Many fans know of Octavia Spencer from the critically acclaimed dramatic roles on her resume, including a recent Oscar nomination for Hidden Figures. But Spencer has dabbled in comedy as well.

Everyone who says that Warner Brothers’ DC Comics Extended Universe isn’t fun enough and doesn’t celebrate the joy of its iconic superheroes finally has the movie they want in The LEGO Batman Movie. Sticklers might say that doesn’t count because it’s not Ben Affleck’s version of Batman (or whatever comes after that) and doesn’t tie […]

The 2017 Academy Awards are almost here, with the ceremony on Feb. 26. Sometimes, the voters get the winners right. Sometimes, they completely whiff on their choices. In certain instances, the mistakes are immediately obvious. But in other cases, the mishaps aren’t apparently until years later when films and their impact can be viewed with better […]

The hopes and excitement of Batman movie fans — and superhero movie fandom as a whole — were foiled two weeks ago by the dastardly news that Ben Affleck would no longer be directing The Batman, or whatever Warner Brothers’ next Batman blockbuster ends up being titled.

The Grammys are probably the most hated of the major entertainment awards. Fans always think their favorite bands are overlooked, music writers spend most of the night hate-tweeting the event, and even the artists seem put out by the entire show. It doesn’t help that the Grammys are kind of boring and ridiculous at the […]

The bombastic debut of Melissa McCarthy as White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer on last week’s Saturday Night Live, and the subsequent report that former New Jersey Generals owner Donald Trump was upset that Spicer was portrayed by a woman, created a stir on the internet with speculation over which female celebrity should appear next […]

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee featured its first returning guest, Bob Einstein. Was he funny enough to make up for a lot of “noise” (both literal and figurative) that made the episode feel unfocused? It’s the end of season nine of Comedians in Cars, and it is impressive that the show’s 59th episode features the first […]

John Oliver is finally — finally — returning to the airwaves when we need him most. Last Week Tonight resumes on HBO this coming Sunday at 11 p.m. ET after a three-month hiatus, which has given the comedic news anchor the necessary time to process what’s been going on in the country since the results […]

If there’s anything Doctor Who obsessives love more than discussing their favorite incarnation of the iconic character, it’s trying to predict who will portray The Doctor next. With the news that Peter Capaldi’s time as The 12th Doctor is coming to an end at the conclusion of the revival’s 10th season, fans almost immediately started […]

Approximately six weeks before its premiere, Netflix and Marvel have released a full trailer for its Iron Fist series. And if your first question is whether or not the character’s costume is revealed, the answer is no. But you knew that. Daredevil’s superhero costume was kept under wraps until season one premiered, so it was […]

Beer companies, snack food and auto manufacturers typically make up the bulk of Super Bowl advertising. But movies have also used the showcase to push upcoming blockbusters in recent years. Many of the spots were released online before the Super Bowl LI broadcast, but there was still room for a few surprises. Unfortunately, we didn’t […]
