Tupac Shakur is officially a Hall of Famer. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced its 2017 class on Tuesday, and Tupac Shakur might be the most notable name among the inductees. The influential late rapper is just the sixth hip-hop artist to be inducted into the Rock Hall, which indicates how one of […]

John Wick is still working on that retirement thing. Give Keanu Reeves credit for knowing a good thing when he sees it. John Wick looked like it may have been a bad career choice for the actor, a desperate grab at an action movie that could maybe provide Reeves with some cult popularity. Maybe John […]

Despite starring Harrison Ford (who had two Star Wars movies and Raiders of the Lost Ark on his résumé by then) and Ridley Scott (coming off 1979’s Alien) directing, the 1982 futuristic sci-fi thriller was a box office flop. As much as Blade Runner gets discussed among sci-fi and film fans, you couldn’t be faulted for assuming […]

With a darker tone and impressive visual effects, Rogue One feels like a new kind of Star Wars movie. [link_box id=”36688″ site_id=”1″ layout=”link-box-third” alignment=”alignright”]One of the knocks against Star Wars: The Force Awakens was that it followed the tone and narrative of the original three Star Wars films too closely. Fans enjoyed a new Star […]

Sometimes, if you want to see a Marvel film or TV show, you have to make it yourself. Marvel Comics properties are all over the big and small screen these days. Global icons like Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man and the Avengers dominate the theatrical box office, while street-level characters like Daredevil, Jessica Jones and […]

The past two weeks have seen the release of several big movie trailers, including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Transformers: The Last Knight, Baywatch and War For the Planet of the Apes. Joining the party is a preview for what should be one of next summer’s most anticipated films, Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk. July doesn’t […]

It’s been 20 years since Jerry Maguire debuted in theaters. Does it seem that long ago to you? (Maybe it does when you look at how Cuba Gooding Jr.’s career has gone since then.) Sure, there are things that make Cameron Crowe’s movie feel dated. Everyone’s using a flip phone. All of the prominent athlete cameos […]

Though it would be fun and the timing would be right, there almost certainly won’t be a teaser trailer for Star Wars: Episode 8 attached to the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story this weekend. For one thing, the movie doesn’t even have a proper title yet. (Although a surprise teaser would be a […]

[link_box id=”36688″ site_id=”1″ layout=”link-box-third” alignment=”alignright”]Maybe Office Christmas Party deserves credit for the simplicity of its title (and the title cards in its trailers). Everything you need to know is in the name of the movie. There’s no attempt to be cute or clever. And what’s really being sold here is a comedy with T.J. Miller, Jason […]

Director Zack Snyder is quite a Star Wars fan and isn’t shy about letting his geek flag fly. Fans might remember the Batman v Superman filmmaker and Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J Abrams trading mash-ups related to their respective projects during production. If not, here’s a refresher. Two years ago, Abrams revealed a […]

On the surface, there is no reason that the Baywatch movie (remake?) should fail. Dwayne Johnson is the embodiment of star power at this point in his career, and is the perfect combination of action hero and comedy goofball for a project like this. Zac Efron certainly has an action star’s body and has proven […]

You’re getting a new Transformers film whether you want it or not, young man (or woman). It’s been more than two years since a new Transformers movie hit theaters to assault your eyes, ears and brains. So another sequel in the giant robots blockbuster was apparently due. But with the last installment — the fourth […]

Cord-cutters haven’t embraced the HBO Now streaming service like the network and corporate parent Time Warner had hoped HBO Now hasn’t been quite the hit that the premium cable network and Time Warner hoped it would be. According to the New York Post‘s Claire Atkinson, the streaming service hasn’t drawn in a large percentage of […]
