Steven Spielbergis one of the most versatile directors of all time. He has whisked us away on whimsical adventures with dinosaurs and aliens but has also taken us back in time to history’s darkest times.In every film, Spielberg is able to elicit a strong emotional response from the audience and this often wouldn’t be possible without the assistance of composer,John Williams. While Spielberg creates amazing visuals, Williams is able to capture the visual world through his music....

One of the more understandable joys of thePirates of the Caribbeanfranchise is that it does in fact feel like a bigger, better version of the ride. The audience is plunged into a world where death doesn’t really exist in any tangible way, treasure and rum are available along with (and often in lieu of) glory, squid monsters and ghosts call for your blood, and you get to stick it to those shithead trading companies....

Black Mirror, theTwilight Zone-esque series that caught the attention of folks everywhere when its first two seasons hit the streaming service Netflix, is returning for a third season now officially under the Netflix banner, and at least two episodes are at once classicBlack Mirrorand a bit of a departure. After seeing how well the British series performed, Netflix set creatorCharlie Brookerto craft a new season’s worth of episodes to debut on Netflix, and two episodes just made their debut at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, where I got a chance to preview whatBlack MirrorSeason 3 has in store....

The most sure sign that you will be a fan of NBC’sEmerald Cityis if you’re already a fan of its director,Tarsem Singh. Singh, who helmed all 10 episodes, leaves a distinct visual imprint on the series, which filmed on location all over the world in an attempt to minimize CGI. In that way, it’s very, very different from ABC stalwartOnce Upon a Time, but the two share the common element of taking familiar fairy tales and putting a darker, more grown-up spin on them....

Who needs Harry Potter? The boy wizard was the hero of one of the most popular book and film series of all-time, but withFantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, it’s undeniable that the clear star is screenwriter andHarry PotterauthorJ.K. Rowling. While magizoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) is ostensibly the protagonist ofFantastic Beasts, it’s clear that rather than take us through another hero’s journey arc, Rowling wants to take her audience to a different era with timely conflicts....

At long, last our firstspecificinformation regarding theGame of ThronesSeason 8 premiere date has been revealed. HBO has dropped a new teaser video of sorts forGame of Thones’s final season, and while it doesn’t feature any new footage, it does showcase the long and wintry road that has led us to the impending conclusion, which—as revealed in the video—will begin in April 2019. This was somewhat expected. We knewGame of ThronesSeason 8 would be premiering sometime in the first half of 2019, and given that HBO hasTrue DetectiveSeason 3premiering in January, we presumedThroneswould be following shortly thereafter....

It’s unusual, deep into a TV show’s run, for it to reinvent itself in a way that not only feels new, but wins over viewers who were ready to leave it behind. That’s what happened withGirls’ fifth season, which featured a number of gorgeously directed episodes (like the immersive “Japan”) and moving single-character moments (like Marnie reconnecting with Charlie for a day spent exploring the city). For a show I have often disliked but keep returning to, it felt like a reward for sticking with it....

Ahead of the film’s screening at the Toronto International Film Festival this weekend, a new NSFW trailer for the unique sci-fi actionerHardcorehas been released online. Written and directed byIlya Naishullerand executive produced byTimur Bekmambetov(Wanted), the film is shot entirely in POV perspective, meaning the whole movie is styled like a first person shooter video game—except this is a live-action feature film. Indeed, even the synopsis refers to the main character as “you”, so the goal here is complete and total immersion with the help of actors likeSharlto CopleyandDanila Kozlovsky....
