We cant stop thinking about this new trailer for Captive State from Focus Features. Mostly because Rise of the Planet of the Apes director Rupert Wyatt has a helluva cast and a pretty fascinating concept. “After 10 years of occupation, some chose cooperation, others chose resistance. Set in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after an occupation by […]

While it isn’t lengthy, ABC has released a short video tease for their upcoming reboot of the Roseanne revival, The Conners. The series will be a continuation of the Roseanne show, but without Roseanne Barr. Set to Carly Simon’s “Anticipation,” the 15-second video has no dialogue and no characters, just an empty couch that sits in the Conners living […]

The Connors were an all American family, struggling to make ends meet while interacting with their biting humor and love. […]

“Roseanne” is coming back to tv, and so is the Connors family

Is the evil within greater than the evil outside?  Billed as “a distant blood relative” of 2008’s Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane isn’t what you’re expecting, no matter WHAT you’re expecting.  Even though yes, it *is* a Bad Robot picture, this film is it’s own little bombshelter universe.
