Chris Evans makes his Broadway debut alongside Michael Cera, Brian Tyree Henry and Bel Powley in Oscar winner Kenneth Lonergan's examination of moral conflict built around a murder investigation. Let's get the obvious question out of the way up front: Does Chris Evans cut it in his leap from the superhero universe to the naturalistic comedy-drama of Kenneth Lonergan's Lobby Hero? Absolutely. Evans fully inhabits his character of a vain but […]
It used to be a surefire recipe for success for a Hollywood studio: a visually spectacular popcorn movie based on a popular novel and directed by none other than Steven Spielberg. Warner Bros.’ new science fiction epic “Ready Player One,” hitting U.S. theaters Wednesday night, is the latest test of whether the formula still works commercially. “Ready Player One,” a dystopian science fiction adventure steeped in futuristic technology and 1980s nostalgia, is […]
Ready Player One hits theaters this week and critics have weighed in with almost unanimous agreement that, while the movie is visually stunning and a fun thrill ride full of references, it all gets a little old well before the credits roll. Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Ernest Cline's best-selling novel of the same name dives deep into the virtual world of the OASIS and never stops throwing pop culture references […]
Fox has shuffled its release schedule, moving forward the Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” while pushing back its “X-Men” spinoffs “The New Mutants” and “Dark Phoenix.” In an announcement late Monday night, the studio said it had set Nov. 2 as the new launch date for “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which had been set for Dec. 25. Dexter Fletcher came on board to direct in December after Fox fired Bryan Singer from the project. “Mr. […]

A glut of new movies underperform as they unfurl nationwide — including Steven Soderbergh's latest film — while Wes Anderson's 'Isle of Dogs' soars at the specialty box office. Legendary and Universal's Pacific Rim Uprising dethroned Black Panther at the domestic box office with $28 million from 2,850 theaters. While coming in ahead of tracking, that's still a troublesome start for a movie that cost at least $150 million to produce before marketing. Overall […]

Recent international posters for Solo: A Star Wars Story have led many to assume that Disney is making a sweeping change to the marketing plan to remove all blasters from the movie’s marketing, but that’s a gross misunderstanding of the situation. Anyone that knows Star Wars knows about the “Han shot first” mantra that originated with George Lucas’ edits to the original trilogy during his Special Edition re-releases in the […]
On the big screen, Daryl Hannah stands out for her roles in “Splash,” “Wall Street” and the “Kill Bill” movies. But it has been more than a decade since audiences last watched the striking 5-foot-10 blonde strut across the screen in a formidable role. Perhaps that was because she rebuffed Harvey Weinstein in a harrowing encounter that likely cost her many future opportunities, as she revealed to the New Yorker […]
