Sometimes I considerAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.to be bi-polar, since its shifts in quality can go from simply fine to very good at the drop of a hat. Tonight’s positive swing from last week’s episode can be attributed to any number of points I highlight during this recap, mostly in that it addresses a lot of the weaknesses of the season in one fell swoop. Bobbi and Hunter’s whacky adventures in Serbia, hot on the trail of the villainous Gideon Malick, begin with time shifting between the pair being interrogated by a Russian agent in the present, and having just been captured 34 hours earlier in the past after completing their mission....

Armie Hammeras Batman? Not so fast. The internet was set ablaze last night when a rumor began circulating that not only could theCall Me by Your Namestar possibly be the next Caped Crusader, but that he was in “final negotiations” to take on the lead role in writer/directorMatt Reeves’ highly anticipated upcoming filmThe Batman. This didn’t pass the sniff test for a couple of reasons, and indeed it was swiftly debunked by bothBorys Kitfrom THR andJustin Krollfrom Variety—who can be implicitly trusted when it comes to the veracity of scoops....

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts have announced the nominees for the 2017 EE British Academy Film Awards—i.e. the BAFTAs, which are sometimes called the “British Oscars.” Unsurprisingly,La La Landcontinues to dominate the awards conversation with a leading 11 nominations, followed by nine nominations each forArrivaland, somewhat surprisingly,Nocturnal Animals. FilmmakerTom Ford’s literary adaptation didn’t strike a huge chord with critics (although I’m a fan), but it did manage to win a surprise Best Supporting Actor Golden Globe forAaron Taylor-Johnsonon Sunday and now has scored a number of BAFTA noms, including Best Director, Best Actor forJake Gyllenhaal, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Supporting Actor for Taylor-Johnson....

Marvel has released the firstCaptain America: Civil Warclip. In the clip, we get to see the New Avengers at work and how the particular skill sets of Cap, Falcon, and Scarlet Witch make them a formidable trio. It’s also cool to see Falcon’s personal drone Redwing at work, plus we get to see how Scarlet Witch’s powers have developed to give her forcefields and letting her catapult Cap in to a building....

Charlie Hunnam’s new movie,Jungleland, sees him playing a rough-around-the-edges manager and coach to his younger brother (Jack O’Connell), a boxer looking for a break. When Collider’s own Christina Radish spoke with Hunnam recently about the movie and his role in it, their discussion took a brief detour into Hunnam’s past roles. In doing so, it reminded us of all the twists and turns his career has taken over the last 20 odd years that led him to this point, toJungleland....

Avatar: The Way of Water, in the short time it has been in theaters, has owned the box office. In fact, it has becomethe third highest-grossing movie of all time, two behind its predecessor, 2009’sAvatar,and one ahead ofJames Cameron’s other epic,Titanic. Not bad for a film that was first announced way, way back in 2010. The reason for its delay isn’t surprising for those who know Cameron’s work: the technology simply hadn’t caught up to his vision until now....

From writer/directorJonás Cuarón,Desiertois a terrifying suspense-thriller packed with heart-pounding tension, as an unrelenting and deranged killer (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) points his rifle at a group of unarmed men and women at the U.S.-Mexican border. What started as a hopeful journey to seek a better life quickly becomes a nightmare for Moises (Gael García Bernal) as he fights for survival. At the film’s Los Angeles press day, the undeniably and always charming Jeffrey Dean Morgan spoke to Collider for this exclusive interview about playing such an unflinchingly bad guy, how scary it is that people might actually root for him, in our current political climate, whether you may even justify the actions of someone like this, and working with the three dogs who give their own stand-out performance as Tracker....
