I don’t have too much of a problem with the final poster forStar Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s a perfectly serviceable movie poster, and it’s not like it hurt the film’s box office at all. That being said, it could have used some artistic flourish, and thankfully artists are now stepping up. Grzegorz Domaradzki(aka “Gabz”) has whipped up a newStar Wars: The Force Awakensposter that’s done in the style of the posters from the original trilogy, right down to the font....
From filmmakerSteven Spielbergand adapted from the book byErnest Cline, the sci-fi action adventure epicReady Player Oneis set in the year 2045 and follows Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan), as he escapes in the OASIS, an immersive virtual universe where most of humanity spends their days, living as any avatar they so choose and with only your own imagination as a limitation.

[Editor’s Note: Welcome to “Stream This,” our weekly feature where we single out television programs and movies of considerable merit that are available on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Crackle, or other streaming services. Look for a new Stream This every week.] It’s worth noting that in “Stunning and Brave,” the expectedly refreshing, self-reflexive premiere ofSouth ParkSeason 19,Caitlyn Jenneris not the subject of creator-writersTrey ParkerandMatt Stone’s merciless skepticism. For a show notorious for its reflection of popular culture and treatment of celebrities and public figures in general, the fact that Jenner does not appear, in any form, in the episode says a lot about what exactly Parker and Stone are getting at....
Grey’s Anatomyis well into its seventeenth season of television, and the juggernaut medical drama will celebrate its Sweet 16 on March 27. Premiering in 2005, the long-running series has been through myriad changes over its 16 years on the air, including the evolution of its themes and plotlines, and the gradual rotation of most of its cast, so that the faces now seen each week on our TV screens are largely not the same ones viewers met during the show’s first season....
You simply cannot stop horror movies. The love of a good scare dates back to cinema’s earliest days and while the genre has certainly evolved from era to era, it always remains a constant source of cathartic entertainment. Citizens groups have rallied against the genre throughout its history, studios have pulled films after public uproar, heck, governments have even banned horror movies over graphic content, but yousimply cannot stop horror movies....
This political season should have been an embarrassment of riches forThe Daily Show with Trevor Noah, but instead it’s turned out to be just an embarrassment. While we always knew there would be growing pains for the young host after taking over forJon Stewart, we didn’t know that the show would fall so far. Part of the problem is Noah’s inexperience. While they clearly wanted someone who could grow into the role of host, he’s a bit too lighthearted and easy going, and doesn’t tap into the anger that superior hostsJohn OliverandSamantha Beeare doing on their weekly programs....
Wingsmay have flown into theaters close to a century ago, but that does not mean it isn’t worth a watch. Thefirst best picture winner(or rather, at the time, “Outstanding Picture”) won the award for good reason. Its production design is stunning, even by today’s standards. The film is shot stunningly and even shows off technical marvels like its iconic tracking shot through a dining room and real aviation. But what transcends the years is the heart of the film, the love and friendship between the two leads Jack Powell (Charles ‘Buddy’ Rogers) and David Armstrong (Richard Arlen) as they make their way through the war....
Originally, CBS was hoping that both itsGood WifespinoffThe Good Fightand its newStar Trekseries would both premiere together in order to anchor its CBS All Access streaming platform. But after several delays and some uncertainty,Star Trekhas left TheGood Fightall alone. Even as aGood Wifefan, I wasn’t sure if the spinoff would seem like an essential watch, especially on (yet another) pay platform for a broadcast network whose other programming I don’t typically watch....
An adaptation ofEric Powell’s Dark Horse Comics seriesThe Goonhas been in the works for a very, very, very long time now. Its history as a project goes back as far as six years ago, and in fact it’s when many first heard ofDeadpooldirectorTim Miller, who has been attached to co-direct the film alongsideJeff Fowlerfor the entirety of its development.David Fincheris producing the adaptation, but it’s had trouble gaining traction since it’s essentially an animated movie for PG-13 audiences, which is both costly and risky....
