This Week In Trailers: A Fragile Trust, Shopping, The Sea, Trap For Cinderella, The Moo Man By Christopher Stipp/July 14, 2013 9:00 am EST Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect.

What ‘Batman & Robin’ Can Teach Us On Its 20th Anniversary By Dalin Rowell/June 28, 2017 7:30 am EST Often when we look at movies that defined our youth, we attempt to cling onto some aspect of nostalgia that can repair any visible flaws.

‘Glow’ Review: Netflix’s Lady Wrestling Drama Is Empowering And Surprising By Candice Frederick/July 3, 2017 9:00 am EST I’m not what you would call a fan of wrestling.

Not even Mickey Rourke’s dramatic comeback in The Wrestler, which illuminated the heart and camaraderie of the sport, made me change my mind about it....
