. 7, 2016 7:00 am EST Adam Sandler’s box office track record has been pretty shaky lately. Grown Ups 2 was a hit, but That’s My Boy tanked hard. Pixels and Blended performed decently overseas, but floundered in the U.S. Even his would-be prestige projects, Tom McCarthy’s The Cobbler and Jason Reitman’s Men, Women & Children, have turned out to be critical and commercial duds....

Watch Mark Hamill Host The TV Premiere Of ‘Star Wars’ In 1984 By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 6, 2016 6:30 am EST Before the advent of home video, if you loved a movie enough, you had to keep going back to the theater to see it.

‘Fast 8’ Photo: Helen Mirren Cozies Up To Vin Diesel By Angie Han/Aug. 3, 2016 3:00 pm EST If there’s one thing everyone seems to agree on right now, it’s that 2016 has been the freaking worst. But even now, there are occasional reminders that this world isn’t a completely terrible place.
