Chris Prattreturns as Peter Quill inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but this time around, he’s a very different Peter Quill. He went through quite a bit in the first movie and round two is all about taking his character journey a step further and giving fans what they want while also defying expectations in the process.

It could be easy to dismissIngrid Goes Westas an attack on society’s newfound reliance on social media, perhaps a not too distant cousin of someBlack Mirrorepisode; but the truth is somewhat more layered. Yes –Ingridfocuses on a troubled woman (Aubrey Plaza) consumed by the ideal Instagram lives of others (Elizabeth Olsen&Wyatt Russell) to the point where she moves to LA and befriends said Insta-couple so as to be EXACTLY like them....
There are often two stories being told in the movies of Barcelona-born filmmakerJaume Collet-Serra, the story in the script and the story of their own making. In his remake of Andre de Toth’sHouse of Wax, the conceit of a case involving wax statues made with corpses remains central but instead ofVincent Price’s scarred artist getting his revenge on a greedy backer, there are twin brothers, Vincent and Bo (Brian Van Holt)....
As of this writing, we are still ten days away fromTodd Phillips’Jokerhitting theaters, and yet the comic book drama starringJoaquin Phoenixas the Clown Prince of Crime has already sparked its fair share of controversy.

And, we aren’t the only ones to feel that way as,after just two episodes, a conspiracy theory has already been sparked aboutRyan Murphy’s latest co-created production....
I feel bad forJustice League. It’s a film that doesn’t even really have a filmmaker at this point.Zack Snyderdelivered a cut of the movie, he left the project,Joss Whedonheavily reshot the film, and then Warner Bros. mandated a cut that needed to be two hours. The result is a film whose crowning achievement is modest coherence. Unlike the disastrousBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, you can follow the plot from A to B to C and the one-dimensional character motivations make sense....
