Harry Potter: Best Moments the Movies Got Right

While it’s fun to talk about the movie moments that enrage us regarding theHarry Pottermovies, there are at least a couple handfuls of iconic book moments that the movies got absolutely right. Sometimes it’s because they stuck to the text and brought the moment to life straight from the page, and sometimes it’s because they took the essence of the scene and created an even better visual. With theFantastic Beastsmovies seemingly over, and a newHarry Potterseries in the works, let’s check out some of the scenes that theHarry Pottermovies got exactly right....

Kingsman 2 Trailer Teaser Reveals Channing Tatum's New Spy

Amongst the more potentially odd offerings that will be arriving before Oscar season gets into full swing,Kingsman: The Golden Circleis substantially higher than most of its ilk. I can’t speak to being a fan of the original film, which felt likeJames Bond Jr.but with anal sex jokes and exactly zero dramatic stakes, but it certainly wasn’t what I’d call ordinary. Like many adaptations ofMark Millargraphic novels, there was a constant sense that the movie was trying to shock you, showing off a rebellious attitude without ever taking the time to actually rebel against established, familiar structure or embrace complexity in its characters or story....

Lost: Damon Lindelof on the Original 3-Season Plan and Ending the Series

Much has been written, said, and debated aboutLostin the 10 years since it’s been off the air, but in that time the television landscape has changed dramatically precisely because ofLost. Shows likeMad MenandBreaking Badushered in the “prestige” era of television, during which seasons got shorter, storytelling got far more serialized, and major acting talents were no longer afraid of heading to “the small screen.” The fact thatLost— a heavily serialized story with supernatural undertones — survived at all on network television is a minor miracle, but people forget that spectacular first season (which won the Best Drama Series Emmy award) consisted of 25 episodes....

Man of Steel 2: George Miller Won't Direct; Confirms DC Talks

Last month, a rumor surfaced that directorGeorge Millermight be in line to direct a DC superhero movie. And not just any DC superhero film, but a sequel toMan of Steel, giving Miller the opportunity to tackle a Superman story once and for all. This was a curious notion not only because Miller is coming off the absolutely masterfulMad Max: Fury Road—which is proof positive that blockbuster filmmaking can be high art when you’ve got a visionary filmmaker at the helm—but also because Miller came close to rebooting Warner Bros....

Marvel's Eternals Movie Cast to Include Richard Madden in a Lead Role

Just as the MCU has wrapped up its first generation, comprising three phases and 22 films, withAvengers: Endgame, so too is Marvel Studios already hard at work crafting the next generation for an allnewgeneration of fans out there. If G2 shapes up in the same way that the original run did, we might not see a possible G3 until the 2030s, which makes me feel both incredibly old and tells me that the 2020s are going to be an interesting time for the increasingly cosmic MCU....

Elsbeth is a truly fun and endearing character, withCarrie Preston’s performance still excellent after all these years in the role.

Phaedra Parks' Inauthenticity is Enough To Keep Her Off RHOA

Relying on contour and couture instead of authenticity is a huge fail ifa reality starwants to connect with fans for the long term. Reality TV fans can admitthey prefer more drama than intellectin their favorite characters. It’s not entertaining to watch a woman work hard, make healthy decisions in relationships and support their girlfriends. Even if that’s what some viewers are aspiring to do in their own lives, reality television is a premiere destination for entertainment and laughs....

Okay. Well. Here we are. We’ve all been waiting with bated breath for what the Sony PlayStation 5’s controller will look like. Would Sony’s vanguard into the next generation keep up their traditional DualShock scheme? Or would they make a big swing? Now, the answer is here, and it is… more than a little puzzling. Introducing: The DualSense, the official PS5 controller. This is… odd looking. Right? Am I crazy? Typically, Sony’s modern PlayStation controllers have been sleek, monochromatic (cooler than cool black by default), and particularly “grown up” in comparison to their competitors....
