Tom Cruiseis back as Ethan Hunt inMission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Oneand while his latest adventureisthe longest entry in the franchise to date, coming in at two hours and 43 minutes, you won’t have to wait for an end-credits or scene. NoMission: Impossiblefilm has ever had an end credits scene, soDead Reckoning Part Onekeeps that tradition intact, despite this one instance where a post-credit scene might have been appropriate, as this is the first part of a two-part adventure....

Ever since he was dubbed “franchise Viagra”,Dwayne Johnsonhas been one of the most in-demand performers in Hollywood. So it’s no surprise that he was scooped up years ago by Warner Bros. and attached to star in one of its DC Extended Universe films,Shazam. That project recently went through a pretty major evolution in that Warner Bros. and New Line Cinemadecided to splitShazaminto two movies, one focusing on the titular hero, and one focusing on the anti-hero/ Shazam’s nemesis calledBlack Adam....

Since getting his start in 1998 with his debut feature filmFollowing,Christopher Nolanhas been blowing away audiences with his unique sense of story structure, passion for practical effects and realism, and engaging stories populated by interesting characters. The director has explored a wide variety of genres, from epic adventure sci-fi to exciting superhero action. However, if there’s one genre that he’s shown preference for over the years, that’s the thriller. Nine of his 11 features as a director are classified as thrillers on IMDb, and all of them can brag about having outstanding Tomatometer scores onRotten Tomatoes....

With no major offerings from any studio coming out this weekend, unless you were particularly excited aboutUnforgettablefor some deeply misguided reason,The Fate of the Furiousis going to pick up its second weekend with no problem. As of Friday, the eighth (and worst) volume in theFast and Furiousfranchise had brought in $11.2 million, withUnforgettable($1.7 million) and Disney’sBorn in China($1....

As we enter in to the final days before theGame of ThronesSeason 6 premiere – of which there are no screeners and thus, we have no idea what to expect – HBO has started their drip of clips and images to tease us. A new batch of photos does allow for some speculation though, of course, as well as a clearer shot of things we saw in the first trailer, like the ship that I originally thought was sailing into Pyke, but it looks like that’s King’s Landing and the sigil is that of House Martell....

Note: If you want to be absolutely spoiler-free, you might want to wait to watch this press conference as minor spoilers were discussed. Last week I got to do something incredibly cool: I attended a private screening ofGodzilla: King of the Monstersalong with a number of reporters from around the world at Toho Studios in Tokyo. While everything about the movie is under embargo (for now), after the screening ended, directorMichael DoughertyandKen Watanabesat down at the front of the theater and participated in a group press conference for about thirty minutes....

Not far from the actual Haunted Mansion ride in Disneyland, Disney fans got their first look at the ghoulish new trailer forThe Haunted Mansionat D23. Directed byJustin Simien(Dear White People,Bad Hair) and written byKatie Dippold(The Heat, Ghostbusters), the film follows a single mom named Gabbie, played byRosario Dawson, who purchases a suspiciously affordable mansion for her and her son in New Orleans. Of course, even in a housing market like today, an incredibly affordable mansion means it’s either the fixer upper of the century, or… it’s haunted....

For a man so famously pale,Jim Gaffiganhas certainly gone dark. The comedian leads two films in this year’s Los Angeles Film Festival,American DreamerandYou Can Choose Your Family, both of which see him delving into far less wholesome parts of his persona than food-and-family stand-up or his 2014 book,Food: A Love Story. In directorDerrick Borte’s thrillerAmerican Dreamer,Gaffigan plays Cam, an erratic, down-on-his-luck driver who decides to get out of a financial bind by kidnapping a drug dealer’s child....

Quarantine has very few gifts to give us, other than, you know, the gift of hopefully holding a catastrophic disease at bay for as long as possible. But one of the scant perks of us all fusing slowly with our couches is that entertainment providers are taking pity on us en masse by offering up their wares in ways hitherto unconsidered, dropping things online left and right that would’ve otherwise been distributed in different ways....

[Editor’s note: The following containsspoilersforMalignant.] If you’ve already seenMalignant, you’ve already experienced the objectively batshit final 30 minutes ofJames Wan’s Giallo-inspired supernatural slasher. To briefly recap: It is revealed that our main character Maddie (Annabelle Wallis) was born with a sentient parasitic sibling named Gabriel attached to her brain. InMalignant’s whirlwind third act, Gabriel’s little monster face bursts out of the back of Maddie’s head and puppeteers her body, backward, as he slaughters every person in a holding cell and the surrounding police precinct....
