For the last seven years, audiences have ventured into the further with theInsidiousfilms, created byJames WanandLeigh WhannelIwith a clear love for the campyWilliam Castle-esque creep shows of yore. But it’s not the frightful visions or stylistic flourishes that have endured through the sequels and prequels, it’s the intrepid psychic Elise Rainer who has guided the audience through the Further in all four films. Played with utmost warmth and goodnatured affability by “character actress” extraordinaireLin Shaye, Elise has become the unlikely through-line of theInsidiousfranchise and withInsidious: The Last Key, she takes the lead in a film that dives deep on her backstory and what makes the lovable empath tick, traveling to her childhood home and her early encounters with the otherworldly....

The last member ofThe Defendersis about to make his debut on Netflix when Marvel’sIron Fistseries premieres on March 17th. But whileFinn Jones& co. bring the mythology of Danny Rand’s alter ego to life on the small screen, fans shouldn’t expect to see the signature green-and-yellow suit of Iron Fist any time soon. The reasons for the decision have to do with Danny Rand’s arc in his introductory season; he’s far from a Hero for Hire at this point....

It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise thatAndrés Muschietti’s adaptation ofStephen King’s horror novelItwill be rated R. There aren’t many King adaptations that turn out PG-13, and the reason is that there’s really no upside. The amount of teenager viewers you could draw in is negated by the fans of the book you’ll lose who know that to do the novel justice, you’ll have to give it an R rating....

Get ready for more epic meltdowns, self-righteous speechifying, and serial killer speculation, because Dennis Reynolds is sticking around theIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphiagang after all. The end of last season saw the typically self-serving character head off on his own to accept some responsibility for his actions for a change, leaving fans to wonder if Dennis would be back for the upcoming 13th season. ThenGlenn HowertonlandedAP Bioand, even though heconfirmed he had room in his schedulefor both shows, folks really started to worry....

Few actors are as recognizable yet underappreciated asKat Dennings. After her rise to prominence during the early 2000s, Dennings starred in a few movies during the second half of the decade, most notablyThe House BunnyandNick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist. Dennings made her MCU debut with SirKenneth Branagh’sThorin 2011 as Darcy Lewis, a political science major who’s interning for Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) during Thor’s (Chris Hemsworth) first trip to Earth....

Disney and Pixar’s latest animated filmLightyearis fast approaching its June 17 theater premiere, but before audiences get to see the origins of the iconic Buzz Lightyear, a new track from the film dropped on Disney’s music channel for advance listening ahead of the film. Titled “Mission Improbable,” the song is part of the score from Oscar-winning composerMichael Giacchinothat will make up part of the soundtrack for the film. The track fits the vibe of a grand space adventure, sounding like the background music to the start of a mission to the stars....

If you caughtmy review out of Fantastic Fest, you know that I had amomentwithSuspiria. Beautiful, bold, and bound to be one of the more divisive films of the year,Luca Guadagnino’s remake of the iconic 1977 horror classic couldn’t be more different from the original, but that doesn’t mean it packs any less of a punch. And as you might imagine, in a film centered on a coven of witches at a dance academy, the soundtrack is pretty damn important....

The filming process onAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers: Endgamewas a bit unprecedented. Not only were Marvel’s two mega-movies shot back-to-back, but to ensure maximum secrecy, accommodate the massive cast’s schedules, and allow theRusso Brothersroom to piece together their story, plot details were kept from the performers, things were shotespeciallyout of sequence, and often, scenes were filmed that were never meant to be used at all. Case in point: In an interview withYahoo, the ever-delightfulMark Ruffalorevealed that he had no idea whether Bruce Banner would survive Thanos' climactic Infinity Gauntlet snap until he saw the movie....

I think we can all agree the antagonists of the Marvel Universe have been a weak link in an otherwise amazing film series. All too often, it feels like the villain is an afterthought, and whatever plan they have hasn’t been fully developed. Of course that’s not always the case, because most people loveTom Hiddlestonas Loki,Michael KeatoninSpider-Man: Homecoming,Daniel Bruhl’s villainous Helmut Zemo inCaptain America: Civil War, andRobert Redford’s Alexander Pierce along withSebastian Stan’s Bucky inCaptain America: The Winter Solider....

Warner Bros. and DC are quickly moving forward with development on theMichael B. Jordan-producedStatic Shockproject. Pernews from The Hollywood Reporter,Randy McKinnon, the writer behind Disney’s most recent football effortSafety, is set to pen the script that features fan-favorite Virgil Hawkins. Hawkins became the hero known as Static after an interaction with a radioactive substance, gaining the ability to control electromagnetic fields.

There were many of us who were hoping thatMr. Robot’s Season 2 finale would help bring together the disparate threads of the season, and perhaps even provide some answers. One of the biggest threads the show finally picked back up after a season-long tease was the return of Tyrell Wellick, who it seems is not only still alive, but definitely not a third part of Elliot’s personality. Like Elliot, we’ve been conditioned to expect everything to just be a trick by Mr....

The new Disney animated short filmOlaf’s Frozen Adventure—AKA the interminable “short” that audiences grew angry when it was attached to play in front of Pixar’sCoco—is now set to make its broadcast television debut next Thursday, December 14th at 8pm EST on ABC. The film will be part of ABC’s 25 Days of Christmas festivities, and the story takes place after the events ofFrozenand revolves around Olaf’s (Josh Gad) search for a new holiday tradition given that Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) don’t have any (or so they think…)....
