He says it’s bad (pretty uncontroversial) and then, as Jesus stories are wont to do, takes a wild left turn to say, “That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say, ‘Thou fool,’ shall be in danger of hell fire.”

Publisher Compile Heart and developer Sting have released the opening movie for bullet hell tactical RPG Touhou Spell Carnival.

No one is doing it like Sydney Sweeney, our most idiosyncratic young movie star. Riding rising fame from The White Lotus and Euphoria, her true star turn technically started at the end of 2023 with the release of Anyone but You, a raunchy throwback rom-com that turned into a massive box-office hit. After that she starred in the awful and derided Madame Web, but managed to come out the other side not just unscathed but brushing it off with A-list energy, joking about the movie’s failure on Saturday Night Live mere weeks after it opened. Her next big win is Immaculate, a weird, fascinating, and extremely fun new horror movie that’s coming to theaters later in March.

Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming Netflix movie casts her as a “brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence” in the sci-fi action flick Atlas. But the first teaser for Atlas doesn’t really get into that relationship with AI or the renegade robot with whom Lopez’s character “shares a mysterious past.” What the teaser does do is raise one question: Who on the production of this movie played a ton of Titanfall?

Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movies can seem like a rebuke to Hollywood’s quip era. They are as far as you can get from the Marvel rule that no situation is so grave, no stakes so high that they can’t be punctuated by a smart, self-aware gag. These are solemn, earnest movies, modeled on classical cinematic epics like Lawrence of Arabia and intent on delivering the bizarre visions of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi books in as straight-faced a manner as possible.

Unseen concept art for The Super Mario Bros. Movie has recently come to light, revealing that several notable characters from the video games were originally supposed to appear in the movie, but for some reason never did.

The past couple decades or so have seen fairy-tale subversion afterfairy-tale subversion where a princess doesn’t want fancy dresses and a handsome prince, and instead decides to pick up a sword or split-kick her attackers.

Watch Dogs, Ubisoft's open-world sci-fi hacker series, is reportedly the latest in an ever-growing list of video games getting the live-action movie treatment, with Talk to Me actor Sophie Wilde said to be in talks to star.

Remember when Ubisoft announced they were working on a movie adaptation of hacking series Watch Dogs, before it was even released? I sure didn’t! Well, allow us both to be reminded of something from over a decade ago, because the Watch Dogs film is still apparently A Thing. It’s more of A Thing now, too, because it has actual names attached rather than just a corporation’s vague “excitement” about licensing out its IP.

A based on the Ubisoft series of video games has been revealed, alongside the film’s lead actress.

It’s hard to know where to start in describing how bad Imaginary is. The new horror movie from Blumhouse and director Jeff Wadlow (Kick-Ass 2) starts with the simple but promising premise of a haunted stuffed animal and a malicious imaginary friend, but its bland characters, muddy storytelling, and lack of scares leave behind a movie more lifeless than a teddy bear with no stuffing.

During a recent interview with Variety, Deadpool vet teased the amount of surprise cameos that fans should anticipate in Marvel Studios’ movie.

Denis Villeneuve’s planned trilogy of Dune movies is unmistakably focused on telling the story of Paul Atreides, as played by Timothée Chalamet. But just because it’s Paul’s story doesn’t mean he’s the main character of all of the movies. In fact, one of the cleverest, most effective methods Villeneuve uses to show us Paul’s journey in Dune: Part Two is by subtly shifting the Freman warrior Chani (Zendaya) from her initial role as narrator and love interest into the movie’s main character. And Zendaya is one of the few actors who could actually pull that off.

As we’ve covered multiple times on the site, video games are slowly being accepted into other mediums beyond the gaming space. For example, Nintendo has made a literal theme park celebrating Mario and will have Donkey Kong and others join him soon. Then, you have seen Mario and Sonic in big-budget movies that have done incredibly well for themselves, with more on the way. Then, in the live-action space, things like Naughty Dog’s treasured franchise have proven you can do Emmy-worthy content based on video games. But the real question we want to ask is, is Square Enix really trying to do the same thing?

Back in 2022, Vera Drew’s highly personal, incredibly irreverent stylized memoir movie The People’s Joker made a splashy debut at the Toronto International Film Festival — in that immediately after its premiere, DC Comics’ parent company, Warner Bros., filed a cease-and-desist order against the movie, shutting down all subsequent screenings and throwing the movie’s future into doubt. It’s taken years for the film to see the light of day, outside of the occasional festival screening. I saw it at the 2023 Fantastic Fest, where Vera Drew was present to talk about the experience, but was careful not to address the question of whether her film might ever get a real theatrical run. But now, according to the poster, it’s “coming soon. Legally. Seriously.”

DreamWorks revealed the first trailer for its upcoming animated movie The Wild Robot on March 5, and it teases a pretty gorgeous movie, full of vibrantly colorful wildlife and vivid, stylized takes on natural settings. And smack in the middle of it is a robot that seems mighty familiar — but familiar in different ways in practically every shot.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is an all-time classic, but there's no doubt that its in-game mirrors have always been slightly wobbly in places. Now though, we finally know why, and it centres around a workaround put in place due to a lack of video memory – at least in the PS2 version.
