The Clown Prince of Crime is not the only Batman character to appear in Joker – there were others that showed up, even if briefly and with little to no dialogue in some cases. Todd Phillips’ psychological thriller Joker is finally out in most parts of the world after months of controversy about its violence, Joaquin Phoenix’s acting method, and Todd Phillips’ (failed) attempts to defend the film from all the backlash....
Jesse Eisenberg is teaming up with J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk’s production company Bad Robot for a brand new comedy series, The Market.

Bad Robot Productions meanwhile, has had a hand in a number of critically and commercially successful television and film projects – typically with involvement from co-founder Abrams himself....
Moviegoers were in for a scare this weekend at the box office, as a longtime Halloween staple returned to claim the top spot after a prolonged absence. In first is Jigsaw, which earned $16.2 million in its first three days. The first new Saw installment in seven years, the film did a little better than expected, but still did not perform all that great. Its debut is the second-lowest in the history of the franchise, topping only the $14....
Jim Parsons explains why The Big Bang Theory is finally ending after 12 seasons, even if they can still easily go up for more outings. Debuting in 2007, the sitcom revolving around a group of friends living in Pasadena - most of which are academically gifted - has become the fan-favorite of many. It’s just been voted as the most-loved TV show across all ages, proof of its multi-generational appeal. That’s why a lot was surprised when CBS announced that its current season will be its last barely a month before it premiered....
Though Joachim Rønning didn’t direct the first film, he made sure to build on its world for Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. The movie, which opens on October 18th, incorporates the events and aesthetics of its predecessor before expanding those horizons beyond even Aurora’s imaginings. The director spoke with Screen Rant about what elements the felt were most important to maintain, as well as what was most challenging about exploring the world of Dark Fae in addition to the well-traveled Moors....
He might appear in a lot of movies, but it could still be argued that John C. Reilly is one of the most underrated actors working today. It’s tough to pin him down to a certain genre, because he’s been in all kinds of movies, but he’s never felt out of place, which is a testament to this guy’s talent and range. There are few actors, if any, who could hold their own in both a wacky Will Ferrell comedy and a sobering Paul Thomas Anderson drama....

An original project based on Chastain’s own idea, 355 gets its title from the code name for a real-life female spy who served in the American Revolutionary War.

The Joaquin Phoenix-starring film has received praise from a number of sources. During its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Joker received the prestigious Golden Lion award....
Todd Phillips’ Joker has reclaimed its #1 spot at the box office, beating out Maleficent: Mistress of Evil by only a slight margin. A massive success for WB and a career-best for star Joaquin Phoenix, Joker functions as both a searing sociopolitical commentary and an unflinching character portrait. It appears to have resonated with audiences in a big (and surprising) way, and its box office numbers are expected to climb even higher than the $800 million the movie has already earned worldwide....
Vanity Fair today has revealed the list of people who will speak at its upcoming New Establishment Summit in October and once again, Apple’s Chief Design Officer Jony Ive will be in attendance.

Jesse Stone: Sea Change is the best entry in the TV movie series to date. Tom Selleck’s first big breakthrough came when he was cast as the title character in CBS’ Magnum P.I. The show followed the adventures of a private eye in Hawaii and would run for eight seasons; it also featured crossover episodes with series like Simon & Simon. While Magnum P.I. undeniably made Selleck a star, it also led to a big “what if?...
Here’s a cast and character guide for Jesse Stone: Stone Cold. While he had been around for years before the show, it was Magnum P.I. that made Tom Selleck a star. The series followed the title character, a private eye based in Hawaii. The show was a huge success, running for eight seasons and crossing over with the likes of Murder, She Wrote. Being cast in the series famously cost Selleck the role of Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark, however, as his commitment to the former made him unavailable for filming....
Jessica Jones is one of the best TV adaptations we’ve seen come out of Marvel in recent years. It was dramatic and intense, and was an excellent example of what Jessica’s series has to give to its fans. And let’s not forget the number of new fans the series brought into the mix. But with any series, there are some episodes that are better than others (and vice versa). We’re here to talk about the ten best episodes....
Star Trek actor John Cho (Sulu) is optimistic that Star Trek 4 will still happen. This new era of Star Trek films began in 2009 with J.J. Abrams directing and Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto in the lead roles of Kirk and Spock, and the film was followed by two sequels - 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness and 2016’s Star Trek Beyond. It’s been a few years since fans have gotten to see a Star Trek project on the big screen, and the fate of Star Trek 4 has been uncertain for about that same amount of time....

T-Mobile CEO John Legere announced during the company’s Q4 earnings call today that the company has surpassed Sprint to become the number three carrier in the country. That would mean the carrier has reached its goal set by Legere to move ahead of Sprint by the end of last year (via The Verge): “…Going into this year, they have 55 million customers… T-Mobile had 33 million customers. We merged with MetroPCS and went to 42 million customers, and we’ve since added 13 million customers to get up to, guess what, 55 million customers....
