Saturday Night Livefinally asked past cast memberWill Forteback to host, and he returned to promote the first season of his showMacGruber. With that came a lot of jokes in Forte’s opening monologue about how his former coworkers all got asked back to host, some multiple times, prior to his return to Studio 8H at Rockefeller Center. Listing people likeJason Sudeikis,Andy Samberg, and more, Forte made it clear that he was both excited for his friends but also angry that he was just now there....

One of the craziest films you’re going to see this year (and maybe this decade) is writer/directorBoots Riley’s debut movie,Sorry to Bother You. Unlike most films that are pretty easy to explain, the less you know aboutSorry to Bother Youthe better, because it’s a film with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. However, the spoiler-free summary would be: It takes place in an alternate present day version of Oakland and follows a telemarketer named Cassius Green (Lakeith Stanfield) who begins rising up the ranks at his office when he’s taught how to use his “white voice”—which is justDavid Crossdubbing all the lines....

[A Note on Spoilers: Usually, I contain what I reveal about a film to what’s been revealed in trailers and the official plot synopsis. However, since directorJ.J. Abramsand Disney have gone out of their way to keep almost everything secret regarding the plot, I’m going to use my personal discretion. The movie has major reveals and twists, but I won’t include them here. If you still want to stay completely free of any plot details, I suggest you avoid reading any reviews until after you see the movie....

In recent years,Steven Soderberghhas established a footprint in the streaming world. Having directed or executive produced content which has gone to Netflix, Quibi, and soon HBO Max (with his new movieLet Them All Talk), Soderbergh has shown a willingness to embrace the growing world of streaming in a noticeable way. With this in mind, it seems natural that Soderbergh might be asked to weigh in on the recent announcement from HBO Max regarding the decision torelease Warner Bros....

Reboots and revivals are a dime a dozen right now, but there are only a handful that feel like that should actually exist. While I never would have conceived of a sequel toTrainspottingwhen it was released in 1996 (well, technically I wasn’t allowed to watch it at that time, but I read the book andthenwatched the movie later!), what we’ve seen so far ofT2: Trainspottingfeels like a really great opportunity to revisit a cult favorite that was so perfectly a product of its time, and in doing so see how much has changed in the last 20 years....

Film prequels have a long history in Hollywood, where they hold a unique place. Some are used to reboot a franchise.

Some prequels build a backstory for a beloved film and/or characters in it:Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Themor the upcomingThe Hunger GamesprequelThe Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes....

At last, it seems like Savitar’s identity will be revealed in the nextFlashepisode, “I Know Who You Are.” This is a very good thing, because the question of Savitar’s identity has both overshadowed and bogged down a season that has been enslaved to this question. What’s worse, in a way, is that we didn’t know Savitar was even someone to be revealed until halfway through the season, when Barry tried to rip his head off....

Last year was Disney’s year. Well, alright, maybe every year is freaking Disney’s year. They have their hands in most of the most profitable franchises currently out there and despite their obvious corporate leanings, they have produced a few great movies recently. The most notable one would have to beDavid Lowery’s magnificent live-action remake ofPete’s Dragon, which featured some of the best use of special effects that I saw in 2017....
