The ending of Fight Club didn’t seem to leave much room for a sequel. At least in the movie version. If you read Chuck Palahniuk’s original novel, its ending arguably left a bit more room for future storytelling. Nearly 20 years after Fight Club was published (and David Fincher’s movie hit theaters), the author has […]

GQ’s July issue has a Q & A feature with Kanye West. The interview is so deluded, I briefly considered that the issue wasn’t the interview, but actually my English comprehension skills. But no, really, I think I choose that both the questions and answers are so asinine, I would like to dissect them here […]

Last week was the final episode of Fox’s 24: Live Another Day, a limited 12-episode run of the popular series that reunites us with agent Jack Bauer four years after the ending of its eighth season. (If you haven’t watched it yet or plan to do so later, you might want to come back to this, […]

J.J. Abrams likes to be secretive about the details of his movies. But that didn’t go so well when he tried to keep the identity of Captain Kirk’s arch-nemesis Khan hidden from fans before Star Trek Into Darkness was released. So the director is being a bit more forthcoming about his next project, Star Wars: […]

Between hosting Saturday Night Live last season and performing the same duties at the ESPYs Wednesday night, Drake is becoming a go-to entertainer for sketch comedy. It most certainly helps that the rapper is funny and willing to make himself look ridiculous for the sake of a joke. One of the highlights of the ESPYs […]

Next week is Comic-Con in San Diego, which should provide a whole bunch of announcements about the movies, TV shows and comic books that comprise our beloved nerd culture. (And we’ll try to pass as much of it along as we can.) Entertainment Weekly is getting a head start on the fun with its annual […]

Comic books are in the mainstream headlines more than they ever have been, thanks to the success of Marvel films — and DC Comics, to a lesser extent (though that could change over the next few years with Superman and Batman getting rebooted on screen). But with the movies distilling these iconic characters to their […]

If you ever wanted to see Anne Hathaway with a mustache — or playing a keytar — Jenny Lewis’ new music video for her song “Just One of the Guys” could make you very happy. Check out Hathaway, along with Kristen Stewart and Brie Larson. Oh, and Jenny Lewis. This is her song. Stewart may […]

To get away from romantic comedies, Reese Witherspoon apparently has to create those kinds of roles for herself. Thus, the actress is a producer on Wild, an adaptation of Cheryl Strayed’s memoir, which depicts the author’s hiking 1,100 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail to clear her mind after her mother’s death, failing marriage and […]

This is not our finest moment as a culture, people. I know such a general statement shouldn’t be applied to everyone. It only applies to a few. Hopefully, very few. But the fact that there are some among us who thought director Steven Spielberg really poached a triceratops (based on the photo below) should cause […]

Among the summer movies of 2011, Rise of the Planet of the Apes was an extremely pleasant surprise. The film was released in the first weekend of August, away from the gridlock of June and July, and typically not when blockbuster franchises hit theaters. Besides hitting theaters when vacations are winding up and kids are […]

The 2014 Emmy nominations were announced Thursday morning, and as could be expected, many critics and fans were outraged over the shows and actors wrongfully snubbed. Depending on who you follow on Twitter, your timeline may have been flooded with fist-waving and teeth-grinding over The Good Wife not being nominated in the “Outstanding Drama” category, […]

Check out Christian Bale going from Batman to Biblical in the trailer for Ridley Scott’s new film, Exodus: Gods and Kings. (OK, Bale has done a couple of films such as American Hustle since The Dark Knight Rises.) Bale plays Moses, and the film depicts his effort to free 600,000 slaves from Egypt and the […]

Don Cheadle has been trying to make a movie about legendary jazz artist Miles Davis for nearly 10 years. Finally, the actor decided to just do it himself, writing, directing and starring in the film — with some help from many, many friends contributing to an Indiegogo campaign. The crowd-funded project, titled Miles Ahead, begins filming […]

With the semi-finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup being played this week, it seemed appropriate to post this video featuring actor Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Best known as “McLovin” from Superbad (and the avatar for
