One month ago, actorAnton Yelchindied in a freak automobile accident, and I’m still sad and angry about it. Yelchin was an immensely talented actor, and given his young age, I have no trouble believing he could have grown into one of the best in Hollywood. He gave scene-stealing performances and could always be counted on to improve the overall quality of his movies. It will be bittersweet to see him as Pavel Chekov whenStar Trek Beyondhits theaters, but since producerJ....

Gotham’s third season is premiering soon, but usually when we think DC TV it’s more focused on the CW’s four-night lineup of DC heroes (sorry,Gotham, you are … what you are).The Flash,Arrow,Legends of Tomorrow, andSupergirlare all slated to return in October, which means we’re finally getting some more tidbits about what to expect in their respective seasons. It seems like all four series will be going through a sea change —Supergirlwill be on a new network with a new Vancouver (rather than L....

The much-maligned 1996 black comedyThe Cable Guywas viewed by critics as the first misfire inJim Carrey’s career, after a series of mega hits includingAce Ventura: Pet Detective,The Mask,Dumb & Dumber,Batman Forever, andAce Ventura: When Nature Calls. Carrey was paid a then-record salary of $20 million to star as the eponymous Cable Guy, a deranged cable repairman who becomes obsessed with one of his customers, Steven M. Kovacs (Matthew Broderick), and begins systematically ruining his life....

Studio Ghibliis known for its heavy hitters likeSpirited AwayandThe Boy and The Heron. But there is a film that was never theatrically released in Japan. That’s about to change, as the coming-of-age movieOcean Waveswill enter Japanese theaters for the first time this July, allowing fans to watch it on the big screen. According toComicBook.com, this will be a nationwide release and the first time this Studio Ghibli project will enter theaters....

If you’re even slightly open to watching scary-ish movies and you’ve yet to check outMichael Dougherty’s Christmas horror filmKrampusthen I suggest rectifying that while it’s still in theaters. StarringAdam Scott,Toni Collette, andDavid Koechner, the pic is a successful combination of the scary, the funny, and the fantastical. Those expecting a straight horror film will be let down by the relative number of scares, but Dougherty’s goal is less about blinding the audience with fear and more about presenting a familiar holiday scenario with a dark, humorous twist....

The future ofStar Warsis on the small screen. At least for now. WhileStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalkerwrapped up the nine-film Skywalker Saga in a divisive fashion, Lucasfilm is “taking a breath” betweenStar Warsmovies at the moment as they work to sort out what the future ofStar Warsfilms looks like. Development is ongoing ona feature to be directed byTaika Waititi, andthree upcoming films were just announced today at this year’s Star Wars Celebration in London, but in truth, there’s plenty of action happening on the small screen right now in theStar Warsuniverse....

Anthony Weinerwas almost built to be a punchline based on his last name. No one is more aware of his rise and fall than Weiner, and yet directorsJosh KriegmanandElyse Steinbergcan’t gleam any unique perspective in their documentaryWeiner, which followed the former congressman during his disastrous 2013 campaign for mayor of New York City. After spending 90 minutes with Weiner, we understand him and the media machine that devoured him just as well as before we started the movie....

It’s really too early in the day to be crying, but that’s what watching aWelcome to Marwentrailer will do to you. The upcoming feature film fromRobert Zemeckisis based on a documentary,Marwencol, byJeff Malmberg, which tells the story of Mark Hogancamp, who loses his memories after being beaten almost to death, and as a form a therapy (because he can afford no other), he makes a replica of a tiny Belgian village and populates it with characters that represent him and those in his life – both loved ones, and his attackers....

Wes Andersonis one of the few directors whose films are essentially their own genre; whether that’s something that everyone enjoys is up for debate, but it would be unfair to say that each of his films isn’t unique in one way or another. Anderson has always shown a versatility with genre, even if he conforms to similar visual tendencies.Bottle Rocketis a comedic neo-noir,Moonrise Kingdomis a coming-of-age romance,The Grand Budapest Hotelis a political statement,The Darjeeling Limitedis a road trip dramedy, and his ventures into animation tone down the violence and profanity in order to appeal to a youthful audience....

Following last night’s season 2 premiere ofWestworld, HBO released a new trailer looking at the weeks ahead on the upcoming series. There were some intriguing teases like a possible look at the world outside the park, the relationship between Arnold and Dolores, and, most of all, Maeve wielding a samurai sword. It’s a lot of show to fit into just ten episodes, and as last night’s premiere showed, there are a lot of characters to service....
