After more than two years of fan demand, Warner Bros. is finally going to#ReleaseTheSnyderCut. Director Zack Snyder never got to realize his vision forJustice League, which originally hit theaters in November 2017. But the studio is now giving Snyder the resources he needs to bring his vision to life, with the Snyder Cut set to be released on HBO Max next year. Billed asZack Snyder’s Justice League, this will provide DC fans with the version of the movie the filmmaker originally intended to make....

Feel-good movies have a way of helping audiences forget about all of the stressful, negative, and burdensome aspects of their daily lives. This was especially the case in the 2000s when the loom of terrorism, global warming, and economic recession seemed to inflict emotional pain and stress on everyone in the US. For many, movies were a sort of salve with which they could escape (even if only for a temporary period)....

It looks like Disney may be tightening the purse strings on futureStar Warsmovies. The franchise remains largely mysterious, in terms of what will happen on the big screen in the coming years. We know Lucasfilm will be making more movies set in a galaxy far, far away, it’s just that nothing has been confirmed about them, officially speaking. Whatever shape they ultimately take, don’t be surprised if they are smaller in scale....

Officially, it has now been the longest span of time betweenFriday the 13thmovies. The last one to be released was the 2009 remake by Platinum Dunes, which means we’re coming up on a decade without seeing Jason Voorhees on the big screen. Unfortunately, the future of the franchise remains uncertain, due to some legal drama going on over the rights. With it potentially being years before we get another official movie, filmmakers are taking it upon themselves to keep Jason alive in the meantime....

There’s something elusive, and deeply inscrutable aboutJoaquin Phoenix. For an actor of such critical and commercial approbation, he’s intriguingly camera-shy, with a peculiarly youthful tone to his voice and a propensity to almost stumble over his words. He possesses a permanent air as an actor from a long bloodline of theatrical talent. He is encased in this inexplicable mystique that not only makes him unreadable but an unknown quantity in the public eye and tabloid press....

The Last Jedianswered some questions and raised a great many more. Luckily, Disney and Lucasfilm aren’t going to make us wait untilStar Wars 9to reveal everything we want to know. Or, much worse, not tell us at all. One mystery thatThe Last Jedididn’t answer was why theRebels abandoned the planet Crait, which is where the climax of the movie takes place, years before the events of this new trilogy. Now, thanks to a newStar Warscomic book, we have our answer....

With every passing year, hundreds of TV shows air their pilot episode, and hundreds air their final episode. In an industry that has such quick turnarounds and constant unease regarding job security, it is hard to find a show that seems to be invincible. Although the animated sector dominates the long-running TV show market, many shows survive on topical relevance, stories that can be told with any cast, or plots centered around a mainstay environment, such as a police station or school....

For the most part, theTransformerssaga have stood pretty far from being critical favorites. They’re bland, filled with mostly-incomprehensible editing, and even worse dialogue. But that’s not to say there’s no merit to even the worst installments (in other words, those directed by Michael Bay). It’s just that usually that merit comes in the form of an action sequence, as opposed to anything poignant or truly memorable. That wouldn’t come untilBumblebeeand, to a lesser extent,Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, which both also had solid action sequences in their own right....

Koreanhorrormovies, aptly nicknamed K-horror, fall into a unique genre that steps outside of standard Western tropes and focuses more on elements like folklore, spirituality, and psychological terror. K-horror, specifically the classics, tends to steer clear of overused tricks like jump scares, and instead builds a story that hits viewers on a deeper, more emotional level. And yet, many classic Korean horror movies tend to get overlooked for more modern productions, likeTrain to Busan,I Saw the Devil, andThe Host....
