‘The Suicide Squad’ Trailer: James Gunn’s Supervillains Are Dying To Save The World By Chris Evangelista/March 26, 2021 9:01 am EST Harley Quinn and the gang are dying to save the world in The Suicide Squad trailer. After David Ayer’s wildly disappointing first film, the franchise is now in the hands of James Gunn and based on the footage below, that’s for the best.

Haikyu!! Sentai Filmworks Animated by Production I.G, “Haikyu!!” should transport athletes back to their fondest memories on the court or the field, but will also capture the hearts of non-athletes, too. Yes, an anime about volleyball strategy may sound pedantic, but when the facts are delivered by characters you care about, you can’t help but get wrapped up in the action. Although he’s only 5’ 4”, high school student Shoyo vies for the ace position on his school volleyball team....

By Hoai-Tran Bui/April 14, 2021 8:44 am EST Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind turned 35 last year, but it’s never too late to celebrate a stone-cold classic. Hayao Miyazaki’s fantasy epic, which would become the inaugural film for the animation titan Studio Ghibli, has a haunting new art print courtesy of artist Karl Fitzgerald, whose work is debuting on Bottleneck Gallery today. Fitzgerald, known for his dark and moody takes on blockbusters and fantasy epics, turns to two Japanese classics with his new art prints for Bottleneck Gallery: Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and Seven Samurai....

Chicken Little (2005) Computer animation is a tricky thing — what seems cutting edge yesterday might look decrepit tomorrow. That’s just one reason why Chicken Little is such an unpleasant film to watch now. The first fully computer-animated film within the Walt Disney Animation Studios canon plainly looks hideous, because the technology enabling its design was apparently stuck in the late 1990s. This full-length adaptation of one of the most well-known children’s fables has a lot of other problems, though, such as how its basic story of a nervous chicken mistakenly thinking the sky is falling turns into…a tale of facing off against extraterrestrials (because, you see, in this version, the sky literally is falling)....

Disney’s ‘Princess And The Frog’ Ride Concept Art Reveals A New Take On Splash Mountain By Josh Spiegel/Aug. 23, 2021 2:45 pm EST Remember how, in the midst of the insanity of the world last summer, Disney announced that the longtime favorite log-flume attraction Splash Mountain would be overhauled at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World?

Listen To The Full Song From Hawkeye’s Rogers: The Musical Disney Press Site By Jenna Busch/Nov. 24, 2021 5:06 pm EST If you’ve watched the first episode of “Hawkeye,” Marvel’s latest Disney+ offering, you’ve seen a bit of “Rogers: The Musical.” Even if you’ve only checked out the trailer, you’ve seen a glimpse of it.

LOL: ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ Just The F Words Edit By Peter Sciretta/April 23, 2014 2:30 pm EST You may have heard that Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street holds the record for the most F-bombs in a narrative feature film (the documentary “F***” obviously wins the all time record). ScreenJunkies decided to create a two-and-a-half minute cut of the film featuring only the F words said in the movie....

Michael Shannon Walks Back Those Zod Flipper Hands Comments By Angie Han/Sept. 2, 2015 8:00 am EST A few weeks ago, Michael Shannon sent the Internet in a tizzy when he casually revealed Zod would have flippers for hands in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Did this back up certain rumors about a certain transformation? Was he actually talking about flippers, or just flipper-shaped prosthetics? For that matter, why’s Zod in Batman v Superman at all?...
