After everything that 2016 has brought us, it’s nice to have a reason to focus on the future, and in this case, the rather distant future. When it comes to movie release dates that are several years out, plenty can change. But for now, Sony is making some tweaks to its 2018 and 2019 release schedule. Even thoughSpider-Man: Homecominghasn’t premiered yet (we only just saw the trailer yesterday), the studio is piggybacking off of the fervor from the first trailer and scheduling out its sequel....

Every time a horror movie watcher utters a phrase like “Don’t go in there!” or “He’s right behind you!” it’s a certainty that something truly awful is about to happen, and somebody, usually the quintessential damsel in distress, is about to let out a blood-curdling scream. The quality of that scream can be the key to just how effective and jump-inducing that scary scene can be. TakeAlfred Hitchcock’s shower sequence from the 1960 classicPsycho....

Earlier tonight,Jon Favreau’sThe Lion Kinghad its world premiere.

When an Apple Watch locks after too many incorrect passcode entries, there is a straightforward process to reset it. This is a security feature to protect the user’s data, but it requires the owner to perform a full reset of the device. Resetting the watch not only clears the passcode but also erases all content and settings, restoring the device to its original state. It is crucial to know that all data on the watch becomes inaccessible after this reset, so it is wise to have a recent backup....

A few weeks back,I suggestedyou check out theCary Fukunaga’s Netflix original filmBeasts of No Nation. At the risk of sounding like a PR-arm of the streaming giant, today I’m recommending you watch another Netflix original:Aziz Ansari’s seriesMaster of None. I apologize if you find multiple Netflix original endorsements within the span of a few weeks annoying. I won’t accept responsibility for my actions, however. I blame Netflix for releasing such great original content in such a short span of time that it leaves me with no choice but to recommend it....

Game of Thronesended in a very weird place. I expect when the book on this show is written (presumably, delivered by hand and with the title of the show on it in a hilariously meta moment), it will say that the biggest failing of Seasons 7 and 8 was how rushed they were.Game of Thronesneeded either full 10-episode seasons instead of 13 episodes spread out over two seasons, or they needed a ninth season of six or seven episodes....

When Warner Bros. announced their Comic-Con film lineup, there was a kind of quiet Easter Egg hidden within: a confirmation of the screenwriters for the upcomingWonder Womanfilm. The highly anticipated movie is set to hit theaters next summer, and will be directed byPatty Jenkins, but the most important thing is, of course, who has crafted the story — one of the biggest disappointments withBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicewas exactly that issue....
