‘Mortal Engines’ Trailer: Peter Jackson Presents A New Adventure By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 5, 2018 9:59 am EST There was a period there where YA movie adaptations were abundant – and the majority of them were disappointing. The trend has died down a bit, but it isn’t gone completely. Case in point: Mortal Engines is the latest film to bring a YA series to life. The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic world where “entire cities have been mounted on wheels and motorized, and prey on one another....

‘Untouchable’ Review: Harvey Weinstein’s Accusers Speak Out Against The Disgraced Mogul [Sundance] By Ben Pearson/Jan. 29, 2019 11:00 am EST My first thought about Untouchable, the new documentary about Hollywood mega-producer and sexual predator Harvey Weinstein, was that it didn’t bring anything new to the table. But that’s not entirely true – the film reiterates every detail you already know from the key reports that have been published about him, but the true power of this movie (and for me, the only reason it should exist at all) comes in its interviews with Weinstein’s victims, and the stories from these women are just as heart-rending and disturbing as you probably imagine....

Bruce Campbell Teases More ‘Evil Dead,’ But Without Ash Williams By Hoai-Tran Bui/May 15, 2019 8:30 am EST Bruce Campbell is laying Ash to rest. The chainsaw-wielding protagonist of the camp-horror classic The Evil Dead has been battling the forces of evil for nearly 40 years, but Campbell may soon be hanging up his chainsaw hand. But others will be there to take his place, as Campbell promises the Evil Dead franchise will live on past Ash Williams....

Catch A Glimpse Of All Your Favorite Pokémon In New ‘Detective Pikachu’ International Poster By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 4, 2019 4:00 pm EST Rest your weary eyes from combing every single frame of the Detective Pikachu trailers to find your favorite Pokémon, as the latest international Detective Pikachu poster has them all gathered in one place. Kind of. About a dozen Pokémon populate the new Detective Pikachu poster, making it slightly easier to catch all the sightings — though I’m sure there are still hundreds more that we haven’t even spotted....

Exploring The Many Connections Between ‘Star Wars’ And ‘Doctor Who’ By Bryan Young/Oct. 16, 2018 11:00 am EST (Welcome to The Movies That Made Star Wars, a series where we explore the films and television properties that inspired or help us better understand George Lucas’s iconic universe. In this edition: Doctor Who.)

New ‘Jumanji 3’ Photo: Not Everything Is As It Seems By Ethan Anderton/March 12, 2019 1:38 pm EST Another Jumanji movie will go up against Star Wars Episode 9 this winter. That’s the kind of confidence you get when a half-sequel, half-reboot rakes in over $962 million at the global box office. Production has been underway this year with the cast from Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle all back together, but we haven’t seen them reunited until now....

The /Filmcast: After Dark - Ep. 137 - Restaurants In Movie Theaters (GUEST: Tim League From The Alamo Drafthouse) By Slashfilmcast/March 13, 2011 2:00 pm EST The /Filmcast: After Dark is a recording of what happens right after The /Filmcast is over, when the kids have gone to bed and the guys feel free to speak whatever is on their minds. In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient audio file....

This Week In Trailers: Wrestle, Chi-Town, The Inventor, Diane, A Tuba To Cuba By Christopher Stipp/Feb. 17, 2019 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?...

Why Cassian Andor Is Primed And Ready For His Own Solo ‘Star Wars’ TV Show By Donna Dickens/Nov. 9, 2018 10:00 am EST (Welcome to A Different Point of View, a column where we explore the supporting characters of the Star Wars universe and discuss why they deserve more time in the spotlight.)This week’s article is an exercise in serendipity. Captain Cassian Andor is the name on everyone’s lips as of publication, but I swear to you I was already writing about his fascinating life history before Lucasfilm came crashing in with their latest announcement....

Alita: Battle Angel I’m not so sure how the film will turn out. The look of Alita is too unnerving for me – major Uncanny Valley vibes. But perhaps she’ll look a bit better in the final film. However Alita turns out, though, I’m confident Holkenborg’s score will kick major ass. Hell, I even like his Batman v. Superman score, even though I find the movie to be dreadful. The same goes for Black Mass, a truly awful film that just happens to feature a gorgeous and haunting score from Holkenborg....

Blinded by the Light Trailer As you can see in the trailer above, this feels like the spiritual sibling Sing Street from a few years back (which is heading to Broadway soon). This is one of those magical, uplifting coming-of-age movies that make you remember what it was like to be a kid, feeling like the whole world was against you. The only person who understood you was whoever sang the lyrics pulsing through your headphones....

‘Doctor Sleep’ Will Acknowledge Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’ By Chris Evangelista/Oct. 1, 2018 2:30 pm EST Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep is technically a sequel to The Shining – but that causes a problem. As any King fan can tell you, Stanley Kubrick’s film adaptation of The Shining is very different from King’s book, which raises a question: will Flanagan’s film ignore The Shining movie adaptation entirely, or will the filmmaker reference Kubrick’s classic in some capacity?...
