Jokeris steamrolling its way to over a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, so a sequel is almost a given at this point. After all, sequels have been announced based on far, far less success (Universal’sDark Universe, anyone?). But according toJokerstarJoaquin Phoenixin a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, he’s not interested in participating in a sequel “just because the first movie is successful.” Indeed, part of what drew him to the role in the first place was the fact that it was a self-contained story that almost certainly wouldn’t become a franchise....

Justice Leaguehad a bad weekend. It drastically underperformed at the box office, and its failure will likely cause Warner Bros. to reconsider its strategy for the DCEU movies if they haven’t already. It’s also a massive failure because Warner Bros. basically made the film twice, once with original directorZack Snyderand thenJoss Whedonwas brought on and heavily reshot the film. Now Snyder’s fans want his “cut” of the movie released along with the original score by composerJunkie XL....

Ghostface asks the identity of the killer inFriday the 13th(1980) and Casey (Drew Barrymore) answers, her fear turning into anger when the killer taunts the girl. “Listen, it was Jason!

As I discussed earlier this year whenMidnight Specialcame out, the writer-directorJeff Nicholshas a bit of an issue with fathers in his movies, and that goes as much for his lovely debut,Shotgun Stories, as it does withMidnight Special. This hang-up would be easier to come to terms with if it didn’t mean that his female characters are often pushed to the sidelines to put more focus on fathers and sons, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with his upcoming civil-rights drama,Loving, which you’re able to check out the trailer for right below....

Somespoilersahead for the upcoming episode ofMarvel’s Spider-Man. Marvel’s Spider-Manhas already introduced a bunch of fan-favorite heroes and villains from the pages of Marvel Comics, even if not all of them have super-powers or colorful costumes just yet. For Miles Morales, that’s about to change. Fans of the character, a relatively recent addition to theSpider-Mancanon, have already met Miles this season as one of the youngest and brightest students at Horizon High, but this weekend’s episode is going to give him a whole new dimension....

On my way out of seeingMe Before You, I compared it to a warm cup of tea. I thought it was charmingly inoffensive, and yet upon further reflection, it does hide a few somewhat offensive sentiments. In trying to be a chaste, romantic fantasy, the film is at a loss when it comes to the hard realities of physical disability. It shuns the nastiness of that pain to the background so that the audience can relish the love story in the foreground....

Ladies and gentleman, sitcom dreams do come true. The folks over at FOX looked at the whacky ensembles on their comedy hitsNew GirlandBrooklyn Nine-Nineand thought, those people should be in the same room. Well, they’re right and this is all but guaranteed to be an absolutely delightful hour of television. The romantically intertwined, Manhattan loft-dwellingNew Girlcrew will team up withBrooklyn Nine-Nine’s offbeat, also somewhat romantically intertwined Brooklyn PD for a one-hour crossover event on Tuesday, October 11....

When it came toStar Wars: The Force Awakens, keeping the look of Maz Kanata (Lupita Nyong’o) and Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) a secret was partially due to unfinished visual effects and partially due to director J.J. Abrams’ love of the “mystery box”. Maz snuck onto the poster, but unless you’ve seenThe Force Awakensin theaters, you haven’t seen Snoke. And all of that build up was a bit underwhelming. We were hoping for some truly imaginative designs that necessitated the use of full-motion capture, but instead, Maz is just a play on Yoda, and Snoke is like a CGI version of the Emperor with a design so rudimentary that I was left to wonder why they didn’t just go with special effects makeup for the First Order’s big bad....
