Now that we’ve gotten another glimpse of how the Skywalker saga will come to an end with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker , fans are speculating wildly about how the story will unfold, especially with that shot of Rey wearing a Sith robe and wielding a modified, double-bladed red lightsaber. Beyond that, much of the speculation has been regarding how J.J. Abrams will deal with the story developments from Star Wars: The Last Jedi . And for everyone who thought that Abrams had to fix or undo what Rian Johnson did with his Star Wars sequel in order to make the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ending work, think again. In a red carpet interview from The D23 Expo last weekend, J.J. Abrams said, despite what some fans think, The Last Jedi didn’t change anything about the trajectory of the story that the director envisioned when he started working on Star Wars: The Force Awakens . Abrams told The Associated Press (via ET Canada ): “The story that we’re telling, the story that we sta

The anticipation for the standalone comic book movie Joker has been high. Following the recent final trailer for the origin story of Batman’s arch nemesis, the excitement has been even higher. And now we finally have the first official reviews and reactions to the movie following the film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Has director Todd Phillips crafted something that will satisfy longtime fans and general audiences alike? Does Joaquin Phoenix deliver an Oscar-worthy performance? Find out what the critics are saying in the first Joker reviews below. Our own Peter Sciretta caught the movie and posted his thoughts to Twitter: Joker feels like if Scorsese made Taxi Driver as a comic book film. Amazing performance, great score, but I’m not sure it knows what it’s trying to say. Could potentially be dangerous for the wrong person to watch. Some fun twists that make me want to see it again and discuss. — Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) August 31, 2019 Before we get to the ful

People left their homes and went to the movies this summer, shelling out what is expected to be $4.868 billion by Monday, +1% from the same period last year which started at the end of April and lasted through Labor Day, and a few dollars shy of 2013’s $4.872B all-time record per Comscore.

There will be before Joker . And there will be after Joker . Nothing will be the same after, we'll be living in a whole new world. That's not even hyperbole, just the truth. I don't know if the world is ready for this movie. Or maybe it is? We'll find out soon enough. There's no stopping it now. I can't believe it exists. But it does, and it's coming. And no matter if we're ready or not, it's going to make an impact. Director Todd Phillips ' new take on the origin of the DC Comics villain known as " The Joker " just premiered at the Venice Film Festival and oh my goodness, it is crazy. It is GNARLY. It is audacious. It doesn't hold back. It's subversive, provocative, dark, demented, twisted, and terrifying. Joker will likely end up being one of the most divisive movies of the decade, with some people hating it with a passion, others heralding it as a bold masterpiece. It must be said, without a doubt, that this Joker movie w

There’s a lot riding on Terminator: Dark Fate . After Terminator Salvation and Terminator: Genisys disappointed audiences, there’s a lot of skepticism about whether or not Terminator can actually continue as a viable franchise. That’s especially true after both of those previous films were intended to kick off new trilogies. But it sounds like zero lessons have been learned by Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions, because they’re hoping for a new Terminator trilogy yet again. During an interview with Deadline , producer James Cameron revealed that he crafted the story with director Tim Miller and producer David Ellison of Skydance before they took the pitch to Linda Hamilton . He explained: “We spent several weeks breaking story and figuring out what type of story we wanted to tell so we would have something to pitch Linda. We rolled up our sleeves and started to break out the story and when we got a handle on something we looked at it as a three-film arc, so there is a

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? This week, we talk about terminal illness, watch one comedian talk about mid-life as another comedian talks about his struggle with depression, talk with a billionaire, and then see what Crispin Glover is up to. Bill Burr: Paper Tiger Director Mike Binder is capturing comedian Bill Burr in all his irascible glory. As a fan of his work, this looks like more of the same but that couldn’t be more of a compliment. The man doesn’t have a gimmick and has always been true to his comedic roots in how he has approached his craft. While this trailer follows the usual set up and then punchline, rinse and repeat, the jokes feel fresh and hi

Issa López ‘s  Tigers Are Not Afraid is earning raves from everyone who sees it – including filmmaker Guillermo del Toro . Now, López and del Toro are teaming up for a  werewolf Western . If that doesn’t excite you at least a little, you should probably check your pulse. And while I’m sure the movie will be classier than just a series of scenes where werewolves wear cowboy hats and fire six-shooters, I wouldn’t complain if that’s all it turns out to be. Tigers Are Not Afraid is now playing in select theaters, and the buzz for the movie isn’t letting up. The Spanish-language Mexican horror movie had its premiere last year at Fantastic Fest, and it’s been riding a wave of praise ever since. That praise has been coming from some big names, too. Stephen King said: “This is one terrific film… two minutes in, I was under its spell.” And Neil Gaiman stated: “A fairytale for today, beautiful shocking and chilling, it celebrates the power of belief and resilience.

"Face your fears, Jodi." Netflix has debuted an official trailer for a drama titled Tall Girl , which is indeed about a tall girl. What an original name for this. Ava Michelle stars as Jodi, a girl in high school who is 73 inches tall - 6', 1". She's always been uncomfortable with it. After slouching her way through life for 16 years and being made fun of by classmates, Jodi meets Stig, a seemingly perfect Swedish foreign exchange student who's even taller than she is. Jodi's new crush turns her world upside down and throws her into a surprising love triangle. The cast includes Luke Eisner , Griffin Gluck , Sabrina Carpenter , Paris Berelc , Steve Zahn , Angela Kinsey , and Anjelika Washington . At first glance, this doesn't look any good - so campy. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Nzingha Stewart's Tall Girl , direct from Netflix's YouTube : Jodi (Ava Michelle), the tallest girl in her high school, has always felt
