Because 2016 cares not for subtlety, this month marks the 40th anniversary of “Network.” Since its release in November 1976 to wide praise and an eventual heap of Oscars, director Sidney Lumet and writer Paddy Chayefsky’s excoriation of the exponentially money-driven, bottom-feeding tendencies of television news has only grown in renown, as each angry pundit updates the film’s library of prophecies about The State of Television Today.
With the ascent of an actual reality TV star to the U.S. Presidency following a broadcast news cycle that worked for everything but a dedication to public interest, it would seem that this depressing political season has reached the logical end of the film’s apocalyptic forecast, landing on a reality too absurd for even “Network” to dramatize: Howard Beale as President.

Donald Trump might need some aloe for that burn! On Monday night, President Barack Obama visited Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he participated in a second round of Presidential Mean Tweets.

A corrupt small-town sheriff is on the hunt for two runaway kids who took his car on a joy ride in Cop Car, an unnervingly funny thriller now available on Digital HD and On Demand, and debuting on Blu-ray and DVD on September 29, 2015, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

First and last seen looking like he was ready for a titanic fight with Earth’s mightiest heroes, it appears the Mad Titan will indeed be the main villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years to come. Sources are confirming all over the place today that Josh Brolin will play Thanos, first as a voice in James Gunn’s upcoming “Guardians of the Galaxy,” before doing what insiders are calling a more “prominent role” in Joss Whedon’s “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” later next year. The news was originally reported by Latino-Review, before the trades confirmed it with their own sources. I’m guessing an official announcement from Marvel will be forthcoming soon enough. Although we’ve already seen Thanos at the end of 2012′s “The Avengers” (screenshot below), he was played by a different actor back then. Brolin is coming off Robert Rodriguez’s “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For,...

In Alexander Payne’s Nebraska a father and son steer the American road comedy into a vanishing Midwest on the trail of a dubious fortune – and in search of an understanding of each other that once seemed impossible.
This is the story of the Grant family of Hawthorne, Nebraska. Now transplanted to Billings, Montana, stubborn, taciturn Woody (Bruce Dern in a role that won Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival) is well past his prime — such as it ever was — and possibly his usefulness, but he believes he’s got one last shot at mattering: a notice that he’s the lucky winner of a million-dollar sweepstakes.
To claim his fortune, Woody insists he must quickly get to the sweepstakes company’s office in Lincoln, Nebraska – a 750-mile journey that seems unlikely given that he can barely shuffle down the road a few blocks, at least not without stopping for a drink.

The only thing that's more annoying lately than logging on to Facebook to see another five engagement announcements is the constant talk of marriage on The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
The only saving grace (no pun intended) in "First and Last" was the fact that I think some of this cast is finally starting to realize that "marriage" and "teenager" don't belong in the same sentence.
It's like this show went from being the scripted Teen Mom to something on the Wedding Channel.
Without even bothering to get into statistics about marriage and age, let's focus on the many outstanding scenes that demonstrated Amy and Grace's reluctance to get hitched. I think Amy is truly 50/50 on the whole thing. She looks really happy in the above picture with Ricky. She loves Ricky, she loves John and I believe that some large part of her does want to marry Ricky.

The world is essentially looking at Zero Dark Thirty as “that movie about killing Osama Bin Laden,” which is sort of exactly what it is – we’re just not sure how it’s going to go about doing such a thing, and whether we’re going to get a wonderfully-rendered shot of a bullet making its way into the head of the world’s most wanted terrorist (well, former terrorist), or if the film will choose to play things on the subtler side.

I first came across the music of Jill Tracy when I reviewed a compilation of “Dark Cabaret” artists from renowned gothic label Projekt Records, and her song “In Between Shades” was one of the album's most memorable tracks. As fate would have it, while exploring more of her music (including an incredible live score to Nosferatu), I learned that she was closely involved in the short film The Fine Art of Poisoning, which is featured in FEARnet's ever-expanding horror shorts collection. One thing led to another, and soon we were chatting about her involvement in the film, her “musical séance” project, and her latest and most ambitious undertaking – a Musical Excavation of the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, with its intriguing collection of medical oddities.
FEARnet: Hi Jill, thanks for taking time out to talk to us. Jill: Thank you, same here! First off, I have to say The Fine Art...

Wreck-It Ralph (voice of Reilly) longs to be as beloved as his game’s perfect Good Guy, Fix-It Felix (voice of McBrayer). Problem is, nobody loves a Bad Guy. But they do love heroes… so when a modern, first-person shooter game arrives featuring tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Lynch), Ralph sees it as his ticket to heroism and happiness. He sneaks into the game with a simple plan – win a medal – but soon wrecks everything, and accidently unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens every game in the arcade. Ralph’s only hope? Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Silverman), a young troublemaking “glitch” from a candy-coated cart racing game who might just be the one to teach Ralph what it means to be a Good Guy. But will he realize he is good enough to become a hero before it’s “Game Over” for the entire arcade?...

Winner of a 2012 Audience Award at Sundance, comedian Mike Birbiglia wrote, directed and stars in this sincere and hilarious film, based on his off-Broadway show and bestselling book. It’s also the first movie co-written by Ira Glass and co-produced by “This American Life.” The story: when an aspiring stand-up fails to express his true feelings about his girlfriend and his stalled career, his anxiety comes out in increasingly funny and dangerous sleepwalking incidents.
Sleepwalk With Me features Lauren Ambrose (“Six Feet Under”), Carol Kane (“Taxi”), James Rebhorn (“Meet the Parents”), Cristin Milioti (star of Broadway’s “Once”), plus comedians Marc Maron, Kristen Schaal, Wyatt Cenac, Jesse Klein, Henry Phillips and David Wain.
“A funny and insightful movie. I could have watched it for ten hours.”

Beca (Anna Kendrick) is that girl who.d rather listen to what.s coming out of her headphones than what.s coming out of you. Arriving at her new college, she finds herself not right for any clique but somehow is muscled into one that she never would have picked on her own: alongside mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sound when they sing together, in the new out-loud comedy Pitch Perfect.
When Beca takes this acoustic singing group out of their world of traditional arrangements and perfect harmonies into all-new mash-ups, they fight to climb their way to the top of the cutthroat world of college music competitions. This could wind up either the coolest thing they.ll ever do or the most insane, and it will probably be a little of both.
Loaded with new takes on old...
