When the first season ofMr. Robotdebuted, it caught everyone off guard in a few different ways. Firstly, it was a completely unexpected and serious series for USA, who had previously stocked their lineup of original series with easy, breezy, summer-y shows.Mr. Robotdebuted in the summer, but it didn’t look like it. It was dark, tortured, twisted, but the choice to debut it away from the mad rush of the fall and even the spring meant that critics and viewers alike had time to actually pay attention to it....

Wild Bunch and Gaumant have released a newThe Neon Demonimage. The creepy, cool premise revolves around an aspiring model (Elle Fanning) moving to Los Angeles where “her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will take any means necessary to get what she has.” However, judging by this image, it looks like she’s not the one who’s doing the bleeding, so those beauty-obsessed women might have their women cut out for them....

Netflix has debuted the official trailer forDavid Attenborough’s upcoming documentary series,Life in Color. At first glance, the trailer appears as though it’s advertising your run-of-the-mill nature docuseries showcasing the ways in which animals use color to survive in the wild. About 30 seconds in, however, the trailer surprises viewers with an unexpected twist. Of course, there are plenty of nature documentaries that discuss the same subject matter. The first third of the Netflix trailer features colorful and curious birds using their plumage to find mates, tigers in the wild using their stripes to hide and protect their young, and adorable ermines using their natural white coats to hide from enemies in the snow (among other picturesque nature scenes)....

As everyone on the planet knows, opening next week is directorRian Johnson’sStar Wars: The Last Jedi. Unlike most movies where a lot of people know all the twists and turns before opening day, Disney and Lucasfilm have done an amazing job keeping the secrets ofThe Last Jediunder wraps. It’s actually a small miracle they did it considering the speed at which things leak on the internet. Knowing the cast was extremely guarded with what they would say about their characters and the film, when I attended the Los Angeles press day, I tried my best to ask some fun questions that I knew they could answer....

I absolutely loved writer-directorBrad Bird’sIncredibles 2. It’s one of those rare sequels that just gets everything right and reminds you why Pixar is such a special company. Trust me, if you were nervousThe Incrediblessequel would be anything less than amazing, you can relax.

In an interview with Deadline after appearing on Marvel’s D23 showcase panel, Cox referred to his appearance on the show as only a single episode, rather than a multitude of episodes, as many fans had hoped after he appeared in a recent mid-season trailer for the series....

Ever since his breakout turn on the TV seriesMoonlighting,Bruce Willishas been destined for big things, but few imagined just how big those things would end up being. Forty years later, I consider him one of the greatest movie stars America has ever produced, and as such, think he should be considered a national treasure. WithDie Hard, Willis established himself as one of the world’s premiere action stars. He didn’t have the physique of anArnold Schwarzeneggeror the training of aJean-Claude Van Damme, but he was a man of the people, and the people have loved his various everyman heroes over the ensuring years....
