Sailor Moonis among the most popular manga and anime in both mediums' history. Created byNaoko Takeuchi, the story concerns Usagi Tsukino, a fourteen-year-old who discovers she is a Sailor Guardian, a superpowered soldier tasked with defending the Solar System from galactic threats. A huge part of the anime’s success rests on its distinctive aesthetics that showcase femininity and strength from a female perspective. This unique approach can be best appreciated in the iconic outfits of the Sailor Guardians....

With eight, high-octane features inThe Fast and the Furiousfranchise tallying $1.76 billion (adj.) domestically and a stupid $5.13 billion worldwide, clearly Universal is aiming to keep the box office-busting vehicle cruising along. This year’s installment,The Fate of the Furious, added a huge chunk to that total with over $224 million (adj.) domestically and more than $1.23 billion worldwide, so it’s obvious that the hype for this movie-verse is still strong. The studio had previously set the ninth installment for an July 06, 2025 release, but now,Fast & Furious 9has been delayed....

True to form, Michael Myers has returned with his eyes already fixed on his next victim.David Gordon Green’sHalloweensequel rose from the dead to the tune of $33 million on Friday night, putting it on track for an $80 opening weekend. If those numbers stay steady,Halloweenwould put a knife through the October record that was just set a few weeks ago by Sony’sVenom. (Tom Hardy’s pancreas-snackin' buddy flick earned $32.7 million in its Friday night debut....

From my perspective, this is the fist interesting weekend of 2017 in terms of box office. The last two weeks were still struggling to get beyond late 2016 openers, most prominent amongst them being the buoyant, incandescentHidden Figures. This weekend finds two big releases of note on the national stage that could bring in some solid returns:M. Night Shyamalan’sSplitandD.J. Caruso’sxXx: Return of Xander Cage. They are similar releases, up to a point, with the Shyamalan brand still struggling to return to its early-aughts glory and thexXxfranchise battling against a very real feeling of total irrelevance, even for an action series....

We hope the weekend gave readers plenty of time to catch up with all the heat we brought during last week’sCollider’s Exclusive Previewevent because the fun is starting all over again today. Last week, we delivered non-stop exclusive first looks at teasers, images, and interviews with the folks behind some of the biggest cinematic titles coming to theaters this fall, and now, we’re back, and we’re bringing the small-screen with us....

WithJordan Peele’sfantastic directorial debutGet Outnow available on digital download and Blu-ray/DVD, I recently sat down withAllison WilliamsandDaniel Kaluuyafor another interview about one of the best films of the year. As I said when I first spoke with the two stars of the film, Peele crafted a film that balances equal parts terror and social commentary and he’s done it in a way that the characters aren’t making stupid movie decisions. It’s a great modern take on race in America, and I’m also extremely impressed by both his script and direction and really hope this is the beginning of a long career behind the camera....

Spoilers ahead forAvengers: Infinity War. Avengers: Infinity Warconcludes with one hell of a bummer ending. Half the world gets wiped out and the villain, Thanos (Josh Brolin), is victorious. Usually, Marvel gives the audience two post-credits scenes as a bit a reprieve from all the action, but instead, we just have to sit through the sadness until the very end of the credits when we get one scene that tees up a new Marvel movie....

The Further has gone about as far as it can go. As introduced inJames WanandLeighWhannell’s playful paranormal rompInsidious, the inky black realm of spirits and demons known as the Further once offered a cheeky subversion of the standard haunted house yarn, where Wan’s creepy creatures could crawl out of the dark and mug at the camera with abandon. It was a good gimmick; a definitive crux of theInsidiousmythology and visual vocabulary (and a distinctly low-budget one at that....

It’s a Wonderful Lifeis a ubiquitous Christmas classic, a timeless piece of heartwarming, holiday-centered filmmaking that’s beloved by families to this day since its original 1946 release. What keeps thebelovedFrank Capra/Jimmy Stewartfeature on the hearts and minds of so many? Probably its magical realist conceit, able to strike directly into the purpose of human existence and remind everyone that they’re special for who they are. Nice and lovely, right? Well, to get there, we have to wade through the unrelentingly destructive forces of capitalism, the constant dashing of dreams, the looming doom of being stuck, the reminder that all people around you get to succeed while you do not, the slide into borderline abusive behaviors of desperation and anger, and eventually, the consideration of suicide....
