TV Trailers: ‘Legion’ Gets Explosive, ‘Riverdale’ Gets Steamy By Angie Han/Jan. 6, 2017 2:00 pm EST The first months of the year may be a dismal time for movies, but it’s a very good time for television.

Climax Review Gaspar No S Latest Dances Deliriously Toward Death Tiff

‘Climax’ Review: Gaspar Noé’s Latest Dances Deliriously Toward Death [TIFF] By Marshall Shaffer/Sept. 10, 2018 9:00 am EST Whenever any cinematic movement occurs with a noticeable sense of purpose on screen, critics commonly employ the trope of reaching into the language of dance. It’s not just walking, it’s a filmic ballet. It’s not just blocking, it’s choreography. Maybe it says something more about the scattershot cinematography of a screen-saturated culture where images are captured with little acknowledgement of the relationship between the subject and cameraperson, but when the two are in complete symbiosis, it stands out....

‘Foxcatcher’ Early Buzz And Teaser: Bennett Miller At His Best By Angie Han/May 19, 2014 8:30 am EST It’s far too early to throw around phrases like “best of the year.” But it’s not too early for the phrase “best of Cannes,” and superlative reviews for Foxcatcher suggest that the Bennett Miller drama has already earned that label. Steve Carell reportedly puts in a career-changing performance as eccentric millionaire John du Pont, who becomes the benefactor to two American wrestlers — brothers Dave (Mark Ruffalo) and Mark Schulz (Channing Tatum)....

By Germain Lussier/June 16, 2011 12:00 pm EST Formerly of Mars, John Carter will be Oscar-winning director Andrew Stanton’s first foray into live action.

‘Lost’ Creator Damon Lindelof Defends ‘Game Of Thrones’ Season 5 Against The “Haters” By Angie Han/Aug. 21, 2015 2:30 pm EST In terms of viewership, Season 5 was Game of Thrones’ best yet. In terms of narrative quality, however, the jury’s still out. Even as the season was showered with praise for highs like “Hardhome,” it caught a lot of flack for its uneven pacing and nasty twists. What Game of Thrones could really use right now is a valiant champion to fight for it in the court of public opinion....

Could Marvel Replace Robert Downey Jr. With A Black Female Iron Man? By Peter Sciretta/July 21, 2016 8:00 am EST A couple weeks back, Marvel Comics revealed that a black teenager named Riri Williams would be replacing Tony Stark as Iron Man in the comic books.
