Army of the Dead wouldn't be a Zack Snyder picture without some out there theories to discuss.
Hi! My name’s Michael, and today I want to talk to you about time loops.
This time loop is quite the time killer.
Battle is the Great Redeemer. It is the fiery crucible in which true heroes are forged.
It's not hard to imagine why the concept of being trapped in an endless, repetitive nightmare has really resonated with audiences over the last few years, but in the socially distanced pandemic era, it's more #relatable than ever. That might be good news for 6:45, the new indie time-loop horror movie that's been in the works for years and is just now finding its way to audiences. Set in a mysterious island resort called Bog Grove, the film follows a couple who sets out for a relaxing getaway and relationship refresher only to discover the …
I'll be frank with you — I am all about that high-falutin' "interactive experience > video game" life. If a game (or experience, or whatever you wanna call it) pushes the limits of our relationship to it being a "game," offers narrative immersion over typical AAA trappings, and otherwise feels like an art installation, I'm all in, baby! Thus, the trailer for Annapurna Interactive's (yes, like the indie film company who made films like Hustlers and Booksmart) Twelve Minutes is catnip to me. And the gobsmacking A-list cast doesn't hurt, either. James McAvoy and Daisy …
Clear your whiteboard... there's another mystery to solve in the Palm Springs universe!
With the episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. titled “As I Have Always Been,” actress Elizabeth Henstridge, a.k.a. Jemma Simmons, makes her directorial debut, as a time storm is propelling the Zephyr and her S.H.I.E.L.D. teammates toward imminent doom. At the same time, Daisy (Chloe Bennet) and Coulson (Clark Gregg) are stuck in a loop where they’re forced to attempt to save the team over and over, until they finally get it right or are sucked into the raging storm, while all they want to do …

It's a trope defined by one film, but like all fascinating tropes used so many other TV shows, films, and video games, the time loop has become a storytelling tool used by countless creators in the service of unique stories — most recently with the new Hulu film Palm Springs. And like any tool, what makes them fascinating is they can be used in different ways. The list below focuses on Groundhog Day-esque narratives where each repetition resets everything — at least at the beginning, though for many of these narratives things eventually change from loop to loop. (This is …
The first reactions to Joe Carnahan's Boss Level have arrived following a special screening of the action pic at Arclight Cinemas in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. The Collider screening was a big event, with fans and critics alike gathering in the L.A. theater to see what the director behind Smokin' Aces and The Grey had cooked up for them. Among the folks sharing their first reactions to Boss Level was The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, who wrote the movie was "totally great" before remarking, "Nothing like seeing an insanely awesome movie completely cold." Meanwhile, Gizmodo/io9 …
As a longtime fan of Joe Carnahan, I’m very happy to be able to share the World Premiere of the first images from his upcoming sci-fi action thriller Boss Level. The film stars Frank Grillo as a retired special forces soldier that gets stuck in a time loop on the day of his death. As he keeps repeating the day, he’s forced to battle various assassins while also trying to figure out what’s going on. The film also stars Mel Gibson, Naomi Watts, Michelle Yeoh, Annabelle Wallis, Ken Jeong and former New England Patriots tight end …
In The Devil's Advocate, Keanu Reeves' Kevin Lomax gets a somewhat happy ending, at least until a devilish reveal that implies something much worse.
Netflix's new horror movie In the Tall Grass has a twisted ending that's very different from the Stephen King/Joe Hill novella it's based on.
