‘Yesterday’ Review: A Fresh Gimmick Is Wasted In A Generic Musical Comedy By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 26, 2019 9:00 am EST Early in Yesterday, Himesh Patel’s sad sack musician-turned-unlikely-sensation offhandedly describes The Beatles as a pop group — a massively understated description for one of the most influential music groups of all time.

Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising?...
‘Aladdin’ Special Look Takes You To ‘The World Of Aladdin’ By Chris Evangelista/May 18, 2019 10:00 am EST The reaction to Disney’s upcoming live-action Aladdin has been a bit…muted. The footage revealed is a bit lacking, and fans of the original don’t quite know what to make of Will Smith’s take on the Genie.

‘Joker’ Won’t Have “Anything” From The Comics, Says Director Todd Phillips By Hoai-Tran Bui/July 8, 2019 2:30 pm EST Joaquin Phoenix’s aspiring comedian won’t be using any old material — this is an all-original Joker. Director Todd Phillips revealed that his upcoming feature film about the Clown Prince of Crime’s origin won’t be drawing any inspiration from the comics. The lack of Joker comics inspirations is intentional, Phillips said, because Joker is exclusively “about this man,” not the Batman rogue he will become....
