If you’re still flummoxed as to how an ambitious double-feature release fromQuentin TarantinoandRobert Rodriguezbombed at the box office, Tarantino has some thoughts on whyGrindhouselanded with a thud. In the mid-2000s, after taking significant time off following the release ofJackie Brown, Tarantino was on something of a filmmaking tear. He completed and released the two-part epicKill Bill, he served as a “special guest director” on Rodriguez’sSin City, and he even directed an episode of the then-massively popular TV seriesCSI....

As the show gears up for its seventh season, creator and showrunnerRoberto Aguirre-Sacasahas offered a first glimpse of the upcoming season, sharing the script cover for the first episode of Season 7 — and with it the premiere’s title.

Paramount has released the second trailer forRocketman, the fantasy-biopic mash-up directed byDexter Fletcherthat starsTaron Egertonas five-time Grammy-winning iconElton John. The film also starsBryce Dallas Howard(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom),Richard Madden(Game of Thrones),Jamie Bell(Fantastic Four), andGemma Jones(Bridget Jones' Baby). What’s a little disappointing about this trailer is that John is a larger-than-life performer and the previous trailer showed that they were going to follow that by moving more along the lines of a fantasy that channels the music and personality of John rather than playing by the standard biopic beats....

There’s a lot to love about the newScreammovie, but a personal favorite component is the introduction to the mother/son relationship betweenMarley Shelton’s Judy Hicks andDylan Minnetteas Wes. We were first introduced to Judy inScream 4when she was a Woodsboro deputy who idolized Sheriff Dewey Riley (David Arquette) and often expressed that admiration by baking him lemon squares. Judy also steps up in a big way in the tail end ofScream 4, so to learn she’s earned the role of sheriff this time around isn’t all that much of a surprise....

Ahead of tonight’s trailer debut, Sony and Marvel have unveiled the first official image fromSpider-Man: Homecoming. While we’ve certainly seen plenty ofTom Holland’s new Spider-Man in bothCaptain America: Civil Warand the bevy of set photos that surfaced during production, we actually haven’t yet seen an official image from the new movie—until now. It’s not crazy revealing as we just see Holland’s Peter Parker standing atop a train, unmasked, but it does give us a nice look at the full suit....

Star Warsisn’t a franchise one typically associates withromance. If we really dive into things, however,tension, kisses, and heartbreaking endings characterize the series as much as lightsaber duels and spaceship dogfights. A rebellion can’t thrive without love, andStar Warsvalues all kinds of love — familial, platonic, and romantic. However,Star Warsalso loves inevitable tragedies. One might almost say it specializes in them,given how few happy endings its romantic couples have lived to see....
