In 1988, Ten Zan: The Ultimate Mission was released, marking a rare creative collaboration between the North Korean government and a Western filmmaker. It also, notably, sucked. Over the years since it came out, Ten Zan has gained attention for its overall absurdity as a movie, but the way it was made is just as…

Soon enough, faithful Aaliyah fans may not have to rely on a YouTube playlist to stream their favorite hits (that is, if you don’t own any physical copies). For a long time, that was the only way that you could enjoy the late R&B singer’s discography, as the majority of the “Try Again” performer’s work has been kept…

We live in an age of paranoid anxiety, where nobody can be totally sure whether or not a random person on the street is carrying the coronavirus or is a secret Trump supporter or whatever, and we’ve all been spending a lot of time isolated with the same people for months. That basically makes it the perfect time for…

Stefani Robinson has a bad case of what she’s been calling “pandemic brain”—so much so, she kind of forgot that FX was running an Emmys FYC campaign for What We Do In The Shadows. And so it was a surprise—first a shocking one, then a delightful one—when she got a phone call from her dad congratulating her on her…

Americans may only be familiar with Fever Pitch as a 2005 movie starring Jimmy Fallon as the world’s biggest Boston Red Sox fan, and Drew Barrymore as the girl he loves almost as much as he loves the Green Monster. But that film was inspired by a British film based on a Nick Hornby book made eight years earlier and…

Watch This offers movie recommendations inspired by new releases, premieres, current events, or occasionally just our own inscrutable whims. This week: We’re highlighting some of the best movies of 2020 so far that we didn’t review.

Here’s one cure for depression: Move to the idyllic English coast and dig up sea monster fossils with Kate Winslet. It works, apparently, for Saoirse Ronan, who stars alongside Winslet in Ammonite, a period romance from filmmaker Francis Lee (God’s Own Country). Today, Neon dropped a trailer for the buzzy feature, an…

Steve Carell’s Michael Scott was essential to the success of The Office’s American adaptation. As cartoonish as the role often was, it also capitalized well on the sad vulnerability of Carell’s humor, and, in the series’ best episodes, gave him an opportunity to showcase one of the most desperately lonely characters…

Tucked away in the rolling greens of Vernon, New Jersey sits the Mountain Creek Water Park, a clean and responsibly run day-trip destination catering to families in the Tri-State area. But in its ’80s heyday—and for two brief years in the 2010s, as part of an ill-fated nostalgia ploy—this facility was known as Action…

Showtime’s Ray Donovan aired seven seasons before wrapping earlier this year, so you’d be forgiven for not remembering the season one arc of Frank Whaley’s doomed FBI agent. Whaley, however, remembers it well, if for no other reason than he allegedly got slapped in the face by co-star Jon Voight while on set.

After a year in which all the things we enjoyed doing were taken away from us due to a deadly pandemic our government did nearly nothing to prevent, CBS All Access will comfort us with the story of an even deadlier plague that kills 99% of the population and gives rise to an authoritarian hellbilly. That’s right, the…

Ozzy Osbourne has been on this planet for a long time. He has seen Some Shit. He has lived Some Shit. And when he says, as he did in a Rolling Stone interview earlier this month, that he’s “never known anything like” this pandemic crisis, that’s some Real Shit. On his SiriusXM radio show Ozzy’s Boneyard (what a…

Jimmy Olsen’s brother is conspiring to kill him. The Daily Planet might be shutting down. Things are not looking good for Jimmy and crew at the beginning of the final issue of Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen. This twelve-issue maxi-series has been a delight: chock-full of twists and turns, with a fun supporting cast,…

Here’s a sentence we weren’t sure we’d ever get to actually type: The New Mutants is definitely coming to theaters this weekend. For a while, there was reason to wonder if Josh Boone’s teen superhero spin-off (in all likelihood, the final installment in the Fox iteration of the X-Men film franchise) would ever see the…

Back in 2016, Rudy Giuliani delivered what turned out to be a prophetically insane RNC shill-speech for Donald Trump. Well, four years, countless horrific scandals, a national reckoning with racism, one mishandled pandemic, and whatever the hell this was later, and here we are in 2020. Doing the whole goddamn thing…

Former (and future) Punky Brewster star and ’80s teen fashion icon Soleil Moon Frye has taken a collection of personal home videos featuring her friends and fellow teen actors and turned them into what sounds like a must-see documentary—especially for people who came of age in the late ’80s and early ’90s. Hulu has…

It made plenty of sense when Greg Berlanti decided to turn DC’s Green Arrow into a Christopher Nolan-esque dark vigilante for Arrow, with the success of that show setting off an entire superhero universe, but it made substantially less sense when Berlanti decided to do the same gritty reboot thing on The CW again with Riverdale

Boy, that was a scary 20-something weeks, huh? That’s how long it’s been since we did a real check-in on how much money new releases had made at the weekend box office. Onward made $10 million, something that we described as a “religious guitar movie” made $9.5 million, and Vin Diesel’s…

It all began, as so many things do, with a simple tweet:
