Original Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd Offers His Slightly Biased Review of the New Film

Dan Aykroyd has a cameo in this summer’s Ghostbusters reboot, so it’s not like his opinion comes without a certain bias—obviously, he wants the movie to do well.

Black Magic Unleashes White-Hot Terror in This Awesomely Evil Turkish Horror Trailer

We’re either bummed or glad that this trailer for Üç Harfliler 3 is the first we’ve heard of Turkish filmmaker Alper Mestçi. Bummed, because clearly we’ve been missing out on what looks like a talented rising star—or glad, because his freakishly disturbing imagery is guaranteed nightmare fodder.

A Drill-Powered Skateboard Is the Silliest Way to Get Around Town

Boosted boards—those snazzy electric longboards—are in high demand, and they’re expensive. Fully decked out, one of these is going to run $1,600. And they won’t ship until late July at the absolute earliest. There’s an obvious solution—but it’s not easily embarrassed.

Of Course There Were Plans for Even More Wolverine in X-Men Apocalypse

The X-Men movies just can’t quit Wolverine, it seems.

But it turns out his savage appearance in Apocalypse could’ve been even…

Jeremy Irons Promises that Justice League Won’t Be as Messy as Batman v Superman

Batman v Superman had some great moments, but overall, it was the hottest of messes when it came to setting up DC’s cinematic universe. Most people agree on that, so when even Alfred Pennyworth himself chimes in, he’s preaching to the choir. Thankfully though, he says Justice League won’t have that same problem. Speaking to…

The latest X-Men movie is sadly a bit of a bummer, with grand scale but no soul. But what if Fox had included it in its plans to slap an R-rating on every superhero movie it had going in the wake of Deadpool’s smashing success? It probably wouldn’t be as goofy as this parody trailer…
