Now You See Me 2 Trailer: Watch The First Minute Of The Movie Now By Peter Sciretta/May 5, 2016 2:30 pm EST Lionsgate has released a new trailer for Now You See Me 2. The new piece of marketing shows how Morgan Freeman’s character, incarcerated skeptic Thaddeus Bradley, has somehow framed the Four Horseman and is using the magician group to do his evil bidding. Of course we also see a lot of visual flourishes thanks to the film’s magic-fueled heist set-pieces, many of which appear to use too much CG for my tastes....

POTD: The One Thing That Never Changes For Tony Stark By Angie Han/Oct. 24, 2014 2:30 pm EST Over the past six years, we’ve seen Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark go through all sorts of crap. He’s been captured and imprisoned, fallen in love, made new superpowered friends, struggled with booze, battled aliens, developed PTSD, removed his arc reactor, and through it all become a slightly better person than he was in the first Iron Man....

Are audiences asking for them? Do studios think movie fans want their favorite characters demystified and explained to death?

Who Wants To See A Godzilla-Sized ‘Gremlins’ Sequel? By Jack Giroux/Dec. 1, 2015 6:00 am EST A part of the charm of Joe Dante’s Gremlins films is how much hell the little monsters raise. They also don’t cause massive, destruction porn. If the Gremlins reboot/sequel comes to fruition, will it feel the need to compete with the huge monsters we see today? According to the original films’ star, Zach Galligan, he’d like to see the series go in that direction — and maybe it will....

‘Bad Santa 2’ Trailer: Billy Bob Thornton Tries To Recapture That NSFW Christmas Magic By Angie Han/Aug. 9, 2016 10:00 am EST Since 2003, Bad Santa has become a sort of holiday classic for people who don’t like holiday classics.
