31 Years Later, Brazil Is Still a Horrifying Vision of the Ever-Encroaching Future

Terry Gilliam’s classic dystopian satire has only gotten more relevant since it came out. Brazil finds its humor in bleak places, mapping out an alternate reality where oppressive state-implemented paranoia makes everyone scared of each other. I’d been planning to re-watch Brazil for a few weeks now and pitched something on it long before the…

The Aliens of Arrival Nearly Looked a Lot Weirder

We don’t get to see too much of Arrival’s mysterious aliens in the movie, but what we do see of the squid-like Heptapod creatures, designed by Carlos Huante, wasn’t always what was planned. Instead, they almost looked much more elaborate. Speaking to Cinemablend about his early concept work for both the aliens and the ships…

Fan-Made Trailer Makes Batman Forever Look… Good?

I saw Batman Forever in a movie theater and, hunky Val Kilmer aside, pretty much haven’t ever wanted to repeat the experience. But a new fan-edited trailer for the 1995 Joel Schumacher-directed Bat-movie is sharp enough to make me reconsider. YouTuber Sam Ibrahim uses Daft Punk music from Tron: Legacy and a keen eye for…

All Eight Harry Potter Movies Edited Down to an 80-Minute Epic

Decided to go marathon all the Harry Potter movies before seeing Fantastic Beasts, but don’t have nearly 20 hours of free time? Well, this extremely cut-down edit of all eight movies into a single film is probably the next best thing to access to a Time Turner. Edited by Tim Stiefler, “Wizardhood” basically condenses the…

Why Adding Grand Moff Tarkin in Rogue One Is Even Better Than Having Darth Vader

Rogue One has a lot of ground to cover as a standalone story that also acts as a direct prequel to the original Star Wars. We already knew Darth Vader was going to be around to provide continuity. Now we seem to have confirmation that there’s going to be another Imperial making an appearance, and…

You Can Watch One of the Best Moments From Moana Right Now

Moana is incredible—and packed with some truly brilliant moments and amazing visuals. But one of the funnest moments of the film is the moment Moana meets demi-god Maui, as he breaks into a boastful song called “You’re Welcome.” Now the studio has released the full scene from the film to watch online. The song itself—sung…

The Assassin’s Creed Movie Has a Very Painful Version of Genetic Time Travel

In the Assassin’s Creed video games, the Animus technology that lets people travel into their DNA’s genetic memories is housed in comfy chairs or beds. In the upcoming movie, using the Animus means getting a needle into your spinal cord. So extreme! Over the course of the many Assassin’s Creed games that have come out…

We Might Finally Know How Rogue One Is Handling Its Opening Crawl

Since the film was announced, the question of whether or not Rogue One would stick with the tradition of the mainline Star Wars films and have its own ‘opening crawl’—has been asked a bunch of times. Disney has seemingly been back and forth on this, but we might actually have an answer now. https://gizmodo.com/disney-doesnt-know-if-rogue-one-should-have-an-opening-1782518238 Making…

New Animatic Teases Our First Glimpses of the New Mutants Movie

We barely know anything about Josh Boone’s upcoming adaptation of young X-Men series New Mutants for Fox, but a purported new series of animated storyboards from the film at least gives us a taste of what heroes we can expect—and the villain they’ll face off against. Coming Soon has posted what appears to be an…

The 15 Most Dysfunctional Families in Scifi, Fantasy, and Horror Movies

This Thanksgiving, differing opinions over the recent election will likely elevate many turkey feasts from merely awkward to utterly agonizing. But instead of crawling under the table, commiserate with these cinematic families, whose dysfunctional drama might even be worse than yours. 15) The Skywalkers, Star Wars Let’s just get the most obvious one out of…

The First Alien: Covenant Poster Is Simple and Scary

Though 2017’s Alien: Covenant is technically a sequel to 2012’s Prometheus, the first poster doesn’t show it. The poster very, very specifically points to the later films in the timeline. The originals that featured a bad ass Sigourney Weaver and an unforgettable villain. Directed by Ridley Scott, Alien: Covenant now opens May 19, 2017 (it…

Watch a New Clip From Passengers and Wonder How Chris Pratt Could Possibly Survive

Passengers is basically a two-person disaster movie IN SPACE and every single moment of it looks designed to keep humans afraid of space travel forever. I know that both Aurora (Jennifer Lawrence) and Jim (Chris) are in this depressurizing airlock, but Jim also has a big ol’ door closed on his torso. It does not…

If Lego Doesn’t Make This Iron Giant Set, It’s Going to Be Sadder Than the Movie

It didn’t quite reach The Lion King’s level of box office success, but since hitting theaters way back in 1999, Brad Bird’s The Iron Giant has gone on to become a much-loved classic film. So much so that it’s about time Lego gave us an official The Iron Giant set, and it just might happen…

Newt Scamander Is the Biggest Idiot in All of Harry Potter History

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is fine. It’s a very pretty movie with a few really good performances (specifically Dan Fogler and Colin Farrell). Unfortunately, the plot requires almost everyone involved to be unforgivably stupid or else the whole story would fall apart. And the stupidest person by far is the hero, Newt…

The Addams Family Movie Is Proof of How Perfectly Faithful an Adaptation Can Be

The Addams Family premiered 25 years ago. Both it and its sequel, Addams Family Values, are strange films. Not because they’re about the Addamses, but because they’re best enjoyed as vignettes—and that aspect actually makes them one of the most faithful movie adaptations out there. The roots of the Addams Family was never in grand…

Here’s How Close We Were to Getting a Boba Fett Movie Directed by Josh Trank

There, a panel had been scheduled featuring directors Gareth Edwards and Josh Trank and each was going to talk about their upcoming Star Wars standalone movies.…

Disney’s Moana Is Damn Near Perfect

Normally when reviewing a movie, you come up with a healthy mix of positive and negative things to say about it. In the case of Disney’s Moana, though, I’m really struggling to come up with the latter. It’s just that wonderful. Where to begin? Well, it’s probably no surprise that the animation is gorgeous.
