‘Game Of Thrones’ – The 10 Most Important Moments In “No One” By Jacob Hall/June 13, 2016 11:00 am EST Every season of Game of Thrones has a weak spot or two, a few episodes where the wheel-spinning becomes a little obvious and transparent. While important things occurred in “No One,” this was undeniably the slowest episode of the show’s sixth season, an hour that pumped the brakes on plot in a big way....
‘Halloween’ Heads Back To Theaters In October; ‘Raiders Of The Lost Ark’ Theatrical Run Extended By Russ Fischer/Sept. 14, 2012 10:59 am EST The practice of theatrically rereleasing classic films seems to be picking up steam, and the latest to get new theatrical bookings is John Carpenter’s 1978 film Halloween. Carpenter’s movie solidified the slasher genre and wrote much of the roadmap for ’80s horror. It is one of the most successful independent films ever released, and for a long time was one of the most profitable movies, period, as it made nearly $50m in the US alone based on a budget of a couple hundred thousand dollars....
‘Hellboy’ Star David Harbour Explains How His Approach Is Different Than Ron Perlman’s By Ben Pearson/Aug. 22, 2017 2:00 pm EST The cast of the Hellboy reboot slowly continues to grow (the movie added Deadpool’s Ed Skrein in a highly questionable decision yesterday), but it’s time to hear some more from the man who’s playing the red-skinned World Destroyer himself, Stranger Things actor David Harbour.

‘John Wick’ Review: Fierce Action In A Unique And Curious Crime Underworld By Germain Lussier/Oct. 24, 2014 10:00 am EST Ninety percent of action movies are derivative. Carbon copies of better movies that came before them. They can be enjoyable, but are often forgettable. Then there’s the other ten percent. Those movies are something special. They originate and innovate, and rise about the rest by being different and surprising. However, by definition, even the best of the best employ many of the same beats....

‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Early Buzz: Spidey Is Back And He’s Better Than Ever By Jacob Hall/June 23, 2017 9:33 pm EST Marvel Studios has turned the superhero moviemaking engine into a finely tuned machine. From the sound of things, Spider-Man: Homecoming doesn’t deviate from their tried and true course of showing everyone else in the business how it’s done. Despite being a collaboration with Sony (who owns the Spidey movie rights), Peter Parker’s first solo adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is earning raves more in line with Guardians of the Galaxy than The Amazing Spider-Man 2....
Battlestar Galactica Prequel Series Caprica Is On The Way! By Devindra Hardawar/Dec. 3, 2008 10:15 pm EST This is a tough time for Battlestar Galactica fans. Not only do we have to wait until January to satisfy our BSG addiction (an artificial delay so that Sci-Fi could string along viewership into 2009), it will also be a bittersweet return since the remaining 10 episodes will be the last we see of the series....

As different as the costumes, culture, and scenery are, viewers looking forward to the introduction of a brave new world, unlike anything we had seen on the show before, may have been slightly underwhelmed by some of the deliberately samey aspects of Shogun World....

James Mangold’s Past Movies Make Him An Inspired Choice To Direct A Boba Fett Film By Joshua Meyer/May 31, 2018 9:30 am EST It’s the movie news that demanded an emergency podcast last week: Boba Fett is apparently locked in for his own Star Wars spin-off, to be directed and co-written by James Mangold. The Fett film had long been rumored, so for many fans, the bigger surprise probably came from seeing Mangold’s name attached to the project....

New ‘Rogue One’ Photos Reveal New Scenes That Didn’t Make The Cut & More By Ethan Anderton/Jan. 4, 2017 1:30 pm EST In the 18 days that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was in theaters in 2016, the movie rounded up enough box office dollars to be the second highest grossing movie of the year. That’s most impressive, even if it’s not entirely unexpected from a Star Wars movie, and with more money pouring in everyday, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that we’re still learning new things about the movie whose production has been under a microscope ever since extensive reshoots were done last summer....
