‘Ant-Man’ - What Did You Think? By Russ Fischer/July 17, 2015 5:30 pm EST It’s been years in the making, over a decade in truth, but Marvel’s Ant-Man is on the big screen this weekend. Kickstarted by Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish in 2003 and ultimately directed by Peyton Reed with Paul Rudd starring, the film acts as the final chapter in Marvel’s “phase two” of universe building. In fact, the film is something like an intermission for the great forward push in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with connections to recent films, but also a structure and tone that is more akin to Iron Man than anything else....

‘Lace Crater’ Trailer: Why You Should Stay Away From Haunted Art Studios By Jack Giroux/Aug. 2, 2016 1:30 pm EST If Harrison Atkins’ directorial debut, Lace Crater, wasn’t on your radar before, it should be now. The offbeat horror movie, which is produced by Joe Swanberg (Digging for Fire), is something else, as you’ll likely learn from the trailer. Lace Crater is an often sad, funny, and unsettling post-breakup story that takes its ludicrous-sounding concept to some surprising places....

After all, Warner Bros. is chasing the Marvel Studios model here – everything is connected, with characters and events in one movie having a direct impact on another....

J.K. Rowling Details Harry Potter’s Family History: Three Things We Learned By Angie Han/Sept. 22, 2015 2:00 pm EST We know quite a bit about Harry Potter at this point — enough to fill, oh, about seven books — but a lot less about his family.
