The CW’s highly anticipated four-night TV crossover between its uber-popular DC superhero TV shows — Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow — had a challenging promise to deliver on: Stretch a single ongoing narrative across each show, while continuing plotlines already established in each season, doing so on multiple earths and locations, and providing ample screen time […]

[link_box id=”36688″ site_id=”1″ layout=”link-box-third” alignment=”alignright”]With Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard starring in a spy thriller/action movie set in World War II, Allied certainly appears to be a film that could be both successful with audiences and a critical success that could garner major awards. The movie’s release in late November during Thanksgiving weekend — when plenty […]

When it comes to judging the success of revivals or reunions of dormant television shows, the litmus test is simple: Does it justify its existence? Not all of them do. (Sorry, Fuller House.) Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life does that, for sure. We’re better off having it. But Netflix’s Gilmore Girls revival does a lot more than […]

Game of Thrones is a global phenomenon that, just like with J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter, has made George R.R. Martin a star. Sadly for him, unlike with J.K., fans are really mad at him right now. Back in 2011, A Dance With Dragons was released as the fifth installment in the seven-part book series A Song of Ice […]

The worst thing that ever happened to The Walking Dead was its ratings success. Because AMC’s hit show was a hit from the start, TWD has never truly had to make its audience care. The show premiered at a time when American TV viewers were desperate for zombies and the idea of a show centered […]

Larry Wilmore’s The Nightly Show was canceled earlier this year, having not found the audience Comedy Central was looking for in the time slot vacated by The Colbert Report. The comedian has been without a TV foothold in the aftermath, although he does serve as an executive producer for Black-ish, ABC’s Anthony Anderson sitcom. That relationship with ABC has […]

After Westworld‘s seventh episode, actor Jimmi Simpson, who plays William, told TV Line that what would make this season so great is the lack of cliffhangers at the end of it. Presumably, that meant fans could expect all their questions to be answered. Well, episode nine, “The Well-Tempered Clavier,” answered some of the biggest questions viewers […]

More than 30 years after the first Transformers toys debuted and the original cartoon hit the airwaves, and nearly 10 years after Hasbro’s toy franchise became a blockbuster movie series, robots which transform into cars (or vice versa) are a reality. For $600,000, you can have the real-life, full-size action figure, which is a BMW […]

Netflix’s reboot of the 1960s sci-fi/horror TV show Lost in Space just became more intriguing. News of another reboot, revival, or whatever you want to call it, of an old TV show or movie trying to capitalized on nostalgia and a familiar brand name wasn’t greeted with a terribly enthusiastic response. But after news of […]

Adam McKay essentially reinvented himself from a writer, producer and director known largely for comedy (especially teaming with his production partner Will Ferrell) into a filmmaker of consequence with last year’s The Big Short. Rather than another slapstick comedy about an overgrown man-boy, McKay took on the complex story of the role credit default swaps […]

In a galaxy far, far away, someone doesn’t know about the Star Wars films and we feel bad for them. News regarding the new expanded universe is coming out rapidly, and it’s making even casual fans jump for joy. Lucasfilm is releasing Rogue One this December, and with it, they are leaving tiny little crumbs […]

On Monday, the teaser for Cars 3 hit YouTube. Cars 2 was widely panned, and when Cars 3 was announced, people wondered why Pixar and Disney were bothering with it, as if Cars 2 hadn’t grossed $562 million. It was probably fair to expect that Cars 3 would continue with the silly-to-stupid aspects of the series that Cars 2 highlighted; namely, […]
