Read MoreThe Official Gatebil 2018 Film Will Give You Goosebumps
Have you ever watched a video and immediately wanted to be right there, experiencing what you are seeing in person? That’s what Robyworks’ official Gatebil 2018 film does to me. I first met the guys from Robyworks a few years ago at a drift event in Riga. This small, passionate and dedicated team of young Latvian […]
Read MoreMoviePass Played by Silicon Valley’s Insane Rules
MoviePass, whose subscribers pay a month fee to see an unlimited number of movies in most theaters in America, appears to be circling the drain. On Friday, the service temporarily shut down after the company ran out of cash amid a flood of Mission: Impossible – Fallout ticket sales. Over the next few days, MoviePass’s […]
Read MoreSarah Connor is ready to take on a new Terminator in this first sequel photo
Image: Moviestore/REX/Shutterstock By Adam Rosenberg2018-08-01 18:46:13 UTC I like to imagine there’s an alternate reality where The Terminator turned Linda Hamilton into the blockbuster-fronting action star she always deserved to be. What a nice reality that must be. Fortunately, in this reality, Hamilton is set to return to the role of Sarah Connor in an […]
Read More‘The Sandlot’ Is Getting a Prequel Because Nothing Is Sacred
Hollywood loves nothing more than digging up the great movies and TV of yesteryear and—for better or, usually, way worse—trying to raise them from the dead. We’re already getting prequels to The Sopranos and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, along with reboots of The Matrix, Charlie’s Angels, Daria, and a whole lot more. Now, […]
Read MoreI Rewatched ‘The Hobbit’ to Figure Out Why Movies Have Gotten So Ugly
Screencaps via Warner Bros. Welcome to One More Time, the column where writers revisit and review the movies they walked out of in theaters. Long ago, before MoviePass (temporarily?) rendered the entire movie-going experience as frivolous as opening up Netflix, walking out during the middle of a film was a rarely employed act of protest. […]
Read MoreSummarizing movie plots in five words yields hilarious results
“Rebel scum has daddy issues.”Image: Getty Images/Clemens Bilan By Xavier Piedra2018-07-31 21:16:18 UTC We live in a world where we can shorten entire statements into just a few emojis. But can the same be done with a few words and movies? The Academy Twitter account asked people to tweet the plot of their favorite movies […]
Read MoreMoviePass is back, but some folks are over it. What other options are there?
MoviePass introduced us all to a new way of catching movies in theaters, and now the service’s almost-demise has changed the landscape once again. The MoviePass promise is a great idea on the face of things: For a single monthly price, subscribers get to indulge in regular trips to the theaters without bankrupting themselves. It’s […]
Read MoreThe guy who slated classic Star Trek takes was unfazed by the whole thing
Bill McGovern worked as a second assistant camera on a lot of shows, which is why he seems pretty unfazed to have handled the clapper and slating duties on some iconic Star Trek episodes. Even space Nazis didn’t get him very enthused. • I love these pictures of Desilu staffer Bill McGovern (via Old School […]

Read MoreLiam Neeson’s Stunt Double Taught Me a Particular Set of Skills
When I was approached by my editor about receiving fight scene training from Liam Neeson’s body double, I immediately thought of the movie star’s character from Taken, Bryan Mills. As a writer, I don’t have too much in common with a former special agent on the hunt for his kidnapped daughter. But, just as Mills […]

There was the Thursday service outage, the Friday revelation that said outage was due to financial difficulties, the Saturday hype-pology, and continuing headaches all weekend.

Read MoreEntire ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ cast writes open letter protesting Disney’s firing of James Gunn
“We fully support James Gunn.” Those five words are the first you read in an open letter to Disney, a letter signed by every starring cast member in Guardians of the Galaxy. That’s Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Pom Klementieff, and Michael Rooker, plus Gunn’s brother, Sean. The cast is […]
Read More‘Mission: Impossible’ is only the tip of an iceberg that could sink MoviePass
MoviePass is a great idea that only works if its “see all movies in theaters” promise can be fulfilled. Unfortunately for subscribers interested in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, that wasn’t the case over the weekend. Subscribers were already up in arms after app issues temporarily barred them from checking out any movies last Thursday. Even […]

Photo: Tiffany Rose (Getty Images) Michael B. Jordan’s time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is probably over, barring some flashback scenes in the Black Panther sequel or a weird side effect of the snap heard ’round existence at the end of Avengers: Infinity War. But his raw and powerful performance as Erik Killmonger (a.k.a N’Jadaka) […]
Read MoreMoviePass apology for Thursday’s outage is all hype, no transparency
Thursday night’s outage for MoviePass stemmed from money troubles. That is a fact, proven by a regulatory filing (h/t CBS News).
