There has been early chatter that Incredibles 2 relies on nostalgia to achieve its ends. Let me be perfectly clear, I understand that (1) we’re in the middle of a nostalgia driven resurgence of a great many properties come back to lif...
Given Tim Burton's propensity for strangely dark films (Frankenweenie, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Mars Attacks, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, etc.), he's seemed an odd pick to direct children's movies--and yet was given...
Despite being a mediocre movie, Suicide Squad pushed weight at the box office to the tune of $325.1M domestic and $746.8M worldwide. Obviously, none of that had to do with Ben Affleck's Batman, so Warner Brothers and DC have been looking fo...
It’s been eleven years since we had an Ocean’s franchise film. But consider this, we went 41 years before 2001’s Ocean’s 11 remade the original Rat Pack film. Maybe we should have waited another 30?
The official artwork for the entire roster of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is now available for your viewing pleasure. Many of the characters have really similar models to previous games in the series. However, there are others that look simply amazing. I’m loving the new render for Young Link...
It's not even been three months since Ready Player One whelmed at the boxed office and already someone has come along and shown how that should have been done. Love it or hate it, the crux of RPO, outside of nostalgia, was the source mater...
Team Dtoid, I wanted - no, I really wanted, to make fun of this official poster for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Let's be honest, if a Summer flick delivers a poster that's just too confusing to understand, it is fair game for internet c...
[Warning: old show spoilers ahead] Citing an irreconcilable urge to shoot AMC in the head, Andrew Lincoln, aka Rick Grimes, star and lead of The Walking Dead is departing from the series. It's not clear why Lincoln is leaving the show,...
Nearly eight months ago, we reported that Spawn creator Todd McFarlane let slip at New York Comic Con 2017 that the next Spawn movie was still very much alive and clinking and that he’d partnered with Blumhouse to produce th...
I'm not really sure what a dramatic ballad like Céline Dion's "Ashes" is doing on the Deadpool 2 original soundtrack, or why there's a music video for it, or how it's not entirely a joke.
Just yesterday, new subscribers to the MoviePass service were only able to see four movies at the rate of $9.95 a month. That's a far cry from the one a day the service was made famous for. For the mathletes out there, assuming a 31-day mon...
Ant-Man's been in the news a lot over the past few days, but it has nothing to do with his forthcoming sequel release on July 6, just over two months away. Instead, it's owing to his conspicuous absence in Avengers: Infinity War; you may h...
Denzel Washington has basically always been better than everyone else in his movies. He’s smarter (Crimson Tide), faster (The Book of Eli), deadlier (Man on Fire), handsomer (all of them), and wittier (Training Day). Even when he&rsq...
Prom! That magical experience of near mythical importance for high school students. You'll dance. You'll drink. And then you'll definitely lose your virginity, because only losers haven't after prom has come and gone. The tradition, started...
Last summer yielded some hits and misses in ye olde Stephen King adaptation department. Obviously, we had It. Andy Muschietti's adaptation was refreshing, well directed and ideated creatively, and--most importantly--a hit with audiences. It...
FXX's original, animated spy series, Archer, is entering season 9. This will be the second season to take its beloved cast of miscreants and place them outside the show's normal time and setting. While season 8, titled Dreamland was a...
April Fools' ... has absolutely nothing to do with this utterly serious news: the forthcoming Sharknado 6 will close out the landmark series. Sad news for anyone aiming to get their bad movies on TV. For me, trying to rank the fi...
Die Hard doesn’t really need any sequels, but because Bruce Willis is still working, we’ll probably get at least one more anyway, in between Death Wish and Sixth Sense revivals. But, if the creators and stars of Workaholics were...
Surprising no one, with the official end of Justice League's box office run, it stands dead last in the DC Extended Universe tallies. Sad face, JL, sad face. Take a look at the global box office numbers: 1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of J...
Veteran comedic actor Bill Hader and writer-producer Alec Berg knew they had to develop a series for HBO, but didn't know what. While bouncing ideas off of each other, Bill said, "What if I was a hitman?" Alec was skeptical. "No, it'd be me...
[Editor's Note: Before we say anything, this recap will obviously go into detail about last night's episode of The Walking Dead, so there are going to be a ton of SPOILERS. Beginning now.] How often do we get to have a moment like this...
Annihilation is one of the best recent print to film adaptations. Strangely enough, this is not because it’s entirely faithful to the source material. Far from it. Sure, the bones might be same, as they are between any two human being...
Kung Fury, for the uninitiated, is a 2015 crowd-funded short film that pays homage to '80s cop and martial arts movies. It's solid gold shit, the best of bad movies, but coming in at only 31 minutes in length, it's never been able to call i...
It's important to begin this review by acknowledging the incredible heroism displayed and embodied by Spencer Stone, Alek Skarlatos, and Anthony Sadler. What they did on August 21, 2015, thwarting a terrorist attach on a French passeng...

One of the biggest hopes with Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars properties was that the cinematic universe would expand. No longer would we wait 20 or more years for the next iteration of films, and so far, this has proven tr...
