Pretend I said something clever about spice because Warner Bros. has released a new Dune trailer. An adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic science fiction novel, Dune stars Timothée Chalamet as hero Paul Atreides, with Zendaya, Oscar Isaac, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, and Jason Momoa in supporting roles. The first of a planned two-part …

“Heart of the Matter Part 2” closes the book on a lousy season of The Flash, and it feels like exactly the right episode on which to end it. It’s mostly bad – at times really bad – but there are moments that make you wish these writers could pull it together already because this …

“Fail Safe” is one of those “taking stock” episodes following a big event. It isn’t flashy or exciting, and it won’t be anyone’s favorite, but it’s important to catch up with the characters and see how something as cataclysmic as humanity almost being wiped out by a psychotic alien who’s brainwashed Superman affects them. It …

If nothing else, Kevin Smith is proof that you can always go home again. Deadline exclusively reports that Lionsgate will be distributing Clerks III, the latest (let’s not say “last”) movie in Smith’s View Askewniverse series. Clerks III is the second sequel to Smith’s debut film, Clerks, and the eighth entry in the Askewniverse, following …

Superman & Lois returns from a two-week break with “Through the Valley of Death,” and it’s like it never left. Once more, the show demonstrates how well it understands the essence of Superman, not just in how it depicts him but in the effect he has on others. It also presents another compelling moral dilemma, …

“Heart of the Matter Part 1” isn’t very good; at times, it’s so bad it would be embarrassing if someone walked in on you watching it. But there are a couple of truly great moments, mostly due to the images they create, that have glimmers of the excellent show The Flash once was and almost …

Perhaps better than anything I’ve ever seen, “For All Time. Always.” epitomizes the phrase, “What the hell did I just watch?” All of the problems with Loki reach their apex in this finale, an oppressively boring “climax” that bungles its humor – the placement of which is, as ever, misjudged – fails to provide a …

Black Widow has been around for a few days now, both in theaters and on Disney+ (for an extra fee that’s significantly more than the price of a movie ticket even here in New York City), and if the box office is any indication, people are seeing it – and, according to the Rotten Tomatoes …

Black Widow is not what you think it is. It may be what you thought it was because it’s what the early trailers led you to believe: a fun, grounded (as much as these movies can be, anyway) Marvel film in the vein of The Winter Soldier. But outside of the trailers and posters (and, …

The Flash is finally on the right track, even if it’s a little too late to make much of an impact. “P.O.W.” is a good episode that should have been better, but it’s let down by what came before it. Season 7 has been so dull and haphazardly constructed that, now that we’re finally getting …
