The first clip from writer-directorDrew Pearce’s new action flickHotel Artemisis here and it offers us a glimpse at the bonkers story that’s about to unfold. Even if you didn’t know that the movie takes place in a dystopian future Los Angeles–and more specifically in a run-down hotel that’s been turned into a clandestine, members-only emergency room for criminals–Hotel Artemisshould have your attention simply for the cast and their performances. We only get a hint at what’s going on in this first clip, but whatever two-time Oscar-winnerJodie Fosteris doing as the “Nurse” is working....

On the surface,Ti West’sXis a throwback to the late ‘70s era of slasher horror movies. You’ve seen the setup plenty of times before: a young group of acquaintances or friends (with one or two couples within it) shacks up in a creaking old house out in the middle of nowhere for a few days. The film does very little to hide its mirroring of the motions that films likeTobe Hooper’sTexas Chainsaw Massacrego through....

In an alternate universe,Avengers: Infinity Warended on a whopper of a cliffhanger, but definitely nowhere near as much of a downer note as that Thanos Snap. Indeed, as the film stands now, it ends with half the universe’s population—including many MCU heroes—evaporating into dust as supervillain Thanos (Josh Brolin) actuallywinsin the end. Not only are the heroes defeated, but their numbers are halved, leaving only the original Avengers team as folks like lil’ Peter Parker (Tom Holland) died horrifically right before our eyes....

We’ve finally reached the climax of the streaming wars. More streaming services may come along, others might merge, but the heavy hitters are all out now, and I’m already exhausted. However,Peacock, the new offering from NBCUniversal, which is owned by Comcast, is an odd duck even among streamers. For starters, it’s an odd hybrid of TV shows and movies that are owned by Universal and run on NBC, but they’ve also got shows and movies that come from other studios and networks (click here for a full listof all the movies and shows on Peacock)...

The future of the MCU may just be getting its start on Disney+. The streaming service will likely be a test kitchen of sorts for new Marvel Comics characters who may transition onto the big screen in the next Phase(s) of the world-famous feature franchise. So just as Disney+ is bringing some big-screen A-list talent to the streaming service to kick things off with slate of spinoff series, so too will they launch live-action shows to spirit superheroes (and supervillains, likely) into theaters....

Did you knowNaomi Scottis inThe Martian? No? I didn’t either - not until I started preparing for her episode ofCollider Ladies Nightand came across a clip of her discussing the movie onJimmy Kimmel Live. Turns out, she had a small role in 2015 box office hit and Academy Award nominee, but the scene that would feature her most heavily wound up being cut from the film. Things like that happen all the time, but one has to image it’d be a huge bummer to get cut from aRidley Scottmovie, especially consideringThe Martianwas one of Scott’s first big Hollywood gigs....

Disney has released a new “special look” at the upcoming live-actionDumbomovie directed byTim Burtonand based on the iconic animated film from 1941. There’s a ton of new footage in there ofColin Farrell’s one-armed performer andDanny DeVitodoing his Danny DeVito circus thing—still very little ofEva Green’s character, unfortunately—but the real main event is, of course, a toss-up between that impressive flying elephant himself and whatever it is that’s going on withMichael Keaton’s wig....
