Jane Levyhas really had her work cut out for her in the horror genre. She headlined a double dose ofFede Alvarezfilms - two of my absolute favorite horror films of the decade - and boy did those characters go through a lot of extreme scenarios during their fights for survival. There was the blood rain, arm-ripping and then some in 2013’sEvil Deadand then Levy powered through a home invasion nightmare in the 2016 release,Don’t Breathe....

When the Wright brothers first envisioned human flight, we can be certain they never quite envisioned an assassin played byJosh Hartnettbeing trapped in a plane full of other deadly killers, 37,000 feet in the air. After playing Cooper Abbott, a serial killer, a.k.a. “The Butcher,” inM. Night Shyamalan’s thriller filmTrap,in 2024. Harnett returns for a bit more violence, this time as an assassin in the action thriller,Fight or Flight. Ahead of the film’s anticipated release later this year in February, an action-packed trailer has been released, showing Harnett’s assassin mowing through several assailants several thousand feet in the air....

Even beforeRick and Morty,Justin Roilandwas one of the more fascinating folks to work in animation, both as a voice actor and as a creator, most notoriously for the Channel 101 seriesHouse of Cosbys, which was an online sensation untilBill Cosby’s lawyers did their best to smite it in 2006(because on the Internet, nothing is really ever gone,you can find it on YouTube today). It’s exactly that anarchic spark which has driven the wild wackadoo storytelling ofRick and Morty, which Roiland co-created withDan Harmonin 2013 for Adult Swim, and with its first four seasons has become both a cult favorite and a culture-defining series....

To celebrate the film’s upcoming release in Dolby 3D and IMAX, Disney and Marvel released three new posters forCaptain MarvelstarringBrie Larsonas the intergalactic ass-kicker Carol Danvers. I’m personally partial to the poster released by Dolby Cinema, which gives off an old-school, almost WWII-ish vibe without shying away from the fact that the costume has a straight-up warrior faux-hawk attached to the helmet, which is a wonderful, absurd thing. Captain Marvelwill be set in the 1990s—decades before Thanos snapped half the universe out of existence inAvengers: Infinity War—and follow Danvers' path from human fighter pilot to extraterrestrial Kree soldier....

Planes have an interesting place in the in the Nolan Cinematic Universe, with these winged metal birds often getting blown up or serving as the scene of dream infiltration. But, as Nolan tells it, the fate of the newest plane to cross paths with the director met an end so incredible and jaw-dropping, it will no doubt be a stunning moment onscreen....

[This is a re-post of myThe Discoveryreview from the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. The film will be released on Netflix on Friday, March 31st.] FilmmakerCharlie McDowell’s directorial debut,The One I Love, was a delightful, devilishly dark, and funny spin on the sci-fi genre. The grounded tale of a couple who discover that “perfect” versions of each other exist was a wonderful way to examine the ins and outs of relationships, and it was fun!...
