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

The Morning Watch: VFX Artists React To Resurrected Actors, ‘Anatomy Of A Murder’ Video Essay & More By Ethan Anderton/June 6, 2019 5:00 am EST The Morning Watch is a recurring feature that highlights a handful of noteworthy videos from around the web. They could be video essays, fanmade productions, featurettes, short films, hilarious sketches, or just anything that has to do with our favorite movies and TV shows. In this edition, VFX artists react to the digital wizardry to bring deceased actors to the big screen in movies like Furious 7 and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story....

‘Captain Marvel’ Directors Ryan Fleck And Anna Boden Talk The Genius Of Ben Mendelsohn, Renaming Goose The Cat, ’90s Music, Stan Lee And More [Interview] By Peter Sciretta/March 7, 2019 8:00 am EST A few weeks ago, I sat down with directors Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden to talk about Captain Marvel. In the discussion, we geeked out over the genius of Ben Mendelsohn, the tightrope walk of making a prequel, choosing a kick-ass ’90s soundtrack, the choice to change Goose’s name from the comics, and Stan Lee’s cameo....

‘Dawn Of The Dead’ At 15: Zack Snyder’s Best Film Is The One With Zombies, Not Superheroes By Joshua Meyer/March 19, 2019 7:00 am EST As it pertains to comic book movies, the name Zack Snyder can be a rather contentious one. Snyder’s filmography reads like a wish list of Hollywood adaptations that a reader of Wizard: The Guide to Comics could have only meekly fantasized about back in the 1990s....

‘Gotham’ Series Finale Poster Brings Out Batman By Chris Evangelista/March 28, 2019 5:30 pm EST All things considered, it’s kind of impressive that Gotham, a show set in the Batman universe, managed to run five whole seasons without Batman. I suppose you could say Smallville did something similar, with Clark Kent not becoming Superman until the very end. Still, it’s odd that it took Gotham this long to bring out the Bat....

By Ben Pearson/May 22, 2019 3:00 pm EST If you threw some comic books, a couple third-person shooter video games, and some B-list action films from the 1980s into a special Movie Blender™, you’d probably end up with the John Wick movies. Then again, depending on the specific content of those ingredients, you might instead end up with the destruction-heavy adventure story Just Cause. So it’s no surprise, then, that John Wick trilogy writer Derek Kolstad has been hired to write the script for a Just Cause movie based on those games....

‘Sadako’ Review: The Director Of ‘Ringu’ Returns To The Franchise With An Underwhelming Sequel [Fantasia Film Festival 2019] By Matt Donato/July 12, 2019 11:00 am EST Ringu director Hideo Nakata returns from whence he came with Sadako, another J-Horror offshoot inspired by Kôji Suzuki’s malevolent novels. Audiences more familiar with Gore Verbinski’s The Ring remake should understand this foreign import favors storytelling over paralyzing scares – or, at least attempts to highlight scripted intrigue....

‘Tales Of The City’ Trailer: Laura Linney Reunites With The Family She Left Behind By Ben Pearson/May 22, 2019 3:30 pm EST With his Before trilogy, Richard Linklater proved himself king of making movies that take place years apart and feature the same characters aging in real time. But that’s not the only ongoing fictional story to use that approach. A new Netflix show called Tales of the City will continue a television story which began as a 1993 adaptation of author Armistead Maupin’s nine-novel series....

Rather than unfolding in typical linear fashion, Bandersnatch has the viewer select options to further the narrative. Make the wrong choice, and it will cost you. The question is: can this even be classified as a movie?...
