What have we done to deserve this? What evils have the moviegoing public inflicted upon the world to warrant such vengeance? Is there no way out of this nightmare?
HBO promised that this season of Game of Thrones would be all about women.
Well, here’s one way to answer criticism.
The opening sequence of last night’s Game of Thrones season finale was perhaps the best moment in the show’s history, and one of the best on television in the last few years. It was masterful TV-making, from the writing, to the acting, to the music, to the cinematography.
There’s an irony in Brexit occurring in the middle of the Euro tournament. At a time when national solidarity should be at its peak, the United Kingdom is fractured nearly straight down the middle, between people who want to remain in the European Union and those who want to leave it. But if there’s anything that can bring a divided country together, it’s sport.
Tonight (June 26), we find out who rules soccer in the Americas. Argentina will play Chile in the final match of the Copa América Centenario tournament, at 8pm US eastern time at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The United Kingdom’s vote to leave the European Union yesterday, which collapsed the British pound and sent global markets into chaos, will have far-reaching consequences beyond the immediate economic turmoil. One of these is a potential “major blow” to the country’s vibrant film and television industries.
One film critic called Batman v Superman “an excruciating therapy session.” Another said it was like a “loose, unofficial quarter-billion-dollar remake of The Odd Couple, in which Oscar and Felix are literally trying to kill each other.“
The United States men’s soccer team takes on Lionel Messi and Argentina tonight (June 21) at 9pm ET in the semifinal match of the Copa América tournament. Some are calling it “the most important game” in US soccer history—it’s a chance for the Americans to prove they can compete with arguably the best team in the world. The winner will face the winner of Colombia and Chile in the final on Sunday, June 26.
For one long, gruesome minute Sunday night, we stood a few paces behind Jon Snow on the battlefield, as he cut down a swarm of Ramsay Bolton’s forces with his sword, dodging flurries of arrows and an endless stream of charging horsemen:
In his first taping of The Daily Show after Sept. 11, 2001, comedian Jon Stewart opened the show by asking his audience if they were okay.
No, the “Cleganebowl” is probably not happening. Neither is “Lady Stoneheart.” Arya is not the Waif. Arya is not Jaqen. Jaqen is not Syrio. Your Game of Thrones theory is wrong.
Mel Gibson is developing a sequel to his 2004 biblical drama The Passion of the Christ, reported Hollywood Reporter yesterday (June 9). The actor and filmmaker will team up with screenwriter Randall Wallace, who wrote the script for Gibson’s 1995 Oscar winner Braveheart.
Be honest. Do you have a binge-watching problem? When you start a new TV series, do you neglect your family, your friends, or your job? Do you enter a quasi-hibernative state of audiovisual euphoria? According to new data released by Netflix, you’re not the only one.
These are boom times for makers of brown-colored makeup in Los Angeles.
Originality in Hollywood is (mostly) dead. Despite recent troubles in sequel-land, the vast majority of financially successful films are either sequels, remakes, reboots, parts of an already popular franchise, or adaptations of books or other existing works. So on the rare occasion a truly original film breaks through the pack, it’s cause to celebrate.
Last night (June 6) on Game of Thrones, we found out who should truly win the Iron Throne, and it’s not Daenerys Targaryen, Jon Snow, Sansa Stark, Tyrion Lannister, or any of the other major characters on the HBO show.
Check please! It seems there just isn’t much appetite for yet another mediocre US cable drama.
Blade Runner is the perfect film for experimentation with artificial intelligence. In Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic, Rick Deckard (played by Harrison Ford) hunts down and “retires” humanoid robots called replicants. A new class of replicants called “Nexus-6” are capable of yielding human-like emotional responses, further blurring the line between who is human and who is machine. This journey eventually leads Deckard to question his own humanity.
If you are the older colleague of a millennial or “snake person,” that colleague may assume you enjoy listening to your phonograph, collecting and organizing stamps, and being wheeled into a sunny spot.
One of the unsung heroes of the moviegoing experience has died. He was only 46.
“The internet,” as a collective consciousness of wishes and trends, cannot decide whom it wants to be the next James Bond. Idris Elba appeared to be the early frontrunner. Then the internet fell in love with Tom Hiddleston. Now, it seems, people are clamoring for Gillian Anderson, who’d be the first female James Bond since the film franchise began in 1962.
For all Americans complaining about the weak selection of movies on Netflix, the streaming service says it has heard your grievances (video). The US Netflix catalog is about to get better.
When it comes to Game of Thrones, resistance to spoilers is futile. If an actor or a reporter (or a revenge-minded ex) doesn’t spoil the show, HBO itself will.
