Cruise has been filming most of his upcoming M:I movies in the U....

Get ready to laugh your socks off, or don’t, that’s your prerogative. Trial & Error was one of the best parody comedy shows of the last decade but seems to have fallen through the cracks. That may be because the TV show was canceled after only two seasons, but considering the new era of streaming, Trial & Error may have a shot at coming back sometime soon. However, if you are looking for a good laugh, now is the time to go sit back, relax, and laugh at Trial & Error....

Hellcats? Whoop-doo! It’s hard to shake the exploitation vibe from any visual medium dealing with cheerleaders, and The CW’s latest teen drama Hellcats doesn’t even try. This hour-long drama embraces its roots in bad B movies revolving around scantily clad, jiggling nymphets. And that’s definitely the best thing going for it. If you’ve come to watch hot young ladies thrust their naked pelvic region at the camera as if they can’t wait for DirecTv’s 3D channel to get here quick enough, then you’ve come to the right place....

The Good This film has a strongly layered cast. The Bad Certain aspects of this movie felt too familiar and unoriginal. In Unknown, 5 strangers wake up in a warehouse with no clue as to who they are and how they got in this room. We then see their lives in a Memento like way, as the characters have their stories shown to us in reverse. As this movie presses on we are given clues about who every in the room is, why they are there and how they in fact relate to one another....

Netflix released a new Italian limited series The Lying Lives of Adults, which is the newest adaptation of a novel by the Italian author Elena Ferrante (not her real name), and the coming-of-age series is a delight to watch. Adaptations can be a tricky thing to accomplish, especially regarding stories where the internal dialogue of the character takes the lead in the narrative. A trademark of Ferrante’s stories is exactly that — the turmoil and rawness bubbling inside her characters, threatening to boil over....

Well, it seems like after 30 years of being in business VHS is officially being called dead. In a story from Variety, they report that the old format had been expected to make it to January, but with all the new formats (HD-DVD, Blu-ray, etc.) the “little plastic tape carrier that could” was shuffling the mortal coil early. Of course VHS will still be available in some places. Toys ‘R’ Us is planning on paying tribute by continuing to carry some Barney titles....

“What makes you smile?” Paramount attempts to answer that question in a menacing manner with their new trailer for Smile. The horror film will follow Dr. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon), who begins experiencing strange occurrences which can’t be explained. In the preview, we see Cotter seek answers about what is happening with a recently deceased patient and 19 other victims whose cases are directly linked together. On the surface level, the plot doesn’t sound too far off from other thriller movies from the past; however, the trailer does an excellent job of instilling fear into its viewers....

The X-Men are officially coming to the MCU. But which X-Men? There were many X-Men teams featured over the years. There were staples like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Elliot Page’s Shadowcat.

With the news that director Alexander Payne and actor Paul Giamatti are reuniting for their second go-around with, per Variety, The Holdovers, now is as good a time as any to return to 2004 and re-visit their first collaboration together. Sideways was a surprise hit that few were expecting, and like most punches, it’s the ones you don’t see coming that are the ones that knock you out. It’s hard to follow up a film like About Schmidt, but not only did Payne match the greatness of his sophomore effort, he exceeded it and made one of the most underrated masterpieces of the early 2000s....

Among the best emerging horror directors and writers, Oz Perkins is absolutely one to watch. He has dabbled in the acting world, playing young Dr. Joshua Stone in October Road, Dorky David in Legally Blonde, and more recently, Fynn Bachman in Jordan Peele’s Nope. However, it can be argued that his potent creative juices tend to flow most freely in other cinematic areas. As a director, he has headed several ambitious horror projects, putting a new spin on classic stories....
