Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for What We Do in the Shadows Season 6. Laszlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry) has always been my favorite character inWhat We Do in the Shadows, but I have been feeling less enthusiastic about his storyline in Season 6. Up until the latest episode, Laszlo had spent most of the season either working on his version of Frankenstein’s monster or having pointless fights with his wife, Nadja (Natasia Demetriou)....

Original, daring, and thought-provoking, the sci-fi genre compels audiences to see beyond their wildest dreams into a future full of dangers and possibilities. Science Fiction reached a new height in the new millennium, but it has been around cinema since its inception. In fact, and contrary to what many believe, sci-fi is one of the genres that built Hollywood. The Silent Era produced many incredible and now-iconic sci-fi films.

Happy New Year! Great. Now that we’ve dealt with that, onto 2018, notably the very promising 2018 movie release schedule. Though February brings a few promising big titles (The 15:17 to Paris,Black Panther, andAnnihilation) and limited releases (A Fantastic WomanandLoveless), it’s the March release ofAva DuVernay’s adaptation ofA Wrinkle in Timethat strikes me as the first major big-studio release of the year. We’re still over two months away from the film’s release, and the new trailer for the movie will not make your impatience any easier to temper....

Though he’s best known for histenure as Supermanin the original feature film series, there’s a lot more toChristopher Reevethan just the Man of Steel.

The007franchise has been going onfor over 60 years now,with the first coming out way back in 1962. Over the course of its 25-film run, there have been some really amazing flicks featuring a few different actors. Of course, with the good comes the bad, and there have been some pretty unimpressive installments over the years, too. Each decade of the franchise is special in its own right, with new film technology paving the way for more interesting action sequences....

See all of our Best TV of 2015here. 2015 saw the end of three key works in the so-called Golden Age of Television, though they ended in very different ways. “Person to Person,” with its iconic “I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke” conclusion, endedMad Menon a contentious and ultimately melancholic note, suggesting that even enlightenment would ultimately become a way to sell carbonated sugar water (even if the message of universal connection is meant sincerely)....

Granted, the YouTube user in question here isCheekySneakyPeeky, so obviously it’s 100% legit.

DirectorAndy Serkis’Venom: Let There Be Carnagedefied even the most extravagant projections to make $90.1 million in its opening weekend. That’s huge enough to make it the largest haul of the pandemic and extract a salty statement from Sony chairmanTom Rothman, who said, “We are also pleased that patience and theatrical exclusivity have been rewarded with record results.
