It’s nice when filmmakers are on social media. It’s cool to be able to reach out and ask them questions on the off chance that they might respond. They hold a wealth of interesting information on the films they’re working on, and more than that, it’s nice just to get a glimpse into the process of filmmaking directly from the director. It’s also fine to be excited for upcoming movies. There’s nothing wrong with being enthusiastic about a movie you’re able to’t wait to see, and it’s understandable to want a glimpse of an upcoming picture to sate your appetite for the finished feature....

There is a scene in the third episode ofTaboo(the final one available for review out of eight total) that sums up the series nicely. There sitsTom Hardy, co-creator (along with his fatherChips Hardyand writerSteven Knight) and star, as an adventurer with a dark past, James Delaney. He’s tattooed, pantless, and wearing a tattered old shirt that hides an assassin’s knife wound which he is still recovering from. He’s painted from head to toe in ash from a fireplace opposite which he now sits in a baroque styled room, mouth agape, staring at it with exceptional intensity because of a pattern he has recently exposed....

Ever sinceGame of Thronesbecame the most successful series in HBO’s history, other networks have been looking to find their own success within the fantasy genre. It’s harder than it sounds—in order to be effectively immersive, you’ve got to spend some serious money, and then on top of that you need compelling characters and storytelling that makes it all worthwhile. Which explains why, more often than not, these mimic shows have failed....

The animated series,Summer Playlist, was a Netflix original and only reached the platform in June. With only 14 episodes, the series is suddenly getting pulled not just from production, but from the platform altogether. Only two months in circulation, andSummer Playlistwill leave the platform in August....

Though only a producer on the filmAntlers, youcan see and feel the fingerprints of the master of the macabre,Guillermo del Toro, all over it. A bleak, overcast Pacific Northwest backdrop is the kind of ambiance that he thrives in. He passes the reins to the very capable hands ofScott Cooper,and if you’ve seenOut of the FurnaceorThe Pale Blue Eyeyou know that he can bring a haunting feel to an unorthodox project in a relatively short career behind the camera....

While aliens, demons, clones, and even ghosts were supernatural staples often seen onThe X-Files, there was one brand of monster that the show always struggled to crack: zombies. You don’t look back on the adventures of Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and immediately think of the undead, and that’s for good reason. However, there was one episode of the beloved sci-fi series that dove headfirst into zombie territory, an episode that doubled as an epilogue to the ill-fatedChris CarterseriesMillennium, complete withLance Henriksen’s Frank Black in tow....

A few months ago, I was standing on the set ofMichael Bay’sTransformers: The Last Knightoutside of Detroit, Michigan. In between getting to see Bay work up close for the first time and watching tons of explosions and gunfire, I was able to participate in a group interview withMark Wahlberg. Since he was in every shot, we had to keep starting and stopping our interview, but considering how busy he was, I was happy to get any time with him....
