This Week In Trailers: Silenced, Little Accidents, The Last American Vampire, Giuseppe Makes A Movie, National Gallery By Christopher Stipp/Jan. 10, 2015 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. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...

By Jack Giroux/Feb. 13, 2016 10:00 am EST Midnight Special and Loving topped my most anticipated of 2016 list. Two movies in one year from writer-director Jeff Nichols is one sweet deal.

Chance The Rapper Hosts The Best ‘Saturday Night Live’ Of Season 43 So Far By Ethan Anderton/Nov. 19, 2017 9:00 am EST That’s right.

Five ‘Batgirl’ Comic Book Stories That Should Influence The Movie By Jamie Righetti/April 6, 2017 7:00 am EST It’s not exactly a done deal just yet, but news that Joss Whedon is in talks to write, direct and produce a solo Batgirl film definitely took everyone by surprise late last week. Of course, Whedon is no stranger to superhero films, having already directed both The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but this film would see Whedon crossing over to the other side of the comics aisle and would mark his first film in the DCEU....
