For those keeping count, the Coen references in FX’sFargocontinued to rage on in “The Principle of Restricted Choice.” This began with the overhead shot ofCarrie Coon’s Gloria Burgle restlessly staring up at the ceiling in a near-identical pose asJosh Brolin’s Texas-bred bandit inNo Country for Old Menbefore he returns to the blood-strewn scene of a deal gone very wrong. The bandit’s reasoning was arguably humanistic – he seemed to want to deliver some water to a dying man – but for Coon’s lonesome sheriff, there seems to be something more like a pestering curiosity....

Many books have been adapted into TV shows and movies, and some have even gone the opposite way, but few have dealt with the divisiveness of HBO’sGame of ThronesversusGeorge R. R. Martin’sA Song of Ice and Firebook series. Starting in Season 2, the TV show started to diverge from the books in major ways, mostly regarding character moments. New characters were added, many were cut, personalities were adjusted, but most of the story’s larger beats remained intact....

Fairy tales have long captured the imaginations of animators both in the Western and Japanese film industries, providing a unique avenue to explore fantastical heroes, menacing villains, and moral dilemmas. However, Studio Ghibli remains distinct in style and thematic exploration, with each film resembling a series of vividly detailed paintings as the focus on natural settings remains eminent. Blending Western stories with Japanese folklore,Hayao Miyazakiimbues his films with his sensibilities that illustrate his fascination with magical realism, child-like wonder, and the sublimity of nature....

Cannibalistic, satanic, hippie horror films are not easy to come by, especially ones that feature cannibalistic, satanic hippies that also happen to be infected by rabies. But that’s exactly what you get withDavid E. Durston’s 1971 filmI Drink Your Blood, which focuses on a group ofCharles Manson-esque hippies that worship the devil as they terrorize a tiny town after eating rabies-infested meat pies. One of the first films to ever receive an X-rating for violence, this wild movie revels in its own insanity by taking every classic ’70s horror trope and amplifying it with drugs and disease....

Back in October, we learned that FOX was rebootingLethal Weaponas a TV series, and the response was pretty much a unanimous “No FOX! Bad FOX!” with a hint of “But why?” Today, FOX has ordered the reboot series to pilot withDamon Wayans Sr.set to star andMcGon board to direct. No FOX. Bad FOX.

There’s a moment inLove, Simon– the film adaptation ofBecky Albertalli’sSimon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda– where the titular Simon Spier admits to himself, “I’m done living in a world where I don’t get to be who I am. … I deserve a great love story, and I want someone to share it with.” Some may roll their eyes at the “everyone deserves a love story” rallying cry that’s been at the forefront of the film’s marketing campaign, but it should not be dismissed....

Guillermo del Toro has a thing about monsters. I think we can all agree on that.
