It’s fitting that Marc Webb’s first movie was the romantic comedy (500) Days of Summer. Not relevant experience for directing any other superhero movie perhaps (certainly not a Nolan-style Batman pic or the frustratingly sexless Captain America), but for this Spider-Man reboot that experience surely does help. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is fundamentally a prologue […]
Game of Thrones has never been short on brutality. This is a show that has featured, to name just a few atrocities, incest, rape, cannibalism, infanticide, castration, and tonight one of the Night’s Watch mutineers drank wine out of Jeor Mormont’s skull. But it’s all that baggage that the viewer brings to GoT that makes […]
A rare misfire in a long line of fantastic DC animated films. The talented folk from DC and Warner Bros. big the latest in a long line of animated films with Son of Batman. Following such great outings as Justice League: WAR and The Flashpoint Paradox, I was excited to see the return of the […]
I’m filling in this week with Game of Thrones, as regular reviewer T. Dawson is off gallivanting across Great Britain on vacation. Last nights episode, which begins in the immediate wake of what fans have dubbed, The Purple Wedding, felt a bit, well, less impactful than the show previous episodes. Of course, no one could have hoped […]
Your regularly scheduled reviewer of Hannibal, Trevor Dawson has flown the coop for the week. Brilliant mind and fellow Gambit reviewer, Samir Roy and I put our heads together to unpack “Su-zakana”. Samir: So this opening scene! Such a perfect way to talk plainly but obliquely about trying to catch Hannibal. Talking about trying to catch a […]
Strap in everyone, there are only two episodes left of Lindsay and we’ve been lied to, things don’t get better. Pro tip: When you want to let the world know you’re in a really great in place in life, film yourself crying and smoking on the floor of your apartment. Lohan has taken to shooting […]
Straight from the hard-hitters at Entertainment Tonight comes the trailer for Annie, the modern-day retelling of the story of everyone’s favorite little orphan. (Ed. Note: No one has cared about “Annie” in a few decades.) Let’s check it out: http://youtu.be/nrxc8rS2W2E HAHAHAHAHA what the fuck? Poor Quvenzhane Wallis, this looks dumb as shit. Of course Cameron […]
New cults, kidnapping and throat slitting? Must be a new episode of The Following. Throughout the second season, we’ve heard a lot talk about what characters have “sacrificed”. From Joe, Ryan, and former follower enthusiast, Emma – we’re now seeing that play out, literally.Monday nights episode of The Following, titled “Sacrifice”, marks the halfway point […]
Hannibal might be the most gorgeous show on television. Tonight’s installment, “Kaiseki,” is especially beautiful. The MVP is director of photography James Hawkinson, whose lens captures the hallucinatory, dreamlike version of the Northeast that Hannibal has made its trademark. Look at the way the river water surges around Will Graham’s legs, or the way the […]
