Earlier this month we brought you the trailer and details for the upcomingBatman v Superman: The Ultimate Edition, the upcoming R-rated extended cut of Batman v Superman that features 30 minutes of new footage. If you were lamenting having to watch the bigger, badder cut of the film on your home media, we’ve got good news.

[This is a repost of our review from the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.Boys Stateis out today on AppleTV+] If youfollow me on Twitter, you know that I’m too obsessed with politics. I tweet more about national politics than I do about movies, which makes my Twitter feed a real disappointment. As the documentaryBoys Statestarted to unfold, I wondered why I was watching a movie that’s a parable about national politics when I clearly consume too much of that in my media diet as it stands....

WhenStar Wars: The Force Awakensopened in theaters to a massive, record-breaking opening weekend, we knew the film was big. But it was only in the ensuing weeks that we discovered how huge a box office juggernaut the movie would be. It continued to dominate the box office chart, breaking record-after-record as it soared to $815.8 million domestic—the first film to ever cross the $800 million threshold domestically. That was enough to unseatJames Cameron’s top two films here in the states, surpassingAvatar’s previous record of $760....

The series starsBenjamin Wadsworthas a new student attending an upscale private academy for the rich children of crime family bosses. Some are also apparently samurais. A lot going on here, should be a good time. This show actually does continue to look like a blast-and-a-half, withAvengersalumBenedict Wonglending some authority to a young CW-esque cast and a story that looks like a cross betweenKick-Assand a much more violent, R-ratedSky High....

If you’ve seenDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness— or indeed any of the promotional materials around the movie, from the first trailer and onwards — you’ll know that one of the first big baddies the heroes face off against is… a giant slimy eyeball. With tentacles. And it’s incredibly dangerous. Well! Marvel just announced that said giant slimy eyeball, better known as Gargantos, will be joining the expansive roster of phone puzzle gameMarvel Puzzle Quest....

Truth be told, I’m not sure we quite deserveEmily Blunt. The British actress, who most American audiences met as the motor-mouthed, misanthropic assistant toMeryl Streep’snow-iconic Miranda Priestly in 2006, has quickly become a big box office name, who seems to be one of the few modern day come ups to still feel like a bona fide “movie star” thanks to her unique brand of self-deprecating charm undercut with impressive elegance. Oscillating quite easily between comedy (managing to charm even in lesser vehicles likeThe Five Year Engagement), drama and, most recently, action, she’s an increasingly rare triple threat, and one Hollywood seems to finally be sitting up and taking notice of....

With directorBen Wheatley’sFree Fireopening next weekend, I recently sat down withSharlto CopleyandSam Rileyto talk about making the film. During the interview they reveal how they got involved in the project, how Copley came up with his character’s accent and springing it on the cast on the first day, how much was improvised in the moment, how the script got funnier as they were shooting, doing long takes, what it was like on set, and a lot more....

Escaping the present world can lead one to immerse themselves in the past.But where classic depictions of historical societies are well-beloved and romanticized by fans, recently there has been a cinematic phenomenon of modernizing the period piece. Whether it be through the use of modern music, dialogue, or characterizations, more films and TV shows are opting to give a fresh take on the portrayals of history.

With the obvious exception ofPulp Fiction, no 1990s property starringJohn Travoltahas aged half as well asGet Shorty. Sure, sure,Broken Arrowis still a blast if you don’t pay attention to all the…talking, and the same goes forFace/Off.She’s So Lovelyis also pretty good, though it’s hard to not imagine how the film, based onJohn Cassavetes' last script, would have looked with the independent-film icon behind the camera.Get Shorty, however, stands on its own merits as a great, swiftly paced comedic take on the odd mechanics of Hollywood and its kin in the world of crime....

Harrison Fordhas become a Hollywood icon thanks to a career that has charmed audiences around the world for over four decades at this point. In recent years, it’s become evident that the actor isn’t stopping any time soon, and now, he’s made it clear that staying in front of the camera for a while is actually his intention. During a recent interview on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” (viaVariety), theIndiana Jonesactor gave his perspective regarding why he doesn’t retire from acting, and the reasons behind him looking so motivated within the industry at this point of his journey....

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersforSearch Party, Episodes 1 through 6.] For three seasons,Search Partyhas maintained a perfect marriage between theme and genre.

Seen one way, four friends covering up a murder as twenty-somethings figuring out their place in the world with minimal street smarts might not be very funny....
