The Shallows: Jaume Collet-Serra on Casting Blake Lively

In the simplest terms,TheShallowsisBlake Livelyvs. a shark. It’s a fun film that had one of the best marketing campaigns of the summer (including some marvelous and unique trailers) and is given extra layers from directorJaume Collet-Serra(Non-Stop, The Orphan) who films the movie as a pop song combination of the two genres he’s most dabbled in: thriller and horror. In a summer that’s been treading water without a bonafide hit (apart from sequels),The Shallowshas alreadyrecoupedit’s entire budget of $17 million, after moving its release date up a few days (from June 29 to June 24)....

This 'Walking Dead' Character Made Us Wish For Walkers

Robert Kirkman’sThe Walking Deadhad an impressive run that lasted over a decade, introducing dozens of characters we both love and love to hate. Some were integral, like Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Michonne (Danai Gurira), and Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus). Others were fan favorite supporting players that left an indelible mark on the show with notable performances likeMelissa McBrideas Carol Peletier,Jeffrey Dean Morganas Negan, andSteven Yeunas Glenn Rhee. Then there are characters that are more annoying than they are impactful, and really didn’t add much of anything to the show....

Tom Hiddleston on Thor: Ragnarok & Loki's Transformation

The consistent complaint with Marvel films always comes back to ‘the villains’. They’re boring, ill defined, one-dimensional, yada-yada… But there is one exception everyone agrees on, the one villain who may even be better than the hero himself – Loki. Everyone loves Loki.Tom Hiddleston, fromThorthroughThe Avengers, has crafted not only the signature Marvel villain, but just a great villain period (regardless of genre/company). There is though a law of diminishing returns with villains....

But it appears thatWestworldSeason 3’s new normal is to put the foot on the gas and cover as much ground as possible....

What Keeps You Alive Review: Marriage Is a Most Dangerous Game

Think of the person you love the most. Maybe it’s your parents, your child, your wife or husband. Whoever it is, the unavoidable truth is you may never really know who they are. You will never 100% know what they’re thinking, what drives them or what they want. All acts of love, to some extent, demand a leap of faith — faith that they won’t lie to you, hurt you, cheat on you, abandon you, or any of the other infinite damages humans inflict on each other....

Why One of the Biggest Movies of All-Time Was Never Released in the US

When you hear the phrase, “worldwide blockbuster,” your immediate thought likely runs to a motion picture that hails from the U.S. After all, the only features in history to exceed $1+ billion globally originated in America and titles coming from the U.S. always have their box office achievements flouted by the domestic press. However, in the last decade, China has produced several massively lucrative titles that have given the biggest American blockbusters a major run for their money....

'Arrow' Midseason Finale Recap: "What We Leave Behind"

Arrowended 2016 with a hell of an episode. “What We Leave Behind” gave us a little bit of everything: humor, betrayal, angst, romance, and what seems like a highly unlikely resurrection (but, as Felicity says, in Star City, “people who are dead turn out to be secretly alive pretty much every Wednesday). In many ways, the midseason finale worked better as a landmark 100thepisode than last week’sactual100thepisode did. By flashing back to Season 1 and linking the Prometheus plot to Oliver’s actions at the beginning of his tenure as a masked vigilante, “What We Leave Behind” engaged with the question of Oliver’s growth and legacy better than the hallucination-heavy “Invasion!...
