I don’t know about you, but lately, it feels really cathartic to see people who do harm and cause needless deaths get their comeuppance. For that, I always pop on a goodgangsterfilm, especially from directors likeGuy RitchieorMartin Scorsese, who thoroughly understand that no matter how high the bad guys fly, they will always come crashing down. Plus, the genre is so versatile that you never get bored from one movie to the next, because there is so much ground to cover when it comes toorganized crime....

DreamWorks had a great 2016, if you look exclusively at its fiscal success.Trolls, a nonsensical cautionary tale that warns that sad people will eat happy people whole for their tasty goodness, did gangbusters at the box office andKung Fu Panda 3, unnecessary and tedious as it was, also made an admirable splash with audiences. And it’s not looking as if 2017 will be any less successful, with the long-awaited adaptation ofCaptain Underpantsset to hit theaters next summer andThe Boss Baby, an adaptation ofMarla Frazee’s beloved children’s book, will kick off their year on March 31st....

The truth is,The FlashSeason 3 has not been without its problems. It started with Flashpoint and continued with the way the team has handled trying to save Iris’ life. “The Wrath of Savitar” started well with Team Flash’s concrete plan to save Iris using Wally’s speed, then drifted into the danger zone by toying with the future. By the end, the tone and intensity shifted in a way that left it as one of the season’s strongest hours....

The GreatSeason 2 was another delightful, raunchy romp through history (or almost-history). The season dealt with the aftermath of Catherine’s (Elle Fanning) successful coup and her struggle to be accepted as Empress. Meanwhile, Peter (Nicholas Hoult) is discovering who he is if he’s not God’s chosen ruler of Russia. Though Catherine chose to spare his life following the coup, their marriage was in a tenuous place leading up to the birth of their son, Paul....

It’s been a long, strange road gettingThe Little Princeonto American screens. A notable hit overseas through the end of last year, the animated adaptation of the beloved novel was set to premiere through Paramount Pictures, but the distributor dropped the film unexpectedly.

It’s been well over a month sinceThe Witcherpremiered on Netflix and I can’t stop thinking about it, you guys! Chief amongst my thoughts at this moment in time: Were there any deleted scenes from Season 1? Thankfully, series creatorLauren Hissrichopened up aboutThe Witcherdeleted scenes, namely the ones she loved the most. Thanks to Hissrich’s recent interview withPure Fandom, we got the 411 on theWitchercreator’s favorite deleted scenes. Per Hissrich, there were “so many scenes had to be cut from the final episodes” but some of the scenes which stick in her mind had to do with Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and how her relationships to other powerful women in the series, including antagonist Fringilla (Mimi Ndiweni), developed....

The forthcomingUnchartedfilm, adapted from the mega-popular PlayStation/Naughty Dog video game franchise, has seen more puzzling twists and turns than, well, a level fromUncharted.Directors dropped,directors replaced,release dates pushed. But through it all, we’ve had one constant:Tom Holland, best known as the MCU’s Spider-Man, cast in the lead role as Nathan Drake, an Indiana Jones-esque treasure hunter voiced through the video game franchise byNolan North. I’m a fan of the video games. And I must be honest with you, dear reader: I have always felt as though Holland is simply too young for the role....
