Tom Cruise's Return to Serious Movies Is a Mess, But Not a Heinous One | Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If Birdman and Megalopolis shared a child, it might end up something like Digger. Alejandro González Iñárritu brings the cascading, rambunctious intensity he's known for, and Tom Cruise delivers an unhinged presence not unlike Michael Keaton's in Birdman. But there's something bigger here; there's more at stake: a multi-layered epic that can't seem to decide if it's a satire, a drama, or something far more meta and self-aware. Maybe it's all at once, which begs the question of whether it can
Brad Pitt's New Action Thriller Is a Must-See Cinematic Experience | Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the depths of the Alaskan wilderness, where the world is still old, man and beast fight for survival. You had me at Brad Pitt. Heart of the Beast is one of those movies that can be easily pitched in one line, and throw one of the greatest movie stars of all time in the mix, and you've got potential for a classic.

Tom Hardy Explains Why His MobLand Character Doesn't Have a Backstory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's hard to imagine the acclaimed MobLand saga without its anchor protagonist, Harry Da Souza. However, Tom Hardy's character remains one of the show's biggest enigmas despite his central role as a dutiful family man and reliable fixer for the Harrigan empire. Although Hardy has previously opened up about Harry's emotional struggles, he has resisted any straightforward attempts to deconstruct the character, which only fuels speculation about his mysterious past. By creating an account, you agre
$439 Million High Fantasy Movie Can Finally Deliver Long-Awaited Follow-up After 10 Years (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Infinite articles could be written about all the doomed fantasy franchises to receive enormous production budgets only to fall flat on the fundamentals of writing. The Wheel of Time finally hit its stride and got canceled. I struggled to get into Netflix's The Witcher even in the beginning. But before this wave of post-Game of Thrones, cultural sensation-seeking epics, there was 2016’s Warcraft, the movie that sought to bring one of the most widely recognizable fantasy universes in the world to
