As the actor in the scene shifts gears betweentheir character’s severed and unsevered modes, their head gets either wider or narrower and the elevator seems to change in size behind them.

Legends of Tomorrowstepped up in a big way in its second season, thanks largely to the sidelining of Rip Hunter (apologies toArthur Darvill) and the inclusion of a badass trio of villains, the Legion of Doom. The show also rediscovered its silliness in the best possible way –Legends of Tomorrowis the most fun to watch when it’s having fun, and acknowledging what a bonkers premise drives this show. The interactions among the characters are what keep me watching, so when things get too serious or focused on plot points it can feel like a slog....

Could the Netflix tide be changing when it comes to theatrical rollouts? A few months ago, with major films from prestige filmmakers likeAlfonso CuaronandThe Coen Brotherson the horizon, it was reported that Netflix was consideringpotentially breaking its ruleand giving select films an exclusive theatrical releasebeforethose films hit streaming. We may have just hit the first step in that plan, asVarietyreports that Oscar-nominatedUnited 93directorPaul Greengrass’ new film22 Julyis getting one of the widest theatrical releases in Netflix’s history....

What isRebirth? Just kidding, it’s a trick question. I didn’t even know the answer until the first trailer for the latest Netflix original hit the Web — four days before it premieres on the streaming platform! But it heralds good things to come down the road. Basically, Netflix is collaborating directly with various filmmakers on a number of indie films.Rebirthis one of them.

To do some catchup on the journey so far: TNT originallyordered the series— starringDaveed DiggsandJennifer Connelly— in January of 2018, based onJoon-ho Bong‘s 2013 film of the same name, which itself was based on the French post-apocalyptic graphic novel “Le Transperceneige....

The reasons for this vary though much of it can likely be traced back to its cinematic identity in a variety of romantic films such as the enduringA Room with a Viewas well as less memorable thrillers like 2016’sInferno. Whether we realize it or not, the magic of the movies can create a certain idea of a place in our minds....

WhenThe 100introduced ALIE (Erica Cerra) at the end of Season 2, it brought a whole new aspect to this post-apocalyptic show and linked the series back to the beginning when humanity was eliminated (for the most part) from Earth. At the time of that introduction, the sheer ruthlessness and stop-at-nothing attitude wasn’t clear, but it didn’t take long this season for ALIE’s true horrific nature to be known. ALIE is an artificial intelligence (AI) who was never programmed with human characteristics; most importantly, she was left without the concept of right and wrong....
