hen it comes to superhero movies, Marvel and its Cinematic Universe has been something to gawk at. With 15 films under its interconnected belt, Marvel’s been able to drop a range of movies from mid to marvelous in an eight-year span. Those are far from the first Marvel movies, though; Blade was seen as its true boon back in a decade before Iron Manflew into the scene, and they were dropping terrible Punisher […]
The Late Late Show With James Corden shared a special all-star Christmas edition of Carpool Karaoke on Thursday night’s episode. The late-night talk show host performed “Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)” alongside a number of musicians that were featured throughout 2018 on their wildly popular series. Corden starts the clip decked out in holiday attire with crooner Michael Bublé, with the likes of Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, Migos, Cardi B, Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande, Adam […]
Actor Ryan Reynolds is usually the one making the jokes, but last night fellow stars Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal turned the tables on him. Reynolds attended a party with the other two actors, who apparently told him it was a Christmas sweater party. Reynolds showed up in a red and green sweater with a giant gaudy gold bow on it. The photo Reynolds posted to his Instagram Thursday night […]
You don’t appreciate the art of a good genre contrivance until you see one pulled off poorly. There is so much “stuff” thrown at us in the opening minutes of Bird Box — someone on a radio talking about a safe-house compound, two nameless children in blindfolds, and yes, those titular birds in that titular box — that one feels instantly alienated by the sheer force of the effect on […]
1. Bob Dylan’s Never Ending Tour has been running for 30 years now. The music industry will celebrate an anniversary of just about anything — there was a 20th anniversary edition of Joan Osborne’s Relish — and the compliant music press will help push a little product to mark the occasion. As what has come to be known as Bob Dylan’s Never Ending Tour has proceeded year in and year out, one […]
A few weeks ago, Marvel and Disney finally released the first Avengers 4, revealing that Endgame will be the film’s title. We dissected it soon after the trailer hit YouTube, looking for various clues about what’s about to happen in the Infinity War sequel. We ended up finding even more questions than answers, not that we expected Marvel to reveal too much ahead of the film’s premiere. However, Marvel did release a new IMAX trailer for the […]
The film, starring Keanu Reeves as the titular protagonist, sees Wick return with a $14 million price tag on his head and “an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail.” The film also reunites Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane and Lance Reddick and introduces new characters played by Halle Berry, Anjelica Huston, Asia Kate Dillon, Mark Dacascos and Jason Mantzoukas. Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman join the cast as "formidable professional killers that Wick has […]
Deadwood fans, your long wait is almost over. Writer David Milch’s acclaimed HBO Western that was canceled on a cliffhanger more than a decade ago will at last return with a movie in 2019 (and sooner than you think — we’re told a premiere is planned for spring). The entire core cast are back, led by Ian McShane as the ruthless bar owner Al Swearengen and Timothy Olyphant as hard-nosed lawman Seth Bullock. The […]
It’s the season for year-end lists, but one of 2018’s biggest albums is missing from nearly every major publication’s ranking: The soundtrack to Red Dead Redemption 2. Less than two weeks after the blockbuster video game’s release, Rockstar Games was estimated to have shipped 17 million copies to stores around the world. The company declined to provide more updates on the game’s sales numbers, but that initially reported total easily exceeds the […]
