Addams Family Movie Trailer Sees the Family Moving to New Jersey

The new official trailer for MGM’sThe Addams Familyis here! It’s an improvement over the first cringe-worthy trailer, but this is going to be a tough sell for certain folks. On the surface, it’s a story about a non-traditional family who are perfectly happy with the way things are but bump up against prejudice when they come into contact with the “normal” world. That sounds like a great premise for a kids movie that adults can also enjoy (and learn from, hopefully), but these early teases aren’t super promising....

Alex Garland on Annihilation, That Netflix Deal, and More

If there’s one thing for certain aboutAnnihilation: it’s that it’s going to be really,reallyweird. It was an absolute certainty when I stepped on set last year and saw production stills of psychedelic mutations - plants shaped like people, decaying bodies merging into swimming pool tile, tentacle-looking black ‘growths’ filling every nook of a lighthouse… The imagery was more than spectacular – it was truly otherworldly. So it comes as no surprise that over a year later,Annihilationhas run up against some studio hesitation, a recentHollywood Reporter articlesuggesting less than desired test screening results prompted the nervous studio to release the film internationally on Netflix only (Annihilation, though, will still be released theatrically in the US)....

Allied Review: Brad Pitt Stars in Forgettable WWII Drama

On the surface, it looks like directorRobert Zemeckis’ wants to turn the World War II spy romance on its head with his latest film,Allied. Although the film lovingly tips its hat towardsCasablanca, it wants to question the nature of romance during wartime and if two people who are in the business of lies can ever be truthful with each other.

Batman and Harley Quinn Review: An Insulting Waste of Time

I have long given Warner Bros. Animation and DC Entertainment’s home video releases the benefit of the doubt when it comes to questionable narrative choices, their ability to handle mature subject matter in a responsible way, and their seeming reluctance to grow up. The studio took heat for their misogynistic treatment of Barbara Gordon inBatman: The Killing Joke, and more generally, their juvenile reliance on low-brow humor that butts up against over-sexualized characters and situations....
