14 Women Directing Genre Movies We’re Excited to Watch

The Oscars (and most Hollywood awards, for that matter) might be notorious for ignoring women directors but fortunately, genre cinema doesn’t feel the same way. In fact, some of our most anticipated superhero, fantasy, sci-fi, and horror films are directed by women. Imagine that! Not all of these are being released this year, but here…

There’s an Invisible Woman Movie in the Works, But It’s Not Sue Storm

As Universal Pictures continues to diversify and surprise with its upcoming slate of monster movies, Elizabeth Banks is stepping into the mix. Banks will reportedly direct a new, original take on the Invisible Woman for the studio. (Not to be confused with the Invisible Woman character from Marvel’s Fantastic Four, Sue Storm. This is not…

8 of the Wackiest Charlie’s Angels Episodes

Elizabeth Banks’ new take on Charlie’s Angels hits theaters on November 15, and rather than wondering if it’s a necessary addition to the franchise (or how that first Drew Barrymore film is 19 years old?), we thought we’d go old-school and revisit the original TV series, which ran for five seasons starting in 1976. ABC…

In the New Charlie’s Angels Trailer, ‘Bad Girls’ Never Looked So Good

You may not be able to call them angels, but there’s something else you can call this trio of femme fighters: Bad Girls. “Toot toot, yeah, beep beep.” The new trailer for Charlie’s Angels amps up the fun, with a look at Patrick Stewart’s Bosley and a fun Easter Egg from the original film. Charlie’s…

‘Don’t Call Me Angel’ Makes Me Worry for Charlie’s Angels

Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, and Lana Del Rey are talented performers who, despite their fondness for cultural appropriation, have all cranked out more than their fair share of legitimately fantastic music. “Don’t Call Me Angel,” the new single tied to Elizabeth Banks’ upcoming Charlie’s Angels, is not a particularly bright spot on any of their…

I Spy at Least One Dance Number in the Charlie’s Angels Trailer

Don’t call them angels: Call them Charlie’s Angels. The first trailer is here for Elizabeth Banks’ Charlie’s Angels, which brings Kristen Stewart and Ella Balinska to the rescue for a scientist-turned-whistleblower (Naomi Scott) trying to save the world from catastrophe. This latest Charlie’s Angels isn’t a reboot or a reimagining but rather works as a…

Brightburn Is an Entertaining Superhero Horror Story Told in a Very Clunky Way

The biggest compliment I can give Brightburn is that, when it ended, I would have sat through a sequel immediately. It’s a film that blends two popular genres to create a scenario and world that are fascinating and terrifying, and you instantly want to learn more about them. Unfortunately, all of that is sprinkled around…

R-Rated Puppet Comedy The Happytime Murders Is a Massive Disappointment

The Happytime Murders is a poorly paced, visually bland R-rated comedy that has a lot of ideas, none of which ever come together. It’s built around a great idea—a dirty detective comedy for adults starring both puppets and humans—but outside of a few big laughs, it disappoints on almost every level. Directed by Brian Henson,…

I Put My Hand Up a Puppet’s Ass on the Set of The Happytime Murders

While I did put my hand inside a puppet on the set of the upcoming R-rated puppet comedy The Happytime Murders, the film’s director made one thing very clear: “It’s not graphically sexual,” Brian Henson said. “The puppets cum silly string, but you don’t see their penises.” Well. This is certainly not what one would…
