Paul Feig was oblivious to the mean, dark underbelly of the Internet until he decided to make an all-female reboot of Ghostbusters. But ever since the film was announced to widely negative reactions and especially after its trailer famously became most disliked trailer on YouTube, Feig seems to have found a new understanding of this particularly ugly side of sexism. “I have been hit with some of the worst misogynistic […]

Harington had sported his thicker facial hair as recently as last week. Filming on the current sixth season of the hit HBO series concluded several months ago. The 29-year-old is currently starring as the […]

It’s all been very black and white in The Sims—until now. Just today, Maxis announced over 700 new and different features for men […]
The Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles raked in almost $500 million at the worldwide box office, but it was widely regarded as a flop by both critics and hardcore TMNT fans alike. Jonathan Liebesman may have served as director, but the rebootedTurtles was all Bay spectacle, complete with puffed-up action sequences, low-hanging jokes, and gratuitous shots of Megan Fox. The sequel, subtitled Out of the Shadows, trades Liebesman for […]

But while “Blood of My Blood” contains no giant battle scenes or shocking time-travel revelations, it does cover a lot of ground, tying up at least one longstanding mystery, moving several plots forward in interesting and unexpected ways, and giving us a bunch of satisfying character moments-- plus the usual helping […]
