Alejandro G. Iñárritu won about big as you can get last year with Birdman, a movie that didn’t just net him 4 Oscars, but also effectively relaunched Michael Keaton’s career (sorry, Need for Speed, you tried). Leonardo DiCaprio’s career is certainly in no need of relaunching. He’s been hovering up in the stratosphere for some time now on the backs …

I really enjoyed the first eight seasons of Bones but then just sort of fell out of love with it. Through no fault of its own mind you, it’s just there are so many shows out that there some have to get cut to let the others grow. One of those for me was Sleepy Hollow, a series that was both fantastical and …

Hey! It’s that time of the week again! No, not Adventure Time. It is however, time to gloss over some low-resolution scans from the Entertainment Weekly magazine, that are all geared towards the upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. It’s all here: New mutants, Oscar Isaacs as the titular Apocalypse and Olivia Munn as the psychic ninja Psylocke, in a costume that was ripped …
To tide us over until the second phase of 2015’s blockbusters kicks in, this week there’s a choice between three comedies, two thrillers and one sanctimonious melodrama. Enter at your own risk! Black Sea A suspenseful adventure thriller directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald, centering on a rogue submarine captain (two-time Academy Award nominee Jude Law) who pulls together …
