But that’s a big part of the reason I love these movies. With the series’ eighth film, The Fate of the Furious, arriving this Friday, there’s no better time to glance in our rear view mirrors and take a tour through the most ridiculous moments in Fast history....

Enter The Wire: The Musical, a stage show that retains all of the original series’ thoughtful examinations of weighty sociopolitical issues and unflinching sense of realism, only with more twirls, high kicks, and showstopping solos....

So I have rounded up some new Westworld theories for you to consider before the finale airs this weekend. In today’s Westworld theories, we consider whether the Bernard/Ford confrontation really went down like we think it did, where Elsie may be, if Charlotte is more than she appears to be, the real meaning behind that photo found in the park, and Ford’s new and final narrative....

What The R-Rated ‘Hellboy’ Reboot Means For Fans Of Mike Mignola’s Original Comics By Jacob Hall/May 9, 2017 9:30 am EST Update: According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit, the Hellboy reboot could be coming sooner than expected. We’ve added the information below.Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy films are two of the best comic book movies ever made…even if they rarely feel anything like the source material. While they were made with the full blessing of creator Mike Mignola, Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army are del Toro movies through and through, often discarding the tone of the original Dark Horse comics so the filmmaker (one of the great creative minds alive today) could follow his muse....

‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron’ Is An Exciting, Almost-As-Good-As-The Original Sequel [Movie Review] By Germain Lussier/April 21, 2015 2:00 pm EST For ten movies we’ve been waiting to see an entire movie of the Avengers being “The Avengers.” Sure, we’ve seen some crossovers. We’ve seen what the team could do when aliens invaded. We’ve even seen an alien pseudo-Avengers assemble in Guardians of the Galaxy. But up until Avengers: Age of Ultron, we haven’t seen what would happen if six amazing superheroes spent an entire movie together, working together....

/Film Talks To Joe Carnahan About ‘The Grey’ By Germain Lussier/Jan. 25, 2012 5:00 pm EST January movies are usually terrible. It’s a time studios generally reserve for films that are either not good enough to compete during awards seasons or not exciting enough to play during the summer. Every once in a while, though, a really great one slips through the cracks and that happens this month with Joe Carnahan’s The Grey....

‘Mistress America’ Is Noah Baumbach’s Funniest And Most Accessible Film Yet [Sundance 2015] By Germain Lussier/Jan. 25, 2015 12:00 pm EST Noah Baumbach’s movies have never been easy to describe. Each one blends so many different tones, sensibilities and genres that simply describing his movies as one thing doesn’t work. Calling The Squid and the Whale a family drama doesn’t seem right. Frances Ha isn’t just a coming of age story and Greenberg isn’t just a movie about self-discovery....

Amy Adams has until now played Camille as a prickly, self-destructive tempest who mostly drinks, seethes and observes. But this week we’re treated to flashbacks of Camille’s more recent history, and we start to understand her tragedy: that, despite her best efforts, she’s doomed to fail in the role of big sister again and again....

‘Sorry For Your Loss’ Suggests That Even Facebook Can Make Peak TV By Jamie Jirak/Sept. 26, 2018 8:00 am EST With each passing day, Facebook moves farther away from its long stint as the premiere social media platform. Millennials have taken to Instagram and Twitter while Gen Z-ers use Snapchat and apps most of us haven’t even heard of yet. It’s no secret Facebook was throwing a Hail Mary when they announced the launch of Facebook Watch, the site’s very own video-on-demand service....

‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Trailer Breakdown: Boldly Going Frame-By-Frame By Jacob Hall/May 18, 2017 1:00 pm EST The first trailer for Star Trek: Discovery has arrived, and that means one thing: it’s time to go through it frame-by-frame to see what we can uncover.

Death Sentence Movie Review By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 31, 2007 1:04 am EST “Everyone thinks they’re right in a War, but everyone still dies in the end,” Detective Wallis tells Nick Hume in Death Sentence. I’ve always found vigilante stories fascinating. To me, it’s one of the big appeals of Batman (and how Christopher Nolan is handling the character. However, I must admit, while I was excited to see Death Sentence, I was expecting very little....
