Ryan Reynoldsmay not have any notable award wins on his mantle just yet, but the fan-favorite actor’s dedication to his craft remains admirable. Case in point, a new video that shows the lengths to which he’ll go to embody the role of everyone’s favorite electric mouse Pokémon inDetective Pikachu.The man gave up his family, his height, his “People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive” physique, and more just for a chance to fully inhabit the character of the 1'4", 13-pound Pikachu....

Taylor Swiftnow has the chance to own the rights to her music. According toPage Six, Shamrock Holdings may allow the ‘Love Story’ singer to buy back the masters of all six of her albums for a very steep price tag of $600 million to $1 billion. This announcement is shocking as the pop artist has already re-recorded most of her music, with only two albums remaining -ReputationandDebut. Swift has been on a mission to re-record her old albums after her old label, Big Machine, didn’t give her the option to purchase the rights to her art and sold them toScooter Braun, who then sold it to the private equity firm for $300 million....

Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers forShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law Episode 8.All that time we spent wondering if Titania (Jameela Jamil)was the big badonShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and it turns out the real villain is bigger and worse than we could have imagined. Forget Thanos, the most terrifying big bad in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a covert organization named Intelligencia. We knew they were bad news when they were first name-dropped as a group for “hateful man babies,” but they are much more violent than expected — and they have a vendetta against Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany)....

As I suggested last week, whenSouth Parkdecided to take on the cult of celebrity that surroundedCaitlyn Jenner,Trey ParkerandMatt Stonetook this week’s episode to, er, comment on the possibility of aDonal Trumppresidency. And as anyone familiar with the show may have expected, the criticism of Trump’s batshit ideas was not subtle, cresting with Trump, positioned as the President of Canada in the episode, getting raped by an enraged Mr. Garrison. Of course, the appearance of a cartoon Trump was only the punchline to a larger joke pointed directly at those who decry immigration, and Mr....

WhileJ.J. Abramsis the director at the helm ofStar Wars: The Force Awakens, the head of all thingsStar Warsfor the foreseeable future isKathleen Kennedy. The prolific and extremely gifted producer stepped in as president of Lucasfilm whenGeorge Lucasleft the company, and as filmmakers will come and go over the course of this franchise, Kennedy remains the creative constant through it all. And indeed, with a property this big there are massive plans to keep it going for as long as possible....

After opening to stellar per-theater-average box office in limited release earlier this month, Universal’s unique spin on the biopic genreSteve Jobsexpanded wide this weekend to…less than stellar results. Indeed, the critically acclaimed drama pulled in just $7.1 million from over 2,400 screens despite glowing reviews, a buzzy structure, and a stacked ensemble cast. Clearly this isn’t the kind of performance that Universal intended (though it is one that Sony Pictures headAmy Pascalcautioned when the film was set up at Sony), but does this mean that the potential Oscar contender is now dead in the water in terms of awards chances?...

With guaranteed thrills and dozens of subgenres ranging from psychological terrors to monster movie slashers, the horror genre has always been one of cinema’s most vast, innovative, and most vibrant. As such, it has amassed a huge cult following of dedicated fans who have nothing but adoration for the stars who continue to contribute their talents to the genre. While there have been many scream queens who have become celebrated icons of horror, there have also been plenty of actors who have endeared themselves to fans for their commitment to the genre....

Happy November! Spooky season is passed (though it lives forever in our hearts), “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” lies ahead, and as usual,Netflixis keeping the people fed with binge-worthy new shows all month. But there’s always so dang much new material, so if you’re wondering what to watch on Netflix this month, we’ve got you covered with a week-to-week guide to all the best new shows and old favorites arriving on streaming in November....

The conclusion ofThe Flash’s fourth season answered one mystery and opened up another one. We learnedwho the mystery girl is, but not how she made a time-based mistake that Team Flash will surely be cleaning up in Season 5. That’s not all of the cleaning up that the show needs to do for Season 5, though (as per my list of things the showstill needs to fix). But there have already been a lot of shakeups in the off-season, includingHartley Sawyer, who plays Ralph Dibney, being upped to aseries regular, alongside themystery girl herself....

Illumination Entertainment has released the firstThe Grinchtrailer. For those who have never read or seen the Christmas classic, the story follows The Grinch (Benedict Cumberbatch), who plans to steal Christmas, but eventually experiences heart-enlargement when he sees the citizens of Who-ville being so good to each other. This Illumination film is co-directed byYarrow Cheney(The Secret Life of Pets) and, curiously enough,Kevin Smith’s longtime producing partnerScott Mosier. It’s an interesting pairing that could result in something genuinely new from the studio behind theDespicable Mefranchise, but this trailer is mostly concerned with familiarity as it unsurprisingly opens with a nod to theDespicable Meseries....

WhileThe Mediumcertainly grabbed our attention with itsclever and ambitious gameplay trailer, I wasn’t able to grab the game itself since it’s only on Xbox (which I don’t have) and PC (of which I have a baked potato). Thankfully, there are quite a few folks on the internet who are blessed enough to have such gaming devices, doubly so that they’ve shared their thoughts on the new Bloober Team title. I’ve compiled some of the best takes together to share with you here, and boy are they divided....
