The 12 Best War Movies On Netflix Right Now Screen Media Films By Liam Gaughan/Aug. 27, 2021 2:56 pm EST While war films are commonly thought of as grand, sweeping epics, the genre is far from uniform. War films can be about conflicts that are both historical or fictitious, and can incorporate elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, action, and even comedy. Some films focus on soldiers in the heat of conflict, but there are many types of wartime heroes: spies, civilians, outside observers, and historical figures....

By Ryan Scott/Sept. 17, 2021 1:15 pm EST “Malignant,” the latest horror flick from James Wan, was released last week and it rightfully generated a great deal of conversation online, largely thanks to that totally bonkers ending.

The Suicide Squad: Things Only Comics Fans Will Know About Bloodsport Warner Bros. Pictures By Kirk Boxleitner/Oct. 7, 2021 4:37 pm EST At first glance, it’s hard to classify Robert DuBois as a success, even by the charitable standards of fictional supervillains, who by their very nature are fated to lose and fail. His codename, Bloodsport, is bland, and his uniform of a red bandana, black tank top, and camouflage pants does little to distinguish him from the countless other quasi-military combatants who were fashionable in superhero comics from the late ’80s to the early ’90s....

Unidentified Trailer: Demi Lovato Is A Self-Proclaimed ‘UFO Experiencer’ Peacock By Shania Russell/Sept. 10, 2021 4:53 pm EST Reality TV is peaking, right before our very eyes. This summer Netflix gave us the cosmic horror of a sexy devil making out with a mandril, and HBO Max dropped a show that’s actually called “F**k Boy Island.” None of these sentences make any sense, but I’m here to report that Demi Lovato saw a UFO in the California desert, so they made a Peacock show about it....

‘Black Widow’ Director Cate Shortland Was Unsure Of The Whole Superhero Movie Thing, Tried Dodging Scarlett Johansson’s Calls By Shania Russell/July 6, 2021 7:12 am EST At first glance, Cate Shortland is not the obvious choice to direct a superhero movie — her three prior films are dark dramas about women in complex, distressing situations. And while Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) is a complicated character with her fair share of tragedy, MCU movies have a history of skirting past darkness with levity and humor....

Following the latest Fast and Furious installment’s release in China and South Korea last week, F9’s box office haul has already begun breaking records. And as the film release expands to the States in June, we can probably expect even more records to be shattered....

‘Fear Street Part 2: 1978’ Review: A Violent, Melancholy Sequel That Can’t Quite Match The First Movie By Chris Evangelista/July 7, 2021 9:00 am EST The Fear Street saga continues with Fear Street Part 2: 1978, a less-successful sequel that still manages to thrill and surprise. Fear Street Part 1: 1994 was a tribute to the late ’90s slasher revival that was launched with the game-changing Scream. 1978 strives for another era – the days of The Burning and Friday the 13th (two movies, I should add, that actually came out in the ’80s, not the ’70s)....

‘Pacific Rim: The Black’ Un-Cancels The Apocalypse, For Better Or Worse By Joshua Meyer/March 8, 2021 9:00 am EST The single most memorable line of the Pacific Rim franchise came in the first movie when Idris Elba’s battle-armored mech marshal, Stacker Pentecost, proclaimed, “Today, we are canceling the apocalypse!” In the first season of Pacific Rim: The Black, which hit Netflix on March 4, Stacker’s name is now relegated to Easter-egg status among a new generation of Jaeger pilots....

‘The Suicide Squad’ Synopsis Promises A Superhero Film Full Of Degenerate Delinquents By Chris Evangelista/Feb. 3, 2021 9:00 am EST The Suicide Squad is bound to be one of 2021’s must-see films. James Gunn has traveled from the MCU to DCEU to create a film that will hopefully wash the horrible taste of 2016’s Suicide Squad out of our mouths. While Gunn’s film is bringing back several actors from the first movie, The Suicide Squad appears to be a reboot of sorts....
