Disney’s direct-to-consumer streaming service has an official name: Disney+. Disney Chairman and CEOBob Igerrevealed the official name, logo and new platform details today on the company earning call. Iger says the service is on track for a late 2019 release (which makes sense since that’s about when their remaining Netflix contracts come to an end.) Iger also confirmed new details about how the service will function. While we’ve known for a while that the service would incorporate Disney’s core brands, Iger revealed that the content will live on five hubs within the service: Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and National Geographic....

While there’s plenty to be excited about with regards toStar Wars: The Last Jedi, one of the biggest draws is that it’s a brand newRian Johnsonfilm. The director behindBrick,The Brothers Bloom, andLooper, as well as the best episode ofBreaking Badever (“Ozymandias”, has built up a devoted fan base over the years with his diverse yet assured filmography, always showcasing his talent in new and interesting ways. So in some ways, the fact that we’re getting a new film written and directed by Rian Johnson is as exciting (if not moreso) as the fact that we’re getting a newStar Warsmovie....

Emma Caulfieldmight be first recognizable to genre fans after having played the charming vengeance demon Anya onBuffy the Vampire Slayer, but that’s not how she ended up playing a pivotal supporting role in Disney+‘sWandaVision.

Schaeffer, who, as head writer ofWandaVision,has since gone on to bring the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s wildest new entry to life, brought Caulfield in to play the key role of Dottie, a Westview resident who seems to be playing multiple layers of one woman....

One of the finest shows of the year so faris FX’sShōgun,adapted fromJames Clavell’s beloved novel. It’s a fantastic drama and historical snapshot, inspired by real characters and events. The showrunners and directors bring feudal Japan to life with opulent production design and costuming, aided by beautiful cinematography. It may be FX’s most visually impressive undertaking yet, more like something you’d see on HBO. The series' greatest strength, however, is the writing....

Lord, give me a truly stupendous bomb orCrazy Rich Asians-style breakout hit before I die of box office boredom. (Heck, I’ll take anotherVenom, chomping up box office records despite being an objectively terribly film.) In anothersloooowweek without a nationwide release,Ralph Breaks the Internettook the top spot for the third Friday in a row, raking in another $3.5 million toward a projected $16 million weekend. The Disney Animation sequel toWreck-it Ralphonce again toppedDr....

It wound up getting four Academy Award nominations and two wins, and one of those nominations went to Sidibe, putting her in the Best Actress category alongside icons likeHelen MirrenandMeryl Streep.
