‘Cloak And Dagger’ Teases A Main Character’s Death In ‘Funhouse Mirrors’ By Monique Jones/July 6, 2018 1:00 pm EST It was a glib assumption by some that this series was only set in New Orleans because of tax breaks. This week on Cloak & Dagger, “Funhouse Mirrors” showed us just how big of a player New Orleans actually is in the lives of Tandy and Tyrone. More on that a little later, but right now, all you need to know is that this week we learned just how much of New Orleans history resides within our two main characters – and how much of the city’s future lives in them, too....

/Film’s 2016 SXSW Awards: The Best Movies, Best Performances And More By Jacob Hall/March 21, 2016 12:00 pm EST The 2016 SXSW Film Festival is over, so you know what that means: it’s time to sift through the wreckage and hand out imaginary awards created by a jury composed entirely of a single writer. Welcome /Film’s SXSW Awards, where the categories only exist as an excuse to talk about the best movies that I saw at this year’s fest....

‘The Big Sick’ Trailer: This Could Be The Best Comedy Of The Summer By Ethan Anderton/May 2, 2017 10:15 am EST You might think it’s a little bold to proclaim that The Big Sick will be the best comedy of the summer. And while reactions from trailers can tend to be hyperbolic in the moment, in this case, we’ve actually already seen the movie in question. The Big Sick debuted at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, and when all was said and done, it was the /Film crew’s favorite movie that premiered there....

‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Delivers Its Most Brutal And Horrifically Timely Episode With “The Last Ceremony” By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 21, 2018 7:00 am EST (We’re going to kickstart our weekly The Handmaid’s Tale review by answering one simple question: Who suffered the most?) The screener for this week’s episode of The Handmaid’s Tale came with a curious bolded warning: “This episode has content that may be extra sensitive for some viewers.” It’s an alarming piece of cautionary text for a show that has regularly trafficked in misery....

One of the many Marvel movies that were teased during the panel was Thor: Ragnarok, which is currently in production in Australia.

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Trailer Breakdown: Things Aren’t Going So Well For The God Of Thunder By Ethan Anderton/April 10, 2017 10:00 am EST This morning, the Thor: Ragnarok trailer caught everyone off guard. Not only does it look like it will easily be the best film in the Thor franchise, but it looks like it could be on the higher end in ranking all the Marvel Studios movies. Of course, this is just a teaser trailer, and we need to keep our hype in check....

AMC Stubs A-List Review: Convenient And Worth It If You Live Near AMC Theatres That Play Good Movies By David Chen/July 2, 2018 7:00 am EST AMC’s recently-announced Stubs A-List subscription is very exciting because it’s the first subscription service from a major chain to seriously compete with services like MoviePass and Sinemia. Sure, there’ve been pretenders to the throne like Cinemark’s Movie Club, but A-List’s value proposition actually poses some serious challenges to MoviePass’s domination of the subscription market....

Bill Murray Explains Garfield, Continues To Dismiss Ghostbusters 3 By Russ Fischer/July 19, 2010 11:52 am EST Be thankful for Bill Murray. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but every time he does an interview, Murray seems to give answers that are actually honest and thoughtful, as opposed to spitting out a party line. Not that I’d expect much different from a guy who goes against the Hollywood grain....

But the truth is, it happens all the time. And every time it does, there’s a fun misadventure and cautionary tale lurking somewhere behind the scenes. This is that story for Jim Bridges’ 1985 fitness focused feature Perfect....

ILM Visit: The Last Airbender By Adam Quigley/June 21, 2010 9:00 am EST I’m a late Avatar convert. It took months of being assaulted by the plaudits of critics and audiences until I was even ready to entertain the notion that a Nickelodeon show could actually be deserving of such praise, and several more months after having watched it to wipe clean the shame I felt for not taking note earlier....

Infographic: The Marvel Movie Universe Timeline By Russ Fischer/April 27, 2012 1:00 pm EST In the past few years Marvel has built a cinematic facsimile of its comic book universe. In practical terms that means that there is now a collection of films with interrelated plotlines, all of which come to a narrative point in The Avengers. With that film in theaters outside the US now, and opening in the States next week, it’s a good time to revisit the full timeline of Marvel’s movie universe....

Kevin Smith Answers Red State Questions By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 3, 2007 2:54 pm EST Since Kevin Smith has finished the first draft of his horror film Red State, he’s been talking about the film all over the view askew message boards.

Making A Movie: Distributing A Niche Documentary By David Chen/May 15, 2014 6:00 pm EST “Making a Movie” is a series of columns that chronicles our attempt to make, market, and distribute a film with Stephen Tobolowsky in 2014. A lot of people have asked me how we’re planning to distribute the film we’re making with Stephen Tobolowsky this year. The film is shaping up to be some hybrid between a documentary and a concert film, and it may only appeal to a very specific audience....
