‘X-Men: Dark Phoenix’ Director Admits That ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ Stinks These days, filmmakers doing press for an upcoming sequel tend to transform their interviews into an ongoing apology tour for the previous movie. “Yeah, that one stank, but we learned a lot and this one will be better!” has been trotted out enough to feel meaningless at this point. Still,X-Men: Apocalypsewas so bad that I can’t help but cling toSimon Kinberg’s words when the longtime franchise writer/producer (and director of the upcomingX-Men: Dark Phoenix) admits that the previous core film in the series flopped on a pure creative level....

14 Shows Like Schitt’s Creek You Need To See There’s nothing more satisfying than watching a genuinely funny, warm-hearted sitcom find an audience and, more importantly, be given time to develop a niche following instead of being cancelled immediately. “Schitt’s Creek” was an unexpected hit, with each season introducing more and more people to the show who would quickly become diehard fans. The journey of the privileged Roses from comically out-of-touch one-percenters to a loving, supportive, emotionally healthy family was perhaps one of the greatest collective sitcom character arcs in television history....

Adèle Blanc-Sec Teaser Trailer #2: More Creatures, More Eccentric Characters It’s difficult at this point for me to reconcile the directorial work ofLuc Bessonwith his endless string of writing and producing projects. I’m still trying to wash the taste ofFrom Paris with Loveout of my mouth, and then a new teaser trailer forThe Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Secdrops in my lap. Looking at this, I wonder if Besson still has it, at least when he’s fully committed to a film as a director....

Angie’s Most Anticipated Films Of 2015 Even as I scramble to get in a few more 2014 releases before I close the book on this year, I’m looking forward to 2015.

A lot of those tentpoles look genuinely good....
