This article contains The Long Walk spoilers. The Long Walk was the first novel Stephen King ever completed. It was not the first book published.

Morgan Freeman is an icon. His voice is instantly recognizable. He has a screen persona that brings immediate gravitas to everything from superhero movies like Batman Begins to Oscar players such as Invictus. Freeman even maintains dignity while pitching credit cards and playing a goofy wizard in The Lego Movie. Yet as universally beloved as […]

Anybody can win. This is the maxim Americans are told, and which they tell themselves, from the cradle to the grave. If you work hard enough, try hard enough, are simply good enough, you too can be a millionaire; a billionaire; or these days an autocrat above the laws of gods and men. Of course […]

It’s fashionable nowadays to criticize Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s acting choices, but there was a time not long ago where the wrestler-turned-actor’s natural charisma garnered somewhat different notices. While never celebrated as a prospective awards contender, he was still cheered on as “franchise viagra” on SNL, and if not celebrated by critics, then definitely respected […]

As you probably heard, Warner Bros. Pictures is having a pretty good fall, which comes on the heels of a very good summer and a terrific spring. That’s because the studio’s fourth and supposedly final mainline Conjuring picture, The Conjuring: Last Rites, proved that there is still life in the demonic thing, even as trades […]

In 1978, Superman made us believe a man could fly. But in 1989, Batman made movie studios believe that comic book stories as a genre unto themselves could be profitable. In the shadow of Batman’s big payday, Hollywood gave the greenlight to material that they would previously ignore. While that IP-hunt certainly proved profitable for […]

This week sees the release of the “final” film (or so they say) in the Conjuring Universe, The Conjuring: Last Rites. In all four of the mainline Conjuring movies, there are  life and death stakes for the fictional versions of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren, played by Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson onscreen. Given […]

Only six actors have officially played British secret agent James Bond over the course of 63 years (with apologies to non-canon outliers David Niven and Barry Nelson), and as the world awaits the announcement of the seventh thespian who will don the famous tux, the debate over that person’s status and identity has begun anew: […]

Superman has a fairly robust rogue’s gallery under his belt. You might not know this if you only watch comic book movies, where the Man of Steel faces alternating rounds betwen Lex Luthor and General Zod, but outside of Batman, Spider-Man, and maybe the X-Men, Kal-El has one of comicdom’s top shelf villain rosters. So […]

This article contains spoilers for 28 Years Later. Some folks were honestly befuddled when 28 Years Later ended this past summer.

Now approaching its 20th gathering, Fantastic Fest has become the undisputed home for genre cinema in North America. Fans and studios alike know that if they want an early peek at the best (or at least weirdest) in new horror and science fiction, they have to come to Austin. Fantastic Fest didn’t build that reputation […]

Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter is happening. No, really. Despite what purveyors of chronic online skepticism peddle, Lucasfilm is making a new Star Wars movie that is neither a (direct) sequel to the Skywalker Saga, nor a spinoff of The Mandalorian. And it’s now got the cast to prove it. The last 24 hours has […]
