What Women Wantis a weird movie when you consider that the premise is thatMel Gibsongets to read women’s thoughts after reading beauty tips and getting electrocuted (it wouldn’t be a Mel Gibson movie without the protagonist suffering some form of violence). But it’s light, it’s fluffy, and we certainly don’t need a sequel. However, a remake isn’t a bad idea, and one has been in the works titledWhat Men Wantstarring the excellentTaraji P....

When it comes toSolo: A Star Wars Story(still getting used to that title), rumors abound. The film notoriously went through a pretty massive shakeup when directorsPhil LordandChris Millerexited the project with three weeks of filming left to go, andRon Howardsubsequently came onboard and shot for another four months as the film’s new director. There’s been debate about just how much of the Han Solo movie was reshot under Howard, and given the length of time the Oscar-winningRushdirector was in production, it would seem to be significant....

In some ways it’s hard to believe thatThe Flashis coming up on its 100th episode, but the timing is pretty perfect. “What’s Past Is Prologue” will serve as the show’s midseason finale, airing before the “Elseworlds” crossover (so that event can just totally be its own thing).Arrowhad the challenge of its 100th episode being in the middle of a crossover, but still owned that hour by investigating its past in a really thoughtful way....

On the next episode of The CW seriesThe Flash, entitled “The Present,” Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) finds himself unable to focus on the Christmas holiday and decides to go to Earth-3 to get advice and help from Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp), in order to figure out how to stop Savitar. Wanting to help Barry fight Savitar, Wally West (Keiynan Lonsdale) reveals that he’s been training with H.R. (Tom Cavanagh), which Barry is not happy about....

Surrealist cinema occupies a unique place in film culture that is outside of any traditional standards of storytelling. The style is as old as the classic silent films ofGeorges Méliès, and is responsible for some of the most striking imagery in the history of the medium. Despite their lasting influence, surrealist cinema has never had significant mainstream appeal. Nonetheless, the subgenre has spawned many prominent artists, including the brilliant Chilean filmmakerAlejandro Jodorowsky....

Disney’sThe Lion Kingis undoubtedly a stunning technical achievement, so it was with great anticipation that I greeted the chance to speak with the film’s visual effects supervisorRob Legatoduring a press day tied to the box office smash’s in-home release. Currently available on Digital HD and releasing today on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD,The Lion Kingre-imagines the classic Disney animated film using cutting edge technology to bring the colorful cast of characters to life in photoreal fashion....

The Magiciansis back for Season 3, but its world is without magic. How is a show about magicians supposed to be interesting if there’s no magic? Well, maybe there’s still a little magic around. Outside of the glimmer of magic left within Julia (Stella Maeve), the magicians are left without their power, but there are other natural sources which still exist. With the fairies secretly controlling Fillory and the magical vacuum left at the end of last season, Eliot (Hale Appleman) sets out with his friends to find a way to restore the magic that’s been lost by collecting a series of keys....

Netflix has released a new featurette covering how one of the best scenes fromThe Mitchells vs. the Machineswas created, with directorMike Riandaand producersPhil LordandChristopher Millerdiving deep into the story behind the Furby attack at the mall. It’s one of the most inspired sequences in a movie that’s incredibly imaginative and original to begin with. The scene only gets better with the knowledge that it all stemmed from Rianda’s childhood fear of the Furby he locked in his closet that would haunt him by continuing to talk from the shadows....

Blumhouse Productions and Universal have released the title and poster forThe Purge 4, which is calledThe First Purge, and it’s just straight-up going there. If you’ll recall, the poster forThe Purge: Election Yearboasted the tagline “Keep America Great” with some not-so-subtle nods to Donald Trump. Well the first poster forThe First Purgefeatures a “Make America Great Again” hat from Trump’s presidential campaign; only instead of that ridiculous slogan it simply boasts the title of the new movie....
