But there’s another film that may not be quite as celebrated, but deserves to be honored for its 30th anniversary this year: the murder mystery comedy Clue....

This ‘Agent Carter’ Visual Effects Reel Shows Off A Marvel-Ous Digital New York City By Jacob Hall/Feb. 3, 2016 1:30 pm EST These days, I’m often more blown away by subtle and invisible special effects that call no attention to themselves than anything else. Sure, your CGI monsters can look cool and some of the work being done with motion capture technology is nothing short of astonishing, but those kinds of visual effects always look like visual effects....

TNT’s ‘Tales From The Crypt’ Reboot Is Crowdsourcing For New Stories By Jack Giroux/June 16, 2016 4:30 pm EST Director M. Night Shyamalan is helping to bring back Tales From the Crypt. The anthology series, which aired on HBO from 1989 to 1996, is coming to TNT. It was originally reported the reboot was inspired more by the 1950s comic book of the same name created by William Gaines and Al Feldstein than HBO’s adaptation, but now it sounds like Shyamalan and all involved might take Tales From the Crypt in another direction, as they’re searching for new stories from fresh new writers....

TV Bits: ‘The Walking Dead,’ ‘The Leftovers,’ ‘Looking’ By Jacob Hall/June 21, 2016 3:00 pm EST In this edition of TV Bits: How AMC is hiding Negan’s victim as they film The Walking Dead season 7. The first photos from The Leftovers season 3 are here. The trailer for the Looking TV movie has arrived. The Walking Dead season 6 ended with a huge (and hugely unpopular) cliffhanger that saw Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s new villain Negan kill a member of Rick’s crew with his barbwire-wrapped baseball bat…offscreen....

But this being Will Ferrell, of course it’s not just a straightforward adaptation of Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet. Instead, he’s set to star in a comedy about the weird wild world of Shakespearean theater. Hit the jump for all the details on the Will Ferrell Shakespeare comedy....

‘A Very Murray Christmas’ Trailer: The Booze-Soaked Holiday Variety Special You’ve Always Wanted By Jacob Hall/Nov. 17, 2015 1:30 pm EST Once upon a time, a holiday variety special hosted by Bill Murray would have been a star-studded live affair airing on a major television network. As a sign of changing times and tastes, A Very Murray Christmas is heading straight to Netflix and it looks like it captures the kind of melancholy and dryly funny humor that infect so many of us during the more festive months of the year....

That’s the side on display in the first trailer for Boulevard, his final onscreen performance. Williams plays Nolan, who on the surface seems to be doing just fine....

‘Exposed’ Trailer: Keanu Reeves Just Wants The Truth By Jack Giroux/Dec. 3, 2015 3:00 pm EST Keanu Reeves is a pesky detective that just won’t stop digging, asking questions nobody wants the answers to. I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear a line just like that in Reeves’ latest film, Exposed, as the trailer has its fair share of clichéd dialogue. But the familiar film does star Reeves, Ana de Armas (Knock Knock), and Christopher McDonald (The Iron Giant), a trio of actors I’d happily watch in the same movie....

This looks like a magical update of the old movie from Ain’t Them Bodies Saints director with a performance from young star Oakes Fegley that feels like the kind of child actor that Steven Spielberg would have discovered....

‘Ready Player One’ Director Steven Spielberg May Leave Out The References To His Own ’80s Films By Angie Han/Oct. 12, 2015 9:00 am EST Ernest Cline’s novel Ready Player One is a love letter to 1980s pop culture, from Atari video games to the films of Steven Spielberg. So when Spielberg himself signed on to direct the movie, it seemed perfectly fitting and also kind of weird. How would Spielberg handle a story so heavily influenced by his own films?...

The film, which does feature some good performances, wasn’t received particularly well.
