I’m a huge fan ofFede Alvarez’sEvil Deadremake, but clearly his focus was on delivering stunning gore rather than embracing the irreverence and playfulness of the original films. However, now Starz is swooping in to change that because their new series,Ash vs. Evil Dead, taps right back into everything that made the first films so special....

But if you want to revisit all the awkwardness that comes with puberty and burgeoning sexuality, luckily there’s Netflix’sBig Mouth, returning for its sophomore season this October. It’s very wrong, but it feels oh so right. You can judge for yourself in the new Season 2 trailer that was released earlier today, as long as you don’t mind a visit from the Shame Wizard....

WithDaniel Craig’s tenure as 007 coming to a close next month,James BondproducersBarbara BroccoliandMichael G. Wilsonhave been fielding a lot of questions about who will take up the title next. In 2006 Craig debuted as the seventh iteration of the suave British spy inCasino Royale, but it doesn’t sound like an eighth actor will be cast until he’s had a chance to fully celebrate his fifteen years as James Bond. We’re not thinking about it at all," said Broccoli, in an interview on BBC Radio 4....

As Adam Chitwood’sreviewofA United Kingdompoints out, the movie is nice. It’s pleasant. It has two splendid leads inDavid OyelowoandRosamund Pike. But whereas Adam saw that movie at TIFF in September 2016, it is being released now. And that “nice” story is now a very comforting one. It’s the type of true story where true love defeats a divisive government in which officials play people and races like they’re pawns on a chessboard, and because there’s a true triumph here,A United Kingdombecomes medicinal entertainment for our current global state of affairs....

On the face of things, the opening of “The Law of Vacant Places,” the magnificent season premiere ofFargoSeason 3, is about evil. A cold, detached military officer in 1980s Berlin tells a confused, worried man that he is the murderer of his girlfriend, despite the man’s insistence that they simply have the wrong name under the wrong address in their files. He insists that he has a wife, not a girlfriend, and that she offered the officers that came to pick him up cups of tea for their trouble....

There have beena lotof questions surrounding the fate of 20th Century Fox’s Marvel movies ever since it was revealed that Disney would be acquiring the Fox movie studio. Over the past few years, Fox had really been hitting its stride as a competitor to Disney’s Marvel Studios, crafting individualized, successful Marvel Comics adaptations likeDeadpoolandLoganthat stood in stark contrast to the universe-friendly, PG-13 MCU movies.
