In the penultimate episode, “The Bells,” Dany broke bad fully, laying waste to a surrendered King’s Landing and killing every man, woman, and child in her way....

Every year HBO likes to troll us just a little bit with its episode titles and synopses forGame of Thrones, which are comically vague. But they will never come close to the masterful obfuscations of AMC andMatthew Weinerback in theMad Mendays, where there was no point in having synopses or even a “next week on.” At least withGame of Throneswe can glean a little bit about what might be coming next, even though we’re all in the dark now since the show has gone past the books....

Marvel has released 13 “new” images fromGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2images. I put “new” in quotations because technically all of these images were previously seen in the latest trailer for the film, but now you can see them in glorious hi-resolution, and I’m not going to say no to a film this bright and colorful. The movie looks like an absolute blast, and I’m not surprised that they’re loading up on Baby Groot images to sell this thing....

Spoilers forHalloween2018 are discussed below. David Gordon Green’sHalloweenis a memba-berries movie.South Parkcoined the term when referring toStar Wars: The Force Awakens, singling out a sequel that was more about reminding people what they liked in the past rather than doing something new. What makes Green’sHalloweenfascinating as a bit of nostalgia is how it tries to strip away the franchise mythology while constantly reminding you of the originalHalloween. It’s a movie that can be aggressively self-aware as it tries to both dismantle the other movies and yet also place a monumental burden on the relationship between Laurie Strode and Michael Myers that the narrative does not support....

There’s a lot aboutJojo Rabbitthat makes it an especially bold and challenging concept to pull off. Adapted from theChristine Leunenspenned novelCaging Skies, the film puts the spotlight on 10-year-old Jojo Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis) growing up in Germany during the later years of World War II. Told largely from Jojo’s perspective, the film explores his enthusiasm for Nazi Germany including frequent visits from his imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler (Taika Waititi). If that concept once gave you pause, it’s easy to understand why, but the final film wound up being an extremely endearing and poignant piece about kindness, understanding and the dangers of hateful belief systems....
