Proving that even rivals facing off on opposite sides of the Sith-Jedi divide can come together in the name of the one true unifying Force in the universe—dogs—Star Wars co-stars Adam Driver and Mark Hamill teamed up to help rescue a canine companion earlier this week. Specifically, the two collaborated on the rescue…

A lot has changed in the 25 years since Kevin Smith’s low-budget debut, Clerks, introduced us to the New Jersey convenience-store parking lot drug dealers Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith). Comic book blockbusters rule Hollywood. Cannabis has been co-opted by venture capitalists. Comic-Con, once the domain of…

It’s that wonderful time of the year when you can unabashedly indulge in the best of all genres: horror. And what better folks to make spooky recommendations than the kinds of filmmakers who know exactly what they’re talking about. After scouring interviews and profiles, IndieWire has compiled a list featuring 32 of…

Should Mrs. Doubtfire have been arrested? Maybe we’ll find out in the upcoming Broadway musical adaptation of the 1993 comedy (?) about a divorced dad who poses as a septuagenarian nanny in order to spend time with his estranged kids. Because, yeah, in addition to being very funny it’s also really kinda dark and…

Rob Legato is kind of a big deal in the cinematic VFX world. He’s won three Oscars and worked on everything from Titanic to The Wolf Of Wall Street. Over the past couple of years, a good portion of his time has been devoted to acting as the Visual Effects Supervisor on Disney’s “live action” remake of The Lion King.…

The horror genre loves awful humans, the kind of arrogant, self-obsessed meat puppets that simply demand to be tormented and terrified for the audience’s pleasure. Armie Hammer plays such a barely animated mannequin in Wounds, Babak Anvari’s long-delayed follow-up to 2016’s clever ghost story Under The Shadow.…

The Purge is a franchise that equally indulges in patriotism and horrific violence, taking place in a country where mass shootings and domestic terrorism have become a common threat. That’s a very difficult line to walk without feeling like you’re exploiting the very thing you’re commenting on. io9 asked the folks…

As The Lighthouse heads into theaters this weekend, director Robert Eggers has begun plotting his third feature. Deadline reports that Eggers, who made his debut with the effectively terrifying The Witch, will next direct The Northman. Lars Knudsen (Midsommar) is producing the film, which is being described as a Viking…

Just yesterday we had the great honor and privilege of sharing Netflix’s upcoming slate of holiday movies and TV shows.

Our collective obsession with Twitter is ready to infiltrate yet another corner of our lives and, reader, you can help make it happen. Two Tweets & A Lie is a card game that’s currently making rounds on Kickstarter, and, as the title suggests, it involves guessing which of three celebrity tweets is the fake one, which…

The first Zombieland proved that its central foursome (played by Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, and Abigail Breslin) has what it takes to survive in a world filled with the undead. But the arrival of its decade-later sequel made us realize that not every character would be cut out for the apocalypse.…

Last night’s Democratic presidential debate was just a swamp of wasted opportunity. Instead of discussing climate change, housing, or the Hong Kong protests, the candidates wasted another half-hour on healthcare financing and were subjected to a lame-duck final question about whether or not it’s cool to be pals with…

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, the latest game from the company behind Pokémon Go, lets players harness the magic of their childhood to combat monsters and collect shimmering digital artifacts across their local neighborhoods. Niantic’s apps certainly encourage gamers to get outdoors and get active, but behind the…

Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe have the kind of faces Norma Desmond waxed nostalgic about in Sunset Boulevard. Like all the stars of the silent era, they don’t need dialogue; a whole movie could be hung on the topography of their features, on what Pattinson does with those haunted eyes he used to fix on Kristen…

Studio Ghibli movies are wondrous affairs, filled with dreamlike animation and imaginative worlds with compelling characters like Princess Mononoke and My Neighbor Totoro. But if you haven’t seen a Studio Ghibli movie in the theater, and don’t own any of the DVDs or Blu-rays, you are out of luck. Polygon…

Game-show contestant introductions are pretty run-of-the-mill, as those trying to win thousands of dollars typically mention wonderful wives, supportive husbands, 2.5 kids, maybe a dog or two.
