And as you’d expect from any second preview, the new batch of footage is longer, more polished and full of more shots to overly examine, should that be your unhealthy hobby....

‘Harold And The Purple Crayon’ Movie Will Star Zachary Levi By Ben Pearson/Feb. 2, 2021 9:30 am EST Author Crockett Johnson’s 1955 book Harold and the Purple Crayon has been an object of fascination for Hollywood for decades, and it’s easy to see why.

We’re talking really dark! Maybe even Zack Snyder’s Justice League dark.

‘The Falcon And The Winter Soldier’ Ends With The Promise Of “One World, One People” By Adam Frazier/April 23, 2021 7:00 am EST Hello, and welcome to your weekly recap of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. These are meant to be read after watching, so they will go deep into spoiler territory. You have been warned! Previously On… In “Truth,” John F. Walker (Wyatt Russell) was stripped of his title and authority as Captain America after taking the last vial of Dr....

HBO is reportedly working with writers on a potential new season of the dark, moody drama that usually involves at least two detectives tracking a labyrinthine case.

Big Mouth Season 5 Trailer: The Horrors Of Puberty Return Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 15, 2021 5:09 pm EST Puberty is the worst, but having weird, animated, anthropomorphic metaphor monsters somehow makes it easier to deal with. Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg’s coming-of-age animated series for Netflix, “Big Mouth,” is known for its creatures like the hormone monsters, depression kitties, f*ck gremlins, anxiety mosquitoes, and shame wizards. Now, the trailer for “Big Mouth” season 5 previews that there’s even more emotional creepies to worry about....

Dead To Me Season 3: Everything We Know So Far Netflix By BJ Colangelo/Oct. 7, 2021 11:52 am EST Yet another Netflix series is heading toward the end of line, with season 3 of the darkly comedic “Dead to Me” closing up shop. Debuting back in May of 2019, the four-time Emmy-nominated show has stayed a hit throughout the series’ run. Alas, all good things must come to an end and fans of the show are at least fortunate that Netflix has allowed the show to wrap up its story and provide genuine closure....

By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 23, 2021 2:30 pm EST Easy Rawlins, a character played memorably by Denzel Washington in the criminally underrated Devil in a Blue Dress, is getting his own TV series.

HBO Max Developing Two More ‘Game Of Thrones’ Animated Shows, Nixes Flea Bottom Project By Jeremy Mathai/July 16, 2021 9:43 am EST At this point, HBO might as well set aside their own channel dedicated to all things Game of Thrones. Ever since the flagship series came to a divisive end in May of 2019, the search has been on for the next heir apparent to the throne…and unsurprisingly, that will likely involve another Thrones spin-off....

James Bond’s Ben Whishaw Weighs In On The ‘Radical’ Changes He Thinks The Franchise Needs MGM By Jeremy Mathai/Sept. 29, 2021 2:40 pm EST As prestigious (and lucrative) as the James Bond gig appears from the outside looking in, I’ve come to the conclusion that it must be a weirdly thankless position to be in. Imagine being Daniel Craig, and instead of everyone celebrating your remarkable run as the title character upon the conclusion of “No Time to Die,” the internet is mostly just looking ahead and fan-casting their personal choices for your replacement, while everyone involved in the franchise is commenting on where things should be taken next....

Latest ‘Captain Marvel’ TV Spot Is Loaded With New Footage, ’90s Jams By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 8, 2019 9:05 am EST There’s a new Captain Marvel TV spot, and it’s fun! The footage on display here is almost all entirely new, and it heavily plays up the fact that the movie has jokes in it. Whether or not this is a reaction to nonsensical fanboy reaction that Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel should “smile more” is up for debate, but the fact of the matter is, this is a great TV spot, featuring some serious ’90s tunes to boot....

LeVar Burton Finally Guest-Hosted ‘Jeopardy’ Last Night And It Felt…Right By Jeremy Mathai/July 27, 2021 7:46 am EST Fan-driven internet campaigns have certainly become A Thing in recent years and, unfortunately, they can be rather hit-or-miss. Many focus on trivial and hate-filled demands instead of bringing awareness to anything more meaningful. Fortunately, that was not the case with the online push in favor of LeVar Burton, former host of the Reading Rainbow educational program and most well-known for his turn as Geordi La Forge in Star Trek: The Next Generation, to become the next host of Jeopardy!...

Mad Max Primer: Is ‘Fury Road’ A Sequel Or Prequel? Should You See 3D? By Russ Fischer/May 15, 2015 2:15 pm EST Mad Max: Fury Road is in theaters now, and it is a triumph.

And for good reason: it is a staggering piece of work, and an exhilarating theatrical ride....

The Prestige Warner Bros. Released in 2006, “The Prestige” wasn’t Johansson’s big break — she’d already worked on several Woody Allen films, and had been a part of movies with large budgets and critical acclaim. Still, “The Prestige” helped catapult Johansson’s career further by pushing the boundaries of what she was known for doing. “The Prestige” is a psychological thriller that follows the rivalry between two London magicians, Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale), at the end of the 19th Century....
