  • New photos and plot details for X-Men: Dark Phoenix

    After the disappointment that was X-Men: The Last Stand, it looked like we’d never get a real Dark Phoenix Saga movie. If the new images of Sophie Turner as Jean Grey are any indication, though, writer/director Simon Kinberg just might get it right.

  • Atomic Blonde Review

    At its best, Atomic Blonde ranks alongside the best action flicks of the decade. On the whole, though, it’s just solid summer escapism with several kickass moments.
