The Kid Who Would Be King Is a Solid, Feel-Good Adventure Film

If I were 10 years old, The Kid Who Would Be King would be my favorite movie. I’d watch it every day, twice on Sunday, run wild with a fake sword, and pretend to save the world with my friends. As an adult, the film didn’t have quite that impact on me but it’s easy…

Christopher McQuarrie Is Making Two More Mission Impossible Movies Back to Back

The sixth Mission: Impossible film, Fallout, may have been the franchise’s best yet.

10 Cloverfield Lane Director Dan Trachtenberg Will Chart the Uncharted Movie

The Uncharted movie lives, dies, lives, dies, and now lives again! This thing has more high-stakes action than most Uncharted quick time events do, frankly. Sony has been trying to get a movie adaptation of the beloved Naughty Dog action-adventure franchise—following the globetrotting exploits of mercenary-shooter/treasure hunter Nathan Drake—for so long, Uncharted fanboy Nathan Fillion…

Before you click to watch, please note the…

Cobie Smulders Proves You Can Talk About Marvel Movies Without Spoiling Them

Marvel Cinematic Universe press tours are somewhat notorious for letting pretty hardcore spoilers drop. Mark Ruffalo and Tom Holland, in particular, tend to, whether accidentally or not, just let things drop. Cobie Smulders, aka Agent Maria Hill, is made of stronger stuff.

Watch the Beautiful, Sweeping End Credits Sequence for Aquaman Online

Watching the end credits to a movie might seem like an odd endeavor. But most end credits sequences aren’t this incredible to look at, either. Created by VFX firm Filmograph, these credits feature a colorful, massive series of CG dioramas of Aquaman’s operatic ocean setting.

No One Told Sterling K. Brown What Accent He Would Need for Black Panther

One of the challenges of developing the cinematic world of Black Panther was dialect—deciding on the accent and inflection of Wakandan speech. Lots of hard work went into developing the language of Wakanda. Only no one told Sterling K. Brown. Brown, you recall, plays N’Jobu, a character who plays an essential role in an early…

This Bleak Star Wars Fan Film Takes Hamlet to Tatooine

The quintessential concern of Shakespeare’s Hamlet is moral paralysis. Is what I’m doing meaningful? Does my life have any meaning? In one of the most famous soliloquies of all time, Hamlet considers this question with poetic precision—to be, or not to be? “Squad Leader TD-73028 Soliloquy” combines that famous speech with the aesthetics and mood…

Glass Is a Frustrating, Unsatisfying Conclusion to the Unbreakable Saga

Nineteen years ago, I saw M. Night Shyamalan’s Unbreakable and fell in love. To this day, it’s one of my favorite movies of all time.
