Glass Featurette This featurette is devoted to Sarah Paulson’s character Dr. Ellie Staple. Dr. Staple is a psychiatrist trying to convince David Dunn (Bruce Willis), Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy), and Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), that they’re not the super-powered people they believe themselves to be. That maybe, just maybe, it’s all in their heads. As is the case with most Shyamalan characters, there’s more to her than meets the eye....
By Ben Pearson/Jan. 30, 2019 10:30 am EST Hanna Super Bowl Trailer “You were born a girl,” Joel Kinnaman’s Erik tells his daughter over a training montage. “You’re small. Your voice is too soft to be heard. You will always be underestimated, overlooked, and ignored…use that.” It’s a message that feels timely and appropriate for 2019 – and it also comes over some cool imagery of teen spy Hanna (Esme Creed-Miles) leaping between trees, fighting in the snow, and punching a damn tree like Jean-Claude Van Damme in Kickboxer....

‘The Biggest Little Farm’ Review: A Solution-Oriented Breath Of Fresh Air In An Age Of Catastrophe By Caroline Cao/May 14, 2019 10:00 am EST It’s difficult to not begin with a dour note but the global realities stipulate that I must. I type this review as the scary-but-scientific United Nations headlines loom over all of us—biodiversity in crisis—which has fatal implications for animals and the human race. The climate catastrophe headlines are unpleasant but the maximum negative outcome must be expressed, or else we will be more unequipped for later....

‘Toy Story 4’ Will Be The First Pixar Movie In Decades To Not Feature An Animated Short By Hoai-Tran Bui/June 17, 2019 9:00 am EST For more than two decades, Pixar provided two rare constants: high-quality animated films that appealed to kids and adults, and envelope-pushing animated shorts that would air right before those films in theaters. But now, over 20 years after Pixar debuted its Oscar-winning Geri’s Game in front of A Bug’s Life in 1998, the animation studio is breaking tradition with Toy Story 4, which will not feature a preceding Pixar short film....

Iñárritu By Ethan Anderton/Feb. 25, 2019 8:30 am EST Millions of eyes were on the Academy Awards last night, and even though the live broadcast of Hollywood’s biggest event doesn’t pull in as many viewers as the Super Bowl, it’s still a hot spot for advertising.
