‘The Intruder’ Trailer: Never Buy A House From Dennis Quaid By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 19, 2018 3:30 pm EST One thing your realtor never warns you about is buying a house from Dennis Quaid. Realtors have no legal obligation to caution prospective homeowners about prior Quaid-ownership, but as The Intruder trailer proves, such knowledge could be useful. Because Dennis Quaid doesn’t like it when you move into his house, folks. And he really doesn’t like it when you start making alterations....

Sorry, ‘Avengers: Endgame’ Has No Downtime For Bathroom Breaks By Chris Evangelista/April 9, 2019 3:30 pm EST If you were hoping the lengthy Avengers: Endgame would give you an intermission, or at least some downtime to pop off to the bathroom, I’m here to dash those hopes.

Sorry, Warner Bros. Isn’t Playing Your Silly “Remove The Rat From ‘The Departed’ Game”, Internet By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 27, 2019 3:00 pm EST The collective Internet hive-mind had themselves a good laugh over a recently launched Kickstarter. That Kickstarter’s aim? To remove the rat that scurries across the frame at the end of Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning crime flick The Departed. Hilarious, right? Well, Warner Bros. doesn’t think so. Much like Mark Wahlberg at the end of The Departed, the studio put on a track suit, latex gloves and paper booties and then put a bullet in the Kickstarter page’s head....

In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient audio file....

‘Birds Of Prey’ Footage Reaction: Harley Quinn Leads A ‘Fantabulous’ Superhero Girl Gang [CinemaCon 2019] By /Film Staff/April 2, 2019 4:39 pm EST Margot Robbie stole scenes in 2016’s Suicide Squad as the unpredictable Harley Quinn, who proved so popular — as both a character and a Halloween costume — that it was a no-brainer that she’d be receiving her own spin-off film. But she won’t be going off on adventures in Gotham on her lonesome....

‘Child’s Play’ Remake Poster Introduces Your New Best Friend By Chris Evangelista/Nov. 12, 2018 1:30 pm EST The Child’s Play remake that no one wants continues to barrel towards us, so we might as well accept it. The horror remake, which will introduce a new version of Chucky the killer doll to audiences, has a new poster, and a release date – a date that will put it head-to-head with another living toy movie: Toy Story 4....

‘Doctor Sleep’ Trailer: Ewan McGregor Faces Psychic Vampires In The Sequel To ‘The Shining’ By Chris Evangelista/June 13, 2019 9:01 am EST Mike Flanagan, director of Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House, tackles a very different iconic ghost story with Doctor Sleep.

‘Dumbo’ Review: Tim Burton’s Remake Fails To Take Flight By Josh Spiegel/March 26, 2019 9:00 am EST Some stories are best left as they are. This is a fairly unavoidable takeaway from Tim Burton’s unnecessary live-action/CG remake of the Disney animated classic Dumbo. Though not remotely as noxious and garish as his 2010 version of Alice in Wonderland, Burton has not solved the puzzle of figuring out a halfway decent creative reason for this film to exist....

‘Game Of Thrones’ Delivers One Of Its All-Time-Best Episodes With “A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms” By /Film Staff/April 22, 2019 11:00 am EST In “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” Game of Thrones does something unusual. It goes small. And intimate. And never strays from a single castle. The result is one of the most moving (and funniest) episodes of the entire series. /Film’s resident Westeros experts Jacob Hall and Ben Pearson will be examining this season together, discussing the merits, debating the issues, and maybe even harmoniously agreeing on this grand conclusion....

‘Here And Now’ Trailer: Sarah Jessica Parker Tries To Sort Her Life Out By Ethan Anderton/Oct. 9, 2018 4:00 am EST The film festival circuit is full of movies featuring characters who are just trying to sort their lives out.

‘It Must Be Heaven’ Review: This Hopeful, Inclusive Film Uses Comedy To Explore The Human Condition [Cannes] By Jason Gorber/June 7, 2019 6:30 am EST There’s something to be said about the blissfulness of ignorance. Festivals are prime places to be able to go into a film cold, often not even knowing the title, let alone the subject and synopsis. Give me a movie and I’ll apprehend, no matter what, and hopefully find something to fall for....

By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 23, 2018 3:05 pm EST If you thought the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise had sailed off into the wild blue yonder, think again! Disney is apparently exploring a Pirates of the Caribbean reboot, and they want the Deadpool writing team of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick to handle the script. Jerry Bruckheimer will still serve as producer, but there’s a good chance none of the original cast will return – including Johnny Depp....
