The sky is blue, water is wet, andM. Night Shyamalanis going to use a plot twist to tell a story. Them’s are just the rules of the universe, folks. Although it is true that the writer/director often traffics in the thriller genre, a house practically built on plot twists, it’s inarguable that ever sinceThe Sixth Senseput Shyamalan on the map the filmmaker has used the art of the misdirect in all of his most notable tales....

I don’t envyAndy Serkis’ task of doing a live-action, motion-capture version ofThe Jungle Bookafter Disney beat him to the punch in 2016 and picked up almost a billion dollars worldwide along with an Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Being first is tough enough in Hollywood, and then you have to compete with a movie that was a massive success. But comparisons toThe Jungle Bookaren’t what hurt Serkis’Mowgli: Legend of the Jungleas much as his desire to take the adaptation in an incredibly dark direction....
Hey! How’ve you been? Feeling generally normal? Sleeping well? Not at all worried that a serial killer could come get you at any minute? Well, allow us to change all of that for you.

The return ofOutlander(after a longer-than-usual hiatus) brings with it some good news: In its fifth season, the time travel period romance has truly found its footing. While the early seasons had a habit of wavering in quality, especially when it came to the pacing and an over-reliance on voice-over, the series has now found a new level of maturity which matches its central characters. It’s still a bit odd to remember that over the past four seasons, one-time highlander Jamie (Sam Heughan) and unstuck-in-time Claire (Caitriona Balfe) have experienced over 20 years of life, and now have a grown daughter and grandchild....
Disney has unveiled a series of high-resolution images fromPirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, offering a new look at the upcoming fifth film in the popular franchise.Gore Verbinskidirected the initialPiratestrilogy to thrilling results, but the franchise went through something of a soft reboot withPirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tidesvia directorRob Marshall. That film shiftedJohnny Depp’s Jack Sparrow from supporting character to protagonist to mixed results, but now another sequel is on the horizon with another change-up in store....
The sheer quantity of Netflix’s output of original science fiction films can be overwhelming for genre films to separate the high-end prestige projects from generic rip-offs of other popular titles. When everything is cataloged under the same content bubble, a title likeThe Discoverycan easily go unnoticed. Although the simple title and stark poster may indicate thatThe Discoveryis just another streaming title, the film hails fromThe One I LoveandWindfallfilmmakerCharlie McDowell, and was picked up by the streaming service for exclusive distributionafter its premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival....

Ever since HBO sent critics theSuccessionfinale weeks ago, I’ve been begging my fellow reviewers to watch it and let me know so we can discuss. “Have you seen it? Have youseen it yet?” Because for all of the great moments thatSuccessiongave us throughout its first dark season, nothing compared to the emotional wringer of its finale, “Nobody Is Ever Missing.” Each Roy child has a stand-out moment, and while I’m tempted to focus on Kendall first, since his story so perfectly wraps up the season, the Number One Boy will have to go last....
