The Hollywood Reporter‘s Rebecca Ford wrote on Friday that Disney would not be going forward with plans for Tron 3, the sequel to 2010’s Tron: Legacy. The news was surprising. While Tron: Legacy wasn’t the groundbreaking film that the 1982 original was, the sequel was a box-office hit, grossing more than $400 million. Two members of its cast, Garret […]

With the current box office success of Mad Max: Fury Road and the overall popularity of comic book superhero movies, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s renewed interest in the failed 2007 Justice League movie to be made by director George Miller. If you’re unfamiliar with this, the project was titled Justice League: […]

Monday afternoon, Vanity Fair magazine released an image of its July 2015 cover, featuring Caitlyn Jenner (formerly known as Bruce). Here is the cover photo by Annie Leibovitz. The cover story is written by Buzz Bissinger (Friday Night Lights), who was given “unfettered access” to Jenner, according to Vanity Fair, detailing “the tensions, trauma and […]

When Jurassic Park was released in 1993, it began the slow decline of practical effects as the go-to source for special effects in films. In the years preceding Jurassic Park, several films — most notably The Last Starfighter, The Abyss, and Terminator 2 — had broken barriers in regards to computer generated imagery (CGI), but […]

The concerns were real. The fears have been confirmed. The piling on is justified. Cameron Crowe’s latest film, Aloha, is a total mess. You might guess that the movie couldn’t go wrong with Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone as lead actors. Having two of Hollywood’s biggest stars to headline his film looked like great fortune […]

I love Dwayne Johnson. I’ll see just about anything he’s in. (Though I’ve somehow managed to avoid the recent Fast and Furious movies and last summer’s Hercules, so I suppose I’m not as dedicated a fan as I believe myself to be.) As Exhibit A for proof of my devotion, I submit San Andreas. Had anyone […]

I’m no saint. If anyone looked back at everything I have written or said publicly and amongst close friends during the entire 27 years of my existence, they would find plenty of reprehensible comments I made due to some combination of youth, ignorance and stupidity. Since joining Twitter in 2008, I have found those comments to be commonplace. I’m not […]

Trevor Noah has been a controversial choice to replace Jon Stewart as host of The Daily Show. But for those who held out hope that Comedy Central might rethink its decision and tab someone else for the fake news anchor chair, the network made it clear that Noah is still happening with an ad touting […]

It’s a pity that CBS’ Battle Creek was cancelled after just one season, as the Vince Gilligan/David Shore-created show had created some refreshing and fascinating twists on the typical police procedural and had the potential to be great for years. Sadly, the May 8 news of its cancellation wasn’t all that unexpected, given the show’s less-than-stellar ratings (especially in the coveted key […]

It seems DC’s cinematic universe and television universe are starting to interfere with each other. With an amazing catalogue of characters to use, DC and Warner Brothers have reportedly told the TV world to stop using characters that will appear in future films. At MCM London Comic Con, Arrow star Willa Holland revealed that the show initially planned to […]

If the countless reviews, recaps and retrospectives haven’t made it clear yet, television’s “Golden Age” officially ended May 17 with the final episode of Mad Men, leaving a monster hole in our DVRs. With hundreds of cable shows that sit in the comfortable zone between “decent” to “good,” it’s near impossible to find the great […]

Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to turn 68 years old this year. That seems a bit too old to play Conan the Barbarian, the role that arguably first made the bodybuilder an action star in 1982. Yet 33 years later, Schwarzenegger is ready to reprise his role as the Cimmerian destroyer, taking the lead in The […]

Going into Tomorrowland, I wasn’t expecting to like it, given negative early reviews and a 49 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But I also wondered if the negative buzz came from so much anticipation for Brad Bird’s new film, yet without much known about it, that perhaps critics and writers developed a preconceived idea of the […]

Since we haven’t even gotten through the Memorial Day holiday weekend yet, it’s probably too early to declare the breakout star or cultural icon of Summer 2015 yet. But the early front-runner has to be Charlize Theron’s Imperator Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road. The ferocious, avenging war rig driver with a buzz cut, grease […]

If you watched Bill Murray’s final appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman this week (and weren’t too distracted by the comedian being covered in cake residue and frosting), you might recall the two briefly mentioning an upcoming Christmas special that Murray had filmed with director Sofia Coppola. Netflix has now released a teaser […]
