Last week,we got a trailerfor Netflix’s upcoming documentary,Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, which premieres on Friday. But it looks like Hulu wants to beat Netflix to the punch by releasing their own Fyre Festival documentary,Fyre Fraud, which is available starting today.

If you haven’t seenGremlinsin a while, you may have forgotten just how gnarly of a movie it is. Yes it’s a horror-comedy set during Christmastime, and yes Gizmo is adorable, and yes there’s a fluffy dog. But the bad gremlins also straight-up murder some folks, and try to murder others in disturbingly violent ways. But as dark asGremlinsgets, the original script for the now-iconic film was even darker. I recently spoke with filmmakerChris Columbusfor an upcoming episode ofCollider Connectedtimed to his new Netflix movieThe Christmas Chronicles: Part Two, and during our discussion of his career thus far, I had to ask about his original script forGremlinswhich I’d heard was incredibly dark....

WhenNetflix’sDaredevilended in 2018, fans were clamoring for the Man Without Fear to return to their TV screens the instant the beloved series came to an end. What the initial iteration of the series did so well was how Daredevil’s adversaries always came back in some way, shape, or form. The Hand was always looming in the darkness and even returned as the main antagonist ofThe Defenders. This mostly continues with Daredevil: Born Again, and the proof is in the utilization of returning adversaries such as Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio),Benjamin Pointdexter, a....

WithDavid Gordon Green’sStrongeropening this weekend, I sat down withJake GyllenhaalandJeff Baumanto talk about the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival last week. If you haven’t seen the trailers, the true story drama starsGyllenhaalas Bauman, an ordinary man who became a symbol of heroism and strength after losing both of his legs during the tragic 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

The Theory of Everythingwas one of the more surprisingly memorable and visually alluring movies that made it to the Oscar race in 2014, especially considering that the trailers for the movie made it look like total biopic tripe.

And directorJames Marshwas one of the principle reasons that the film works as well as it does....
