Deadlinewas the first to report the news of Dunst’s directorial debut, which will be a film adaptation ofSylvia Plath’s renowned 1963 novel,The Bell Jar. It’s the story of Esther Greenwood, who takes an internship at a magazine in New York City in the 1950s....

If you were to consider theAvengers’ greatest foes of all time,Ultronwould be near the top of that list. That may have contributed to whyJames Spaderwas so popular as the character inAvengers: The Age of Ultron. With the character joining the roster of theMarvel Rivalsvideo game with high power levels that include flight, a damaging Encephalo ray, and healing for all his allies (including Ultron drones!),he’s likely to be a worthy adversary that will build even more excitement for his return to the MCUin the upcoming Disney+ series,Vision Quest....

[NOTE: This is a repost of our review from the Cannes Film Festival;The Meyerowitz Stores (New and Selected)is now available on Netflix and playing in select theaters] The headlines you may have already read aboutNoah Baumbach’sThe Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)have predominantly focused on the performance ofAdam Sandlerand that’s sort of a shame. This is not meant to diminish Sandler’s work in the least. The veteran comedy star hasn’t delivered a performance of this caliber sinceJudd Apatow’sFunny Peoplealmost eight years ago....

Let’s get this out of the way first:Damon Lindelof’sWatchmenis incredible. In this era of exceptional television, Watchmen is near the top. One of the main reasons why Lindelof’s series is so amazing is that he’s taken his love ofAlan MooreandDave Gibbons’ Hugo Award-winning graphic novel and created a completely new story that absolutely feels likeWatchmen- but is its own thing. The series, like the original comic, has a lot to say about the state of the world and each episode is absolutely loaded with so much world building that I can’t wait to rewatch every episode as they air on HBO Sunday nights (I’ve already seen the first six)....

There’s no stopping Disney when they’re on an honest-to-goodness tear. That’s the lesson to be learned from this weekend at the box office, whereBeauty and the Beastonce again reigned supreme. The subject matter has something to do with the success of the film: it’s a fantastical romantic-comedy, whereas the far superior yet way less financially successfulPete’s Dragonis, at heart, a fantasy film about maturity, adulthood, nature, and instinct. Still, with the film taking the top spot this weekend with some $88 million following its massive opener,Beauty and the Beastis nothing short of a juggernaut, and we haven’t even started getting into its international money and home video prospects....

There’s a real dearth of quality werewolf entertainment out there. Not since the moony days ofUnderworldandThe TwilightSagahave lycanthropes gotten their share of the spotlight. So it was with great interest and anticipation that I waited for the release ofWerewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood. Hailing from developers at Cyanide Studio (Call of Cthulhu) and published by Nacon, who graciously provided me with a review code ahead of yesterday’s release date, this title takes its inspiration from the delightfully dark fantasy lore of World of Darkness’s table-top RPGs....

Horror directors and superhero movies seem to be a match made in heaven. Whether it’sSam Raimi’sheartfelt take on Spider-ManorJames Wan’sbombastic, globe-trotting approach to Aquaman, certain directors put just as much emphasis into the world of capes and cowls that they do the shrieks and scares of their horror efforts. It could be said that the creatures in horror films and the characters in various superheroic mythologies both represent bigger ideas about humanity....

Fans of the Marvel-verse who signed up for Disney+ may be surprised to discover that the long-runningMarvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.is not among its offerings. Despite the impressive array of MCU titles, all six seasons of ABC’s surprisingly long-lived live-action spinoff still reside on Netflix, and the final installment will join them there by month’s end. As Disney+ could have used bringing aboard Marvel’s long-ignored bastard child, there’s an irony to that....

Across its 19 seasons to date,Grey’s Anatomyhas remained one of television’s most-loved medical dramas thanks to its dedication to intricate, personal storytelling. Fromdastardly villainsto heartwarming heroes, and all thejoyous first kissesand gutwrenching breakups that fit in between, it is thecast of characters that are the backbone of this success. With Season 20 marking a major milestone for the series, these characters will be more important than ever. So, with that in mind, here is a look at the cast of characters inGrey’s AnatomySeason 20....

The third season of Netflix’s hit seriesThe Witcherwrapped production in September of last year. As much fans will like to return to the complexity of the politics on the continent, many are torn by the fact that the upcoming season would mark the end ofHenry Cavill’s role as the titular monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia. Cavill himself had also this past September hinted that the third seasonwould be returning this summer, and now as part of the preparations for the show’s return, the first poster for the season has been released....
