Disney has released a recap video for the first season of The Mandalorian. What’s funny about this video is that it’s a reminder that not much happened in that first season. To make sure they were able to pull off the VFX, the showrunners scaled back on plotting, and kept the first season largely episodic. All you really need to know about in the first season comes from the pilot and the season finale. There’s a bounty hunter known only as The Mandalorian, he’s sent to retrieve an asset that turns out to be a child, …
Each year, the Sundance Film Festival offers dozens of indie gems, and though I missed it myself, many critics considered writer-director Tara Miele's drama Wander Darkly one such gem. The film stars Sienna Miller and Diego Luna as a couple who suffer a traumatic car accident which leaves them in a surreal state of being that takes them on a disorienting journey through the duality of their shared moments. Together, they relive and reflect on the past to see how they'll navigate their uncertain future and rediscover the love that binds them. [caption id="attachment_872436" align="alignright" …
Warner Bros. is all geared up to drop $20 to $30 million on Zack Snyder's unfinished cut of Justice League so that "The Snyder Cut" will be available to fans to stream on HBO Max sometime next year. So you best believe the studio and the new streaming network -- which launches on May 27th -- are already all-hands-on-deck when it comes to the movie's marketing machine. And that first bit of marketing is here with a new cut of yesterday's livestream of Man of Steel, in which Snyder offered commentary on the film before inviting …

While we wait (and wait ... and wait) for a Season 2 announcement for Netflix's incredible 2019 event series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, we now have another awesome reason to revisit the Jim Henson franchise. En Masse Entertainment has delivered an epic and addicting game in The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics, a turn-based tactical strategy game developed by BonusXP and based on the Netflix Original Series. The title is now available (!) for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC/Mac players. But is it worth your $20? (Here's where I mention that I …
Bill Murray is again stuck repeating Groundhog Day, only this time it's a Super Bowl commercial in which Bill and Punxsutawney Phil steal a Jeep.
Based on the non-stop ass-kicking Avengers: Endgame keeps laying down at the box office, it's safe to say just about everyone and their mother has seen Marvel's latest -- probably more than once. So, it makes sense that Disney has finally decided to release some spoilery images from the back half of the film, teasing the epic battle against NuThanos. Now, they haven't released images for all the big moments -- there's no HD snapshot (wink) of anyone wielding the gauntlet, no Old Man Cap, or any sob-worthy funeral photos, but if you've been …
For four song-filled seasons, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has told the story of Rebecca Bunch as she gave up a successful career in New York and moved to West Covina, California in an attempt to be… happy. In the process, Rebecca made new friends, struggled with her mental health, and found herself torn between three potential boyfriends.
15 minutes into Jacob Estes’ new movie Relive, I wrote down in my notebook who I thought the killer was. I was right. Even though Estes wants his movie to be a twisty, time-traveling thriller, the narrative is too confined to cliches to ever branch out into something unexpected. It’s like Estes pitched a generic crime thriller, the pitch was rejected, and he added, “Uh, what if time travel was involved somehow?” and Blumhouse said, “Here is your low budget. Make sure none of the extras have any lines even if they see someone bleeding to death.” Instead …
